Final Report: Westbrook Downtown Parking Study/Management Plan, Gorrill-Palmer Consulting Engineers, Inc. Dec 2006

Final Report: Westbrook Downtown Parking Study/Management Plan, Gorrill-Palmer Consulting Engineers, Inc.

Maine Town Documents

In the early 2000's, Westbrook was the beneficiary of an upswing in the Southern Maine economy, aided by a strong marketing effort on the part of the City. As a result, new office buildings and retail facilities located in or near the downtown area and older buildings were rehabilitated and redeveloped. This increase in commercial and business activity increased the demand for parking downtown. With an eye toward long-term growth, a parking management plan was developed to provide the tools necessary to manage the increased demand for parking.

Nsf-Cnpq Collaborative Research On Integrating Geospatial Information, Max J. Egenhofer

University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports

Under this project, researchers at the University of Maine and the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE) are collaborating to study new models for integrating geographic information. The two research teams complement each other, providing a unique synergy in conceptual modeling and systems development. Long-term visits by Brazilian researchers assure a tight cooperation, and provide for integrated research and education. The work focuses on the semantics of spatial data collections that are stored in geographic information systems or spatial databases. Such collections often have diverse database schemas and lack conventions that would make them easily compatible, so that they …


Anywhere, Anytime, Anysize, Any Signal: Scalable Remote Information Sensing And Communication Systems, George Markowsky Jan 2006

Anywhere, Anytime, Anysize, Any Signal: Scalable Remote Information Sensing And Communication Systems, George Markowsky

University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports

Several recent meetings have highlighted the growing interest in the biological, ecological, environmental, and other research communities in the development and deployment of large distributed systems for information collection, aggregation, analysis, simulation, predictive modeling and realtime analysis within their respective disciplines. Likewise, recent events have caused concern and raised interest in the need for similar systems in the context of homeland security. It seems apparent that a structured discussion of the needs for these systems could create opportunities for synergistic efficiencies between the various user communities. To date, however, no such discussions have been held among these differing user communities, …
