Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have been rapidly developed in the fields that need spatial data and transportation planning is one of these fields. Since transportation data is spatially distributed and need spatial, statistical and network based analysis; GIS applications have contributions to transportation planning. In this study, it is aimed to determine a new public transportation mode and route in the METU campus with the aid of GIS by considering the stations of Çayyolu metro route. Besides, it is also aimed to show that GIS can be a useful tool for constructing transport planning database and exploring, analyzing planning data. Gross settlement area of the campus, covering about 220 hectare land on the southern side of the Ankara ا Eskişehir highway, is the study area of this thesis. First, campus land-use, topography, population characteristics and transportation structure are explored. Then, campus trip demand and pedestrian traffic are estimated. Afterwards, eight public transport route alternatives are proposed with their stops or stations for three different modes as; guided light transit, modern trolleybus and monorail. Proposed routes and stops or stations are evaluated with their physical characteristics and in terms of service areas shaped relative to pedestrian accessibility for determining the suitable public transport service in the METU campus. Consequently, أTrolleybus Bؤ alternative is selected as the first degree suitable public transport service in campus. Besides, أMonorail Bؤ and أTrolleybus Aؤ services are determined as the second degree suitable services in campus.

Discrete tomographic reconstruction methods from the theories of optimization and inverse problems : application in VLSI microchip production Özgür, Osman; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Scientific Computing (2006) Optimization theory is a key technology for inverse problems of reconstruction in science, engineering and economy. Discrete tomography is a modern research field dealing with the reconstruction of finite objects in, e.g., VLSI chip design, where this thesis will focus on. In this work, a framework with its supplementary algorithms and a new problem reformulation are introduced to approximately resolve this NP-hard problem. The framework is modular, so that other reconstruction methods, optimization techniq...
Interactive classification of satellite image content based on query by example Dalay, Oral; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) In our attempt to construct a semantic filter for satellite image content, we have built a software that allows user to indicate a few number of image regions that contains a specific geographical object, such as, a bridge, and to retrieve similar objects on the same satellite image. We are particularly interested in performing a data analysis approach based on user interaction. User can guide the classification procedure by interaction and visual observation of the results. We have applied a two step proce...
Preparation of a geotechnical microzonation model using Geographical Information Systems based on Multicriteria Decision Analysis Kolat, Çağıl; AYDAY, Can; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (2006-11-03) The purpose of this study is to develop a geotechnical microzonation model using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) based on Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). As study area, the Eskisehir downtown area has been chosen. Eskisehir is one of the most rapidly growing cities in central Turkey. The model inputs include slope, flood susceptibility, soil, depth to groundwater table, swelling potential, and liquefaction potential. The weight and rank values are assigned to the layers and to the classes of ...
Development of GIS-based national hydrography dataset, sub-basin boundaries, and water quality/quantity data analysis system for Turkey Girgin, Serkan; Usul, Nurünnisa; Akyürek, Zuhal; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2003) Computerized data visualization and analysis tools, especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS), constitute an important part of today̕s water resources development and management studies. In order to obtain satisfactory results from such tools, accurate and comprehensive hydrography datasets are needed that include both spatial and hydrologic information on surface water resources and watersheds. If present, such datasets may support many applications, such as hydrologic and environmental modeling, imp...
An Embedded spatial statistics toolbox (R techniques) in open source GİS software (uDig) Çavur, Mahmut; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2016) It is widely considered that geographic information systems (GIS) should include more spatial data analysis (SDA) techniques. The issues of which techniques should be included and how statistical analysis can be integrated with GIS are still widely debated. However, the typical software does not include all geospatial techniques. In this respect, this thesis focuses on the means to develop a framework which implements R spatial statistical techniques in the uDig GIS so that GIS and spatial statistical analy...
