INTEGRATION OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND MODELS FOR TRANSPORT PLANNING AND ANALYSIS

This paper deals with some different methods of integrating traffic assignment models with available commercial GIS packages for transport planning purposes. The principles and the applicability of the various approaches will be assessed and discussed in particular reference to the PC ARC/INFO package. It details two ways by which the various flow-control rules can be simulated in PC ARC/INFO to implement the all-or-nothing, the incremental and equilibrium traffic assignment models. The merits and demerits of these two methods are discussed and compared using case studies. The comparison include the time taken and for that matter the cost of running the system, ease of usage and the nature and quality of the final outputs. The paper concludes with a set of guidelines as to what approach to adopt and under what conditions.
