Abstract
Seamless Integration of GIS and Transportation Modeling Software- MWCOG's Approach
Track: Transportation and Logistics
Author(s): Charlene Howard
This paper explains how the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) Department of Transportation Planning is using the traditional Esri coverage model and workstation version of ArcInfo to improve linkages between its GIS and transportation planning software. Ultimately, this multi-part project will provide MWCOG with a comprehensive spatial database for transportation applications. Most importantly, the master transportation network, used for several transportation planning activities, will be wholly maintained in a GIS environment. Customized menus and tools will allow network users to easily edit networks, select a network by year, and import the selected network into COG's transportation planning software package.
