Abstract
The infrastructure of road systems is weak in many developing countries, and in the emergency situations, there is an urgent need for the discovery of the nearby emergency facilities, finding the optimal route for these services, and avoiding traffic delays to reduce losses of lives and assets. In this paper, these problems were undertaken by building a geodatabase for the study area of Amman city, Jordan, and by adopting the Geographic Information System (GIS) with other applications, such as the Dijkstra algorithm for shortest path and nearest facility applications. In this paper, a specific area in Amman, with high traffic was selected to be analysed using GIS for Transportation Tools (GIS-T). This research has been conducted to help decision makers to discover the best way to plan transportation, investigate transportation needs, analyse travel demands, and monitor traffic flow, creating a new and efficient transportation system that will efficiently help in economic development of any country.
