The Scope of TRB AED40 Geographic Information Science Committee
includes all aspects of the use of geospatially enabled technology and processes to collect, extract, and analyze spatial data, to enable efficient transportation-related decision making, information sharing, data transformation and data exchange. The committee is interested in both research into and applications of this information and its associated information systems, commonly referred to as Geographic Information Systems in Transportation (GIS-T). The committee will provide a focal point for and promote coordination of GIS-T activities within the TRB committee structure.
Specifically, this committee intends to achieve the following Objectives
To expand the use of spatial data analysis tools and capabilities in new and innovative ways to address emerging challenges.
To capture, manage, and analyze a variety of geospatially referenced data for transportation asset inventory and performance analysis
To address the complexities in the integration of geospatial data with differing precision, accuracies and formats.
To conduct transportation system performance monitoring using innovative spatial data mining and analysis techniques
Focus Areas
