Waterway Analysis Management System (WAMS) Accomplishments

Geospatial Consulting Group International, LLC (geocgi) has recently completed the Waterway Analysis Management System (WAMS) project for the United States Coast Guard (USCG), and we’re excited to share some of our team’s accomplishments. WAMS consists of four interconnected web applications: Waterway Health, Waterway Performance, Waterway Trends & Analysis, and Waterway Design. We designed, developed, and deployed Module 3: Trends & Analysis, and Module 4: Waterway Design. Modules 1, 2, and 3 are tabular data views and connected microservices, while Module 4, Waterway Design, features an interactive Angular Webmap with integrated custom JavaScript tools and workflows. (Waterway Health is in development by a partner company.)

Figure 1: Landing page of the Waterway Design Module displayed after selecting a waterway. The Waterway Design Module supports the Coast Guard Marine Transportation and System Management Mission, which works to ensures safe, secure, and environmentally sound waterway conditions within the United States. A central pillar of this mission is the Aids to Navigation (ATON) program, which maintains the buoys, lighthouses, and electronic beacons that guide personnel and commercial vessels through national waters. The Coast Guard must ensure each ATON is in its assigned location, inspected for safety and function, transmitting data (for those that have communication functionality) and is suitable for the environmental conditions in which it was placed. Currently, there are nearly 45,000 federal ATON existing in America’s waters. In addition to ATON maintenance, the Coast Guard is responsible for determining if the collective ATON within a waterway are adequately guiding vessels along that river or body of water. That is where Waterway Design comes in: this module operates at the waterway level, allowing Coast Guard stakeholders to visualize where ATON are within a waterway. Nearly all workflows begin with the user selecting a waterway within the reactive central map for analysis. Once a waterway is selected, users can begin one of two workflows: Adding, removing, or repositioning ATON within the waterway, or calculating the coverage of ATON within a waterway by percent of surface area. Geocgi developers used JavaScript within an Angular framework to power the ATON Editing Workflow with a suite of custom tools. After selecting a waterway, users place a new ATON on the map and complete a semi-auto filled webform to populate its attributes. Once the form is submitted, they can continue adding ATON or repositioning and removing existing ATON. All changes are stored in a custom scratchpad, ensuring no updates are written to the USCG ATON database during these design sessions. Once users are satisfied with the number and placement of ATON in a selected waterway, they can run one of the Calculate Coverage tools. Behind the scenes, each ATON is buffered based on its visibility range—daytime, nighttime, or radar reflective beacon distance (where available). The combined buffered area is then compared to the total surface area of the waterway and displayed as a percentage (e.g., “ATON coverage of the Lower Potomac River is X% during daylight”). Users can recalculate coverage after adding, moving, or removing ATON, and instantly see the updated percentage along with the change from the previous result. Experienced mariners may quickly notice a limitation of the Calculate Coverage tool: most navigators focus on the deeper, navigable channel rather than the entire waterway surface. To address this, the Waterway Design Module includes a Channel Coverage tool. Where U.S. Army Corps of Engineers channel framework data are available, this tool performs the same calculation process but focuses only on the channel. It displays the percentage of channel surface area covered by visible ATON during the day and night, as well as coverage provided by remote sensing equipment.

Figure 2: USACE Project Channel with 100% channel coverage results. The default basemap in the Waterway Design Module is the NOAA Electronic Navigation Chart, providing users with a familiar and authoritative reference. As part of the ATON Editing workflow, users must consider key factors such as whether an ATON will be placed in fresh or salt water and the weather conditions it will need to withstand. On the Atlantic coast, for example, tropical storms play a major role in these decisions. To support this analysis, the WAMS team incorporated 80 years of NOAA National Hurricane Center tropical storm trackline data to identify each sector’s 10- and 40-year storms where applicable. These storm intensities display on-screen for each selected waterway, and users can toggle the tracklines on or off. To keep the data accurate and the system future-proof, the team developed an update tool that connects to NOAA’s API, downloads and formats the latest trackline data, and saves the results in an Excel file listing each AOI’s 10- and 40-year storm. Updates will be performed at the end of every other hurricane season to ensure the data remains current.

