Researchers for the Next Generation Simulation (NGSIM) program collected detailed vehicle trajectory data on southbound US 101 and Lankershim Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA, eastbound I-80 in Emeryville, CA and Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. Data was collected through a network of synchronized digital video cameras.NGVIDEO, a customized software application developed for the NGSIM program, transcribed the vehicle trajectory data from the video. This vehicle trajectory data provided the precise location of each vehicle within the study area every one-tenth of a second, resulting in detailed lane positions and locations relative to other vehicles.

Dataset History

GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 is primarily sourced from GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 2 and 1:250 000 scale map reproduction material (from the National Topographic Map Series and Defence Joint Operation Graphics). A key revision source for the data is satellite imagery taken from the SPOT Panchromatic and LANDSAT Thematic Mapper Sensors. Revision material has also been gathered from a variety of authoritative sources. More information about the sources for this data can be found in Geoscience Australia's "http://www.ga.gov.au/mapspecs/250k100k" Topographic Data and Map Specifications.

The GEODATA TOPO 2.5M 2003 product is a national seamless data product aimed at regional or national applications. It is a vector representation of the Australian landscape as represented on the Geoscience Australia 1:2.5M general reference maps and is suitable for GIS applications.

It supersedes the TOPO 2.5M 1998 product by being developed according to GEODATA standards as described below. The data was derived from GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 2 data where available and GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 1 and has double precision accuracy.

The product consists of eleven data layers, including built-up areas, contours, drainage, framework, localities, offshore, rail transport, road transport, sand ridges, spot heights, and waterbodies.

The SDE Transport Database (STRANSPORT) is a subset of the former SDE Best Available Geographic Database (SBAGD). STRANSPORT contains only the transport feature datasets and feature classes such as aviation, marine, road and rail.

SBAGD is a historic database comprising the GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 data and any updates that were made from 2008-2013. This vector data represents major topographic features and has been sourced through many programs such as the National Topographic Information Coordination Initiative (NTICI).

The topographic data complies with the Topographic Data and Map Specifications for the National Topographic Database & NTMS Series 1:250 000 & 1:100 000 scale topographic map products version 6.0.

Following the acceptance in 2003 by the Council of Australian Governments of the twelve reform commitments into natural disaster mitigation, relief and recovery arrangements; the Department of Transport and Regional Services engaged Geoscience Australia to act as its technical advisor in a national program of natural hazard risk assessment. One step in this process was the development of a catalogue of riverine flood studies completed in Australia between 1980 and mid 2004. The catalogue is the first attempt at assembling information on existing flood studies at a national level. It provides the foundation from which to identify and prioritise areas for future flood studies, improving our knowledge of national flood risk. Attributes stored in the database are described; a number of conclusions are drawn from the data, and a number of recommendations are made relating to the future development of a comprehensive national flood risk assessment.

Road network extracted from Digital Chart of the World (DCW) Transport dataset (dataset derived from the Digital Chart of the World).

Generic information on DCW data sets

The primary source for DCW is the US Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series produced by the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The ONCs have a scale of 1:1,000,000, where 1 inch equals approximately 16 miles.The charts were designed to meet the needs of pilots and air crews in medium and low altitude en route navigation and to support military operational planning, intelligence briefings, and other needs. Therefore, the selection of ground features is based on the requirement for rapid visual recognition of significant details seen from a low perspective angle. The DCW database was originally published in 1992. Data currency varies from place to place depending on the currency of the ONC charts. Chart currency ranges from the mid 1960s to the early 1990s. Compilation dates for every ONC chart are included in the database.

For more information on the Digital Chart of the world please browse the DCW website where you can download these data in VPF format.

GA has converted these VPF format files to common GIS formats Arcview and Mapinfo.

Available datasets include drainage, roads and railway networks, political areas and boundaries and population centres.

Available for free download.

The Christmas Island Geographic Information System (CIGIS) is a collection of spatial data, viewing and analysis tools dealing with Christmas Island, Indian Ocean. The data include orthophotography, topographic, mining, cultural and environmental features of the island. This work is part of ongoing service to the Department of Transport and Regional Services.

This paper outlines the key sediment processes and provides a brief overview of observational data sets required for the development of coastal sediment transport models. Application of state-of-the-art operational-research sediment transport models to coastal environments, and integration of these models with observations, is illustrated through a number of case studies. Major gaps in existing modelling strategies and observational capabilities are highlighted and directions for further research and development are discussed.
