GIS-based simulation system for wartime military highway transportation

In wartime, many uncertain factors influence highway transportation, so the simulation analysis of the wartime military transport gradually becomes a research hotspot. In recent years, the development of the computer and GIS technology brings many new methods for the military highway transportation. In this paper, several key technologies to establish the road topology structure are discussed, and an algorithm for finding the shortest path for war-time military highway transportation based on MapX is presented. Finally, an example is used to illustrate the procedure of finding the shortest path on digital map.
