4 Connecting GIS GPS mapping with the Road accidents
5) Accident Crisis Mapping & Management and Hazards GIS Management
6) A Rural and Urban Planing Project in the Drawbacks and consequence in Street Accidents
7) GIS and GPS is a Infrasture of tomorrow in Town Planning Accident are killing lot of people .
Accident in streets are Increasing day by day and is killing lot of people in the road and streets . Accident is targeting every one . Even thought there are lot of Rules and regulation , Accident rate Increasing can increase death rate in place While comparing the Road - Rail- ferry accidents , the Victims can be a small child to a aged person . Road Accident are increasing in Highways like collision , Collapse of bridges etc , train accidents are collision of trains, and Ferry is Boat capsizing .
Accidents are taking place due to Heavy traffic , carelessness , Not obeying the rules , Corruption , High speed , Over loading , overtaking , Blind driving or rash driving , not alert, sleeping , Car Problems , street light problems , Road alignment problems take accident to increase As Road , Rail Accident is not good for the economy of a Country , it is necessary that lot of funds are invested for the safety of the Roads , Rail , projects . In the network of the road network and rail Network , it is always making lot of Confusion and Project become expensive . The Accident cases in courts are rising . Accident can increase lot of people to hospital . It is necessary to avoid late driving , drinking driving and control the speed of the vehicle In Transport Network
The Rural and Urban towns Inhabited are connected together by a Network of Road- rail- ferry- Airport Route. Accident in Normal conditions are Under control , But accidents that occur by in-normal conditions can cause sever damages Road Crossing & Junction Accidents in Transport network can Happen in Major junction or a Place of connection of Roads , Crossing in Major Junction , Moving the direction of vehicles across the other vehicles tracks , Turning the direction of Vehicle to Right or Left and to other Roads . Accidents can happen in the Crossing of Road and railway that is Unmanned , Crossing of Road and Road etc Accident can happen in worst Climates Accidents in Cities Breaking Problems of the Vehicles and no speed control Clear view of the Road & sight distance in Curves and due to sight Difference the opposite vehicle can be seem in Turn and elevated Road Proper Drainage problems , Electricity Lines Post , Water Pipe , Telephone Line , Pits in Road . Due to the Electricity , Telephone line crossing above the roads , the Vehicle with High Roof can break the Connection and Make damages in the Road, due Drainage Problems , water Flooding the Road and streets can make Traffic jams Embankment of the roads , and no Embankment protection in Elevated Road Earth leveling problems and the surface changing in every monsoon season Water Table Rising above the danger level and flooding the roads and Making submersible Road and Bridges Location of Houses , Tress and walls Near to a Road Wrong side Parking Running behind the Buses in peak Hours Hanging on the Bus and train doors Water Logging High speed .
Worst train accident in Kerala July 8, 1988 107 people die as Island Express plunges into Ashtamudi lake in Kerala where the climate & rainfall had affected Immediate rescue operation and the Accident was on Mid Night in a remote Location and Local people or first Eye witness Near by heard a Explosion and in the dark the rescue was no ok with bad weather of raining May 14, 1996 35 of a marriage party killed as bus carrying them collides with the Ernakulam –
Kayamkulam train at an unmanned level-crossing near Alappuzha in Kerala.
As Kerala had Big coastline , Boat accident and Boat capsizing case are rising and in bad weather and water currents .
Road Transports can save Million of People Life with the Road accident prone area project work to be done and Road accident to be reduced Road fencing and embankment work to done Speed Control Monitoring devices are used . Overtaking of vehicles can cause accidents Accident can cause fire and spread of fire in Trains , Cars, Boats . In developed countries the fast moving vehicles Inside the city can make lot of accidents, even though there is no overtaking and Vehicles moving only in tracks . Rules and regulation should must and overloading the vehicles Vehicle Body design can cause accidents , Some Lorries Silencer Pipe are projecting to the Opposite vehicle tracks can cause accidents , over loading the vehicle is causing accidents Illegal Dredging in the Area of Bridges can cause accidents Parking in wrong places is making blocks in the movement of Vehicles like Bus stops in Roads in cities etc As usually if the city is expanding in size the only alternative is the Construct fly over, By pass Roads or widening of roads In GIS Projects ,
Every Projects of Road consist of Survey , Land acquisition , Map development , Project Planning , and implementation In GPS Projects ., Every Map location can be viewed by Satellite or Camera GIS & GPS Rural and Urban Development is Mainly aimed on The Construction of Transport Network of a Place .
