Geographic Information Systems and Intelligent Transport Systems : technologies used to form new communication networks
Joana María Seguí Pons, Maurice Ruiz Pérez · Netcom · 2003
The application of information and communication technologies to the field of transport has facilitated the development of intelligent transport systems that require powerful information systems. Geographic information systems are a highly suitable means of technology for processing information. This article examines the different areas in which GIS-T are used, from planning and management, to fleet control and logistics. New communication networks are emerging somewhere between GIS and ITS, which facilitate travel information, traffic control or assisted navigation, amongst other possible applications.
