Dzirula-Chumateleti Km 0.0- Km 50.0

Objectives :

Improvement of the national connectivity and reliability of the transport network by serving

as an alternative route to the highway E60 and the railway.

Improvement of the mobility of the municipality’s population

Main Outputs:

50 km of the rehabilitated road from Dzirula to Chumateleti,

improved regional connectivity and feasible alternative route for the East West highway, and

improved road safety.

Pilot GIS for project preparation, road design, construction, maintenance and operation

GIS Objectives

GIS Objectives TA /TOR: The objective is to provide a pilot GIS, which can be used to compile

and use data for project preparation, road design, construction, maintenance and operation.

• To bring forth the importance of the need for data and systems integration

within Road Department and Ministry of Transport

• To point out the advantages of GIS in transport projects; and

• To explore potential applications and benefits for users and beneficiaries of GIS in transportation.

Why is GIS unique ?

• GIS references information spatial

• GIS makes connections between activities based on spatial location

© KC 2015

Data Capture and Integration

ArcGIS software has been chosen as a technical solution for this task. 20 data items from various sources have been collected as a basis incl.: • Topographical Maps • Aerial Photographs • Digital elevation data • Environmental baseline survey • Social survey data • Cadaster data • Hydrological data • Culvert inventory data • Bridge inventory and condition data • Utilities

Main Challenge: obtaining & synchronizing data from different sources

Benefits of Data Integration • Integration generally

makes it possible to study many relationships among two or more data elements.

• Improved data reliability • Identification of works

which need to be coordinated

Cross-Disciplinary Data Capture of GIS

Role of GIS in Transport

Application of GIS in Transportation Projects:

• Road Design / Alignment Selection

• Asset Management

• Land Management

• Traffic Safety

• Environmental Monitoring

• Transportation Routing

• Land Use changes

© KC 2015

© KC 2014

Road Design / Alignment Selection

• GIS provides digital terrain model for road design

• Aerial photographs provide a visual feedback for the designer

• Cadaster data helps the designer to minimise (private) land acquisition

• Utlities are considered in early project stage

© KC 2015

© KC 2014

Road Asset Management

In GIS included

• Culvert inventory

• Bridge inventory and condition

• Display of objects and underlying data

Other assets can be incorporated at later stages

• Pavement structure and condition

• Road furniture

• Retaining wall inventory and condition

© KC 2015

© KC 2014

Cadaster Issues & Land Management

• Recording and managing land and property

• Identifying land owners

• Identifying land needs

• Verification of cadastral borders

© KC 2015

© KC 2014

Traffic Safety

• Identifying high crash

locations and accident

black spots

• Support in accident

diagnosis and assessment

of risk factors

• Provides data for the

design of safety

improvement measures

Accident data are in the current GIS version not included, since only limited accident data from the Police available

© KC 2015

© KC 2014

Environmental Monitoring

• Environmental monitoring is the process of determining the various data of environmental quality.

• Environmental baseline data in GIS includes noise, air and water quality

© KC 2015

© KC 2014

Transportation Routing

• Location of potential borrow areas and dump sites, allowing to determine cost effective transport distances

• Planning of detours during construction of brides, culverts, etc

• Planning of access to construction sites

© KC 2015 © KC 2015

To identify potential future land use conflicts, GIS includes

• Protected areas

• Forrest areas

• Residential land plots

Land Use Identification

Cost and Input in the project

• Base data was to be collected, generated and compiled for the TA (anyway)

• GIS compilation requires additional resources

• GIS expert

• staff time (depending on level of detail and available raw formats)

• GIS software

• Downstream maintenance costs (outside our project)

© KC 2015 © KC 2015

For the Client

• Improved information management facilitates more efficient decision making (e.g. alignment assessment, maintenance monitoring, accident analysis and mitigation)

• Facilitates public consultation

• Spatially displays project induced risks and aids in the development of alternatives and mitigation plans

For the Public

• Visualization aids public understanding

• If available in public domain GIS data aids transparency and public acceptance

For the Designer:

• Integrated data highlight potential problems and facilitate finding design solutions

For 3rd Parties (potentially commercial)

• Ability to carry out “what if?” scenarios for e.g. warehouse location, access roads, transport planning (goods & people)

Main Benefits

© KC 2015 © KC 2015

GIS is used for over two decades, but there are still certain risks for successful implementation:

• Insufficient data available to properly use or compile the GIS

• Insufficient resources allocated for GIS development, maintenance, and upgrading of the system (follow on costs)

• Lack of communication between developers, users and beneficiaries

• Strength, but also weaknesses of GIS are often unrecognized by decision-makers
