Spatial Data Development at the Bureau of Transportation Statistics Track: Transportation Author(s): Matthew Sheppard, Patricia Solano, Raquel Wright The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) is leveraging ArcGIS and ArcIMS tools for critical spatial data development efforts. BTS has implemented an ArcIMS application designed to facilitate the collection and quality review of nonattainment area and metropolitan planning organization (MPO) data. The application is designed to link BTS with caretakers of relevant data throughout the country in EPA regional offices, MPOs, and state and local governments. ArcIMS provides the distributed computing and editing tools needed to facilitate the quality assurance and sharing of data to be assembled in geodatabases, filling long-existing data gaps. BTS also creates and updates an Intermodal Facility Database to respond to the needs of transportation GIS users. The Intermodal Facilities geodatabase has multiple commodity associations and directionality types for each facility and allows for up to four transportation modes per record. This paper presents the data gathering systems designed by BTS in these efforts, focusing on technological and subject-area approaches.

متن کاملMeasuring Identification Risk in Microdata Release and Its Control by Post-randomization
Statistical agencies often release a masked or perturbed version of survey data to protect respondents’ confidentiality. Ideally, a perturbation procedure should protect confidentiality without much loss of data quality, so that released data may practically be treated as original data for making inferences. One major objective is to control the risk of correctly identifying any respondent’s re...
