Transport Network Analysis of Rohtak City through Geospatial Technology

Abstract

Developed and efficient transportation network in urban areas is just like blood flowing through veins in body. It is a basic infrastructural requirement to meet the need of the increasing population and growing economy. The study was taken up to provide road and railway network information to city dwellers which help them to choose appropriate route for increasing the transport network system efficiency. The analysis was done using high resolution CARTOSAT-I Panchromatic data, collateral maps of MC and top sheets of area. The Arc GIS software was used to complete the process geo-referencing, digitization of transport network layers, building topology and final transport network map was generated. The study reveals that city is having dense network of roads and facing the problems of traffic congestion, parking and inefficient transport network.
