HJW TO MAP AUTO RACING CIRCUIT IN ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Oakland, California, November 1, 2005 – HJW GeoSpatial (HJW), Inc., has been selected to perform aerial mapping of an auto racing circuit that includes part of the Albert Whitted Airport in St. Petersburg, FL. This circuit was recently used by the Indy Racing League for the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

HJW will compile 1”= 20’ scale mapping and 1’ contours from aerial photography taken at a photo scale of 1”= 200’. HJW’s client, Sportvision, will use the mapping data for the purpose of enhancing video broadcast of the races.

In 2002, under the same client, HJW was contracted to map 25 NASCAR race tracks around the country under a tight timeline. Relying on our network of aerial photo firms to collect the necessary large scale photography, HJW coordinated the project from beginning to end. This included the generation of all flight planning materials, composition of specifications, and overall management of the subcontractors’ activities. As a result, the project was delivered within the scheduled time. By utilizing real-time GPS systems in their cars, NASCAR used HJW’s racetrack mapping as a foundation for their real-time graphic displays as well as subsequent spatial analysis.
