OPTIMAL PIPELINE ROUTING SELECTION USING GIS IN ALASKA

This thesis represents to decide the best pipeline route by using ArcGIS 10.1.Alaska State in the U.S. was chosen for development pipeline route. The models were enhanced pipeline length, geology, land cover, structures to identify the best route. GIS analysis was managed for modelling. The length and cost of each line were compared and the best pipeline was identified through GIS. This thesis targets to provide to generate pipeline with the highest utility to the public and the less damage people and environment. ArcGIS spatial analyst tool was developed to analysis and interpretation of data
