Availability: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 444 North Capitol Street, NW Abstract: This paper gives a general description of the PC ARC/INFO and TransCAD GISs and the NHPN, HPMS, NBI, and NPC databases. Detailed lists of elements included in the selected geographic information systems' databases are presented in this paper so that potential users can assess the usefulness of these systems to their own applications. Sample plots generated by the selected GISs based on the above-mentioned databases are also presented. TransCAD is a geographic information system used for planning, managing, and analyzing the characteristics and performance of transportation systems and facilities. PC ARC/INFO is a software system that bring sophisticated geographic information, analysis, and mapping capabilities to personal computers.
