In fact, the concerns here are with major extensions of analysis and modelling which reflect new themes in geographical thinking that are resulting from changes in our perceptions of city systems. In this collection of papers, however, the authors use the term ‘‘geospatial’’ to ground their systems of interest geographical conceptions of cities and regions, but they also show how many of the advances over the last 40 years are now part of the background knowledge that constitutes this field. Moreover, the focus has become more explicitly geographical although the term spatial still has a wider usage for many of the statistics and models that form the arsenal of techniques in this area are applicable to spatial systems other than the obvious geographies – such as ecologies, climatic regimes, and even astronomies. In the intervening years, spatial analysis has broadened to embrace both inductive and deductive approaches, often combining both in different mixes for the variety of problems to which it is now applied. Here the focus was on translating prior theory into forms for generating testable predictions whose outcomes could be compared with observations about some system or phenomenon of interest. In parallel but using very different techniques came the development of a more deductive style of analysis based on modelling and thence simulation.
The perspective taken on such analytical thinking was founded on induction, the search for pattern in data with a view to suggesting appropriate hypotheses which could subsequently be tested. Early applications of spatial correlation tended to reflect geographical patterns expressed as points.
The concept of spatial auto- correlation took pride of place, mirroring concerns in time-series analysis about similar kinds of dependence known to distort the standard probability theory used to derive appropriate statistics.

On the basis of the data obtained from the survey, TransCAD software was used in the estimation of The OD matrix to predict the background traffic, and then superimposed the traffic volume to obtain the traffic assignment result. After determining the study area, the traffic flow of each intersection within the scope of the study was counted, and the specific conditions of the roads involved were investigated. This article first determined the basic parameters of the traffic impact assessment. It aims to test the interaction degree of various traffic and discuss whether the new contradictions and the negative effect of traffic are brought. Traffic impact assessment is to evaluate the potential effects of a particular development on the traffic network in the affected area. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing
