Abstract


Paper  Real-Time Control of Traffic Networks Using ArcView Network Analyst
Track: Transportation and Logistics

Real-time information from roadside sensors may be used to update GIS databases dynamically. Distributed pattern recognition (local or networkwide) can be used to transform these updates into messages to automated messaging system boards. The same information can be used to serve "dynamic" maps on the Internet rather than "static" ones. The integration of sensor-generated data into the updating of the network database may be accomplished with scripts written in Avenue. Surrounding issues, such as data communication, current sensor technology, etc., must be incorporated into the design.
