GIS Technologies For The Transportation Industry

GIS Technologies For The Transportation Industry

Edited by Hilary Perkins, AICP, GISP

An in-depth review of collecting, managing, analyzing, and distributing transportation-related geo-spatial data.

GIS-T can be used to help manage transportation-related infrastructure, logistical analysis, fleet management, and many other tasks.  Transportation professionals can integrate GIS as a decision support tool for applications such as network planning, vehicle routing, inventory tracking, and route planning and analysis.  From transit planning, to coordinated regional roadway planning and roadway conditions monitoring... GIS-T applications can help.

This 300+ page compendium represents a selection of papers from recent journals, conference proceedings, and a variety of other sources. The papers have been collected and organized to emphasize the variety and depth of research related to the interdependent technologies of collecting, managing, analyzing, and distribution of transportation-related geo-spatial data.

The papers selected for this compendium look at the basics of GIS-T, management and data issues, modeling applications, and new technologies and programs designed to improve GIS-T data and services delivery.
