This demo illustrates the following Safe Road Maps features:
- Map – visually display spatial data for analysis and decision
support
- Safety Policy – map layers indicating areas of legislative policies
- Safety Profile – pre-defined queries of fatality events
- Safety Statistics – drill-down (query/filter) through various data
sets
- KML File – download KML files, both static and query-based, for
display in Google Earth (or other KML reader)
A mashup is a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool; an example is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real-estate data from Craigslist, thereby creating a new and distinct web service that was not originally provided by either source.
This demo
illustrates the result of clicking-on the "Display Map in
Google Earth" link.
Google Earth is initialized; a KML file is dynamically generated
based on a Safety Profile or Safety Statistics query and is transmitted
from the Web server to the local computer and automatically loaded into
Google Earth.
Google
Earth combines the power of Google Search with satellite imagery,
maps, terrain and 3D buildings to put the world's geographic
information at your fingertips.
