Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate applicability of geographical information system (GIS) tools in assessing performance of the transportation systems which integrate spatial and GIS parameters and indicators.
Design/methodology/approach
In this context, performance measures have been objectively related to the strategic goals and objectives identified by policy makers in particular areas.
Findings
Results suggest that as a result of on the characteristics of transportation system, further understanding and considerations have been achieved regarding the performance of the investigated transportation systems and the needed transport polices in the study areas.
Originality/value
The integrating of spatial data with the conventional data to assess performance of the transportation system.
