摘要: This paper discusses the development of a Web-based Intelligent Spatial Decision Support system that helps efficiently plan snow removal operations. The is designed to integrate Web and geospatial analytical techniques for asset management, routing procedures weather information assist effective procedures. includes knowledge from experts Blackhawk County in Iowa cities Cedar Falls Waterloo, Iowa. It manages various resources by providing expert advice complex decision making efficient routing, optimal resource allocation, while monitoring live information. has been developed as facilitate ubiquitous access ease use.
