What is GIS ?
Geographic Information System(GIS) is a Computer System, Which
Comprise With Software and Hardware, that enable users to Capture,
Store, analyze, Visualization and Manage Spatially referenced Data.
Examples Of GIS Applications.
 Crime Mapping
 GIS and Hydrology
 Remote Sensing Applications
 Road Networking (Transportation)
 Traditional Knowledge GIS
 Wastewater and Storm water Systems
 Waste Management
GIS For Road Networking
GIS Technology using for Road
Networking comprehensively,
also It could be identified
through Transport Infrastructure
Life Cycle.
 Design Section
 Integrate GIS with most design tools, including CAD, bringing greater
analytic and cost-estimation capabilities to your infrastructure design
process.
 Surveying Section
 Manage and store GPS data and survey measurements more effectively.
GIS helps organize all relevant project information, from survey data, soils, and
geotechnical studies to planning, environmental studies, engineering drawings, and
project maps. and especially different types of layers.
 Construction Management
Can Manage roads
which avoid difficulties
of Terrain.
Stelvio pass - Italy
Italy's Stelvio pass is located at the east of the Alps, near the Swiss border.The road is risky because of its 48 sharp
turns at 9,045 feet above sea level. It is known as one of the longest winding roads in the country. Although there
are no high cliffs along the road, people are advised to drive slowly.
 Operation Section
Traffic Management
GIS take a central role in developing effectively traffic management
strategies
GIS have Capability of viewing comprehensive picture of current traffic
Condition (Situation)
Further those latest Information can get to the Drivers using online sources.
It’s allow to know Road closures and current travel conditions/situation
related for Drivers.
 Maintenance and work Order management
Modern Road management agencies have gained productivity and
efficiency by integrating maintenance and work order management
systems with GIS.
Maintenance management systems allow more efficient scheduling of
maintenance activities.
As a example we can manage better days for Maintenance activities in
particular road areas.
Also we can identify how material can we use for maintenance
activities and further cost and quantity.
 Planning Section
Transportation Planning
In Planning Section, we can identify better transportation pattern in
particular Road Networks.
Transportation Safety Analysis
 GIS allows Roads departments to accurately capture and analyze
traffic accident information as well as identify dangerous Road
segment locations with high accident rates.

GIS for Smart Transportation
How its applicable for Sri Lankan context
News
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is fast becoming the platform
of collaboration between organizations and the public, responding
to the needs of all stakeholders and in the case of governments to
enhance development, essentially rural development

Survey
• Manage and store GPS data and survey measurements
more effectively.
Construction
• Project information, survey data, soils, and geotechnical
studies to planning, environmental studies, engineering
drawings, and project maps.
• GIS makes this information easily available to project staff
using a browser interface.
Operation
• Taking some decisions when the process is ongoing.

Maintenance
Conclusion
• GIS is Not only a company of Esri
• It is contain lot of technologies
• According to new technologies GIS also growing up
• Therefore GIS is one of a best tool for planners to deal with
the space
