This paper describes an application built by the NAFTA Intermodal Transportation Institute at Dowling College. The NAFTA Institute develops and analyzes transportation impacts of trade between the NAFTA countries of Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This paper discusses the development of this application together with design issues and trade-off analysis. The final application design is presented including the MS Access database, VBA, and SQL application code and ArcView Avenue scripts. The paper describes how GIS can be combined with other data processing systems to build integrated applications.
