TransCAD is the first and only Geographic Information System (GIS) designed specifically for use by transportation professionals to store, display, manage, and analyze transportation data. TransCAD combines GIS and transportation modeling capabilities in a single integrated platform, providing capabilities that are unmatched by any other package. TransCAD can be used for all modes of transportation, at any scale or level of detail. TransCAD provides:
TransCAD has applications for all types of transportation data and for all modes of transportation, and is ideal for building transportation information and decision support systems. TransCAD runs on readily-available hardware under Microsoft Windows and embraces virtually all desktop computing standards. This has two important benefits:
Transportation networks are specialized data structures that govern flow over a network. Networks are stored in a highly-efficient way, enabling TransCAD to solve routing problems very quickly. Networks can include detailed characteristics such as:
Matrices hold data such as distance, travel times, and origin-destination flows that are essential for many transportation applications. TransCAD provides functions for creating and manipulating matrices, and tools for spatial analysis and advanced visualization of matrix data. This combination lets you see and understand transportation flows and network characteristics in new and different ways.
Routes indicate paths taken by trucks, rail, cars, buses, or individuals traveling from place to place. TransCAD includes tools to create, display, edit, and manipulate routes, and unique display technology for mapping routes in a clear and compelling fashion. You can organize a set of related routes into a single route system layer, and include route attributes, stop locations, and vehicle schedules.
TransCAD allows you to identify the location of transportation features as a distance from a fixed point along a route. TransCAD can display and analyze these data sets without conversion, and includes dynamic segmentation functions to merge and analyze multiple linear-referenced data sets. This makes TransCAD a natural choice for:
