Description

In this paper we explore the potential benefits of concepts such as visual interactive modelling and simulation to devise and implement a coopera-tive network editor embedded in a collaborative environment for transport analysis. Traditional approaches lack adequate means to foster integrated analy-ses of transport systems either because they are strict in terms of purpose or be-cause they do not allow multiple users to dynamically interact on the same de-scription of a model. The use of a common geographical data model of the ap-plication domain promotes the means for different experts to interact seamlessly in a collaborative environment.
