This document discusses how geographic information systems (GIS) can be used for traffic management systems. Some key points: - GIS allows for providing alternate routes to drivers, informing passengers, optimizing traffic signals, minimizing accidents, and reducing congestion. - GIS can minimize accidents by creating a database of high-accident locations and informing drivers to be cautious in those areas. - A case study describes how GIS was used in Kaduwela, Sri Lanka to identify needed improvements to the road network to reduce wasted time and resources by analyzing spatial data on roads, road conditions, and population accessibility.

GIS FORTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BY SOURABH JAIN
Introduction • Traffic management is the planning, monitoring and control or influencing of traffic. • The Traffic Systems Management Program (TSM) is used to increase the capacity of State and local transportation systems by increasing the number of peak-hour person-trips by improving existing facilities without major construction.
Objectives • Ensure reliable and safe operation of transport. • Ensure fair allocation of infrastructure space (road space, rail slots, etc.) among competing users. • Improving the travelling mobility. • Conserving the energy while protecting the environment.
Need of Traffic Management

Role of GIS in TMS GIS Plays Significant Role In Each Field Of Traffic Management. Some Of These Fields Are ……….. • Providing Alternate Routes To Road Users. • Providing Necessary Information To Passengers. • For Proper Signal Control. • Minimizing Accidents. • Reduction Of Congestion Spots.
ACCIDENT MINIMIZATION • Accidents Can Be Minimize Through GIS By Generating A Data Base Of Most Accidents Prone Spots (Crash Spots). • Information Can Be Provided Either In Tabular Or Graphical Format To The Users. • Drivers Become Extra Cautious At Such Spots Hence Free Flow Can Be Maintained.
METHODOLOGY • Load Pedestrian-vehicle Crash Data And Segregate The Data At Each Location • Compute A Severity Index At Each Location. • Examine The Spatial Patterns Of The Pedestrian-vehicle Crash Data. • Create A Pedestrian-vehicle Crash Hot Spots Map. • Load The Bus Stop Data And Identify Bus Stops In Hot Spots Areas. • Compute Severity Indices And Rank Unsafe Bus Stops.

CASE STUDY A GIS Approach to Identify Road Network Improvement Needs By: Chandimal and Wijesekera
Study Area Kaduwela region which is located in the western province of Sri Lanka
• Aim Of The Study Is To Identify Improvements That Should Be Made To The Road Network In Order To Reduce Wastage Of Time, Fuel, And Other Valuable Resources. • GIS Is To Incorporates Spatial Variation Of Roads, Road Condition And Population In The Context Of Road Network Accessibility And Road Service Accessibility.
Methodology
Field data Statistics
GIS for traffic management system
Spatial Data Layers Used In The Study
Road feeder clusters in the study area
Proximity to Road layer in the study area
Pathway spatial accessibility
Affected road index values in different zone Spatial accessibility indicator for project area
CONCLUSION • The higher the Total Spatial Accessibility Indicator (TSAI) the higher is the easiness to access. • The higher the ARI the higher is the need to provide assistance to develop the roads in a particular land extent. • Higher the NPA higher would be the time taken to access a location through that a pathway. • A simple model developed for Kaduwela area presented the potential of GIS in the assessment of accessibility, thereby identifying the zones with various degrees of accessibility.
