- Abstract:
This paper describes a research and development effort on a GIS-based pipeline planning system (GIS-based PPS). Research was first conducted to identify the aspects of pipeline planning and pipeline network design that could benefit from a computer assisted approach, and the recent advancements in information technology. This paper describes a cohesive computer environment that integrates the hydraulic analysis and geographic information processing with a graphic user interface (GUI), in order to improve the effectiveness of pipeline design functions. An interactive system prototype was implemented and is currently being applied in real-world pipeline network planning and design for municipal and industrial water conveyance.
