Application of Client/Server GIS to Urban Transit Facility Management  Paper Text

Defining Issue: As urban transportation becomes more important than ever due to the rapid growth of economic and social infrastructures, Pusan Urban Transit Authority (PUTA) has constructed underground transportation systems since 1987. PUTA still expands its underground transportation facilities, and realizes that GIS-based urban transit facilities management is very important for efficient controlling of the facilities. Methodology: PUTA set up a client/server GIS facilities management system with ArcInfo and ArcView. All drawings, about 40,000 sheets of A0 size that relate to facilities being built in the ArcStorm database on Sun Enterprises 3000 and PC ArcView on twenty-four PCs, are hooked up with the server, and an application written by Delphi on ArcView controls the facilities management systems as a client application. It handles details about facilities such as railway, tunnel, electricity, signal, communications, and others such as administration boundary, geographic features, drainage, and raster maps. All systems are hooked up on the network, and Oracle RDBMS was used for database management. Software: Basic software for this facility management were ArcInfo and ArcView. The application was written using Delphi, Avenue, and AML. The enterprise GIS concept is adopted for this project, and client/server technology using ArcInfo and ArcView was very efficient.
