Day 20: June 28, 2013

Today, I spent most of the day working on the outline of the PowerPoint modules of the final project. I think having a clear written description of the topic and objective of each module is going to make the process of developing the presentation faster. In addition, having a well-thought outline will prevent me from missing any important point and it will help me to estructure the different modules properly.

After finishing the outline, I started to work on the first module: Introduction to Rail Transportation. Finally at the end of the day, I got the required files to work in ArcMap ready so that on Monday I can start working on the calculation of the population density along the route.

Today:

-Create an outline of the different "udemy" modules                             (done)
-Start to work on the "udemy" ppt (module 1 introduction)                     (to be finished)
-Determine the risk model to be used in the case study                          (to be finished)

-Literature review on Railroad Hazmat Transportation                           (to be finished)

Next day:
-Work on the "udemy" ppt (module 1 introduction)

-Obtain the "practical" route using PC*Miler software

-Draw the route in ArcMap
-Determine the risk model to be used in the case study
-Literature review on Railroad Hazmat Transportation
