Deliverable 1 ● Generation of High-quality spatial and non-spatial

data of the road (either stretches, junctions or
roundabouts, or a combination of them all).

Deliverable 2 ● Allows frequent revisits of each point on earth surface.

Deliverable 3
● Evolve a system to enhance traffic flow, incident
detection, incident prevention systems and increase
in road safety.
Conclusions
● Implementation of geospatial tools maximize the efficiency of decision making and
planning.

● Provide efficient means for data distribution and handling, eradication of the duplicated
data, integration of information from many sources, analysis of queries involving
geographical reference data for generation of new information, update data quickly and
at the minimum cost

● It is recommended that transportation agencies should take the advantage of spatial,

analytical and cartographic capabilities of GIS in their application programs.
