Applying GIS and Spatial Data Technologies to Transportation
http://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/training/course_detail.aspx?num=FHWA-NHI-151039
FHWA developed this training in cooperation with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, to train participants in how to implement transportation planning applications that rely on spatial data technologies. The overall training goal is to prepare participants to evaluate and plan for the implementation of a variety of transportation planning applications that rely on spatial data technologies.
The GIS and Spatial Data Technologies Course includes:
This course describes examples of applications using today's major spatial data technologies and discusses various aspects of the applications such as the level of effort for development, technological challenges, training needs, and evaluation measures. Particular emphasis is placed on crosscutting implementation issues, both technological and organizational. Exercises focus on using spatial data technologies in an environment where data sharing and cooperative agreements are essential components for success. Reflecting National Highway Institute's commitment to learner-centered training, the training offers participants opportunities for discussion and joint problem solving through which they will gain information about the roles and responsibilities of other team members.
