comment Help excel table not transferring to Arc correctly!
Wouldn't you be better off is exporting the data as a CSV then in ArcGIS export that file to a DBF? Meanwhile, do a table join by CT_ID for the whole layer and then export the joined layer as its own layer?

comment OpenLayers with a small, discrete set of XYZ tiles
Can you summarize the solution in here as links can break later on. IT'll be worthwhile to add your answer here (summarized from the article perhaps?)

comment Looking for best practice to connect multiple road vector line layers for routing (pgRouting) purposes
@underdark Yes, the layers ar in SHP and PostGIS. The layers complete each other, so in the example of a Bridge, the road layer's last and first vertices on the link will correspond to the bridge begin and end point. Also, the bridge layer has a road_on attribute.

comment Flow mapping visualization using a road layer
Don't snow mobiles have their own trails but they can cross highways at certain locations? I'm just scared that this could be a problem a lot bigger than you anticipated initially. However, I'm not sure if you know this but you can edit your original question to reflect the additional information you provided.

comment Flow mapping visualization using a road layer
Do you also have to do the routing algorithm from city to city? or is it going to be a straight line? or do you know the roads that they will take? How many points do you have to do this for? I'm just curious if you can edit the question and be very detailed about the specifics and requirements, and based on that I can perhaps post an answer. As of yet, it seems some details are missing, and it'll be very crucial to understand what data you have, what you're trying to accomplish, so a detailed / direct answer could be provided

comment Flow mapping visualization using a road layer
Do you have a layer that has the following fields: From, To, and travellers? If not, you might have to build a line layer from your point layer (City nodes) and your text data (Number of travellers). Please clarify!

comment help to code a spatial query that returns the results from a database
I could be wrong, and please feel free to correct me, but I thought google maps didn't support local databases, you had to connect through them either through an IP address or fusion tables?

comment Basic traffic volume map
To add to what @Sunil is saying, you can also do it with Google Earth or a web interface. But we need to know your platform. If you don't have one, then please indicate that as well

comment Open Source solutions for building a Traffic Management System
In terms of open source, I'm not aware of any traffic management open source solution that is "production ready". I would suggest looking at geoserver based solution where you can just implement your own rules. A lot of the traffic management tools require massive customization to suite the client's need and I'm not aware that any current open source applications can achieve that
