Update: April 27, 2007
In December
of 2006 King County Metro Transit reached
a major milestone with the rollout of TNET
replacing the aging King County Street Network
(KCSN). As such TNET is now provided to the
King County GIS Center and is available on
the King
County GIS Standard Data Disk as
trans_network. With full integration into
Transit's core business systems, TNET’s
significant improvements in completeness,
currency and spatial accuracy have in effect
raised the bar for Transit’s users of GIS
data, in turn placing heavy on-going demands
on the Transit GIS Team.
We are also working with TC Technology to integrate their GO!
Sync (external link) product with the TNET Editor, our custom attribute editor extension. Once this effort is complete we will move into full integration testing prior to releasing TNET to potential consortium agencies. TNET editing will remain at ArcGIS 9.1 as GO! Sync is only certified to this version. Our next effort will be testing ArcGIS Server's disconnected geodatabase replication. Once this utility is fully tested we will be able to migrate all TNET editing and database activity to ArcGIS 9.2.
As always,
please Contact
Us and let
us know if we can be of any
help
to
you. |

Update: October 21,
2005
Work on preparing
TNET for release continues.
We have been plagued with difficulty
in deployment of the synchronization
technology. The product works,
but is problematic to configure,
and with 40+ sites, we want
to have the configuration solid
and reproducible. These delays
are frustrating for us and
we are sure for you as well,
but the result of our efforts
for a stable system will benefit
us all. In the meantime, we
continue to improve the data
and the application for maintaining
the attributes.
We are working
with Pierce County on a pilot
effort for the Washington State
DOT Framework Effort. A piece
of this effort will align our
two transportation networks
on the county border at specific "agreement
points". The pilot will also
permit us to incorporate Pierce
County streets on the border
into TNET rather seamlessly.
This will facilitate cross-county
transportation navigation,
planning, and research questions
as well as support emergency
response requirements for southern
King County cities.
As always,
please Contact
Us and let
us know if we can be of any
help
to
you. |

Update: April 19, 2005
Work on the
last stages of preparing the
transportation network for
release continues. We are migrating
the TNET editor to
ArcGIS 9.x. The new version
of the data synchronization
technology GO!
Sync (external link), which
will support ArcGIS 9.x and
multiple
database platforms (e.g.,
Oracle, SQL Server, & PGDB),
will be released in June 2005.
An updated
draft of the TNET
Consortium Guide Book and Best
Practices is available for
your review and comment.
Also available are the TNET Participation
Agreement (75kb PDF) and the
TNET
Terms and Conditions (114kb PDF).
Please Contact
Us if you have any questions. |

Update: November 22,
2004
Data
corrections are ongoing, the data entry
application is operational
within KCDOT, and the final
testing of the environment
has begun. The draft Consortium
Guide Book and Best Practices is
now available for your
review
and comment.
A draft of the
interagency agreement document
is nearing completion and
will also be posted for your
review as soon as it is available.
Please Contact
Us if you have any
questions. |

Update: August 2, 2004
It is with
great honor that we announce
that the TNET development
team will receive a Special
Achievement
in GIS award from ESRI. We
will accept this award on behalf
of all TNET consortium
participants—together we will
make TNET a successful
example of coordinated data
maintenance.
See
the notification letter (53kb
PDF).
This summer
will be exciting as we expect
to wrap
up
preliminary data corrections,
finish the data entry application,
fully test the environment,
and complete the best practices/inter-local
agreement
documents for
your review. By the end of
2004
we should be ready to begin
implementation at consortium
member agencies.
Please
Contact
Us if you have any
questions. |

We have completed
the conflation of the King
County
Street Network
and GDT attributes to the
new high-accuracy transportation
network created from digital
orthophotography. The custom TNET
attribute maintenance extension
is currently being tested. Go!
Sync technology (external
link), which will be
used to communicate changes
between replicated
versions (112kb PDF),
has been successfully integrated.
System installation and setup
documentation is currently
being developed. We will
begin
beta testing the new transportation
network in the first quarter
of 2004.
