Intelligent Transportation System Using GIS By: Dr. Praveen Kumar Dhanunjaya Reddy Varun Singh Indian Institute of Technology,Roorkee

Agenda What are Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)? ITS Benefits Types of ITS Implemented Objective of the Presentation What are Advanced Traveler Information Systems? ATIS Benefits Development of Package Applications of the Package Conclusions

What are Intelligent Transportation Systems ? Information technologies applied to transportation systems To manage it in a safe and efficient manner To monitor traffic conditions (accident, incidents, construction work, major events) Control traffic flow To provide information to the motoring public about traffic conditions

ITS Benefits Improved safety to drivers Improved traffic efficiency Reduced traffic congestion Improved environmental quality and energy efficiency Improved economic productivity

Types of ITS implemented Advanced Traffic Management Systems Advanced Traveler Information Systems Advanced Vehicle Control Systems Electronic Toll Collection Systems Advanced Public Transportation Systems Commercial Vehicles Operations

Objective of the Presentation Development of Advanced Traveler Information Systems for Hyderabad under GIS environment Shortest path from origin to destination Path to closest facility (Tourist Places, Hospitals, Govt. & Private Offices,Stadiums, Bus & Railway Stations) Information regarding arrival and departure timings with services names of buses (Metro Liners, Metro Express and Ordinary), trains and flights

What are Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS)? ATIS are type of ITS implementation, using emerging sensor, computer, communication, and information technologies in order to provide Provides safety advisory and warning messages to the driver Provides the information about the traffic regulation, guidance, and hazardous situations

ATIS Benefits Reduction of travel time Reduction of stress level Reduction of traffic congestion Avoidance of unsafe driving conditions

Development of Package (1) Package for GIS based ATIS ArcView GIS Version 3.1 (Platform) Network Analyst Version 1.1b (Network Analysis) Avenue Programming Language (Script Language for ArcView Customization)

Development of Package (2) Maps Collection Scanning of Maps Geo-Referencing of Scanned Maps On-line Digitization of Road Network Database Creation Software Development in ArcView GIS

Development of Package (3) Inputs Four topographical maps (NE, SE,NW & SW) Information of one-way road segments Speed limits on roads Road names City bus routes Time tables of inter city bus, trains and air services

Fig.1 General View

Development of Package (4) Data Base Creation Attribute table for the following features: Road Network Places of tourist interest Educational institutions Hospitals and offices Bus stations, railway stations and airports Lakes and rivers

Development of Package (5) Themes Fields Road Network Name,One-Way,Speed Limits, Length,Drive Time Places of Tourist Interest Name (Name of tourist place), Label of tourist place Transport Name, Label ( of the transport station viz. airport , bus and railway station), Category key for local and main railway stations, bus stations and airport Hospitals Name, label of the hospitals, Category key number for private and Govt. hospitals

Development of Package (6) Themes Fields Educational institutions Name and Label of the educational institutions Offices Name and Label of the offices

Applications of the package (1) For viewing the area wise information of Hyderabad city For searching features in Hyderabad For finding shortest path With given origin and given destination With user given origin and given destination With given origin and user given destination With user given origin and user given destination

Fig.2 Viewing Hyderabad Locationwise

Fig.3 Searching for features in Hyderabad

Applications of the package (2) For finding closest facility from any point on the road network For site tour (for finding optimum path for given itinerary of tourist places) Searching for city bus services,Inter city bus services, Inter city railway and Inter city airline services

Fig.5 City Bus Services

Conclusions This package is user friendly point-and-click graphical user interface The developed package has following capabilities Finding shortest path based on distance and drive time Finding closest facility and its path based on distance and drive time City bus routes

Conclusions (Contd.) The developed package has following capabilities Search Engine - which searches different facilities in Hyderabad City Provide intercity bus,train and airways information (timings, distance and service name) Site tour planning

Conclusions (Contd.) The developed package can be used in the following areas Bus Stands Railway Stations Airports Tourist information centers In personal computers
