摘要
A prototype spatial decision support system (SDSS) has been designed for contingency planning for emergency evacuations which combines simulation techniques with spatial data handling and display capabilities of a geographical information system (GIS). It links together the topographical support and analysis provided by the GIS-ARC/INFO, with a simulation model designed to simulate the dynamics of an evacuation process in detail. Our aim has been to design a SDSS so that it provides an interactive evacuation simulator with dynamic graphics that allows for experimentation with policies by providing rapid feedback from the simulation. The idea is that emergency planners will be able to use the SDSS to experiment with emergency evacuation plans in order to plan for different contingencies. This paper concentrates on the issues involved in designing an effective integration link interface between the GIS and the simulation model when building a SDSS of this type.
