Aim of the research presented in this paper is to assist Transport Planners manipulate
spatial information involved in Travel Demand Modelling (TDM) by exploiting the advances
of contemporary Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools. This may be achieved by
establishing a standard data model prototyping the transport entities used in transportation
related activities. Significant amount of information related to Urban Transport Planning
System (UTPS) models could be exchanged with GIS management systems. Identifying
this kind of data exchange may lead to refining the design of existing transportation
data models. In this respect, EMME/2, an interactive-graphic state-of-the-art multimodal
UTPS, being used by numerous transportation authorities worldwide, has been employed
as a reference example, to provide valuable experience toward this direction.
