  2. MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE CORRIDOR X G.I.S. The continuous and systematic monitoring of any procedure concerning, directly or indirectly, the development of Corridor X (Upgrading, rehabilitation, reconstruction). CHARACTERISTICS OF THE G.I.S. TECHNOLOGY • Monitoring and planning activities • Integrated technology for analysis and spatial study that contributes to the decision making process • Submission of integrated information • Simulation and mapping of scenarios • Solutions to complex problems • Quick and easy map production • Development of direct and effective solutions in an operational and economic way • According to data quality: Quick and to the point decisions

  3. APPLICATION OF G.I.S. TECHNOLOGY IN CORRIDOR X –SPECIAL FEATURES • Sources of data used in data base: • Questionnaire-based survey • On-site visits – expertise • Communication process between the Technical Secretariat and the responsible Authorities * The participants were supplied with the first version of the Data Base (in MS Excel format) during the 3rd meeting of the S.C. and they replied within a month with comments on the information included in the Data Base. • Internet • Digital Background: • Satisfactory level of accuracy for the scope of the T.S. activities • Various analog and digital maps collected by the T.S. • Two special features: • International character of the application (collection, distribution and exchange of information) • “Network” G.I.S.: linear reference unit applied to the study of the infrastructure of the rail and road sections of the Corridor

  4. COMPONENTS OF THE G.I.S. • Hardware • Software • D.B.M.S. • Query tools • Graphical User Interface • People (Users) • Methods of analysis • Data • Improved organization • Integrated information • Dynamic relation between spatial and descriptive data • Analysis by non-experienced users • Standardization of data base structure • Easy updating and exchange of data ADVANDAGES OF THE G.I.S.

  5. DATA MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS • Not very large data volume (at present) • Use of a Data Base Management System (D.B.M.S.): Storing, retrieval, management of all kind of data, including spatial. • An increase of data volume is expected due to the need for: • progress reports, • possibly a new questionnaire survey, and • flows data • Relational (storing as a set of tables) • Entity – Relation Diagrams • Road Data Base • Rail Data Base
