Abstract :
This paper describes a prototype development of a new system for the integration of real-time traffic data within a GIS. Various functions of traffic monitoring systems are improved in terms of graphic capabilities in particular through the temporal visualisations of traffic conditions within an urban network. Traffic data are integrated and aggregated on a real-time basis. Complementary abstraction levels are used for both the spatial and temporal dimensions. Visualisations and animation tasks are developed using either spatial or thematical views
