This CD-ROM is a resource tool designed to assist state and local transportation planners with implementing Linear Referencing Systems (LRS) in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It provides access to a large collection of published materials in the public domain as well as documents found on the Internet. A resource guide on this CD-ROM provides an overview on the subject with links to detailed papers than specifically address particular topics and issues. The CD-ROM contains more than 100 scanned documents on LRS models, LRS implementation applications, state reference manuals, and state and national research reports. The resource guide also contains an example of a robust implementation of LRS in GIS by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. A discussion of future research and technology directions for implementation of LRS in GIS is included in the resource guide with access to some of the most current literature on these topics. A keyword searchable database is provided for the scanned documents as well as direct links to Internet sites containing more documents on the subject. (A)