Pollution control limits of the vehicles , Speed Checking and Other Rules should be Effective in Controlling the accidents weather Information devices like fog , Snow, Mist , in the Road and Weather alert can reduce accidents , slippery in Roads etc GPS & GIS can be used for the implementation of the project and track the Movement of the Vehicles .
It is Necessary to control the Movements of Two wheeler and three wheeler in heavy Traffic situation or peak time and not only the Heavy vehicles An Accident a DAY can Kill Lot of People and destruction: Water Logging is formed due to no movement of water due to Blocks , Bridges, etc are man made In Kerala state Techni Bharathi , and Military (DRDO) , PWD is doing the Construction works with the help of the updated maps Pollution control limits of the vehicles , Speed Checking and Other Rules should be Effective in Controlling the accidents weather Information devices like fog , Snow, Mist , in the Road and Weather alert can reduce accidents , slippery in Roads etc GPS & GIS can be used for the implementation of the project and track the Movement of the Vehicles . It is Necessary to control the Movements of Two wheeler and three wheeler in heavy Traffic situation or peak time and not only the Heavy vehicles Railway :
Derailing of Tracks can cause Train to go Upside Down and Crash due to Bends , joint loss in rail, slippery , fire Collision of Boasts and Train can cause accident and for this Buoys , Light House to be constructed in Water ways and Train signal to work . Platform Crossing can cause accidents etc Life Is precious and always be one Tracks and help other in Crossing the Road- Rail- Ferry-route Crossing of Road is Accident and that is why Road- Rail Bridges, Road -Road Flyovers, Pedestrian tracks , Tunnel Walk way constructed Always Make the High ways Run with good condition Road like Bridges, Etc Alignments Problems It is necessary to remove the culverts in Major Roads as Culverts are very small in size connected to a Heavy traffic roads . So Culverts had to converted to Skew Bridges so that a Big Road is not Connected to a Small Culverts / Small Bridges that is not a correct alignments of the Road and the center of the Road is passing through the Middle of the Bridges Accidents in Tunnels Accidents in Tunnel can be due to Accident Inside the tunnel . etc . fire in tunnel can cause Lot of Breathing Problems etc and as the tunnel is dark it is not possible to find the exist . A Master Plan is a Solution to all the Problems and it is possible to discover the New route of Development by GIS & GPS Mapping Road Accident : The End of a Life in Street accidents and Life is a Journey that had to be saved from this kind of accidents Be aware of the co-travelers in the Journey and the Vehicles in the road In Kerala state Techni Bharathi , Indian Military (DRDO) , PWD is doing the Construction works with the help of the updated maps Derailing of Tracks can cause Train to go Upside Down and Crash . Derailing is due to sudden Breaking , Tracks Failure , and Loose & Crack Rails & wrong signals , Platform Crossing Accidents is the end of a Life , But can be saved in what all ways For this , Drive safe, High speed drive can end your journey in to pieces , life in Pieces lot of Accidents are due to Man Made problems and other are Nature defects .
Road are made for vehicle Transports linking a Nation and not to break the traffic in the city by destructive activities Lot of Road Rail- ferry Airport construction are on long term Basis . Maintenance problem , Delay in projects , Defects in Materials and failure can be the reason for accidents and Road - Rail- ferry can crash or collide . A road had to made with respect to the volume and load of the traffic and strong Road- Rail- Bridges with Parapets is in a Long term projects .