Figure 3: Hurricane tracklines representing 10-and 40-year storms for a selected waterway. Color changes correlate to the changes in the Saffir-Simpon storm intensity. Amongst the additional data included the Waterway Design module, the team processed and developed vessel traffic density rasters for the largest 40 ports in the US. These raster views create a comprehensive workflow allowing decision makers to compare ATON placement to actual waterway use patterns. The existing government data was low-resolution enough to show vessels sailing into bridges, jetties, and sand-spits, making it unsuitable for navigational planning purposes. Our goal was to create an annual, high-resolution vessel density traffic raster for all commercial vessels, as well as a separate category for each commercial vessel type. (I.e., tankers, tow boats, fishing vessels.) Processing the historic vessel position data was one of the WAMS team’s biggest technical challenges. The dataset was incredibly valuable but massive—just one year of vessel location points across U.S. waters contained over 2 billion records. Early test runs revealed that creating high-resolution vessel density maps would take months, even after upgrading the processing server’s hardware. To solve this, the team consulted with Esri’s GeoAnalytics group, who recommended licensing Esri’s GeoAnalytics Engine, a Big Data solution built to run on Apache Spark. Spark distributes processing loads across clusters, making it ideal for handling such large datasets. The development team successfully deployed a local Spark environment and used it to cluster-process billions of raw AIS vessel points. As a result, the WAMS modules now include raster layers showing both overall commercial traffic density and density by vessel type for the nation’s 40 largest ports. USCG decision-makers are now able to toggle between two years’ datasets, comparing how vessel traffic has changed over time. The traffic density rasters are integrated into WAMS as a whole, allowing for easy comparison between present ATON configurations and the most recent vessel traffic rasters available. In addition, our development team developed the raster imagery at a 20-meter scale, a much higher-resolution product than the current government rasters at 100m resolution.

Figure 4: 2022 tanker traffic within the Port of Los Angeles-Long Beach. The data highlights idle vessels, shown as green circles, as they wait for their turn to offload. Within the Waterway Design Module, users can toggle traffic density rasters on and off, revealing high-resolution insights into real-world vessel traffic patterns. These insights help the Coast Guard distribute ATON resources more efficiently, supporting safer and more effective navigation. The WAMS team has also integrated additional geospatial datasets from federal agencies, including storm surge predictions and environmentally protected areas, to help the Coast Guard design and maintain ATON networks sustainably. Finally, we developed the Trends and Analysis Structure Assessment Report, a highly filterable web table that consolidates maintenance and replacement data for every ATON across U.S. waters. This tool gives Coast Guard decision-makers a clear, centralized view of how many ATON need repair or replacement in the next 1-, 3-, and 5-year budget cycles. All relevant information is displayed in one place with red-highlighted alerts, and users can drill down by geographic Area of Responsibility or by any column in the table for detailed analysis. The WAMS project was delivered on time and on budget, thanks to the team’s Agile development approach, surge staffing, and close collaboration with Coast Guard stakeholders. What began as scattered ideas and datasets just two years ago is now a suite of fully functional web applications equipped with custom maintenance tools designed to future-proof both the applications and their data. The live WAMS modules have already been demonstrated to the international maritime community, and we look forward to continuing to support the Coast Guard in enhancing their waterway management capabilities.

The 2025 race marks the 50^th Marine Corps Marathon – a milestone for an event recognized worldwide for its impeccable organization on an iconic course through the nation’s capital. Known as “The People’s Marathon,” the Marine Corps Marathon is the largest marathon in the world that doesn’t offer prize money, making it a truly unique celebration of perseverance and community. To commemorate and support this historic 50^th milestone, geocgi has expanded the 2025 MCM web application with powerful new features and functionality using Experience Builder. The application now consists of not one, but two pages with separately embedded web maps. The “Runners Map” page displays important race stations (e.g., Water Points, Nutrition Points, Medical Aid Stations, etc.), the Runner’s Village, runner wave loading areas near the start line, Finish Area, Finish Festival, and associated points. The “Spectator and Landmarks Map” page emphasizes key landmarks in the National Capitol Region, optimal spectator viewing locations, and areas restricted to runners only. It also incorporates an interactive elevation profile of the marathon route, directions to important race locations, and detailed pop ups for Hotel points that were configured dynamically using Arcade expressions to deliver relevant and timely information for runners and spectators alike as they plan their race day. Pop ups for Runner and Spectator points include dynamic links to Google Street View images to help users orient themselves on and around the course. Optimized for both large (e.g., desktop), medium (iPad/tablet), and small-screen devices (mobile), the application delivers features and functionality to users at home and those on-the-go. The 2025 application also emphasizes race sponsors by incorporating their logos in point symbology and pop ups, thereby strengthening the collaboration between MCMO and their sponsors. By leveraging the latest Esri tools, geocgi transformed what could have been a static course map into an engaging, user-centric platform that showcases the best of modern geospatial technology. demonstrates how GIS can powerfully integrate with community events, making planning, navigation, and participation more seamless than ever. Geocgi also proudly sponsors the marathon and encourages staff to participate — whether by running, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines — to celebrate USMC values of perseverance, camaraderie, and service. By pairing technical expertise with active community involvement, geocgi demonstrates its commitment to supporting the Marines not only in their operational missions but also in their traditions that build connection and resilience. In addition to the Marine Corps Marathon, geocgi recently supported the MCMO in the 250 for the Corps Virtual Challenge, which celebrated 250 years of excellence of the USMC through a 250-mile virtual race. Geocgi visualized defining moments in USMC history through a series of interactive and engaging StoryMaps that were gradually unlocked as race participants logged miles.

