Spatial Entities

A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographic information science (GIS science) to refer to the academic discipline that studies geographic information systems and is a large domain within the broader academic discipline of geoinformatics. GIS can provide the airport management staff with visual pavement information and powerful analysis tool. Meanwhile, the spatial information managed by GIS can ensure the accumulation of valid attribute data of airport. Based on the principle and general implementation process of GIS and the characteristics of airport pavement management, this paper describes the implementation process of GIS in Airport planning and design. To organize the spatial entities effectively, some layers are set according to the characteristics of spatial entities. The spatial database is established, and then the function design of the GIS software is presented including map exploring, map locating, spatial query, rendering style of map and output of map. Finally, in this paper, an overview of locating airports using GIS studied.

Production Areas

Guizhou province is the only mountain agricultural province without plain supporting in China. The province stable food production areas are mainly distributed in the mountains with a small number of relatively flat, concentrated areas. Geographic information system (GIS) is used for input, storage, query, analysis and display of geographic data computer system. It is a new technology in the 1960s, which has very powerful spatial analysis ability and has been widely used in the field of urban planning and economic development.

Translation Systems

Location translation allows the use of multiple spatial referencing methods within a geographic information system (GIS). Most GIS users are familiar with planar or spherical coordinates expressed as (x, y) pairs of numbers whose values reflect the map projection used. Coordinates are characterized as unique physical locations on the earth’s surface. Transportation professionals have added many methods of referencing data that occur along lines. Linear referencing systems generally reflect a measure of distance from a known point. Common linear referencing methods are route–milepoint and route–reference post–offset. Street (postal) address systems also fall into the category of linear references. Linear referencing methods do not uniquely define locations on the earth’s surface without additional information about the location of the line (or road) on the earth’s surface. Although many of the off-the-shelf GIS systems allow conversion among a wide variety of planar or spherical referencing systems, few accommodate linear referencing systems, and none are capable of translating among linear referencing systems or between planar or spherical and linear systems. Some of the issues that arise in the development of location translation systems are discussed. A description of the data model and database requirements of the system designed for the Utah Department of Transportation is included. This location translation system was developed to facilitate crash reporting in urban areas, although there are numerous applications within transportation agencies.

Lake City

Over the past 3 years, a major effort has been made toward making a pavement management system (PMS) functional in Salt Lake City, Utah. As part of this effort, a geographic information system (GIS) was developed to enhance the existing PMS. The GIS-based PMS (G-PMS) developed for Salt Lake City is presented. G-PMS was written in Map-Basic, the programming language of MapInfo, to provide pavement engineers at Salt Lake City with customized menus and pavement management functions. The G-PMS reads in the unified crack indexes based on the digital image processing algorithm, recommends the most appropriate maintenance strategies, and displays those strategies on a digital map. It also provides the functions to report estimated costs for each maintenance activity and conduct financial planning. The design and function of G-PMS are discussed in detail. G-PMS is being implemented for the public works department of Salt Lake City.
