DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF TRAFFIC SYSTEM

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

Road network is the most important infrastructure for a neighborhood as it acts like the veins of a planned neighborhood. Supervision and maintenance of these critical transportation assets can also be beneficial to obtain higher safety, convenience and cost effectiveness in the transportation sector for citizens. The road network is the most conspicuous publicly used network that is supervised and maintained by local government bodies. In 1970s, Road management systems (RMS) have been introduced and they have advanced consistently in terms of their scope, methodology, and application. According to Kulkarni and Miller (2016), these systems with the aid of evaluating the previous and contemporary practices and recognized future instructions for the key elements. According to Shahin (2019), Road Management System (RMS) is a device or systematic approach that can furnish an inclusive inventory for road network and set up the work with the assist of much less time and struggle. The system can consider the roads and discover out a suitable maintenance desires with priorities underneath the accessible funds. According to Ahmed (2018),

In today’s time, everybody maintains a tight schedule of their busy life. No one loves to stuck in a traffic jam and being late for their jobs/schools. But in a developing country like India, it is a common thing to stuck in road traffic jams and getting late. But who could be blamed for it? We often find cars of popular celebrities/Politicians/government officials being stolen and later used by criminals for criminal activities. These challenges can be solved using Geographic Information System (GIS), Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system for mapping and analyzing any object on earth. It is a way of gathering, storing, and managing any type of data with spatial components. GIS data are usually stored in more than one layer. This is the fundamental aspect of GIS, and working with layers of geographical information is generally known as data integration. GIS technology integrates powerful database capabilities with unique visual perspective of a good old fashioned-map (Gharaibeh et al., 2018). This makes GIS unique among various information collection systems. Basically, this system utilizes hardware, software, user, and effective management to collect, store, analyze and present the related information of a given area on the earth. Even more, it has the capability to overlap map and provide an information inquiry facility that can indirectly create a whole new set of information. Here, data output can be obtained in the form of tables, maps, graph or combination of this three. The other powerful aspect of GIS is its flexibility in modeling spatial objects to suit the particular needs of the user or application. GIS provides a set of tools or computer programs that allow user to perform specific operation on the map, assisted by set of attribute data (Gharaibeh et al., 2018).

This proposed system will be conducted with the objective to explore the potentials of GIS in capturing, storing, updating, retrieving, displaying and printing data to facilitate road database management. Road maintenance is monitored effectively within the district by using the application of ArcView software

1.2 Statement of the Problem

One of the most significant urban transport problems is traffic congestion. It is experienced when the supply of the urban transport networks can no longer meet the demand for them. Today nearly all cities in both developed and developing countries suffer from traffic congestion. Due to increase in population, increase in household incomes and its resultant increase in the level of car usage coupled with poor land use planning, poor transport design and planning, traffic congestion has become an intractable problem in urban centers in Nigeria. The following are some of the challenges:

Hastiness of bus drivers to complete as many trips as they can in a day
The street trading habit along the major road
Poor traffic control and management
Indiscriminate parking of active and inactive vehicles along major roads.

1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study

The aim of this project is to develop road management system. The objectives are to:

Design a digital road network map
Identifying traffic congestion prone arrears
Database creation and linking attribute tables to geometric data
Determination of alternative route in times road congestion

1.4 Significance of the Study

The significant of the project is to develop a road management system that will suggest shortest route whenever there is traffic jam using analysis and by mapping and monitoring of road accidents using GIS application.
