High resolution hydrodynamic surveys produce output data of such
large quantity that many applications for engineering decisions are
being lost.
HyPAS is a tool designed to remediate that problem as well
as improve current applications of such data.
HyPAS
- Imports data and maintains an organized database storing all of
the resulting data from high resolution hydrodynamic surveys.
- Provides interactive visualization tools for engineers,
scientists, and technical staff to maintain, analyze, query,
manipulate, and display data without an extensive learning curve.
- Eliminates the need for numerous plots by allowing the engineer
or scientist to perform the analysis graphically before finalizing in
hard copy format.
HyPAS for ArcView currently provides three analysis tools
for Velocity Data
- Contouring velocity data in planview.
- Plotting vector magnitude and direction in planview.
- Creating cross-sections of velocity data.
HyPAS for ArcView provides three additional analysis
tools...
- Importing and displaying digital photography for project
management enhancement
- Importing and Analyzing Time Series Data
- Importing and Analyzing Grain Size Soil Samples

Possible future enhancements to HyPAS may include...
- Complete conversion to PC-based ArcView GIS.
- Add functionality to convert acoustic backscatter intensity data
from ADCP to sediment concentration data for analysis.
- Add additional importing/exporting capabilities.
- Add statistical analysis tools.
- Add math functions to alllow for comparing multiple data types
such as bathymetry, shoreline position, material properties, and any
type of scalar quantity.
HyPAS Summary
- Provides the capability to maintain, display, analyze, query,
manipulate, and display high resolution hydrodynamic Acoustic Doppler
Current Profiler (ADCP) data, bathymetry, and any scalar data type.
- Importing/exporting capabilities to other software packages and
file formats.
- It is a fully expandable toolbox for engineers and scientists to
explore their data in order to make more informed decisions.