A Master Plan is a Solution to all the Problems and it is possible to discover the New route of Development by GIS & GPS Mapping The Map are made is on the Projects success and Implementation Project success Reduces , Accidents and Traffic Control and it is Management and work of a team to success . It is not possible to compare India Development with Europe. It is wise to take effective steps as a Part of Globalization It is not possible to compare India Development with Europe . It is wise to take effective steps as a Part of Globalization Globalization and Industrialization had give way to Many GIS and GPS Projects in IT sector Like www.and.com - Route Map Project www.brifen.co.uk - Road Fencing www.nybldg.com- Construction www.excor.co.uk- Data Base of Road Network Etc Street accidents of UAE : Streets of Dubai , Abu-dhabi , Sharjah In a Road Network , between two Region Abudhabi and Dubai , There Road Network Consist of Major Road and Minor Roads .The Major road is connecting to Many Minor Roads and Density of Minor roads are More as Per a Location . In this accidents it was found to that Many Become Victims and cannot be saved is very sorry and cars went on fire and it will be a Location very close to Abudhabi Location in Map in UAE .
The Traffic Conjunction or Problem as per My suggestion is due to over speed and not keeping distance between two Vehicles and Vehicle Passing a Major signal Junction at high speed , Sudden Breaking , and gearing or taking up or processing from a stop from the Junction by the driver of the Vehicle at a High speed from the point in a Junction for U turn and Right or left turn or round-about with there Toyota , Roll Royce or M- benze and Track Crossing . 2 suggestion I had is work schedule in UAE . In Every day there is a Beak hour from 1 pm to 3 Pm UAE time applicable to every shops and compulsory going to Mosque Prayers and no work due to High temperature . So in the Break 1 PM to 3 PM is compensated by adjusting the time to Morning that a Office starts before 8 Am Morning or 9 PM a compulsory starting time of Office and Break at 12 or 1 Pm Afternoon and after 3 Pm to Late Hours in Night . So the work schedule is Morning 8 to 1 Pm and 3 Pm to after or to 11 Pm Night and in 3 shift hours in Shops from Morning 8 AM to 1 AM Early Morning and this three shift there should be transporting for 10 times for staff and goods and when there thousands of super Market it will make lot of Company vehicles in road for shops , Offices, etc . Dubai Road transports had less buses also In the Morning Hours of Snow or Dust , the Car are running from and to Dubai to reach the Office in Time and from 1 pm also from Dubai in and Out and returning at 3 Pm. this start and Break Hours will cause a Officer or working lay men to travel the car at and Back at 1 Pm and again and back at 6 Pm. This is applicable to every one making lot of vehicle and car to be open Road in Early morning , Afternoon and Night . 3 suggestion is the Shopping Mall , super market is Working up to 1 Am morning and 24 hours and it is not one shop a network of shops making the flow of vehicle between the cities to continuously flow through out , and the open a Shop Whole Night in a small country like UAE is not reasonable . the Vehicle in the Road in Morning hours can be reduce if the break of Noon 1 to 3 Pm is reduced even in High temperature , so that in the Morning Hours during fog and snow people can avoid such drive in every interval to and fro from the offices . This To and from Journey in Morning to Nigh had resulted lot of traffic conjunction and accidents with only one or two person in one cars or Van making it to double every years along with this there should be increase in the Number of official in Duty in the Abudhabi - Dubai and Dubai - sharjah Increase of Dubai Police, More Dubai Transport Buses , After Noon reducing , so that daily work can start office reach there home in Time and not too early and not too Night . 