INTEGRATION OF GIS WITH THE TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MODEL TMODEL 2 AT SASKATCHEWAN DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION

Saskatchewan Department of Highways and Transportation conducted a pilot study in 1989 to assess the benefits of utilizing a GIS to graphically illustrate and query the existing corporate data bases. The success of this pilot study led to the full development and implementation of GIS for the Department. This paper describes the first full scale integration, by the Department, of GIS with another software package, TModel 2. The finished product will be a microcomputer based system capable of generating, distributing and assigning future traffic volumes to the existing or modified highway network. The system also will calculate level of service parameters, and will display input and output data on a digitized base map of the region.
