  1. Innovations in GIS: A Key Transport Planning Tool James Colclough- AECOM 07 October 2010

  2. Presentation • What is GIS? • Traditional uses in transport planning • Key applications • Current and future uses

  3. What is GIS? 1/4

  4. 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.

  5. Traditional uses in transport planning 2/4

  6. 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

  7. Key applications 3/4

  8. Data Management & Access • Land use data • Model results • Census data • Address gazetteers • Transport databases • Traffic counts • TrafficMaster/ITIS data • Traffic accidents Presentation Title

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

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

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

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

  13. Future uses 4/4

  14. Web-based data tools

  15. Data Mashups

  16. Technological Integration Presentation Title

  17. Application development • Bespoke planning applications (e.g. accessibility models) • GIS at core of standalone tools- Centro Public Transport Prioritisation Tool
