Geo-Spatial Technologies Application To Customs Hammamet September 26 th, 2017
GE-Data: previous experience Agenda Leveraging data through geography Geomatics GIS databases Information products and tools Potential applications of satellite image analysis for data creation Border / Port infrastructure Port traffic / waiting times Truck traffic Informal crossing roads detection Land uses, changes and settlements 2
GE-Data: Previous Experience Specialized in geospatial technologies Based in France and USA 25 years of experience, mostly in agriculture In more than 30 countries Recently worked on several trade-related projects for the World Bank Smuggling estimation at the Algerian-Mali border Informal trade at the north Iraqi border Port transit time 3
Geomatics and Geographic Information Systems Geomatics is creating geographic data, visualizing, processing, analyzing and reporting 80% of information can be geolocalized Very few domains in which geomatics are not used Linking data to its geographic component enables revealing (spatial) intelligence Visualize problem Look into explanations of facts / trends / fluxes using geography Geo-model ongoing/new phenomenon Anticipate fluxes/behaviors changes with time maps Transport network Infrastructure Terrain (elevation, slope) Land use maps Borders Example Allocating limited resources for border controls 4
Potential Applications for Data Creation Border / Port infrastructure
Border Infrastructure
Border Infrastructure 1km
Port Infrastructure Get count and organization of infrastructures Cranes (yes/no, number, where) Storage types and capacity Length and number of access roads Length of docks
Port Infrastructure Container count estimate using shadows Dar es Salaam, TZ
Potential Applications for Data Creation Border / Port infrastructure Port traffic / waiting times
Port Traffic Number and length of boats waiting for unloading at different dates
Potential Applications for Data Creation Border / Port infrastructure Port traffic / waiting times Truck traffic
Truck Traffic: Cover an Entire Border 5km
Truck Traffic: Output Example Number of 6 Meter Trucks On Iraqi Side of Border 50 km
Truck Traffic: Local Distribution of Trucks Waiting Total number of trucks : 1894 Total number of eq.6m: 3029 Bypass road under construction 1km
Zoom to Border Crossing at Different Dates 2013, Aug. 7 2014, Sept. 27 100m 2015, May 7 2015, Aug. 17
Potential Applications for Data Creation Border / Port infrastructure Port traffic / waiting times Truck traffic Informal crossing roads detection
Informal Roads: Algeria-Mali Border
Both Parallel Tracks Are Visible
Outputs Mapped Identified Informal Roads Map of major and minor off roads relative to border and border stations Total length of off roads by category and areas Potential for evolution across time
Potential Applications for Data Creation Border / Port infrastructure Port traffic / waiting times Truck traffic Informal crossing roads detection Land uses, changes and settlements
Evaluate land uses Track changes over time Land Uses, Land Use Change Satellite Image(s) Land Use Mapping
Evaluate overall settlement area Evaluate overall roof area Count number of disjoint houses Settlements
