Overview

'Pathway Map Management' provides the GIS functionality necessary to support pathway map data (e.g., pathway geometry, including locations of any special (e.g., bike) lanes, curbs, elevators, escalators, doorways, curb cutouts, and other relevant features) creation and management. It provides an operator interface that supports management of the pathway map data and rendering of the maps under operator control with providing of the pathway map information to traveler devices.

This functional object is included in the "Map Update System" physical object.

This functional object is included in the following service packages:

SU04: Map Management

This functional object is mapped to the following Functional View PSpecs:
