Grid-enabled Transportation Routing with Real-time Events: an Open Framework Ying Cao

Transportation routing has been enhanced by theresearch and development in both GeographicInformation System (GIS) and network analysis. Thisbook furthers the advancement by tacklingtransportation routing for an extensive area withreal-time events. An open framework was introducedby: 1) leveraging microscopic transportationsimulation for travel time estimation and prediction;2) incorporating road weather information as anexample of real-time event; 3) identifying theshortest-path in a space-time network; 4) enablingGrid computing in both traffic simulation over largeareas and routing for massive concurrent userrequests; and 5) integrating web-based GIServicesbased upon interoperability approaches. This book is for people who are interested inresearch and developments of cyber-infrastructureapplications, transportation networks and topologyanalyses, distributed geospatial informationprocessing, and geospatial interoperability.
