Effective transportation planning requires current, accurate geospatial information about the transportation infrastructure, associated interrelationships between the land use and demographics, and the ways that the land uses and demographics interact with, and use the transportation infrastructure. The increasing need to gather this information across diverse functions, scales, and ownerships has resulted in wider and more efficient use of remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and associated technologies. This guidebook provides information on taking measurements of objects from a distance, or remote sensing, and its uses in transportation planning. The guidebook provides background information on the key concepts of remote sensing, uses of remote sensing in specific transportation planning activities, and steps to integrate imagery-based products of remote sensing into a GIS environment for use by transportation planners. |
