Jason Bartling
My name is Jason Bartling, and I live in San Marcos, TX. I'm a GIS major at Texas State University.
It's great to finally be graduating this December! Some things I enjoy are movies, music, and books.
In my spare time I've been trying to polish up on my Python programming skills and my drone piloting ability.

I am a graduating senior GIS major. This is my first time coding but I enjoyed the difficult lessons and look forward to the final capstone project. I enjoy hiking and camping having recently visited Zion NP in Utah and look forward to
an upcoming trip to Big Bend. The drone pictured was used in a UAS mapping project with Dr. Jensen.

Currently I am a Graduate Student working toward my Masters of Geography at Texas State University. I graduated from Texas State with a bachelors in GIS and a minor in Computer Science in 2017. My areas of interest are Remote
Sensing/GIS, Geovisualisation, and Physical Geography. Like my team members I also operate sUAS’s for both mapping and as a hobby.
Austin Traffic Incidents
A project to map and visualize traffic incidents in
Austin, TX
Austin Traffic Incidents is a web interface for displaying
historic traffic incidents with multiple temporal scales, a query
function to search by incident type, a geocoder to search by an
address, and a heat map showing the areas of greatest concentration
of incidents. On initial load the application displays active
incidents grouped by predefined classes; Crash, Hazard, and Advisory.
These classes give a general idea of incident severity
which helps give the user a quick summary of incident information for
the city. The UI provides an area to access the specific functions of
the application. First is the Legend tab; here a legend is
provided which updates as the user interacts with the data.
Second is the Search tab; here the user queries the data by
indicating a date range of previous incidents as related to the date
accessing, selecting 5 incident types for visualizing, selecting how
to display the results, and finally executes by clicking submit.
Lastly is the Locate tab; here the user selects a buffer
radius and inputs an address, results are a buffer
containing incidents within the user selected range symbolized by
predefined classes. Users are also provided with an option to
generate a chart or table for detailed information about the area
specified.
