SuperGIS Desktop 10 is the latest desktop GIS software released by Supergeo Product Team, which has significantly improved the performance and also equips with numerous new features. With new features such as LiDAR Tool and Temporal Slider, users can integrate and display latest data formats with other GIS data, exploring the data in a more detailed way. For a highway authority like DGH, transportation experts can examine the trend of traffic accidents by splitting the data into different periods and displaying with Temporal Slider. After finding the pattern, government officials can improve current road networks to reduce the number of accidents. Furthermore, the SuperGIS Desktop also has an extension called Network Analyst, which can greatly help transportation planning. In the Network Analyst 10, users can apply the origin-destination matrix (O-D matrix) to find the best site for building a new transportation facility.
