- Collect historical and geographic data about the Roman Empire
- Digitize and input data into GIS system
- Apply network analysis to model travel routes
- Build an interactive interface for users
- Output results as maps and route simulations
Critical Steps
Data Integration
- Combines historical sources (Roman itineraries) with geographic data
- Ensures accuracy and consistency across datasets
- Link to tools/data: GIS + historical databases
Route Modeling
- Uses algorithms to calculate travel time and cost
- Accounts for variables like season, terrain, and transportation method
- Link to tools/data: Network analysis software + GIS
