Abstract: Computers are improving the science and art of transportation and urban planning. New Intelligent Transportation Systems are beginning to provide real time traffic information. Urban roads themselves are providing a constellation of computers to meet the information needs of planners. This information will play an important role in the evolution of transportation planning and traffic management. The potential of these improvements is enormous.

 For fifty years, transportation planners have desired a universal database knowledge - accessible worldwide. A database where important information can be located quickly and easily. This paper provides a guided tour  of the Internet and explains the various facilities that the Internet currently provides to traffic engineers and other transportation professionals are presented. Specific Internet sites for traffic and transportation engineering resources are identified and opinions of survey respondents are provided. The expected future traffic engineering achievements in the cyberspace domain are then discussed and illustrated.
