Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to describe methods employing GIS-T which can provide the capability to perform environmental hazards analysis and incident management. These methods are subsequently applied in several case studies involving highway operations within the State of California to illustrate their implementation. The paper concludes with a discussion of how the GIS-T approach to incident management may be extended to address dynamic management in an IVHS environment.
