The guidebook provides background information on the key concepts of remote sensing, uses of remote sensing in specific transportation planning activities, and steps to integrate imagery-based products of remote sensing into a geographic information system. The guidebook is designed to assist a range of transportation planners-from those with little prior knowledge of remote sensing and GIS technologies to those with several years of practical, hands-on experience in the use of the data. The guidebook is organized to present overview information on remote sensing followed by specific applications of imagery uses in transportation planning.
