Google Imagery Service (TNRIS) ▪ Primary question: Where should the road centerline intersect the PSAP boundary line? Match Points: Framing the Question At Its Simplest, the Intersection of Two Lines NG 9-1-1 Roadway Match Points TNRIS - Google Imagery Accuracy Assessment
▪ Are PSAP boundaries coincident/clean at the roadway? ▪ What PSAP boundaries are present at the road? ▪ What is the Road name? ▪ Are Road Centerlines located near center of roadway? ▪ Which other boundaries are conceptually present at intersection? (County, RPC, ECD)? Additional Match Point Questions What Data Fields Do We Need? NG 9-1-1 Roadway Match Points
Clean - Coincident or Single PSAP boundary b. Gap between PSAP boundaries c. Overlap of PSAP boundaries ▪ For Road centerlines at the PSAP boundaries, two choices: a. Clean - Road Centerline near center of road b. Identified - Point moved to center of road per reference orthorimagery Match Point Category Scenarios What Different Buckets Do We See with PSAPs and Road Centerlines? NG 9-1-1 Roadway Match Points
