Commercial Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Technologies Application to Transportation: A Partnership for Advancing Transportation Practice

The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) initiated the Commercial Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Technology Application to Transportation program in 1999 in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in accordance with Section 5113 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century. The joint program is the first program of its type that focuses on transportation application of commercial remote sensing technologies. The Research and Special Programs Administration of the U.S. DOT administers the program. The program focuses on unique and cost-effective application of remote sensing and spatial information technologies for achieving transportation research goals. This brochure outlines significant results emerging from the first program years.
