Abstract

This paper is intended to illustrate the impacts of geographic information systems in the planning of transport services, having the Transport for London as the precise case study. The study entailed an identification of GIS features, which support the planning of transport services. These features were studied in line with the current challenges faced by TfL, and were practically recommended as a means of tackling the problems. As a means of recognising bottlenecks, likely to be encountered in the future, an integration of GIS into travel demand analysis should be done (Alterkawi in GBER J 1(2):38−46 [2]). Both qualitative and quantitative methodologies are used as a means of collecting data useful to the research area. It was found that TfL is already in use of GIS, but to a minimal extent, the organisation is open to recommendations in this regard.
