Design of a traffic accident management system (TAMS), for the greek national highway system, using GIS technology

摘要

A GIS based Management System for Traffic Accidents, is being presented, with the main emphasis on the Data Base Design. The System functions and the overall Architecture have been approached at a first stage, providing an indication of what such a system might be. The system is appropriate for the General Secretariat of Public Works, its Regional Branches and other Authorities which have to do with road networks. The benefits of such a system extend on operations, management, planning and monitoring. What is really needed is maturation and determination from the decision makers to employ a GIS base Traffic Accident Management System. A system that will also be quite useful for other functions of the same Ministry as well..
