Research on an Emergency Management System for Dangerous Goods Transportation Based on ArcGIS

The management of dangerous goods transportation is essential for reducing accidents and ensuring transportation safety. Few integration studies have specified management both in normal and emergent situations, therefore, an emergency management system for dangerous goods transportation was constructed based on ArcGIS. Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server were adopted as the development platform and database, respectively. An information map of dangerous goods transportation enterprises was portrayed by ArcGIS. ArcGIS Engine combined with the C# language was utilized for secondary development and emergency management system resulting in both geographical coordinates and enterprise location. This system could present key information of enterprises from multiple perspectives. The shortest paths and best rescue strategies under emergency were further investigated via data mining. Finally, data of Guizhou province were applied. This research would directly manage dangerous goods transportation in an intuitive way, so as to provide decision making strategies for an enterprise manager.
