New Mexico ArcView Demonstration Data

DGR has prepared several ArcView based demonstration projects for clients such as the New Mexico Health Policy Commission (HPC) and the Traffic Safety Bureau (TSB). Some portions of these demonstrations contain confidential (information about particular people) and proprietary (hospital services performed) information that can not be released to the public. However, there are many portions of these demonstrations that are summaries of the data and are available to the public.

There are different icons for demonstration data intended for public use and restricted data intended for the use of law enforcement and other government agencies. The restricted ARC/INFO modules are NOT available through anonymous FTP. Restricted ARC/INFO modules will require user authorization to initiate an FTP session.

Selected ArcView data modules and views can be downloaded from this Web page for those that have their own copies of ESRI's (Environmental Systems Research Institute) ArcView software. For those who would like to obtain a copy of the PC(Windows) version of ArcView version 1.0 that has been made publicly available, a link to ESRI's Web page is provided, or the software can be downloaded below. There will also be demonstration modules available later this year for ArcView 2 and 3 (which unlike Arcview 1.0, are not currently distributed on a no-cost basis).

Please note that not all of DGR's geographic(map based) data will be immediately available in ArcView, as DGR is currently in the process of preparing ArcView presentations converted from its GRNDB formatted data. Expect to see much more ArcView demonstration data available during 1999 as DGR accelerates this conversion process.

UNM's CIRT department does not currently allow anonymous access to their FTP facility due to security considerations. DGR has consequently provided anonymous FTP access via ftp://wwwdgr.unm.edu/. If the primary server is temporarily inaccessible, a back-up FTP server can be found at ftp://lmspear.unm.edu/.

DGR is currently evaluating more dynamic and interactive (Internet based) data query and map display facilities using software such as Avenza's MapPublisher, ESRI's ArcView and Map Objects Internet Map Servers (IMS) , MapInfo's ProServer, and SAS's Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) used with SAS's GIS software . DGR hopes to make use of these facilities in the near future once we select the products that are best suited to our needs and budget requirements.

Some of the interactive map and data display demonstrations that DGR is currently working on are available below. These demonstrations are in the process of being revised. If they are not available please try again later. More information about these demonstrations can be found at DGR's Auxillary Web Server.

Traffic Crash ArcView Data (Modules):

DGR has prepared ArcView based traffic crash display and analysis demonstrations for the State of New Mexico and the City of Roswell. This system allows local officials (police, planners, and elected leaders) and the public to easily review traffic crash information for their community. Some of these demonstrations also contain census and demographic data and address matching capabilities so that traffic crash information can be viewed and analyzed in context to other information about the population.

Although all of the information is nicely organized in ArcView and easily accessible using a desktop PC, a considerable effort was necessary to prepare this information in ArcView format. All the preparation of this data took place outside of ArcView using a combination of facilities such as SAS, DGR's GRNDB system, and ARC/INFO. The traffic crash matching and summarization facilities of the GRNDB and the Macro facilities of SAS prepared all the traffic crash, census, and demographic data before it was transferred to ARC/INFO and subsequently ArcView.

DGR is currently in the process of preparing ArcView version 2 and 3 based modules for most of the urbanized areas in New Mexico. These ArcView modules will eventually be distributed to local communities so that they can more easily review their traffic crash data and related information using their own desktop PC equipment.

A New Mexico statewide (rural roads) ArcView 2.1 demonstration is also available. Please see the GIF (Map) files presented below for examples of this statewide ArcView demonstration module.
