USING GIS IN DENMARK FOR TRAFFIC PLANNING AND DECISION SUPPORT
This paper presents current efforts at the Technical University of Denmark for developing concepts for a Geographic Information System for the whole traffic planning process. Such a system (GIS) will consist of a five step model for collection of data, determination of alternate solutions, estimation of future traffic-flows, impact analyses and selection of a solution. Furthermore, the system will contain procedures for evaluation and quality control of data and results. Such an integrated GIS system will not only ease the specific work, but also gather and strengthen the process of traffic planning. The paper deals mainly with conceptual problems. The theoretical discussions, however, are supplemented by practical examples of traffic models, models for impact analyses and models for data management and air quality control, which were implemented in GIS and tested on several size problems in Denmark. The final part of the paper outlines the promising perspective of future work with GIS.
