Overview
Background & policy context:
The coupling of road databases (BDR) and geographical information system (GIS/LIS) is one of the most important problems of road administration which are implementing or intending to implement a GIS and a road database. A study on coupling these systems is absolutely necessary to guarantee:
- road specific data remain under the responsibility of the BDR,
- information exchanges satisfy integrity rules necessary to maintain consistency in time and space of the two systems.
Objectives:
The present research project defines the principles of data sharing between BDR and GIS for MMS requirements.
