Abstract A Geographic Information System for Transportation (GIS-T) can be a powerful tool to integrate traffic data with other data and help analyze results for transportation decision-making (e.g., program, traffic, or safety management). For successful GIS implementation, an organization must define a location reference system (LRS). The LRS manages and integrates an organization's formal location methods (e.g., maps, global positioning systems (GPS), mileposts). Without a proper LRS design, the GIS can create islands of data that are not integrated as part of an organization's main workflows and master data resources. This presentation will explain the different location methods necessary to the LRS, how these methods are structured within an LRS, and how traffic management staff are part of the LRS.
