This comprehensive overview presents the essential applications of GIS in transportation planning and traffic engineering. It highlights the management of roads and motorways, examining case studies such as metro systems, traffic flow on highways, and public bus transit lines. The discussion includes data sources like floating cars and the importance of zones and population centers for traffic modeling. Special attention is given to integrating GIS with live data and base maps, facilitating smarter urban and regional planning.
