Integrating GIS and web technologies with expert systems can provide valuable real-time spatial decision support. Traditional decision support systems (DSS) lack expert knowledge and are mostly PC-based software components. The benefits of the traditional DSS can be further leveraged by embedding expert knowledge and implementing the DSS using web-based technologies. Embedding expert knowledge with the DSS provides intelligent decision support rivaling a human expert, and implementing the intelligent DSS over the web provides many advantages, such as anytime-anywhere access, no distribution costs, ease of use, and centralized data storage. This paper discusses implementing one such architecture for snow removal operations planning that integrates GIS, expert systems, and web technologies.
