A method for representing an event in a display of a project planning analysis computer system, said method comprising:

• representing on said display a scaled map of a region;
• and
• displaying on said display an indication of said event;
• wherein said indication designates a position in said display, said position corresponding to a location of said event.

A system for electronically identifying a simulated operating characteristic in a model of a commodity transport network, said model configured to simulate a flow of said commodity through said network, said system comprising:

• an electronic display device configured to display a scaled map of a region;
• a user input device configured to receive flow information corresponding to a user-selected object location displayed on said map;
• and,
• a processor configured to use said flow information to identify said operating characteristic.

A system for representing an event in a display of a project planning analysis computer system, said system comprising:

• an electronic display device configured to display a scaled map of a region;
• at least one data storage device;
• and
• a processor configured to retrieve from said at least one storage device a time-referenced data record and a geographically-referenced data object, said data object identified with said data record;
• wherein:
• said display device is configured to display an indication of said event;
• and
• said indication designates a position in said display corresponding to a location of said event.
