Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Geographic Information System (GIS) concepts and technology can be applied in urban public transportation organizations to improve mapping and other applications that require integration of geographic data. A digital street map, particularly TIGER, is a valuable database for integrating geographic data. GIS, in conjunction with Automatic Vehicle Location technology, will aid management in visualizing transit fleet operations. A consistent underlying geographic database is needed to meet visualization requirements of various users.
