The training course Geographic Information System (GIS) Applications in Transportation Systems Engineering / Planning is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of Geographic Information System (GIS) and introduce data collection methods and techniques using Geographic Information System for use in transportation infrastructure and road safety analysis.
Geographic information systems are now actively used by authorities in many developed countries for managing highways and transportation, primarily due to the advantages of decreased costs and improved planning, monitoring, and management of complex systems involved in transportation planning and management, accident analysis, and route planning.
The Geographic Information Infrastructure tools and approaches considerably assist in finding the most strategic investments for maintaining the transportation system in any country at peak performance, optimizing operations, and deciding capacity expansions. The goal of this course is to foster critical spatial thinking and spatial decision-making abilities while also covering the technical components of using a geographic information system .

Because supervisory levels are the link between the executive and senior management levels, achieving the organization's objectives, increasing productivity and overall performance of the organization, affects the effectiveness and efficiency of supervisors' performance.
And because of the skills of supervisors in any organization in need of continuous development, and to acquire advanced tools and methods that reflect on the deepening of these skills and activate their role in motivating individuals working, and push them to commit to the goals of the organization.
You need this conference to learn about supervisory skills and advanced methods, to be able to play an effective and supervisory role in your organization.
In every organization, care is taken to manage risks, by seeking to eliminate those that can be removed, and reducing and managing the remainder. Part of this process involves developing robust contracts which apportion risk equitably and include a structure of indemnities with contractors, supported by a comprehensive insurance regime. In addition, it is important that contract personnel understand contractual risks and what insurance can (and cannot) do to remove the financial consequences of such risk; always remembering that insurance only mitigates the effect of risk, it does not make the risk itself go away.
A truth about life is our interdependence. Everything we accomplish within an organization is through the efforts of people working together. In spite of our technological advances, our competitive advantage lies in our ability to work effectively with other people.
This course is designed to provide leaders and professionals with a set of transformational tools and techniques to help them maximize their own and their team’s creative potential in a strategic context. Its starting-point is self-discovery: participants will work on the inside first and then focus outwards to impact on the world of business.
A company plan gives the entire organization a vision and a course to follow. All employees inside a corporation must have distinct objectives and adhere to the organization's direction or mission. This vision can be provided by a strategy, which also keeps people from losing sight of the objectives of their organization.
