Superior decisions are Made With Superior Information


Superior decisions are Made With Superior Information

GIS software is often referred to as "mapping software" and associated with physical geography. But GIS technology is flexible enough to map any kind of terrain, even the human body, for a myriad of purposes.
DBSysgraph is a leader in the application of GIS technology and can help you map any data you wish. We apply advanced management information technologies to support the need for timely, accurate, and meaningful information by integrating technologies such as:
  • Geographic information system
  • Data warehousing
  • Web reporting tools, and
  • Custom intranet sites
We put your information to work as a part of an overall, enterprise-wide system or a specific, customized information system, providing detailed information in the form of thematic maps, tables, and charts -- whenever and however you need it.
We can provide GIS based solutions for:

Automated Vehicle Location AVL

Chemical & Environmental Monitoring

We use GIS technology to efficiently and cost-effectively monitor the environment and those products that pose environmental, ecological and community hazards. It is also the key to helping organizations comply with the multilateral regulations that are the result of growing global markets.

Facilities & Asset Management GIS

Many facility/asset management systems rely on state, federal, or regional digital maps for general information. For facility (sewer, water, drainage, road, signage, public building inventory) and revenue-based information (land parcel data, taxation parcels) in geographic coordinates, they rely on conventional data collection sources, such as surveyors.
DBS provides support in streamlining these methodologies for the selection of attribute data, collection schedules, mapping, and data interfacing.
Asset Management Examples:

GIS applications including field information management:
  • Incident analysis
  • Urban tree planting
  • Parking meter analysis
  • Bridge mapping and inspection
  • Pavement management systems
  • Levee maintenance and management systems
Organizations that manage urban assets:
  • State and local transportation departments
  • Municipal gas utilities
  • Municipal water utilities
  • Municipal sewage utilities
  • Regional planning bodies
  • Downtown development districts
  • Levee districts
Examples of urban asset features and attributes to be mapped: 
  • Storm drains
  • Hurricane protection levees
  • Culverts and driveways
  • Access points (manholes) for underground electric, water, sewage, and gas distribution systems
  • Street light poles and utility poles
  • Fireplugs and other emergency equipment, and emergency water supplies
  • Street signs (general, regulatory, and directional)
  • Traffic signs
  • Property boundaries (zoning, land-use, planning, jurisdictional, and tax collection)

Land-use & Coastal Land Management

The classic tasks of land-use GIS include the analysis and alpha-numeric/graphic presentation of spatial data. However, the functionality of classic GIS can be significantly enhanced with the addition of new data sources like:
  • Vector and raster GIS data
  • Sound, image, and video data
DBSysgraph offers a comprehensive group of solutions for creating, deploying, and maintaining multi-media GIS. We also incorporate the Internet to further improve communication between all parties involved in land-use planning processes.

Benefits and Features:
  • A repository for information on the region and its community
  • A brief overview of the current forms of land-use in the region andtrends in development
  • An analysis tool for landscape architects in identifying potential land-use conflicts
  • A framework for the landscape architect who, while working in consultation with various stakeholders, must provide workable solutions to land-use conflicts and prepare guidelines for future development in the region
  • Assistance in handling and analyzing an increasingly large and complex body of data
  • Clear, presentable communication of data to stakeholders
  • An opportunity for landscape planners to react to proposed approaches
  • An analysis to determine the usefulness of an approach to a local community and its citizens

Maritime

GIS technology keeps you sailing.
DBSysgraph offers a full array of consulting services to develop a set of (GIS) Geographic Information System and geoprocessing tools allowing online access to a baseline map, asset management, and imagery data for different port jurisdictions. This specialized area of GIS focuses on select geographic informational resources for various port jurisdictions and takes a regional, as opposed to a thematic, approach to examining distributed, networked data-access issues.
Through the application of GIS technology, the Maritime Industry can now:
  • Display graphical summaries for precise areas and specified months of the year
  • Supply on-line, maritime navigational charts
  • Allow access to global communities and trading partners
  • Provide a base for evaluating Homeland Security Threats
  • Provide a venue for port-owned or subsidized properties to be marketed globally
  • Furnish detailed resident industry information
  • Provide support for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) operations to seamlessly integrate suppliers, shippers, and clients
  • Give detailed routing and logistics support for shipments
  • Maintain support for Vessel Tracking Control (VTC) and integrate with current port operations
  • Ship's database formation and support
  • Ship's movement simulation based on operator's data
DBSysgraph's Marine Environmental Sciences provide a complete set of GIS services, from database development to data analysis and visualization, application development, and GIS infrastructure counseling. Driven by our customers' need to work with the marine geo-technical data generated, we specialize in innovative methods of accessing, visualizing, delivering, and storing data for clients using GIS and related technologies.
A key link in our intermodal transportation infrastructure is port and waterway facilities. For many nations and communities, they represent the only economical choice for the import or export shipments of raw materials and manufactured goods. Planning, operating, and maintaining these complexes effectively and efficiently require accurate and timely information. Many of these facilities are used beyond their original capacities. In order to continue to use these facilities effectively, managers must review changes in plans in order to redirect limited resources.
GIS allows data integration in a way that facilitates timely understanding and decision-making. In addition, many bodies of water are extremely sensitive to pollutants and excessive traffic. GIS helps engineers and planners more easily accommodate design goals and environmental constraints. This also provides a sys-temic, intermodal view of new plans, which can also include landside road and rail transportation facilities.

Public Safety

Knowing where and when is critical.
Our (GIS) Geographic Information System team has the precise tools to model and analyze complex spatial systems. In addition to possessing the right set of tools and applications, we offer all-inclusive consulting and implementation services to assist law enforcement agencies in data acquisition, data conversion, application development, systems management, and ongoing database development and management.
