| The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Spatial Information
Management is ideally suited to a wide range of areas within the transport
industry. Analysis of survey data, demand patterns, accessibility
planning for schools, hospitals or retail developments are just some
examples of ways in which GIS can be powerfully utilised.
GIS has the unique ability to unlock and display spatial data patterns
which can provide valuable management information.
Jacobs Consultancy has a wealth of experience in the use of GIS
and Spatial Information Management as the following examples show:
- Accessibility modelling for TfL's T2025 project
- TfL 5-year investment plan
- Access to hospitals and GP surgeries by public transport
- Analysis of location of TfL ticket retailers
- TfL station footprint mapping (access to rail stations by postcode
and mode)
- Analysis of access to public transport for people with mobility
impairment
- TfL West London Tram - analysis of survey data
- TfL borough profiles database (analysis of socio-demographic
Information)
Jacobs Consultancy has significant experience in the field of GIS
and recognise that it is a powerful tool which can provide significant
added value to a range of business decisions. The ability to rapidly
integrate and analyse complex data sets such as census and other
survey data, regional health & crime statistics, transport accessibility
together with a wealth of boundary and locational data makes GIS
an indispensable tool.