4 suggestion is Introducing Fluorescent lamps in cars that had a Longer wave length than Ordinary Lights used in Car . yellow Lamps or Red lamps in Cars is compulsory so that the Light can travel Longer distance and due to longer wave length . So At Junction this Darkness in Fog can be overcome using Longer wave length Light that can travel longer distance in Fog and snow in street lights . Light are used in Airport to make the Planes to Land at correct Runway even in Worst fog and snow Similar Lights should be constructed in road at Junction and In vehicle Out side Dubai in Rural Area industrial Area like Jebel Ali Free zone and Alquos the weather is always hot with or cold with Sand wind and Fog . There is Plus and Minus in road accidents and it is Accidents Injuries more than claims the maximum Effort is made to help the victims . In the Plus and Minus in road accidents had resulted lot of effort to Fight each other rather than saving the victim in the accidents . In a Accident a Bus or Car will be Burned by Public , rather than trying to Help the Victim in Hospital expenses or Treatment . In the Plus and Minus , Accidents might had occurred due to driving Problems and it is not to Kill any one , But Here more Prior is to save the Victims in the accidents even if the pedestrian, Cycle Man Scooter or car Driver rather than fighting each other at such situation in streets . Lot of care is necessary to save a Victim of a accidents It is necessary to Conduct the Abudhbai road expo in Dubai, so that Lot of People can attend the Exhibition in Dubai- Abudhabi in car, Road, Industrial expo Journal on the Faces of the Road
Accidents : GIS and GPS a Total solution Because GIS Application makes a Maps data base and GPS is used in Taking satellite maps of a Location as Per the Longitude and Latitude or Grid Area and for Aerial maps and GIS and GPS is Used in Street accidents Mapping for Good Quality works
1 Why Road is Dangerous : There are Road with Maclam Road, Bituminous Road and concrete Road . Road Consist of Foundation , Sub Grade , Surface leveling Road Construction is a Part of engineering Road surface can Break : 1 On clay Road the strength is less
2 Temperature Rise
3 Load & Stress 4 Corrugation 5 Wheel Spun action 6 Defective construction 7 Defective Material 8 Embankments 9 Breaking of vehicles 10 Rain Rain Water can enter the Foundation through the Pits and Holes , Capillary action in the drain can break the bearing Capacity of the sub grade and Foundation causing the Surface leveling of the Road to break and damage 11 Over Heating and oil loss 12 Sub soil Movement 13 Bleeding 14 Spraying Problem 15 Scabbing( Using Excess Binder ) rain in construction 16 Concrete Join Breaks 17 Cracks 18 ) Road Signal in Use 2
Why Railway is dangerous
1 Rail Jointing Problem 2 Coning of Wheeling Problem 3 Bending Problem 4 Widening of tracks 5 Corrugation 6 Wheel Burns 7 Creeps 8 Kinks 9 wears 10 Slippery 11 Skidding 12 Loads 13 Defects 14 corrosion 15 Defects in Welding 16 Defect fish Plates 17 Defects Fish Bolts 18 Defect Rail Chairs 19 Defect Bearing Plates 20 Defect Anchors 21 defect Anti Creepers 22) Railway signal in Use while train Crossing 3 Why the Ferry journey is Dangerous Ferry Accident is in Worst climate like Cyclone's , Monsoon , Cyclone's and Rainy Season . In the Boast capsizing he disaster is Travelers are washed away by the High currents due to Rainy season and Cannot reach the Shore Due the Worst Rainy climate survivor are few and rescue work is very difficult Ferry Crash 4
Why the Bridge construction is Dangerous
1) Sinking of the foundation 2) Bed level of the sea rises 3) Cracks in the Masonry 4 ) Depth of scouring 5) Water proofing coating failure 6) Joints and Bearing expansion failure 7) Corrosion 8) Condition of the Paints and Spirs 9) Vibration of the Slits and timber 10 ) Side drain failure 11) Parapet failure 12) Protective Binds 13) Slide slope , slide corrosion , Pitching work on the slopes 14 ) In Timber Bridges the trusses should be tightened and Strengthened in Wooden Bridge 15 ) Singer checked for splits 16 ) Decay of timber 17 ) Bolts tightened 18 ) Flooring of the Bridge failure 19 ) Cracks in the timber 20 ) Drainage system and no water to enter the masonry 21) Spandrels well to separate it from the arch rings due to the drainage problems 22 ) Cracks in the Arch and beams 23 ) Weed Damage the Portion of the bridge 24 ) Anchors , Lawyer & suspender due to corrosion 25 ) Floor beams failure 26 ) In cast of concrete Bridges the Slabs can expand and the can break the approach roads . 27 ) Parapet Bridges are Important for Normal Traffic 28 ) Construction of bridge depend on the Volume of traffic 6
why a Tunnel is very dangerous 1 ) Shafting had to erected correctly so the Jointing of the Tunnel should correct from both side 2 ) Center Line of the Tunnel to corrected so that the two end of the Tunnel Joint together 3 ) Drainage should be well constructed so that water should not collected inside the tunnel 4 ) Tunnel should no collapse etc 7 Why a hill Road is Dangerous 1) hills Road are Elevated Corrugated roads 2) Hill Roads consist of Turns , Bends , curves , Corner Bends and Hair Pin bends 3) Hill Roads drainage is important 4) Rock falling 5) Land slide 6) Slippery roads 7) Tunnels Roads and Blocks 8) Embankment failure 9) Side Chipping 10) View of the Road 11 ) The Shape and the size of the Hill 12) Explosion 13) Lining and the grouting of the rock so the tow end of the tunnel meet together 14) Mucking and Hauling to remove the debris from the Tunnel 15 ) Tunnel in Soft ground and in Rock
