crossings table - add MOT culvert id #268

Closed smnorris closed 2 years ago

smnorris commented 2 years ago

Find closest MOT culvert within n metres and add the MoT ID. https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/ministry-of-transportation-mot-culverts/resource/73e5e4f9-5f83-4ace-ad0b-14f6d2710bdd

This is mainly for ownership purposes. If a crossing is potentially matched to an MoT culvert the user can look up more info in the MoT dataset, these columns could be valuable:

CULVERT_TYPE
CULVERT_DIAMETER
CULVERT_MATERIAL
INSTALLATION_DATE
FISH_SENSITIVE_CODE
FISH_PASSAGE_TYPE
GRATE_CODE
FLAP_GRATE_CODE

At the moment I don't see a need to pull this data into the crossings table for modelling passability:

linking CHRIS_CULVERT_ID to the modelled_crossing_id seems like it will have massive benefits for the folks at MoTi and their consultants

Feedback from MoTI consultants agrees - too many MoTI culverts makes it challenging to do an automated matching. Since they are are building their own culvert risk system we don't really need to add this ID to our database (at this point). We can let the MoTI consultants do the join and just use the culverts for background in the field.
