| Abstract: | Transportation and air-quality issues are complex, coupled with the dynamic evolution of regulations, trends, and implications. The need for planners and decision makers to access current and expert information on air-quality trends, transportation planning, and applicable legislation to assist them in transportation-related air-quality management encouraged the development of the Transportation-Related Air-Management System (TRAMS). This hypertext, hypermedia system enables planners and decision makers to dynamically retrieve current information at their desktops. Transportation and air-quality information on a wide variety of related topics is organized into a branching hierarchy and presented in a consistently structured hypertext environment, allowing users to direct their own path through the resources integrated in the system design including graphics, glossary terms, crossreferences, original text materials, and expert contact information. |
