Geographical Information Systems Level 1 text 24pt Arial –Level 2 bullet 20pt Arial Level 1 text 24pt Arial –Level 2 bullet 20pt Arial GIS is a collection of computer hardware, software, and geographic data for capturing, managing, analysing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.

Traditional uses in transport planning 2/4

Traditional uses in transport planning Basic mapping for presentational purposes, usually within reports Some analytical tools used, but have not always utilised the full capability of GIS Data management using simple file structures

Key applications 3/4

Data Management & Access Transport databases Traffic counts TrafficMaster/ITIS data Traffic accidents October 4, 2015Presentation TitlePage 8 Land use data Model results Census data Address gazetteers

Accessibility Planning ACCESSION Highway models built within a GIS Pedestrian/cycling models that consider the impact of gradient.

Route Monitoring Vehicle speeds, congestion hotspots, and journey times Bus patronage assessments- linkage with socio- economic data Freight analysis

Traffic Modelling Data preparation Analysis Visualisation and presentation Strategic model development- e.g.DIAMOND

Aviation Impact assessments for strategic planning Map-based visualisation Online access to GIS tools Scaleable solutions
