Spatial decision support is an important research area of spatial information science and should be an integrated function offered by GIS (Geographical Information System) software. It has been proved that many spatial problems are semior ill-structured and cannot be solved by traditional GIS that has no domain knowledge support. It is highly desired to include the theory of knowledge managemen...

In this article, a single application is suggested to determine the position of vehicles using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Geographical Position Systems (GPS). The part of the article material included mapping three dimensional coordinates to two dimensional coordinates using UTM or LAMBERT geographical methods, and the algorithm of conversion of GPS information into GIS maps is ...

With the prevalence of computer and development of information technology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have long used for a variety of applications in electrical engineering. GIS are designed to support the analysis, management, manipulation and mapping of spatial data. This paper presents several usages of GIS in power utilities such as automated route selection for the construction o...

Geographical information systems (GIS) and statistical software can enhance their functionality using each other capabilities. This paper describes an environment for coupling the statistical program R and the GIS library TerraLib. The implementation uses and adapts the package aRT being the key aspect the fact that both applications share a database connection which is used for exchanging info...

In [1] we uniquely introduced ultra exponential functions (uxpa) and denednext step of the serial binary operations: addition, multiplication and power.Also, we exhibited the topic of limit summability of real functions in [2,3]. Inthis paper, we study limit summability of the ultra exponential functions andprove some of their properties. Finally, we pose an unsolved problem aboutthem.

This is the preprint version of our paper on Advances in Engineering Software. With several characteristics, such as large scale, diverse predictability and timeliness, the city traffic data falls in the range of definition of Big Data. A Virtual Reality GIS based traffic analysis and visualization system is proposed as a promising and inspiring approach to manage and develop traffic big data. ...

The three-year Municipal Infrastructure Investment Planning (MIIP) project is currently investigating investment planning and strategic asset management. The project proposes using geographic information systems (GIS) as the framework for decision support tools for municipal infrastructure managers, and more specifically, as tools to assist them to prioritize infrastructure maintenance and capi...

Accessibility indices which measure the relative `nearness' or `propinquity' of geographic locations, one to another, are not well-developed functions in proprietary geographic information systems (GIS), notwithstanding their evident usefulness for urban analysis. In this paper, we develop procedures for embedding such measures within desktop GIS, focusing on the measurement of geometric access...
