BACKGROUND
As part of our effort to be the most productive and efficient Public Works agency in the Bay Area, the Public Works Department is implementing Lucity, a computerized maintenance management system, with geography as the focal point for easy data management, retrieval, and analysis. Having geospatially organized asset data facilitates more effective maintenance and capital improvement programs.
The City has developed geographic inventory layers for sewer and storm assets, as these were part of the Phase 1 Lucity Implementation. The City now needs to develop layers for streets, signs, signals, sidewalk, and medians. In December 2014, as part of the storm asset data collection, the City deployed a vehicle to drive City streets, capturing Mobile LiDAR data of all assets in the public right of way. Mobile LiDAR is an innovative mapping solution that incorporates advanced sensors, cameras, and position/navigation to collect survey-quality point data quickly and accurately. This data set can now be used to extract the location and attribute information of the remaining assets to be managed in Lucity.
Lucity integrates with the City's geographic information system (GIS). This allows City assets, work history, and other critical information to be shown in map view from either a wor...
