Abstract
This paper conveys the suitability and applications of GIS and GPS technology in the development of an interactive Road Information System (RIS) for a modern city, which will help the planners and administrators to identify the problems associated with rural road development activities, location and provision of appropriate facilities, monitoring and maintenance management of the assets created in the rural areas. This RIS provides an interactive information database that consists of a range of available utility services within the selected road network. This interactive system provides the end-users a list of query-based services. These query-based services include the road connectivity between any two selected points, informations about distances and accessibility, buffering-based information bank and related proximity analysis etc. It will also provide necessary details about different network analysis-based route information (e.g., alternate route, shortest possible route, finding closest facility etc.) in any selected area during various emergency situations.
Highlights
In modern day world, there is a requirement of creating a live, up-to-date & well-managed digital database of Road Information System (RIS) for the planning of proper infrastructure building in any modern city
RIS of any modern city can serve as an efficient tool for decision making with respect to any urban development programme
Various value-added services, such as query capability, like road connectivity between any two points, distance and accessibility, information bank based on buffering and proximity analysis, route information like shortest route, alternate route etc. in the existing road network have been incorporated
Summary
There is a requirement of creating a live, up-to-date & well-managed digital database of Road Information System (RIS) for the planning of proper infrastructure building in any modern city. This digital database can be used for understanding and verifying proper and updated road connectivity in a modern city. It can check the accessibility of the available road network with various public utility services. Data acquired with RS technology would provide information over a large area about urban environment and land use changes. A recent study [1 & 2] concluded that GIS facilitates an environment, where RS data can be integrated with other spatial and non-spatial information and provides various GIS functionalities for analysis of various planning purposes with these integrated information
