8. URBAN TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
Traffic management in a city is a completed task involving traffic signals;
work on roads, accidents, parking, cars crossing railroad tracks and pedestrians.
The objective is to enable a reasonable flow of tragic, especially during rush hours
and at accident sites. Many decisions are involved in traffic management, and
many models have been created to support these decisions. GIS have been used to
support such decisions. The situation becomes even more complex when a large
number of conflicting goals are postulated by different groups ranging from
environmentalists to legal regulations enforcement agencies. For this reason, it seems logical to
use an intelligent DSS as proposed in the figure provided beneath. The figure indicates
the proposed DSS architecture. The main modules include resource optimization,
modeling and simulation, and evaluation, every with its separate data base and
model base. In addition, there are separate knowledge bases. The interaction
ranging from the user and the global database takes place through decision making
process using models whose task to refine the decision context, scenarios,
objectives, main actors, and project under consideration.
Questions:
a) Why is it necessary to use a DSS in this case?
b) Why is it necessary to include knowledge bases?
c) Why are there various data bases, knowledge bases and model bases?
d) How can GIS be incorporated in to such a system?
