Projects

The Geospatial Innovation Program is working on a wide variety of projects that span a gamut of environmental analysis, criminal data analysis, traffic analysis, historical and cultural analysis, and more. These projects are funded through grants and contracts that cover almost all of the GIP’s expenses. Our partners and clients have historically been a mix of private, public, and governmental organizations that benefit from low-cost, data-driven solutions and analysis. We balance our work on the divide between the professional and the technical worlds, while standing on a foundation of academic excellence.

With more than seven years of experience in providing criminal analysis support to law enforcement partners, some of our most prominent projects for the State of Maryland are: 

  • With the Maryland Vehicle Theft Prevention Council (MVTPC) and associated law enforcement agencies, tracing vehicles stolen and recovered throughout the state and then analyzing the underlying pattern data. ” 
  • With the Maryland Highway Safety Office (MHSO), providing maps of crash and citation data for use in program planning and evaluation, providing training for traffic safety professionals, improving the completeness and accuracy of crash data, and improving the accuracy and accessibility of citation data. 
  • With the State Highway Administration (SHA) creating dashboards and applications to analyze and interpret commercial motor vehicle (CMV) data visually to address traffic safety problems, utilizing QLIK Sense, MSCAN, and other Maryland Department of Transportation tools. 

Other prominent projects include:

  • Delaware Department of Education (DDOE): We support the Delaware Department of Education in spatial data management and analysis. Projects include updating and maintaining a school locator application of all school locations within the state of Delaware, mapping student permanent address locations v. school choice, and additional requests. 
  • Next Generation 911 (NG-911), Kent County: We work with the Kent County EMS, the Town of Chestertown, and Washington College to update campus spatial data and to create a plan for addressing campus roads and buildings. This project helps Kent County emergency services to more efficiently respond to calls on the Washington College campus.
