Title: November 20
1Maryland Statewide GIS Coordination
- November 20
- Statewide Addressing Road Centerline Projects

University
2SHA Project History
- The Shared Centerline Program started in 2001
with the Maryland State Highway Administration
(SHA) testing vertical integration of
transportation data using the Howard County
attributed centerline - SHA developed a methodology that would allow
sharing the common centerline from local
governments - SHA attaches a unique-ID onto each road segment
allowing simplification of future data exchange
as well as making the data model flexible
3 Project History
- This is why a cooperative centerline was needed
- Original SHA Route System
4Project History
- New SHA Routes with County Centerline data
5Project History
6Project History
- Maryland State Highway Administration (MD-SHA)
and the Maryland Association of Counties (MACO)
received a 2005 Special Achievement in GIS award
for its outstanding use of geographic information
system (GIS) technology from ESRI - Later in 2005, ESRI President Jack Dangermond met
with SHA, sharing with the team that data
interchange may be enhanced with the new
capabilities being introduced into the ArcGIS
data server environment at the 9.2 release
7Project History
- The Cooperative Centerline Program has evolved
into the Federated, or Synchronized Street
Centerline Project, via the current Pilot between
SHA, Towson University and Anne Arundel,
Baltimore, Harford, Howard and Saint Marys
Counties
8Maryland Statewide Addressing Initiative
Immediate Project Goals
- To provide a unified, statewide road centerline
that supports addressing needs - To provide counties with a means to automatically
share an unrefined version (i.e., not for federal
reporting) of their street centerline data - To augment existing efforts of Maryland State
Highway Administrations federal reporting by
improving data access via a centralized
distribution node - To advance ESRIs mission in demonstrating the
data synchronization capabilities of ArcGIS
Server 9.2 - To increase the efficiency of statewide highway
incident reporting. - Long Range Goal To establish a single,
statewide road centerline that supports
addressing, linear referencing, routing, and
cartography.
9Maryland Statewide Addressing Initiative
Project Benefits
- Foundation for Marylands Spatial Data
Infrastructure - Unified, statewide addressing layer that supports
geocoding - Counties can geocode beyond their borders
- States can leverage locally rich data
consistently - Elimination of the need for manual data exchange
via CD - Ability to establish a persistent replica that is
updated automatically - Ability to extract data for a specified geography
through a geodata service - Accessible by other applications that require
geocoding - Combining Web services through a Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA) approach - Builds upon established SHA database schema

- Each county provided feedback on schema mappings
16Maryland Statewide Addressing Initiative County
Pilot Meeting Outcomes
- ETL Mapping Schema
- Each county provided feedback on schema mappings
17Maryland Statewide Addressing Initiative County
Pilot Meeting Outcomes
- Each county centerline ran through the ETL
- Produces an output shapefile
- Output shapefiles from the ETL are merged
- Produces the Statewide merged dataset
18Maryland Statewide Addressing Initiative Updates

- Geocoding Service
- In-network and Off-network replica creation and
synchronization successful
19Maryland Statewide Addressing Initiative
Foundations
- Foundation for Marylands StateStat and BayStat
efforts - MDiMap
- Provide framework layers as a service
- consistent base map
