Abstract
Integrating GIS into a Traffic Data Management System
Track: Transportation and Logistics
Author(s): Ann Hollifield, David Dubauskas
This paper presents the COTRIS system that is used to track traffic collisions, traffic volumes, and road conditions in Strathcona County, Alberta, Canada. It was developed through a joint partnership between the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Strathcona County. This paper will show how COTRIS was designed to build "smart" data sets that are explicitly linked to a GIS street network file. The result is that every intersection and road arc segment can be queried to determine traffic collisions, volumes, or road conditions at that location. This paper will present the development process from problem identification to implementation.
