Abstract
This application framework will provide Caltrans staff and partners the ability to easily collect information on roadside features and document their findings in a web-based database that can be shared within Caltrans, as well as externally. The “one-click” application allows users to simply point at a roadside feature, and snap a photo, and this information will automatically be sent to the image server for processing. Additional annotations can be added (such as an animal species), which will provide the necessary verification steps for a complete and permanent record. These data are a critical first step to mitigating impacts to drivers and animals from collisions.
