A Study on the Road Design Information System by a Pattern Language Method

The approach to intelligent databases, which are comprehensive database systems by managing information techniques including not only existing approaches to database but also knowledge-based systems, expert systems, hypermedia, on-line information retrieval, etc., was applied to construct problem-solving support system for road space design. The system is considered to be useful for:(a) specification of the context of the ground the design was placed, (b) clarification of the subject issues, the targets, effects etc. of the design, (c) identification of problem structure concerning composition and spatial arrangement of physical elements based on the database system in the design.
