2
Objective


  •    To understand the potential hazards in the environment that school kids are exposed to as they travel to and from school.
3
LandScan USA
4
Creating a GIS

  • ArcView GIS – software used to create a GIS
  • GIS links location to information (such as people to addresses, buildings to parcels, or streets within a network)
  • Layers information
5
Methodology
  • Collect Data
6
Methodology
7
Methodology
8
Methodology


  • Apply Data to a Model to Create Simulation


9
Expected Results
  • High-resolution population distribution model for U.S metropolitan areas that will simulate school bus routes behavior with exact times and distances.
