State of Israel

Abstract

The Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics (ICBS) collects and publishes data on traffic volume and road accidents with casualties on non-urban roads. Through the course of 2012, the ICBS GIS sector initiated new ways to present transportation data on non-urban roads – maps on a national scale, showing specific related topics. Throughout the process the databases were reviewed and adapted to enable mapping, resulting in a series of maps describing the geospatial aspects of transportation information. New methods for analyzing data for mapping purposes were introduced and implemented, setting primacy for other possible projects. Key Categories National Mapping, State and Local Government, Transportation.
