Accession Number: 00748781

Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: An emerging technology--Internet GIS-- combines the Internet (which allows transportation professionals to request and download information from multiple sources on the Web almost instantly) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) (which is a powerful transportation analysis tool) so that transportation professionals without the resources and expertise to use GIS-T (GIS for transportation) can access, share, and disseminate spatial data. Internet GIS is a network-centric GIS tool that uses the Internet as a primary means of providing access to the functionality of GIS and to the spatial and other data needed for various transportation applications. This article describes some of the features of Internet GIS that make it highly promising for transportation applications; explains the two kinds of Internet GIS (server-side and client-side); discusses the applications of Internet GIS; and concludes with comments on the implications of this new capability.
