Abstract :
By introducing spatial information technology (SIT), including remote sensing, geographic information system (GIS), satellite navigation system, etc., the principals and methodologies of traffic information collection and management based on SIT were discussed in this paper. The analysis and fusion of all the available information by the support of GIS was described, and the Traffic Information Management System (TIMS) was designed and developed, which has many features such as friendly interface, easy operation and versatile functions. The system can be widely applied to traffic control, vehicle guidance and dispatching, route planning and infrastructure construction.
