TRB’s Transportation Research Circular E-C108: Geospatial Information Technologies for Asset Management is the proceedings of an October 30-31, 2005, peer exchange held in Kansas City, Missouri.  The peer exchange focused on moving spatial technology applications to the next level by managing change, data integration, and communication.  Participants at the exchange identified research to address three areas of interest: temporal issues, symbology, and data and visualization models. The roles of national organizations in sharing best practices and in promoting standards and open data architectures were also explored.
