Security and Environmental Sustainability of Multimodal Transport

Abstract

In this research, we present a pilot study on creating a real time mobile information system for hazmat telegeomonitoring. We illustrate the integration of the various software components and give an object-oriented model for overall system with real time considerations. The system developed integrates a spatial decision support system that incorporates a significant component to give multi-criteria fuzzy routing. We propose also a framework of mobile object modelling on a multi-modal transportation network. The model is represented by spatio-temporal classes with mobility aspects. We also present a mobile query language with a powerful set of predicates. Our approach is based on the comprehensive framework of the data types. The proposed real time mobile information system can represent the core of a new feasible environmental information system that deals with the management of mobile objects and improves real time spatial decision-making.
