Description
Nicholls State University Geospatial Technology Center (GTC) has been conducting a research project involving the road databases of seven parishes in the region. The main objective of this project is to produce a regional standardized dataset for integration with other datasets in a Geographic Information System (GIS) application. The datasets were standardized using the Urban and Regional Information Systems and Association (URISA), United States Postal Service (USPS), and parish address standards. The standardized dataset increased the spatial and attribute accuracy which is important in mission critical applications such as emergency response, post-hurricane recovery, school bus routing, and waste management.
