69A3551747107National Transportation Library (NTL) Curation Note: As this dataset is preserved in a repository outside U.S. DOT control, as allowed by the U.S. DOT's Public Access Plan (https://doi.org/10.21949/1503647) Section 7.4.2 Data, the NTL staff has performed NO additional curation actions on this dataset. The current level of dataset documentation is the responsibility of the dataset creator. NTL staff last accessed this dataset at its repository URL on 2022-11-11. If, in the future, you have trouble accessing this dataset at the host repository, please email [email protected] describing your problem. NTL staff will do its best to assist you at that time.In the first year of this project, the research team was able to develop a good understanding of how floods impact travel times and roads in Iowa. The analysis allows the team to understand what areas will be more or less accessible after floods, which can help in making decisions for establishing evacuation centers and routing people outside the flood zone. The team developed cyber tools and interfaces to recommend new routes in a flooding situation and used this tool to understand the impact of floods. The total size of the described zip file is 67.9 MB. The following file types are standard for GIS mapping software: CPG, CSF, DBF, KML, PRJ, QPJ, SBN, SBX, SGML, SHP, LOCK, SHX, CSF, CPG, LYR, MXD, FDBINDEXES, GDBTABLE, GDBTABLX, ATX, SPX. Because the files pertain to map layers and images, they are best viewed using the Kingdom: Seismic and Geological Interpretation software that the team used or with any open source 2D and 3D mapping software. XML files are a markup language file that holds data. They can be opened using open source programs such as Notepad or any text editor
