"Transcad, a software for transportation planning in GIS environment"
5/5
What do you like best about TransCAD?

What I like most about Transcad is the ease of loading information and how intuitive the software is, especially for users who have knowledge of CAD and vector GIS. It is handled with simple processes for obtaining the products linked to the analysis of networks and saturation of the transport network. I have been using Transcad frequently for 15 years in urban mobility research in public transport in Latin American cities and it offers an excellent solution, its inclusion and implementation in monitoring projects is simple. The basic requirements of the software allow it to be deployed on basic, inexpensive or medium performance equipment, the license cost is affordable for small companies, universities and low income research groups. This software allows to deploy cartographic bases generated in other software, its level of compatibility and interoperability of formats has increased with the new versions, adapting to the information exchange environment of today's world, offers integration opportunities, the resulting vectors can be sent to other software for visualization of geolocated results.

What do you dislike about TransCAD?

If you want to test the demo version before purchasing the license you should test it in a short period of time, sometimes the offered time is not enough. From my point of view it is necessary to implement improvements in the options to visualize wepmaps images in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transcad most powerful vector GIS software"
5/5
What do you like best about TransCAD?

Although aimed at transportation Transcad excels as a GIS. So powerful is its data structure that one can use matrix operations in the industry standard matrix model. None of the GIS software are capable of matrix modeling --- the foundation of mathematical modeling where vectors are involved ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TransCAD?

That it doesn't have a version decoupled from transportation planning and engineering (so that it can be sold as a standalone gis) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool for Travel Demand Forecast"
5/5
What do you like best about TransCAD?

This is a very powerful software for its purpose, you can get down to small details. I attended the TransCAD Training in Newton, MA., and it helped me a great deal in getting to know many capabilities this software has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TransCAD?

Perhaps more active technical support would be nice. I ran into issues where I did not realize I had to go through different steps before being able to run a certain command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
