Suitable Locations for New Gas Stations In Mankato, MNBENJAMIN ALBERT

Data

Collected data from MNDOT(Traffic data), TIGER(Road network), MNGEO (Elevation data), MN Geospatial Commons (Land Use data)

Aerial analysis to find the current gas stations in Mankato, used google docs to geo code the addresses into a layer.

Clipped all data to only include the urban area around Mankato.

Location Analysis model

Methodology

Reclassify data to favor ideal conditions for a new gas station. Use reclassified data to find optimal locations for Gas stations based

on proximity to major roads and distance from competition.

Use weighted overlay to assign different values to different conditions.

Find the best spots to build

Traffic Data

This was actually done outside the model then I ran a Euclidean distance on just the busiest 1/3 of ofstreets

Heavy Truck TrafficDid the same thing with the trucks and only took the top 1/3rd again to be used for the Euclidean distance

Land use Data

You cant just build a gas station anywhere you want.I cut out the landuses that were restricted to new buildings, like open water and already built-up areas.

Competitor gas stations

Terrain Data

Findings

Using a suitability model, found best locations for new Stations.

Findings

FindingsUsing the Con tool I extracted only the two highest classes of suitability (left) and the highest bracket (right)

Findings

After using the Con tool to pull out only the highest ranked areas I converted them into vector data for better visualization and analysis.

Findings

Using only the highest ranked bracket I narrowed it down further by looking at the base map and hand deleting areas that are not suitable due to old data.

Findings

Remember this map from earlier? All 4 of the most ideal locations are further than three quarters of a mile from any competition, on stable ground (no slope), close to main roads, and sitting on Land that is buildable.

Stormwater Inspection Goals

Provide a Mobile Solution for Stormwater Inspections Needs:

To be Accessible in various platforms.

Easily symbolized and mapped.

Ability to query data.

Provide Reports.

Collector for ArcGIS

Sufficient Option

Edit our Feature Services (related tables)

The inspection tables can be mapped easily through spatial views.

Easily searchable.

Collector for ArcGIS

Downside of Collector App: Collector Table window small &

Inspection Tables are Lengthy. The combination can make entering information difficult.

Needs a Customized Report Option. Python Reportlab.

Survey123 for ArcGIS

Survey123 is Multiple Platform Support.

User friendly. The forms are large viewable forms on tablets, phones, and pc’s.

Customizable Smart Forms. Pre-populate forms. Hide fields if they are irrelevant. Pass data to the survey form.

Inspections can be Easily mapped in filters or spatial views. Searchable

Built-in reports that can be customized.
