Transportation Model/GIS Integration Paper Text

This paper describes a method to integrate a transportation demand model and ArcInfo GIS without dependency on network conflation, using dynamic segmentation and well-defined event tables (e.g., bus routes, number of lanes, facility type) to organize highway and transit network data in a way that can readily be processed to create inputs for building a simplified transportation model. Once the model has been run on the simplified network, the output data (e.g., volume, time, speed) can easily be reattached to the geographic road base. This allows for the transportation model data to be analyzed and displayed based on the correct spatial geography.
