GIS has emerged as the optimal technology to manage an overwhelming amount of transportation data that is location based and geographically referenced involving a lifecycle of planning, design, construction followed by operation and maintenance where spatial data is central to each of these phases. GPS is of great use for collecting transportation data by help of surveying, mapping, navigating and tracking/ routing the transport routes. Fleet Management, Display of Network Attributes, Routing Analyses, Roadway Alignment, Location/ Allocation, Planning/ Modelling are some of the areas in transportation where GIS is applicable.

Course Structure
The modules are designed to ensure that the participants from the transportation sector acquire the basic skills of GIS and GPS. This technology will enable them to analyse and present a spectrum of data and its interpretation. This in-turn will help towards sustainable and feasible solutions with the implementation of GIS and GPS technology in their logistic management. The acquisition of GIS and GPS knowledge would enable the decision-makers and implementers to strengthen their innovative and management capabilities through a holistic approach to a problem. The modules provided are:

• Introduction to the Spatial Technologies
• Basics of GIS and GPS
• Basics of Remote Sensing and Aerial Photography
• Spatial Data and Its Availability
• Different type of data available, which can be used for effective decision making
• Implementing GIS
• How GIS and GPS can be implemented in transportation
• GIS and GPS Resources on Internet
• What are the different sites on the internet, related to GIS and GPS in Transportation
• Case Studies on applications of GIS and GPS with respect to Transportation
• Hands on Training (GIS)
• Half-a-day Hands-on training on one of the GIS software
