Abstract
This communication shows a procedure aimed at assisting in the assessment of the landscape impact caused by new lineal infrastructure services, such as motorways. The computer simulation has demanded the idealisation of the phenomenon to be graphically represented, its theoretical model and the functional analysis of the computational tool that can aid in finding a solution. The core of the problem is that there is a non finite set of landscapes to be considered (and analysed); however, according to the model proposed, if some suitable Computer Graphics libraries are used, it is possible to automatically produce a reduced catalogue of realistic images simulating, each of them, the effect that the new infrastructure will cause on the environment, just at the sites where the landscape results to be more vulnerable.
