Course Description

Introduction

The goal of this Course N Carry Transportation Systems Engineering and Planning Applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) training course is to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the principles of GIS, as well as an introduction to data collection related to road safety and transportation infrastructure, as well as analytical methodologies and techniques using GIS. 

Geographic Information System (GIS) is being actively used by authorities for highways and transport management in many developed countries. This is primarily because of the advantages of declining costs and increased ease of planning, monitoring, and managing complex systems involved in transportation planning and management, accident analysis, and route planning.

The utilisation of Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies and techniques greatly facilitates the process of identifying the most strategic investments to maintain the optimal operation of any country's transport system, as well as capacity increases and operational improvements. The goal of this training programme is to foster critical spatial thinking and spatial decision-making abilities in addition to teaching the technical components of using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). 

The following will be covered in this training course on Transportation Systems Engineering and Planning Applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS):

  • The Basics and Principal Purposes of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) 
  • Databases, Geospatial Information, and Geo-Referencing Methods 
  • Geographic Information System (GIS) and Visualisation Information Request 
  • Modelling and Analysis of Space 
  • Overlay Analysis and Multilayer Mapping 
  • Heat Maps and Analysis of Hotspots 

Goals

Participants in this training course on Transportation Systems Engineering and Planning Applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) will be able to: 

  • Recognise the full range of applications that Geographic Information System (GIS) may provide for transportation research.
  • Determine patterns in traffic operations and safety metrics that will enhance the level of transportation safety. 
  • Find the underlying causes of road accidents and implement workable solutions 
  • Analyse the effectiveness of individual segments, routes, networks, or areas. 
  • Use density estimate heat mapping to identify hot and cold locations. 
  • Perform the intricate spatial analysis needed to design the future transport networks. 
  • Create rich and dynamic mapping applications. 
  • Develop crucial spatial reasoning abilities and build your self-assurance in making spatial decisions.

Training Methodology

The instructor of this Course N Carry training course will use a range of tried-and-true adult learning strategies to present the material, with an emphasis on case studies and best practices. Active engagement, in-class practice cases, vigorous group discussions, multimedia resources, and tabletop exercises are all part of this.
