German GIS Guide for Spatial Gas Network Decision Support Systems
✔️ 176 pages by Kathrin Kirchner new German edition from 2009

This book shows how GIS tools combine with operations research and data mining to build spatial decision support systems for municipal gas utilities handling leak repairs and maintenance planning.

✅ Explains combining single repairs into larger projects for cost savings
✅ Details prototype software for maintenance method selection and scheduling
✅ Focuses on German municipal utilities using GIS beyond basic data queries

💡 How do spatial decision support systems improve infrastructure maintenance planning? GIS powered systems help utilities analyze leak data and group repair tasks to cut overall costs and downtime. The approach integrates mapping with optimization techniques to pick the best fix methods. It supports strategic decisions on when and how to bundle work across gas networks. Real world examples from German utilities demonstrate measurable savings through better project consolidation.
