Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) Papers
- Development of a Decision Support Model Using MapObjects to Study
Transportation Systems (2004)
This paper describes the integration of a general intercity transportation
model using GIS tools. Decision support transportation models that integrate
GIS components provide a rich environment to study complex transportation
phenomena with multiple decision variables. In this paper, we present a
decision support model developed to study the impacts of introducing a novel
mode of transportation called the “Small Aircraft Transportation System
(SATS)”. We use Visual Basic as the integration environment in this model to
deliver a stand-alone final product. The integrated model consists of several
components including: 1) a System Dynamics model to study SATS impacts
and coded in Matlab and converted into Dynamic Link Library (DLL), 2) several
types of socio-economic data sets required in the transportation system
modeling process and stored in MS Access data format, and 3) geographical
representation of data sets used and the analysis using MapObject.
