Title: GETTING THERE FROM HERE - A PRIMER ON TOPOLOGY FOR TRANSPORTATION
Accession Number: 00636511
Record Type: Component
Availability: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 444 North Capitol Street, NW Abstract: The advent of GIS technology has spawned applications for transportation in which topological modeling plays a key role. Civil engineers and other transportation specialists have an intuitive feel for the concepts of topology, but few have had the opportunity for a more detailed exposure to the subject. This paper examines the intriguing background of topology as a discipline, and looks at its application to the problems encountered in managing the transportation infrastructure. Examples from the evolution of computer modeling for topology are reviewed, from simple models for specific network analysis situations, to a contemporary and sophisticated general purpose model prepared for solution of a variety of transportation problems.
