Introduction
What is GIS ?

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a collection of

computer software, hardware, data, and personnel used to
store, manipulate, analyze, and present geographically
referenced information.

Geographic Information systems (GIS) represent a powerful

new means to efficiently manage and integrate the
numerous types of information necessary for the planning,
design, construction, analysis, operation, maintenance, and
administration of transportation systems and facilities.

Role of GIS in Transportation

Geographic information systems for transportation

(GIS-T) can be defined as interconnected hardware,
software, data, people, organizations, and
institutional arrangements for collecting, storing,
analyzing, and communicating particular types of
information (i.e., transportation systems and
geographic regions) about the Earth.

Applications of GIS

GIS-T applications covered much of the broad scope of

transportation, such as
infrastructure planning,
design and management,
transportation safety analysis,
travel demand analysis,
traffic monitoring and control,
public transit planning and operations,
environmental impacts assessment,
hazards mitigation, and
intelligent transportation systems (ITS).

Transportation facilities, including roadways and railways,

bridges and tunnels, air and sea ports, are planned and
managed using GIS.

Public and private fleets are being made more efficient and
effective through the application of GIS.

Both passengers and freight shipments arrive on schedule and

more safely, due to the growing number of GIS-based
information systems.

Applications of GIS-T are highly appreciated in major fields

like:
Aviation
Fleet Management and Logistics
Highways and Streets
Mass Transit
Railroads

Objectives

To develop transportation information system by using

GIS.
To generate error free digital data for further analysis.
To provide alternative measurement.
To solve various problems related to traffic system.

Study area

Location of study area

Hyderabad city and surrounding areas of Telangana state.
Geographically selected area covers in between lat/long :
17 6 28.7N 78 725.05E and 17 4232.55N
78 420.96E.

Total area covered is 4067.3 sq.km

Number of Roads considered in area are 28.
The following are the types of roads captured in our
study area
National high ways,
Outer ring road,
City roads,
Bypass roads etc.

Data sets / software's used

Google Earth along with Satellite Image

Global Mapper
GIS software

Google Earth 7.1.5.1557

Selected Study area on Google earth based on location

Captured area boundary from the satellite image based

on major road network

All the Roads are captured by using Google earth

satellite image and exported as kmz/kml file.

Exported data is geo-processed data

Global Mapper v11.01

Global Mapper is a tool where we can import the

kmz/kml files, edit the features, add the field data
(attribute information) to the captured features.

All the Routes are edited and separated as individual

routes and exported as shape file (GIS format) for
further analysis

GIS software
Used ArcView V3.1 for further integration
Updated all other ancillary data by means of attribute
data in the tabular form.
Routes are categorized based on specifications
Identified various zones for further development
Prepared final Map Layout

In the above map , the routes are divided in to 6

categories
they are as fallows:
1-ORR Outer ring road
2-National high ways
3-Neckless road
4-Airport road
5-City road
6-Bipass road

Problems in study area

The road suffers from various problems like
bottleneck traffic
on-street parking
improper placement of bus-stops,
poor drainage and pavement damages

The following are the major problems that are

identified in our study area
High traffic congestion levels during peak hours near
balanager, paradise and tank bund.
Due to the less width of roads at the junctions traffic
intensity is more.
Improper maintenance of roads near kompally,
bowenpally, koti.
Construction of metro: Construction works and
equipment occupy a large amount of space and has also
led to dusty roads which may prove hazardous to
pedestrians, this type of problem mostly occur at
miyapur and tolichowk.

On-street parking: Due to location of many shopping

and office areas on the main road, users park their
vehicles outside the buildings on the road.

Bottlenecks in traffic occur due to the uneven geometry

of the roads and vehicles stopping near shops; the
traffic does not move uniformly.

Heavy crowded area like secunderabad and near koti

interrupt the flow of traffic and also cause accidents.

Finally these leads to environmental pollution.

Solutions

Suggesting alternative routes.

Increase the width of roads at heavy crowded areas.

Proper maintenance of roads.

During peak hours ,we can provide alternative routes or

allow the traffic into the less traffic lanes.

Flyovers at the junctions.

Conclusions
By using GIS we have developed transportation
information system to solve various traffic related
problems.
The error free data obtained can also be used for further
analysis.
Suggested alternative routes for different factors, such
as
1.Less distance
2.Best type of road
