TransCAD Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

The most beneficial part of TransCAD is that it seamless integrates with other GIS based software, which makes it so easy to edit networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In order to run the model, we have to run six different algorithms in sequential order Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the most thing I like is the mapping tools

TransCAD has the best and the lowest cost Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think some of the maps should be updating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Algorithms, software architecture, GIS integration, compatibility with TransModeler (the micro-simulation package), graphics, and its programming capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not Applicable. I cannot think of anything that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.