geocgi’s Commitment to the Importance of Voting

At geocgi, we believe that voting is not only a civic responsibility but also a way to engage with the communities where we live and work. The importance of voting cannot be overstated, and we are proud to highlight how our employees are stepping up to ensure a smooth, inclusive, and accessible voting process. One of our own, JC Cooke, has taken on a particularly meaningful role as a precinct chief in Spotsylvania County, ensuring that voters have a positive experience on election day. JC’s passion for politics and community involvement began at an early age: "When I turned 18, I became very passionate about politics and began looking for ways to get involved." This early drive led him to volunteer as an election official, where he now plays a pivotal role in managing the voting process. As a precinct chief, JC’s responsibilities on election day are extensive. He arrives with his team at 5 AM to set up the precinct, ensuring that all equipment and materials are ready for voters by 6 AM. From setting up polling booths to ensuring the integrity of the voting machines, JC and his team work hard to make the process as smooth as possible. "Throughout the day it’s our job to ensure that the voting process continues no matter what" he shared. At geocgi, we know that voting is a cornerstone of democracy, and our employees are encouraged to vote and get involved in the election process. JC believes that volunteering is crucial, stating, "It’s important because without volunteers the elections couldn’t happen!" It’s a reminder that a well-staffed election precinct is vital to ensuring that every vote is counted. Beyond the mechanics of running a polling station, JC highlights a personal connection to the community. Volunteering has allowed him to build relationships with local voters. "It helps you meet more people in your community who you otherwise may have never met." This sense of community engagement is a reflection of geocgi’s values — fostering connections and contributing to the greater good. JC also offers a word of advice to those hesitant about voting or getting involved: "I would encourage them to at least start by looking into the process. Get in touch with your county board of elections and see what they have to say." At geocgi, we know that the future of democracy depends on the active participation of its citizens. We encourage our employees to get involved, whether by voting, volunteering at polling locations, or advocating for changes they wish to see. JC’s journey as a precinct chief is a powerful reminder that every contribution matters — and that the efforts of dedicated individuals help ensure that democracy remains strong. As JC says, "Take the plunge! You’re probably needed more than you know. It’s a very long day, but it’s very rewarding." From all of us at geocgi, we thank those volunteers and election officials who make democracy work. For more information, please contact info@geocgi.com

By 2025 cloud-native platforms will serve as the foundation for more than 95% of new digital workloads. Access to mission critical data will no longer be bound by traditional on-premises datacenters as applications, websites, and systems become more reliant on cloud infrastructure. Cloud infrastructure is highly configurable to meet the organization's exact needs, scale, and business capabilities. Traditional investments in IT hardware and on-premises data centers require constant maintenance, facility space, and detailed disaster recovery and failover procedures. With cloud infrastructure, the overhead to manage your system is a fraction of the effort and cost while saving your organization space and providing peace of mind that your data and systems are secure and redundant.

Geocgi can assist your organization build and secure a new cloud environment or with a modernization and migration transition, leveraging a scalable infrastructure to pay only for what you need. Our certified engineers have experience with hybrid and full cloud implementations, including:

Virtual Private Cloud Configuration
High Availability Configuration
COOP and Disaster Recovery
