AMIS: Development and Application of a GIS/Multicriteria Corridor Evaluation Methodology

نویسنده

  • Keiron Bailey
چکیده

This paper describes the design and evolution of a GIS-based corridor route planning methodology called Analytic Minimum Impedance Surface (AMIS). A local State Highway Agency (SHA) requested an analytic methodology that would facilitate choice of a route corridor for a section of a proposed Interstate highway connector in the southeastern U.S. The SHA’s specification demanded a robust, quantitative methodology that would both provide comparative information about pre-selected corridors and/or aid in the selection of corridors based on user-defined path inputs or endpoint location specifications. Additionally, the methodology was required to structure and incorporate useful input from a range of stakeholders including SHA employees from various divisions with separate but necessary remits, such as Design and Environmental, and other transportation professionals from the public and private sectors.
