TransCAD Transportation Planning

What is TransCAD Transportation Planning?

TransCAD Transportation Planning Software is the first and only Geographic Information System (GIS) designed specifically for the use of transportation professionals to store, display, manage and analyze transportation data. TransCAD combines GIS and transport modeling capabilities into a single integrated platform, providing features unmatched by any other package. TransCAD can be used for all modes of transport, at any scale or level of detail. TransCAD provides:

• A powerful GIS engine with special extensions for transport;
• Mapping, visualization and analysis tools designed for transport applications;
• Application modules for routing, forecasting travel demand, public transportation, logistics, site location and territory management;
• TransCAD has applications for all types of transport data and for all modes of transport, and is ideal for building transport information and decision support systems. TransCAD runs on hardware readily available in Microsoft Windows and embraces virtually all desktop computing standards. This has two important benefits:
• You can purchase and install TransCAD at a much lower cost than any other integrated GIS and transport modeling solution;
• You don't need to create custom applications or complicated data exchange modules to perform transport analysis with GIS data;

TransCAD Transportation Planning - A powerful GIS for Transportation

TransCAD Transportation Planning is a state-of-the-art GIS that you can use to create and customize maps, create and maintain geographic datasets, and perform many different types of spatial analysis. TransCAD includes sophisticated GIS features such as polygon overlay, buffering, and geocoding, and has an open system architecture that supports data sharing over large area and local networks.

Full integration with GIS:

TransCAD Transportation Planning is the only software package that fully integrates GIS with demand modeling and logistics functionality. This makes it possible for models to be much more accurate and efficient. For example, network distances and travel times are based on the actual form of the road network and the correct representation of road interchanges. In addition, with networks, you can specify complex road attributes such as truck exclusions, intersection delays, one-way streets, and construction zones. In addition, data preparation is greatly facilitated, and database and visualization resources capture errors before they cause problems.

In TransCAD Transportation Planning, different modeling equations can be easily derived and applied to different geographic subareas. Similarly, TransCAD brings new and much-needed resources to measure geographic accessibility. The GIS approach also provides a graphical solution that is easily understood. Users can transmit highly technical information to the non-practitioner in a very direct and understandable way.

TransCAD extends the traditional GIS data model:

To include transport data objects, such as transport networks, arrays, route systems, and linear reference data. These extensions make TransCAD the best data management and analysis tool for working with transport data. You can use GIS functions to prepare, visualize, analyze, and present your work, and use application modules to solve routings, logistics, and other transportation issues more easily and efficiently than with any other product. Networks and arrays can be of virtually unlimited size.

networks:

Transport networks are specialized data structures that govern flow over a network. Networks are stored in a highly efficient manner, allowing TransCAD Transportation Planning to resolve routing problems very quickly. Networks can include detailed features such as:

• Turn over delays or restrictions;
• Upper steps, lower passages and one-way links;
• Intersection and join attributes;
• Intermodal or interconnected terminals, transfer points and delay functions;
• Zonade centrode connectors;
• Classification of links and performance functions;
• Transfer access, output and transfer links;

Arrays:

Arrays hold data such as distance, travel times, and source-destination flows that are essential for many transport applications. TransCAD provides functions for creating and manipulating arrays and tools for spatial analysis and advanced visualization of matrix data. This combination allows you to see and understand transport flows and network characteristics in new and different ways.

Routes and route systems:

Routes indicate paths of trucks, trains, cars, buses or individuals traveling from one place to another. TransCAD includes tools to create, view, edit, and manipulate routes, and unique display technology to map routes clearly and attractively. You can organize a set of related routes into a single route system layer and include attributes of routes, stop locations, and vehicle times.

Linear reference:

TransCAD allows you to identify the location of transport resources as a distance from a fixed point along a route. TransCAD can view and analyze these datasets without conversion and includes dynamic segmentation functions to merge and analyze multiple linear reference datasets. This makes TransCAD a natural choice for:

• Facilities infrastructure and operations data
• Accident sites
• Boardwalk or rail condition ratings
• Transit flows and passenger transport data
• Facility alignments
• Capital project data
