Application of GIS in Road Information System—An Experience with State Highways of West Bengal
Abstract In last few years, application of GIS technology in highway and transportation engineering field increased substantially in India. In the present study, GIS has been used to develop a user-friendly road information system for State Highway Network in state of West Bengal, India. Objective of the study is to prepare a “Base map” to have all the traffic, road, and structure features mapped into a GIS platform. This map will provide the basic platform for all spatial features of the road and structure assets with an integrated database for storing attributes of the data features and screening and ranking of developmental requirements and to prioritize resource allocation for such development. The present paper demonstrates with the help of data collected from State Highways of West Bengal that GIS can be used as a useful tool for developing an interactive road information system.
