  • Abstract:
    This report summarizes the work accomplished during the second year of a three-year project to develop a state of the art, integrated environmental monitoring and modeling system to provide data and information to support the operation, management, and evaluation of various land and marine based transportation systems in RI. TRANSMAP features an open architecture, industry standard software tools and modules, an embedded geographic information system (GIS), standardized data handling protocols, an environmental data analysis and presentation system, and access for linkage to models and management tools. The basic framework of TRANSMAP and its associated data, map, and web servers has been constructed, implemented and

    tested. The system is fully operational, with access to a variety of existing, real time meteorological and marine measurement

    systems and is currently undergoing beta testing. The system allows the user an extensive suite of tools to analyze data being

    collected or archived in the data base and allows routine access to GIS bases. A thermal energy balance model, that provides

    real time forecasts of the temperature profile in the roadbed, and a hazardous chemical spill model, that predicts the zone of

    concern for an evaporative plume from land-based spills of hazardous chemicals, were developed/implemented and fully

    integrated within TRANSMAP. TRANSMAP has been presented in a wide variety of professional forums to generate feedback on

    its basic architecture and implementation. The web based version of the system is currently operational and its ability to meet user needs evaluated. (34 p.)
