Geographic information systems (GIS)
Many current policy problems are of unprecedented complexity and scale, requiring modern geographic information systems (GIS) to play an important role in their assessment. Extending far beyond data capture, storage, and cartography, contemporary GIS allows clients to explore big questions with modern computing by collecting, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. RSG’s GIS scientists and statisticians support our core consulting services in utilizing both commercial and RSG-built software tools for spatial complexities such as: environmental impact assessments, evacuation planning, traffic engineering, multi-modal trip planning, inventory routing, site selection, regional and natural resource inventories.
