In 1991, one of the most important pieces of legislation was signed into law. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) requires traffic and systems management monitoring of pavement, bridges, safety, congestion, public transportation facilities, and intermodal facilities. These systems call for coordinated efforts to collect, manage, analyze, and store transportation-related data. GIS-T (geographic information system for transportation) is one of the tools that will be used extensively in upcoming years to manage the information requirements of ISTEA. GIS, coupled with an integrated server-client-based information system, will become the standard, replacing many existing stand-alone, subgroup level applications. A summary is provided that discusses the development of an integrated GIS-T system, Transportation Planning and Analysis Software (TPAS), developed for the Florida Department of Transportation. TPAS was developed to manage, calculate, and store roadway characteristics to estimate immediate and long-term infrastructure needs. The system calculates roadway level of service, identifies deficiencies, and recommends improvements to meet operating standards, and, finally, calculates costs of the proposed improvement. Deficient segments, as well as road improvements and costs, can then be displayed on GIS maps in an automated fashion. In the past, these calculations were completed by using spreadsheet and manual methods. TPAS combines all of these procedures and develops maps in a fraction of the time. TPAS seamlessly integrates an ArcView GIS application with a knowledge-based expert system programmed in Visual Basic. This application provides an efficient, cost-effective solution for a once tedious and time-consuming task.

Many smaller pipeline operating companies see the benefits of implementing a Geographic Information System (GIS) to organize pipeline data and meet the requirements of 49 CFR 195, but cannot justify the cost of a large-scale AM/FM/GIS system. PPL Interstate Energy Company (PPL IE) is a pipeline company with 84 miles of main that implemented a GIS solution that leverages both existing technology and facility data investments. This paper discusses the process used to acquire landbase data, to organize existing pipeline data from a variety of paper-based and digital sources, and to integrate these data sets. It will also discuss the functionality and benefits of the resultant GIS.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar os passos da construção de um sistema de banco de dados (BD) geo-referenciados com informações geológicas e geomorfológicas da Bacia Sedimentar de Curitiba como base de um Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG). O banco de dados foi preparado através de cartografia geológica, dados de sondagens para poços tubulares profundos, fotografias de afloramentos e tabelas com descrições geológicas de afloramentos na região de Curitiba e arredores. O sistema foi montado inicialmente no Arc/Info ® v. 7.0.3 (Esri 1994) e no ArcView GIS ® v.3.2 (Esri 1999), respectivamente em ambiente Unix-HP ® e Windows ® , e possibilita o acesso automático de níveis de informações, de forma concomitante ou não, através da tela do computador, por meio de várias ferramentas do próprio ArcView GIS ® v.3.2. (Esri 1999) Para a operação do BD, todos os dados que o integram e suas bases cartográficas digitais precisam estar necessariamente geo-referenciados e com topologia criada. A inter-relação entre as informações acessadas permite a construção de outros produtos cartográficos, a partir daquele original, dentro do mesmo ambiente que se está operando. Tanto a entrada de dados quanto sua manipulação em tempo real é possível graças às ferramentas disponíveis dentro do programa, tornando a atualização da base de dados um procedimento bastante simples e, portanto, resguardando a contínua utilidade e otimização do sistema. Os Modelos Digitais de Elevação (MDE) e a topologia de elementos cartográficos, ou não, foram gerados no Arc/Info ® v. 7.0.3 (Esri 1994). O ArcView GIS ® v. 3.2 (Esri 1999) se mostrou interativo com o usuário facilitando o acesso à informação e permitindo que o banco de dados possibilite o processo de tomada de decisão, condição essencial para um sistema de informações automáticas. GEOLOGICAL DATA BANK GEO-REFERENTIATED OF THE SEDIMENTARY CURITIBA BASIN OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) Abstract The aim of this paper is to present a georeferenciated data bank (DB) with geological and geomophological information of the Curitiba Sedimentary Basin as a base to build a Geographic Information System (GIS). The data bank was prepared through geological cartography, databases of surveys for deep water wells, pictures and tables with descriptions of outcrops in the Curitiba municipality and surroundings. The system was set up mainly in Arc/Info ® r. 7.0.3 (Esri 1994) and ArcView GIS ® r.3.2 (Esri 1999), respectively in Unix-HP ® and Windows ® environmental, and it makes the automatic access of the information levels easier, in a concomitant way or not, through the computer screen, by means of the own program tools of the Arc View GIS ® r.3.2 (op. cit.). To the funcionality of the information system, all data that integrate him and its cartographic digital bases need to be necessarily georeferenciated and made it topology. The interrelation between the accessed informations allows the construction of another cartographic products, starting from that original, inside of the same environmental that it is operating. Both the entrance of data and its real time manipulation was possible thanks to the available tools of the program, turning the modernization of the data base a quite simple procedure and, therefore, protecting the continuous usefulness and system optimization. The Digital Terrane Elevation (DTEs) and the topological features were generated in Arc/Info ® r.7.0.3 (op. cit.). The ArcView GIS ® r.3.2 (op. cit.) was shown to be quite interactive, facilitating the access information and permiting the bank data to enable the process of taking of decision, essential condition for an automatic system information.
