[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source GIS and Transportation (T M)

[Milo van der Linden]

That's great!

1. There is an open source database calles postgresql that had a module 
called postgis to store spatial data
2. postgresql has another "add on" calle pgrouting which enhances the 
postgis database with routing
3. There is a open source desktop GIS called qGIS
4. You can create webbased solutions with openlayers

I am lead developer for a dispatch-web- GIS (911 or 112 as it is called 
in the Netherlands) where we use this combination to show moving 
vehicles and do dynamic dispatching. For us this was all possible with a 
complete open source chain of products.

Kind regards,

Milo van der Linden
