Transportation applications and geospatial information are fused into geographic information systems, yet there lacks an up to date reference on how to effectively integrate geospatial data to into today intermodal, multimodal transportation network. Geographic Information Systems for Multimodal Transportation: Methods, Models, Applications examines the basic concepts and applications of Geographic Information Systems for Transportation. It discuss the unique characteristics of each transportation mode-- highway, railway, waterway, and airway-as well as the combined intermodal transportation network. The book shows how GIS generates vehicle routes and shorted paths, develops transportation demand models, analyzes spatial data, and how three-dimensional modelling is applied to the intermodal transportation. Real-world case studies from diverse situations Step-by-steps insights using data to deliver effective outputs for all stakeholders Models and practices for using GIS techniques to solve intermodal transportation problems Learnings tools including chapter objectives, discussion questions, and glossary INDICE: Part I.
