Abstract
Enhancing Transit Planning and Decision-Making via GIS Technology
Track: Transportation and Logistics
Author(s): Jakob Helmboldt, Robert Hodder
GIS technology is helping to integrate decision making at the GRTC Transit System. This paper examines the development and implementation of GIS technology in a midsized transit agency. The paper highlights how GIS and GPS capabilities allow for new perspectives on the planning process for transit applications and the analytical tools that such technology provides. This paper looks at how GIS has changed and/or enhanced the planning process for amenity enhancements, resource allocation decisions, route analysis, demographic-based decision making, project management tasks, and customer service improvements.
