jathank Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 GIS (ArcGIS, TransCAD, etc) are WIDELY being used in detecting/solving/evaluating traffic congestion in urban area. The most common use included estimating demand as part of the travel demand modeling process(4-step model, activity based model), evulating level of service (LOS), and many many. These transportation analyses are highly technical requiring YEARS of transportation researching. After all, gis is only a tool. What is important is your theoretical knowledge of transportation analysis and practical understanding/implication of congestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
