Virtual NY Presentations - Speaking Points

Improved Data Visualization

Current mapping solutions across the state are stylistically all over the place.
It’s hard to read data when it’s displayed in a list format
We propose that its much cleaner and easier to understand if its all being shown using a consistent look and feel
You can toggle each individual data layer on and off at your leisure.

Statue of Liberty

Demonstrates some of Google Earth’s multi-media and social networking capabilities
Videos, Panoramic 360degree and still photos, Wikipedia, Twitter, YouTube, etc.
Ability customize the User Experience to highlight Points of Interest we want to emphasize
The bubble – fully customizable with the web links and content we desire
Demonstrates ability to integrate “Google content” (e.g. the endless photos contributed by everyday citizens, with our own desired content )

Appalachian Trail

At a high level, able to see the entire Appalachian trail as well as where it passes through NYS
As we zoom into finer detail we are able to see the specific Parking sites and shelters along the trail to aid us in planning our excursion
Capability to get additional details (services available, weather, etc) associated with any specific shelters or parking facility
The “tour” capability allows prospective hikers to get a perspective of the distance, terrain, and environment they will experience on their excursion

Government Engagement

Ability to design the content to differentiate past, live, and future events
Ability to customize what information (in the bubble) we want to share about each type of event
Could be used to aid in communicating any kind of public event to constituents
Leverages existing resources such as the Governor’s flicker page for photos

Economic Development

There are many sites available in Utica, my chosen place to move my business to.
But I need Rail connected to my lot.
So there’s really only one choice for me.
And I’d also like to see what types of things are accessible to my Employees and I if I purchase this commercial property.
If I pull out on the map to see multiple counties at once I can look at demographic information to decide if the area that I’ve chosen is actually going to be a good fit.
First we’ll see population by block level.
Then we see Median Income by block level.
Using these I can see that moving my business to this part of NY would benefit me greatly.

Flooding (all data is mocked up)

Begin with statewide look at the current state of flooding in NY
You can see the Flood warning areas highlighted
Along with 511NY Alerts, Bridge closings and Photos in the surrounding areas
Zooming into a localized view you can see:
Multiple degrees of flooding warnings, low medium to high
511NY alerts, closed bridges, red cross shelters, food pantries, and photos from citizens in the affected arteas.

Relocation Segment

Ability to see details surrounds of any particular address of interest (e.g. new work / home)
Ability to get a perspective of a typical commute including driving directions and travel time
“Tour” functionality provides a mechanism to “experience” my daily commute to the office
Ability to get a perspective on the services and points of interest in my new community (daycare, schools / school report cards, parks, public transit, etc.).

Crime Reporting

Provides a mechanism to drill down crime data from very high-level statewide statistics and trends, to very specific incidents at a specific street address
“Time Slider” capability provides a mechanism to visualize crime trends over a pre-defined time period. For example, “What have been the Overall / Violent crime trends in Albany county over the past 10 years”
Can apply that same trending analysis at the County / ORI (police precinct) level
Incident level data could be used to monitor specific crime levels or crime types by neighborhood, looking for trends. By publishing incidents to a public site, could also be used as a replacement for citizen “FOIL” requests on specific crime events.

Indian Point Evacuation

Provides a simple mechanism to identify points of interest (shelters, bus stops, hotels, etc) within pre-defined radius of the power plant (2 mile, 5 mile, 10 mile, etc.)
Specific details (e.g. address, phone, operating hours, etc.) associated with any of those points of interest would also be available.
Ability to display pre-defined evacuation routes and integrate with real-time traffic camera data (e.g. NY511)

Prison Closings

Here we can see the 7 prison closings around the state
If we focus on the Oneida Correctional Facility we can see all of the businesses that would qualify for tax credits by hiring ex prison employees.

Real Time Data

Demonstrates the ability to integrate a wide variety of content ranging from real-time traffic cameras to monitoring the movement of physical assets or individuals
These are just a very few examples of how this technology could be leveraged
Parolee / Sex Offender tracking
Asset tracking (emergency vehicles, high value assets)
Service provider tracking (air/ground ambulance, public transit buses)
High Risk personnel tracking (Police/Parole/Probation officers)
