Abstract:

Map databases and spatial data are part of the information infrastructure in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). In addition, great amounts of data that are collected dynamically in ITS also have a spatial component. To support ITS deployment and operations, spatial data integration and interoperability will be critical because ITS will depend on spatial data integration and interoperability to effectively distribute, integrate and update spatial databases and achieve data access, exchange and communications among distributed system components in real time. In searching for alternatives, this paper will evaluate technologies for interoperability and their utilities for ITS. It will first provide a background on the subject of spatial data interoperability, and identify different types of interoperability in the context of ITS. The purpose is to provide a perspective on the problem that needs to be solved. The paper looks into a set of technologies that have emerged in recent years. These technologies include CORBA, OLE/COM, ODBC, and OGIS. Finally, the paper discusses ways to utilize these existing technologies, and identifies issues that should be targeted for ITS to address.
