The Development of Automatic ITS Facility Arrangement System Using Open GIS and A.I S/W

Abstract

This project developed a new application platform software system to support automatically ITS facility's location decision-making system. The system, called PEDS (Platform for displacement Expert Design System), is in harmony with GIS, GPS and Artificial Intelligence Software to make design the position of ITS road facilities, automatically. We define the reference architecture for merging the heterogeneous technology such as Geoserver for open GIS, Postgre for open GIS DataBase and Drools for open expert software. We then implement a prototype model for developing ITS facility's location decision system. Finally, we discuss critical issues related to developing and operating a PEDS in an open source environment.
