Download or read book Business Models for Implementing Geospatial Technologies in Transportation Decision making written by Carson D. Poe and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past 30 years, professionals in a variety of fields have increasingly recognized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other geospatial tools as resources that enable better and more efficient decision-making. During this time, state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) have progressively utilized geospatial information and technologies in a variety of activities including planning, decision support, and project management. / In 2005-2006, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Interstate and Border Planning (HEPI), along with several state transportation executives, conducted a series of site visits to transportaiton agencies and GIS vendors to identify the critical information that state DOTs use in making investment decisions in the latest geospatial technologies. Following the scan, FHWA HEPI and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) hosted a one-day workshop to discuss the scan findings. One of the workshop recommendations was to document state DOTs' various business models for implementing geospatial technologies. The outcome would be a resource to share lessons learned and effective practices among state DOTs. / In 2006, the Volpe Center developed case studies for HEPI that described the business models for geospatial technology implementation at six state DOTs. The findings reported there suggested that the early history of implementing GIS at state DOTs was a primary factor determining how GIS activities are currently organizationally arranged and funded; there was no evidence of drastic or unexpected organizational changes for GIS programs. In order to supplement and enhance these and other conclusions, this follow-on report documents the 'GIS business models' for an additional 36 of the Nation's state DOTs. This report summarizes the 'phase two' research. It describes the historical and organizational factors contributing to the development of GIS programs at state DOTs, as well as related effective practices. Given this second phase's considerably larger state DOT sample size, generalizations about the organizational success factors and constraints related to GIS activities at state DOTs are more likely comprehensive."--Background and Purpose.

Download or read book Springer Handbook of Geographic Information written by Wolfgang Kresse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 1132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer science provides a powerful tool that was virtually unknown three generations ago. Some of the classical fields of knowledge are geodesy (surveying), cartography, and geography. Electronics have revolutionized geodetic methods. Cartography has faced the dominance of the computer that results in simplified cartographic products. All three fields make use of basic components such as the Internet and databases. The Springer Handbook of Geographic Information is organized in three parts, Basics, Geographic Information and Applications. Some parts of the basics belong to the larger field of computer science. However, the reader gets a comprehensive view on geographic information because the topics selected from computer science have a close relation to geographic information. The Springer Handbook of Geographic Information is written for scientists at universities and industry as well as advanced and PhD students.
Download or read book Geospatial Information Infrastructure for Transportation Organizations written by and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2004 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As a basis for advancing sound decision making, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is committed to developing high-quality transportation data and information. With the understanding that geospatial data provide an important infrastructure for managing and integrating information necessary for informed decision making, BTS asked the Transportation Research Board to conduct a project to provide recommendations for improving geospatial information infrastructure among and across all modes of transportation. The objectives of this project were to (a) characterize the current practice in geospatial information technologies in transportation organizations; (b) identify problems and opportunities in coordination, communication, and cooperation on geospatial information among transportation modes; (c) suggest mechanisms for the development, management, and coordination of geospatial information technologies throughout USDOT; and (d) recommend approaches for enhancing geospatial information within transportation organizations. The intent is to provide recommendations to transportation agencies, primarily at the federal level but also at the state and local levels, to enhance decision making through rethinking institutional roles and responsibilities; building capacity and commitment; and augmenting the creation, sharing, and use of geospatial information."--Page viii.
Download or read book Space Time Integration in Geography and GIScience written by Mei-Po Kwan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space-time analysis is a rapidly growing research frontier in geography, GIS, and GIScience. Advances in integrated GPS/GIS technologies, the availability of large datasets (over time and space), and increased capacity to manage, integrate, model and visualize complex data in (near) real time, offer the GIS and geography communities extraordinary opportunities to begin to integrate sophisticated space-time analysis and models in the study of complex environmental and social systems, from climate change to infectious disease transmission. This volume specifically focuses on research frontiers, comparative research, and research and application interactions in this field in the US and China, arguably the two most dynamic loci for this work today. The contributions to this book, by top researchers in China and the US, productively highlight the differences and similarities in approaches and directions for space-time analysis in the two countries. In light of the recent rapid progress in GIScience research on space-time integration in both countries, the book’s focus on research frontiers in these two countries will attract great interest in both countries and in other parts of the world as well as among related disciplines. In addition, the book also explores the impact of collaborative research and publications underway in this area between the US and China and will provide an overview of these collaborative efforts and programs. This book will not only be of interest to university-based GIS researchers and students, but also to those interested in this new area of research and applications like researchers and developers in business, internet mapping and GIS and location based services (LBS).
