Ring Road Alignment For Thuraiyur Using GIS

Abstract Design of ring road deals with the development of a comprehensive plan for Construction and operation of transportation facilities. In order to develop efficient and better transport facility, it is necessary to have a proper procedure transport movement. This ring road helps to a great extent in improving the safe and fast movement of both human and goods traffic, thereby increasing the economy of the City. The first and foremost step is reducing the traffic for the particular route by diverting the density of the vehicles to enhance the safe transport and environmental pollution. This project deals with the traffic problem of the Thuraiyur city and provides better transportation. In this project GIS is used for surveying, for preparing Contour maps, for developing three dimensional Digital Elevation Models, for various types of route alignments and for estimation of cutting and filling volumes. The purpose of this study was to develop a tool to locate a suitable less route between two points. The GIS approach using ground parameters and spatial analysis provided to achieve this goal. Raster based map analysis provide a wealth of capabilities for incorporating terrain information surrounding linear infrastructure. Costs resulting from terrain, geomorphology, land use, drainage and elevation resulting low cost estimation for implementing the shortest routes for the study area. Finally Ring road for Thuraiyur city of 20kms all around which connect the major roads of bye pass was formulated.
