Web enabled Road Information System (RIS) coupled with GIS features for National Highways on Golden Quadrilateral of India: Client – National Highways Authority of India, World Bank funded project
Government of India has taken an ambitious plan of improvement of National Highway Network of the country. The highway network after improvement needs to be operated and maintained by developing priority programs and schedules of rehabilitation, maintenance and new construction within budget constraints. To maintain these national Highways, a large amount of data on Road Inventory, Traffic, asset Condition etc. are required to be collected, stored, maintained and retrieved on a continuous basis. Presently, no comprehensive information system is maintained by road agencies and investment & management decisions for improvement/ maintenance programs are made based on broad performance indicators such as traffic intensity and riding quality of road network. The alternative strategies of improvement are generally not evaluated based on life cycle cost analysis due to lack of availability of information and non availability of analysis tool with road agency and planning organization. This may give rise to making non optimum budget allocations especially while managing fast expanding network of national highways and addition of new expressway system. This has established a need for developing a modern road Information System coupled with intelligent features for management of National Highways. The RIS system would have the effective role in the process of planning, design, construction and maintenance activities of the department. Budgeting, allocation of funds and maintenance management could be carried out more scientifically through the proposed RIS and thus effective improvements can be achieved in the management of the corridors and environmentally sensitive areas. Considering above requirements CES-Parkman-PB JV under the aegis of the World Bank has