This Failure can create Road - Rail Journey Tiring , Time Consuming , Accidents
8 Why a Road is Economical :- Highway is Economical in many reason rather than construction of New roads Road is truly the cheapest and is not the one who had cost the least money but the one which makes the Most profitable return in the Proportion of the money spent Weathered road is disconnecting many land areas and good road will connect every village of India in the rainy season Road can be connect across the river by means of Culvert , Bridges Road can be made through the places where the sources like water and other material is available Road Alignment in the center can be drawn through land with less earth work , Steep gradients and can be leveled Alignment in the center can be made with the surrounding area like the metal roads, towns , Schools , Police station , Agriculture , Rail crossing , Bridges, culverts Alignment can be drawn across the River where the Width of the stream is less and is made with minimum number of crossing and bridges , forest , built areas , cultivated land with minimum banking and cutting with smooth gradient and curves Tunnels in Rock lands can be made and can be drawn out of marshy land, jungles , Protected area Alignment of the road ca be drawn through places with high traffic volume Road Land acquisition is economical if the Road is passing through important places , market places , etc Road can be made with Improving the road condition from the old with less curves, lees super elevation , and clear sigh distance and design like no zigzag roads, Reconstruction of bridges and bye pass , railway crossing bridges embankment , and less hazards Road can be used by All kind of vehicles from Cycle to lorries and can be used by Customer or pubic freely Rod condition can be changed with respect to the load from Malcolm Road , Bituminous Road and concrete Road Maintenance Expense less in Road Vehicle can move in All direction Road widening will make free flow of vehicle 9 Why Railway is economical Railway Transport will be build transports Tracks are connected by points and crossing and Tracks are reserved for railway not to any vehicle Speed of train high as Tracks are reserved for the railway Friction less on Railway Tracks make smooth Journey Maintenance Higher and to Over come accident Rail transports is done by Government Subsidy in Rail transports will reduce fares Not slope or step gradient in Tracks make it very fast Packing and inventory control the parcel in train No octroi , toll tax , Bridge tax in Train make the transportation fast Longer distance transports cheaper in trains gauge conversion can increase the sped of the train labor Facility available Train can reduce in the conjunction in the Road transports tracks will boom the real estate market and industry Railway is stability railway transportation of finished good to all places Big Project like dam , canal and power depend on the use of the railway Politically the Central government administration is easy due to a railway network national Integration in Rail transports mass migration in Rail transports Long distance journey possible safe and comfortable and cheap is Indian Railway In railway here is Flat footed and Bull headed railway and flatfooted Railway is Stronger , Fast , Maintenance less , and is connected bull headed Railway is fast with Point and crossing , and is long period with Chairs , sleepers etc 10 Why Bridges are economical Bridges can be constructed to the approaching Road with Steel , Wooden , Mason Bridges, Suspension bridges, RCC Bridge , Cause way , Floating Bridges etc depending up on the load of the traffic and length of the Bridge and the sub soil and water flow condition Steel Bridges are long can be constructed against Corrosion , Debris collected and Removal , Alignments , cracks , Stinger to support the weight , protected from weeds, Loss Ruts and bolts can be tightened and non vibrations . Suspension Bridge are long , heavy loaded can be Made against corrosion , with strong anchors, Suspension Rods good , Good towers, good masonry works and design , Wood Bridges can be constructed with Good Planks , no cracks , stronger joints , traffic load ok with good stingers and good wooden planks and long life Masonry Bridges are culverts in pipe , rectangle , and with good drainage, and anchorage, good beams and stingers, no cracks , no damages RCC Slab Bridge is made with good cement , Girders , slabs, less damages, with abutment and piers floating brides can be made useful to normal speed vehicle , and with less vibration , noise mad damages , deck stronger ,
