Resources
Getting Started in Remote Sensing/Transportation
In addition to research, the NCRSTs are engaged in a 3-point program of
outreach:
-
to make research results available to practitioners
-
to make RS-T expertise available to local practitioners
-
to act as a clearinghouse for RS-related queries from local agencies
We are developing a variety of resources to help you get started with remote
sensing in transportation. There are different ways to navigate this
area, depending on your need for information.
-
EasyReads: TechBriefs and Cookbooks.
Easy to read technical introductions and research digests. Findings
presented as step-by-step instructions to the do-it-yourselfer.
-
Bibliography (including web sites).
Annotated bibliography on transportation, GIS and remote sensing, that
serves your needs as well as ours.
-
Glossary and Blurbs. One-liners
and one-pagers on selected topics.
-
Application Tree. Transportation professionals
new to remote sensing might begin here. For each functional area
of DOT activity (e.g. bridges), we point you to relevant areas of research
and resources.
-
FAQ. Focused questions and answers.
-
Curriculum in GIS-T and RS-T.
To support training of GIS/RS professionals.
-
Directory of vendors of data, software/systems
and services in GIS, remote sensing and transportation.
