Winners of the 2022 Cyclomedia Project:
For this exercise you will be acting in the role of a member from Washington D.C.’s District Department of Transportation1 and Traffic Regulations, and your assignment is to ensure street sign regulations are implemented in your city. The city has reported several traffic incidents in the same area over the past year. The incident reports consist mostly of oversized trucks scraping the tops of overpasses as well as an alarming number of speeding being reported. You have been assigned to use Cyclomedia’s Street Smart tools to implement street sign regulations and trouble shoot a solution. You are going to check the average height of vehicles and compare them to the height of the signs to see if the average street sign height may need adapted. You are also going to check the distance between speed limit signs to ensure they are placed properly for drivers to see. Finally, you will be using both tools to check an overpass that most of the reports have come from as well as check as tunnel with similar reports. Some people are attributing this to the improper placement of signs. Signs are divided into three basic categories: Regulatory, Warning, and Guide signs. Most signs within each category have a special shape and color. Be sure to look out for each of these signs and try to fit them into one of the three categories. Refer to the following website to know what you are looking for in street signs: https://ddot.dc.gov
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is surveying the city’s traffic infrastructure and replacing signs, cables, and lights that do not meet the city’s new requirements or have obvious damage. We will navigate northward through 42nd street NW, Washington D.C., and determine which signs are to be removed and those that are still up to code. To complete this exercise, you will be using Street Smart’s various measuring tools to evaluate, label, and document the outdated infrastructure - the DDOT will import all of the measurements created during this exercise. We will label the measurements with one of two abbreviations: to be removed (TBR) or satisfactory (SAT).
California University of Pennsylvania students created two exercises to highlight Cyclomedia products which integrate imagery and LIDAR. These lessons covered topics such as Applications for Event Planning and Management and Fire Safety. After completing the event planning and management lesson, students should be able to explain how Cyclomedia can be used to aid in event planning and management and analyze Street Smart Imagery using 3-D features and measurement techniques. After completing the fire safety exercise, students will be very familiar with Cyclomedia's Street Smart Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
