In the last few years computer graphics has become an important analytic tool. This tool exceeds the individual capabilities of both rapid computing and graphic illustrations in providing insightful perspectives and understanding of planning data. While the field of computer graphics has been rapidly developing as a general business aid, transportation professionals have been developing interactive computer graphic programs designed for specialized modeling functions. The use of existing software packages to supplement transportation planning and programming has lagged. Instances in which current planning and programming techniques can be enhanced by integrating existing software graphics packages with transportation models and functions are described. The tailoring of existing software packages for use by transportation planners who are inexperienced in system analysis is also discussed.
