A Decision Support System for the Operation of Joint-Use Parking
A prototype decision support system (DSS) developed for streamlining the operation of a joint-use parking program is discussed. The DSS involves a combined usage of geographic information...
GIS Mapping of Earthquake Ground Shaking in San Francisco, California
Severe earthquakes of the last decade in Mexico, Armenia, and the United States have reemphasized the importance of local geologic site conditions in estimating damage and consequent losses....
Mapping Structural Damage to Monetary Damage
Earthquake damage estimation/prediction is still an area which requires expertise and judgment of the experts in the field. Making the predictions/estimates more accurate is an area of...
Structural Character of the Ghost Dance Fault, Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Detailed structural mapping of an area that straddles the southern part of the Ghost Dance Fault has revealed the presence of several additional subparallel to anastomosing faults. These...
Summary of Revised Potentiometric-Surface Map for Yucca Mountain and Vicinity, Nevada
The revised map for the potentiometric surface of the uppermost saturated zone in Tertiary volcanic rocks at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is based mainly on 1988 water levels. Refinement of...
Knowledge Mapping for Facility Scope Modeling
This paper demonstrated how knowledge mapping can be applied to develop standard scope templates for facility scope management. We first develop several examples to illustrate this idea....
Tutorial: Fuzzy Expert Systems
This extended abstract presents a brief introduction to a tutorial on fuzzy expert systems. The precepts of set theory and classical predicate logic are briefly reviewed to provide a foundation...
Reducing Ambiguity in Qualitative Reasoning
Qualitative reasoning derives the behavior of a physical system using a representation of the fundamental principles for the domain. In qualitative reasoning parameters are mapped into...
AM or GIS for Managing Infrastructure
The two approaches to managing infrastructure are discussed in this paper: Automated Mapping (AM) and Geographic Information System (GIS) It is very important to recognize their similarities...
Guidelines for Digital Environmental Sensitivity Index Maps
New national and international requirements for oil spill planning and response capabilities include identification and mapping of fish and wildlife resources and oil-sensitive habitats....
Method for Understanding the Characteristics of Coastal Zones from Historical and Geographical Viewpoints
Through this model investigation of the Miura Peninsula, it was found that collection of various kinds of coastal zone geographical information in the format of a CZCT is useful for understanding...
An Advanced Photogrammetric System as a Metric Information Collection Tool in Coastal Management
The advanced photogrammetric information collection system described in this paper consists of two subsystems: the data acquisition or the photographic subsystem, and the date mensuration...
Application of Acoustic Hydrosurvey Technology to the Mapping of Eelgrass (
Acoustic hydrosurvey technology provides an efficient and accurate means of surveying the distribution of submerged aquatic vegetation under some circumstances. The San Francisco District,...
Evaluation of Airborne Video Imagery for Distinguishing Intertidal Oyster Reefs
We evaluated the effectiveness of airborne video imagery in distinguishing and mapping oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reefs in Aransas Bay on the southern Texas gulf coast. Imagery obtained...
Atlas of Present Tidal Marshlands, San Francisco Bay, California
An atlas of 26 maps (including index) is described showing existing tidal marshlands of the San Francisco Bay estuarine complex. This work is based upon a prior delineation and acreage...
Historical Atlas of Tidal Creeks, San Francisco Bay, California
Historic widths and depths of 69 major tidal creeks in San Francisco Bay were studied from maps dated from 1852 to the 1980's. Survey maps by the U.S. Coast Survey (and successors, U.S....