11 Street Light and Road Design is Economical For High speed Toll Road and National Highway the alignment should match with Slip Road Geometry , Round About , Crossing bridges , Parking areas , and good street light in Road side
12 ) Why the earth Work is economical & Fast in the Road - Rail Construction Earth work is done for the leveling of the soil for the road and Rail with Embankment and Cutting . Land is Leveling by the Excavation of Land from a Haul to the Construction site . The Road surface is Made by Raising a Land Level from a Low level or from the High level to the Normal Level . The Leveling is Important as the Land is leveled and road is constructed on the Slumps , Low level water table Land , and other Low level land with water table high . In order to make the Road Constructions above the water table level the Road surface is raised above the water table level . One the Land is excavated with Mud Dumping and Leveling with Soil work , the Surface become much stronger than any other surface if the Excavation is and leveling is done properly and the dumped sand is Rolled , mixed , leveling . The Embankment of the road is Done by leveling . The Excavated Earth Work Volume of the Cross section is calculated in the Earth work . Mid sectional Area Method where the Center is a Rectangle and two banked side as 90 Degree triangle . The Area of Cross section b(d1+d2)/2 + S(d1+d2)*(d1+d2)/2 *L where b is the width or breadth of the cutting or embankment of the Road d1 and d2 is the height of the embankment at two ends and (d1+d2 )/2 is the average height of the embankment of the roads m is the slope of the land s is the side slope of the embankment or cutting and L is the length of the embankment 2 the Hill section earth work in two section 1 Wholly the cutting 2 partial cutting and Banking In Wholly the Cutting the Quantity of work or the Area of the cross section is S1 = b/2 (d+b/2m) (ms/m-s) S2 = b/2 (d+b/2m) (ms/m+s) where b is the length of the road d= (d1+d2)/2 is the Average height m is the slope of the Hill and s is the side slope and L is the length of the embankment or cutting in the road there by calculating the earth in banking and cutting in the Hill region The quantity of the earth work is calculated with the with the Mid sectional Area method and hill section method Limit of Economical haul is the maximum limit to which the mud can be excavated from a haul to the surface limit if the Economical haul is = Free Haul + Cost of excavation / cost of Over haul The Over haul region in the excavation also exist where b is the width or breadth of the embankment or cutting , m is the slope and d is the average height of the banking or cutting height and L is the length of the cutting and embankment of the roads
When the earth work is done lot of Machine used are the 1) Crawler Type Tractor 2 ) Track type tractor 3) Bull Dozer , 4) Rooter or Dipper 5) Scraper 6) Grader 7) Flat wheeled Roller 8) wheeled Rubber Type Roller 9) Sheep -foot roller 10 ) Dumper 13) What are the Causes of the Accident 1) Segregation between Fast and Slow Moving traffic Vehicle 2) Lack of Sight distance 3) Road Junction with no signals 4) Constant speed variation due to congestion 5) Insufficient Wearing length between the intersection of Roads 6) Road traffic should be independent from the traffic on other roads by over & under bridges 7) Distraction and intercept in Roads like Trees Branches , Banners , houses etc 14 )How to prevent such accident 1) Traffic signals for pedestrians 2) Installation of pedestrian islands 3) Improving the street lights 4) Under and over bridge passage 5) Distraction avoiding 6) design and Marking 7) Crossing , Junction , Corners proper with the cross section of the road 8) Super elevation , Curves at all Roads and Provision of non skid and Uniform surface 9) Pro traffic segregation where possible realizing the speed 10 ) Realizing the Difference between the pedestrian and vehicular traffic 11 ) Road Junction at Design at Right angles not at acute angles 12) Road traffic should be independent of the traffic from other roads by over and Under bridge 13) Sufficient space for visibility by extension and Improvement 14) Provision for pedestrian crossing 15) No Gradient at a junction 16) Camper not at Road crossing 17) Round-about at three road connection 18) Camper and elevation to flow the control of vehicles 19) Minimum turning radius 20) Square junction ( Road meeting at Right angles ) are paved, Island type , slip Round type 21) T Junction ( Crossing not at Right angles )is paved , Triangular , Elliptical 22) Y Junction - Paved, triangular , Circular , Channels Y 23) Staggered and Multiplied Junction 24 ) Refugee Islands : are circular ,
