Quality of Spatial Data in Command and Control System

Original language description

The current way of management of intervention mobile units activities in a given area cannot work without a well thought way of command and control. Command and control may be generally defined as a system consisting of personal, technical, and legislative components created to provide coordination and commanding of operational units with the aim to complete required goals of an operation. A significant part of command and control is played by the decision-making process, during which an individual or a team chooses the best solution of the all possible ones. Depending on the task, facts about the given task are found, as well as connections with solution of other tasks, factors that influence the given task, and preferences that need to be considered before making the decision. One of the main factors that influence given tasks fulfillment are geographic conditions in the given area. To understand this condition paper maps or digital geographic data are mainly used. Until digital geographic data became widely used, commanders and staff got geographic information about the area of activity first of all from paper maps. Present command and control systems are characterised by the wide usage of communication and information technologies which enables to commanders and staffs to use digital geographic data as a primary source for area of activity evaluation from the geographic point of view. The efficiency of decision-making processes using maps and digital geographic data has always been significantly influenced by their quality. Quality prepared and up-to-date maps and used data enable to get detailed information about the area of activity that is necessary for making optimal decisions. For the needs of decision-making processes, there are maps and digital geographic data published that correspond to the given needs, e.g. units of integrated rescue systems or armed forces, and they are usually produced by state organizations that guarantee its constant quality, reliability and regular updating. For the overall assessment of the quality of digital geographic data, it is possible to use the general view of the utility value of a product based on general principles of multi-criteria analysis. Multi-criteria analysis can be used to evaluate functionality of digital data or to analyse geographic conditions in a given space. The book describes the use of multi-criteria analysis for improving the utility qualities of digital geographic data. Multivariate techniques are quite frequent and complex. They have mathematical basis in multi-criterial analysis for decision-making processes. The strength of digital geographic data together with tools for working with them lies in the possibility to create a spatial geographical analysis in which the influences of geographical environment on the intended or realized activity are evaluated. General approaches of multi-criteria analyse may be used in many areas of decision-making processes. The book shows its applications for digital geographic data and the evaluation of their functionality. The text is also dedicated to the use of multi-criteria analyses for solutions of geo-process models. To illustrate the complexity of the method of solution, an example of modelling of passing through terrain with off-road vehicles was chosen.
