Component

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become an integral component of the information technology utilized and depended on by the transportation industry. The public is demanding improved service and safety from the transportation agencies serving them and at the same time is unwilling to provide funds through taxes to satisfy these demands. So the agencies are exploring the value that a GIS-T can bring to their organizations in performing their mission under these constraints. GIS-Ts are being effectively utilized to: Provide decision support for making quality decisions on maintaining the transportation infrastructure; design efficient routes for maintenance operations and serving the riders of transit systems; manage traffic and incidents so greater use of the existing infrastructure is achieved while safety is improved; provide current information throughout the infrastructure lifecycle to the entire enterprise; and, develop multi-year improvement plans that take into account existing roadway characteristics and conditions and accident record information. Examples of these uses are presented and discussed in this paper.