Projection Elliptical Tangential , Rhombus in design that gives 1protection , 2 Guidance to driver, 3 Efficiency to traffic 4Traffic in Proper channel Road signals 15) Why crossing with Traffic signals 1) To ensure the Movement of the Vehicles 2) Reduce the Traffic accidents 3) Control the speed 4) Direction giving to vehicles and Drivers 5) Traffic control device for Road and Rail 6) Co-ordinate Intercept heavy traffic and Crossing and a fault in Signal can cause delay in crossing and turning change can make delay to vehicle on one side of the roads and can cause accident Signal dimension are Larger in NH Road , Letter space large, and made with not more than three letters , visibility in night by illumination and Uniform size , space , and shape , not distraction also . 16)
Why GIS / GPS Mapping is important in Managing street traffic GIS Street Data Base consist of a 1) Network of Roads 2) Network of Railway 3) Network of Ferry 4) Network of Airline and Airports 5) province , state ,Country and coastline boundary network 6) Important City , Towns , Villages Location 7) Inland water Network 8) Electricity and water Network 9) Bridge and Bridge names 8) Crossing of roads with Flyover, slip roads , over and under Bridges 9) Direction fo road with routes 10 ) Important Building in the place like post office ,motels, petrol pumps and Banks 11 ) Parking like 3*6 M for cars and 2.5*5 for community parking , 3.75*7.5 m for lorries 12) Drainage network 13) Forest , vegetation 14) Names in the Maps with legends 15) Digital maps in Computer 16) GIS / GPS satellite in Road Maps 17) Cartography Paper Drawing , Photo-grametry Imaging GIS Maps 2) design and development and GIS Maps with different dimension , shape and color Maps with Cad, Graphical GIS Drawing . 18) Intranet and internet maps 19) Paper Maps, CD Maps , Digital maps , and Mobile Maps , voice and image Maps 20 Updating , merging of different scale Maps together with lot of density data by Computer Aided Packages
17 Map Legends :
Road Network Slip Roads : Clover leaf Junction , Trumpet junction , Diamond Junction Round About : Circular Round about Parking : Lay Bye Roads : National High ways , State Highway , Province roads, City Roads, By Pass Roads, Toll Roads, Tonnage Roads, Tunnel Roads, Hill roads, Border roads Bridges : Culverts, Timber Bridges , Concrete Bridges, Steel Bridges, Suspension Bridges, Cantilever Bridges Boundary : Country , Coastline , Provisional Boundary Water ways : Creeks , Youth Rivers, Valleys , River, Ling rivers Towns and villages Airport - Rail way Network & Ferry Network with station and Route ) 18) Rural and Urban Development in India Rural and Urban development Projects are a Major Projects in connecting different places by Road - Rail - Ferry - Airline route . Lot of Money is spent on the development of Rural and URabn Development projects by Means of GIS . As this is a Long term projects and in a Large Area , GIS & GPS Planning is able to make Maps of the projects by means of Different data and Maps by GIS GIS and GPS is now connected to satellites and other electronic devices . GIS and GPS is the Future of the Community world wide Dubai Airport is world biggest Airport . A Road accident in UAE had shown that this similar crash can happen in the Dubai Aviation sector in Dubai Airport , if the Plane Traffic Increases and the Airport is not safe to allow all planes and to land and fly . When Considering the Road Accidents of Dubai , the other Accident will be in the Dubai Airports , if the Flight will be increasing and if there is a failure in the Aviation sector . one day with the GIS and GPS , Dubai will be a Place of satellite Landing GIS and GPS is a Infrastructure of tomorrow in Town Planning
Modern Road Geometry :
The Modern roads are 45 meter width road with many lanes with duc medians called as the national highway with crossing & slip road connection like the clover leaf,  trumpel , ramp connection that makes the easy entry and exit of vechiles by the roads from the city to the pheripheral roads , ring roads that is outer areas of teh city making the free flow of the vehicles in all direction like in the autobahn roads , european roads etc
