Today I spent most of the day working on ArcMap. First I started working on the analysis of the selected route, which is almost finished. Then I spent the rest of the day working on the automatization tool. I'm developing this tool using the application model builder which comes with ArcMap. My idea is that this tool will take as an input the .shp file that contains the route that wants to be analyzed and a buffer distance to take into account that different buffer distances maybe required depending on the hazardous material analyzed. The tool will automatically go through all the necessary steps (join tables, intersect layers, buffers...) and it will give the user a table with the population density for each segment of the route. A preliminary scheme of this tool is shown in FIG8.
Tomorrow I plan on working in finishing the tool and also the GIS analysis of my route.

Today:
-Work on presentation 2: Rail Hazardous Material Transportation (to be finished)
-Work with ArcMap to obtain the population density along the route (to be finished)
-Develop a tool to automatize the GIS process (to be finished)
-Literature review on the evaluation and analsyis of crude oil transportation risk
Next day:
-Work on presentation 2: Rail Hazardous Material Transportation
-Work with ArcMap to obtain the population density along the route
-Develop a tool to automatize the GIS process
-Literature review on the evaluation and analsyis of crude oil transportation risk
