THE TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGE FOR TEMPORAL GIS
Many transportation applications such as Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS), emergency management systems (EMS), vehicle navigation systems, managing hazardous material, fleet control systems and aviation control systems are potential users of GIS. This paper highlights similarities and differences in what transportation systems demand from a temporal GIS, and discusses the sampling phenomena in these applications and its relation to spatial data granularity. It seems that an increased level of system complexity implies an increased sampling rate and an increased level of detail for spatial data. This paper also presents an example of a GIS-based waterway navigation system for inland navigation and interaction with other transportation modes. Emphasis is placed on what would be needed from a temporal GIS to be effectively used in typical transportation systems.
