Decision Support Systems in Transportation

This chapter describes specialized transportation – focused computer-based Decision Support Systems (DSS-s). The definition and classification of transportation – oriented DSS-s are presented and specific features of up-to-date DSS-s applied in transportation are characterized. Major categories of decision problems, including operational, tactical and strategic ones, solved by transportation – oriented DSS-s are presented. Current research trends in designing and developing DSS-s for transportation are discussed. Principal methodologies facilitating the decision making processes supported by transportation-focused DSS-s as well as current information technologies applied in those systems are reported. The chapter includes a review of 43 DSS-s applied by different transportation sectors, such as: road, urban, air, rail and seaborne transportation.
