Air traffic and transportation

Intended learning outcomes

The main purpose is to give basic theoretical and practical knowledge in geographic information systems (GIS).The course shall also give an introduction to database technology. After the course the student should

understand the relational model and the query language SQL
be familiar with the basic theory within geographic information science
be familiar with several methods used for GIS-analyses
be able to choose the right method to use for analysing different problems
be able to work independently with GIS-software and to present results from GIS-analysis in a clear and well structured report
use GIS for relevant tasks in the air traffic and transportation sector, e.g. aircraft noise analysis.

Course content

Data structures and modelling. Relational databases and query languages, especially SQL. Spatial data bases. Cartography. Data collection for GIS's. Spatial analysis. Applications related to traffic and transportation e.g. aircraft noise management.
