* What is GIS-T *Differences between GIS and other Systems *Unique Properties of Geographic
Information
Geographic information systems for transportation (GIS-T) are interconnected hardware, software, data, people, organizations, and storing, analyzing, and communicating particular types of information about the Earth. These particular types of information are transportation systems and geographic regions.

GIS-T
Some applications:
*traffic safety analysis *transportation impact analysis *public transit planning and operations *intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
One of the newer application areas is autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles, or vehicles that run without human control. As an autonomous vehicle, it is capable of sensing its environment and navigating on its own.
*The
major difference between GIS and other database management systems (DBMS) is mainly in the way information is referenced rather than the nature of information handled
*Spatial dependency
*Spatial heterogeneity *
space to show some degree of uniqueness *i.e., it is valuable to consider local geographic context rather than just global generalities
connected linear entities (e.g., roads, rail lines) that are fixed in the continuous reference surface
* All of these three models are useful in transportation * The network model built around the concept of arc
and node plays the key role in this application domain because singleand multi-modal infrastructure networks are vital in enabling and supporting passenger and freight movement. fact, many transportation applications only require a network model to represent data.

*However,
it is worth noting that advanced transportation applications, particularly disaggregate travel demand modelling approaches and intelligent transportation systems (ITS), require representation of complex transportation features that are not wellsupported by the node-arc data model.
extensions to the base network model is not universal and is dependent to the type of the project.
operating, and optimizing transportation systems. * It has opened up new horizons in transportation planning and engineering. * It has developed an essential tool for the most effective use of spatial data. * It provides a means of communication for an interactive understanding between the public and transportation professionals. * Still, this technology is facing a lot of challenges to adjust itself with the complexity of transportation data analyses.
