This is to be done via the creation of a Geographic Information System (GIS) based tool. By bringing together information about TxDOT’s on-system roadways’ geographical locations, traffic demands, and capacities, one aggregate database has been established. Using the tools of GIS, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, and VBA programming, a static clickable interface has been constructed. It enables users to access properties for any selected roadway link they desire. Expansion of the product to ArcIMS is ongoing to allow easy access for end users via the internet.application/pdfengGeographic Information SystemTraffic control planningHighway capacitySignalized intersectionTraffic demandCensus roadsPavement Management Information SystemArcIMSTxDOTthesis2010-08-24
