The freeway emergency management is an important way to response the emergencies timely and to reduce the losses of personnel and property. In this paper, the freeway emergency management is made as a research object to analyze the insufficient of the existing freeway emergency management and explain the freeway emergency management systems function and data management, then by the GIS platform in the treatment of emergency, proposes the freeway emergency management system based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Finally, by using the concrete example in the freeway command, the feasibility and the validity of the system are justified.

In this chapter, we present the Web-based carpooling system ORISS, which was initially developed by a student project group at University of Oldenburg. It is currently being deployed at Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg with support of the DBU (Federal German Foundation for the Environment). We describe the role of carpools in traffic, particularly in commuter traffic, and show perspectives of an increased usage of carpools. A significant impact on the eco-balance of the university can be expected. We explain how Internet technologies and geographic information systems can be used for the arrangement of carpools, and show advantages over traditional methods of carpooling. The concrete architecture of ORISS and the algorithms used are outlined. We conclude the chapter by describing the circumstances of deployment and propose possible future extensions of the system.

Database Management System

The chapter presents the geographic information systems. A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system that allows various sources to gather and organize, manage, analyze and combine, develop, and present geographically located information contributing in particular to the management from space. A geographic information system is also a database management system for entering, storing, retrieving, querying, analyzing, and displaying localized data. It is a set of data located in space, structured so that it can conveniently extract syntheses useful to the decision.

Goals And Objectives

The article is devoted to the issue of using open geographic information systems in training of the students majoring in «Computer Sciences» particularly in the framework of «Geographic information systems» discipline. The objectives, the task and the place of "Geographic information systems" discipline in the system of training the students of IT specialties have been determined. The analysis of curricula of several domestic higher education institutions that provide training in computer sciences has shown the prevailing orientation of using the proprietary geoinformation systems and technologies in the educational process. In the authors’ opinion, it sufficiently narrows the didactic potential of the «Geographic information systems» discipline reducing the level of its information saturation. It is proposed to use open geo-information systems in the learning process, which will create conditions for more qualitative and productive students’ understanding of creation, operation and implementation of geo-information systems to address real-world applied issues. A comparative analysis of the most worldwide open-source desktop geographic information systems has been conducted in order to identify their potential for the use of training. The directions of using open geo-information systems from the point of view of organizational process as well as from the perspective of training efficiency are described. The advantages and disadvantages of leveraging open geographic information systems, namely: QGIS, GRASS GIS, Whitebox GAT, Saga GIS, gvSiG, ILWIS, uDIG, MapWindow GIS for the teaching of the «Geographic Information Systems» discipline have been determined. The authors recommend to use such open geographic information systems as uDIG, QGIS, Whitebox GAT in the teaching of the university discipline at the start of educational courses; the choice of geographic information systems for senior students is limited solely to the goals and objectives set by the university teachers to future professionals in computer sciences.

RESUMO Um sistema gerenciador de banco de dados pode possuir uma extensão de um banco de dados voltada para o armazenamento e recuperação de metadados baseados em objetos abstratos. O objetivo deste trabalho é alcançar um entendimento melhor dos requisitos básicos para um gerenciador de metadados. operar satisfatoriamente, além de testar ao máximo um modelo de armazenamento avaliando o seu desempenho, diante dos diversos tipos de dados geográficos existentes. O trabalho aponta a necessidade de se conhecer melhor o desempenho de sistemas já desenvolvidos, ou em desenvolvimento, com objetivos de gerenciar metadados geográficos digitais. Palavras-chave: Sistemas de Informação Geográfica, Geoprocessamento, Geografia, Bancos de Dados, Computação.ABSTRACT Database management systems can be design with an extended database in order to store and retrieve metadata based on abstract objects. The target of this paper is a better understanding of basic requirements to this database management system operates satisfactorily, above all to test at best a model to store, analysing your performance, in front of several types of existing geographic data. The aim of this paper is to show some needs to know developed systems performance, or in developing, which purpose is digital geographic metadata management. Keywords: Geographic Information Systems, Geoprocessing, Geography, Databases, Computation.
