Abstract:

Proposed research on the adaptation of geographic information systems for transportation (GIS-T) is described. Recognizing both the considerable potential of GIS-T and some barriers to its most effective use, the proposed research would develop a design and implementation plan based upon past experience, current efforts, and projections of future technological developments. Data collection, which would provide the basis for description of an idealized GIS-T framework, is described. The authors' current thinking concerning the framework, final design, and implementation plan is presented. A tentative outline for a management guide is included and potential applications of GIS-T are discussed.
