Creation of Urban Road Networking System Using Geoinformatics

Abstract

Introduction: The current road network arrangement in the majorityof India's big centers cannot accommodate the country's growing transport demand. In this situation, making better use of the current road network is necessary. The structural criteria, such as connection, accessibility, hierarchy, and morphology be examined and do needed assessment to provide the best use of the current road network.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the connectivity of Guntur City's road network in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

Methods: The connectivity measurement is quantified by calculating the indices like alpha, beta, gamma index, eta, aggregate transportation score, andcyclomatic number, various locations in Guntur City were taken into consideration. To calculate the connection measures, one-kilometer radius buffer zones were generated from the centre of each location.This studyresults may serve as a reference for the city's planning of transportation authority as they assess the degree of connection at every place and develop more effective planning strategies to raise the city's overall connectedness.

Results: Urban transportation planning can make better decisions by utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Conclusions: Additionally, the current study attempted to demonstrate the effectiveness of GIS in analyzing the transport network structure's connectivity-based performance in the research area.
