GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR TRANSPORTATION IN PERSPECTIVE

In the late 1980s, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) began to be widely used for the first time in transportation research and management. Due to the specific requirements of transportation applications and of the rather late adoption of GIS in transport, research has been directed toward enhancing existing GIS approaches to enable the full range of capabilities needed in transportation research and management. This paper places the concept of transportation GIS in the broader perspective of research in GIS and Geographic Information Science. The focus is on the requirements specific to the transport application domain of this emerging technology as well as core research challenges.
