Advantages to Using a GIS-Based Solution:

• The GIS-based approach gives a very accurate display of infrastructure, business and industry data and their respective attributes by using their respective latitude/longitude coordinates in real space. This provides very precise distance locations.
• Since the system is map-based, the level of detail incorporated into the GIS is extremely high. All attributes are clear and can be used in the site selection process. These attributes can also be used in the planning, design, and construction phases of an accepted site and facility. Intermodal and infrastructure accessibility and requirements, as well as, their interrelationship with goods and services inventory may also be reviewed and evaluated.
• GIS provides a visual environment for site selection. This graphical presentation is a valuable component of the implementation of any decision. All facets of the decision-making process take place in a visual and interactive environment.
• This method of data presentation relates problem formation and solutions in a powerful way. Visually displaying infrastructure, business and industry data, in addition to, regional social and economic data aids in user comprehension. Decision-making can thus be handled effectively.
• The visual environment provides a means of conveying highly technical information in a straightforward and understandable manner.
