! REGIONAL TRANSPORT ANALYSIS, DATA and MODELLING Information

Regional and Urban Transportation can be abstracted as follows:

1.    According to the type of ECONOMIC ACTIVITY:

a.     DEMAND or Market, Load, Service requirement, Needs etc.

b.     SUPPLY or Service consisting of the System, Capacity, Facilities, Crew, Vehicles, Operation, etc.

2.    According to ANALYTICAL & DECISION ACTIVITY:

a.     LOCATION or Mapping, GIS files, Computer Displays

b.     INVENTORIES, DATA, and FORECASTS

c.     MODELS

d.     CONCEPTS, EVALUATIONS, and REPORTS

e.     FEEDBACK

f.      ACTION PLANS, DECISIONS, and ACTIONS
