A process is described that was developed by the New York State Department of Transportation to identify potential areas around the state for location of new weigh-in-motion sites. The procedure uses geographic information system (GIS) technology to synthesize census areawide travel and business data with linear highway system traffic and vehicle classification data from the Department’s computer inventories. The conclusion is that GIS is a powerful tool for synthesizing and displaying diverse data sets for use in solving engineering problems.

The Impact

ABSTRACT Technical and technological progress in the 21st century, especially emerging geographic information system (GIS) technology, offers new and unprecedented opportunities to counteract the impact of crisis situations and emergencies. Computerization and development of GIS enabled the digital visualization of space for interactive analysis of multiple data in the form of models or simulations. Additionally, computerization, which gives rise to a new quality of database management, requires continuous modernization of computer hardware and software. This study examines selected examples of the implications and impact of the GIS commonly used in Poland.

This paper puts forward the composition of geospatial information and its definition. The author designed and implemented the attendance management system based on Micro-cellular and the geographic information system (GIS) technology. The function of the geographic information system (GIS) was achieved by transforming Japan Geographical Survey Institute's Digital Map 2,500 base plate data into G-XML data. The function of location information system was accomplished according to micro-cellular mobile terminal-in the GIS's Real-time positioning and tracks. At last, the attendance management system based on micro-cellular and GIS technology was implemented by comparing the work schedule with the mobile tracks of its related mobile handheld terminals.

Urban Rail

With the construction and development of urban rail transit, Geographic Information System (GIS), a high performance computer based tool is playing a critical role in research and application of the integrated information management. Through the characteristic analysis of the urban rail transit construction situation and operation status, the paper establishes different geographic information data layers including subway lines, stations, construction schedule, quality risk, operating system and emergency resources. Then, it applies the GIS software and service to realize data display, query and analysis with the corresponding data system, knowledge discovery, and algorithm model. Besides, the paper particularly describes the function application cases of GIS technology in many aspects of urban rail transit, which shows that it can improve the management level and safety quality in different stages.
