TRANSPORTATION NETWORK MODEL FOR ROUTE AND CLOSEST FACILITY ANALYSIS IN CENTRAL BENGALURU

ABSTRACT It is necessary to find out the best traversing route between any two places within an area for making travel easy and faster to everyone even if the routes to reach desired locations are unknown. Due to the increase in utilities and facilities all over an area, it is also necessary to find out the closest facility or utility to reach from a specific location at any point of time whenever required. The aim of this paper is to use Network Analysis module of Arc GIS to evaluate the best routes and closest facility on a route network. The selected study area is the Central part of Bengaluru in the state of Karnataka. The results are used to find out the optimum route to reach a facility at any given point of time.
