Customization of ArcView2 for Transportation Analysis

ArcView 2 has allowed transportation users to harness the sophistication of GIS for many different applications, due to its consistant windowing user interface and simplified methods for displaying and analyzing data. The ability to customize the ArcView user interface has allowed complicated transportation analysis tasks to be performed comparatively simply. Such customizations mean that users relatively new to ArcView 2 can quickly start analyzing data, and those users familiar with ArcView 2 can perform more sophisticated data analyses easier than with other GIS systems. This presentation will highlight the interfaces developed for three transportation projects:

• OCTA Transit System Analysis Model (TSAM) interface
• SCAG data interface, including transportation project data
• Caltrans Intermodal Transportation Management System data and modeling interface

This presentation will explore design and customization issues using demonstrations from the above examples, with particular focus on data aggregation, user interface design, and transportation data display methods.
