Synopsis

This book delves into the application of computer simulation modeling to solve visitor flow issues within a major national park. The author, a pioneer in this field, was tasked with developing a tool to evaluate the necessity of a proposed mass transit system within the Cades Cove Loop Road. This involved the construction of a simulation model that could accurately replicate the complex system of vehicle flow within the popular loop. The book provides a detailed account of the modeling process, from the initial data collection to the verification and refinement of the model. It also includes demonstrations of the model's use in evaluating various management strategies, including the proposed mass transit system. The book is a valuable resource for researchers, planners, and managers interested in applying computer simulation to solve complex problems in the fields of recreation management and transportation planning. It offers a comprehensive understanding of the methodology and techniques involved in developing and using simulation models to optimize the visitor experience in natural resource management settings.
