Description
The California-Baja California Border Master Plan is a bi-national comprehensive approach to coordinate planning and delivery of projects at land Ports of Entry (POEs) and transportation infrastructure serving those POEs in the California-Baja California region. The California-Baja California Border Master Plan was commissioned by the U.S./Mexico Joint Working Committee to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Secretariat of Infrastructure and Urban Development of Baja California (Secretaría de Desarrollo Urbano del Estado de Baja California or SIDUE) for the California-Baja California border region. The problem faced by the submitting agencies and the project evaluators was streamlining and automating the process of submission and evaluation of the projects. This project addresses the task of developing a highly data driven bilingual website for automating and centralizing the process of collection and evaluation of projects. It also provides the feature of a mapping component to help its users describe the area of the project and to judge the correctness of the location of existing projects on the map. This website is hosted by servers at San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). The backend database used in the development of the project is SQL Server and for the web development of the dynamic pages C# was selected to be the programming language. The project makes use of JavaScript, AJAX, XML, Web Services and the vast, powerful and rapid growing .NET technology. The benefits of consistent programming model, direct support for security, simplified development efforts, easy application development and maintenance and last but not the least it being the client's choice fueled our selection of the .NET framework.
