Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global GIS market in the transportation industry to grow at a CAGR of around 12% between 2016 and 2020. The ability of GIS systems to gather, organize, display, and analyze information has made it a necessary tool for the transportation industry. The primary use of GIS in the transportation industry is for traffic management through real-time traffic data based on location and in the construction of new road networks based on traffic requirements. It is aided by techniques such as transport telematics and intelligent transportation systems for solving traffic issues. GIS helps traffic monitoring agencies to map factors like width and structure of the road and ongoing construction works and subsequently manage the traffic. With the growing need for road and rail construction in the transportation sector, the market for GIS will witness massive growth during the forecast period.
