rcapturing, managing, analyzing, anddisplaying all forms ofgeographically referenced

information.GIS allows us to view,understand, question, interpret, and visualize data

in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps,

globes, reports, and charts.

A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a

way that is quickly understood and easily shared.GIS technology can be integrated

into any enterprise information system framework.

GIS is a very handy tool regarding analysis indifferentfields.

y Governmenty Education and Sciencey Environmental Management and Conservation y Natural Resourcesy Utilities

Especially it has its great significance regarding engineering related fields. A very

useful work has beendone intransportation, water resources, landuse,hydrology

etc.

As far as this project is related the GIS was considered the best tool which could

propose new routes from Peshawar City while considering different parameters.

2.2ESRI ArcGIS 9.3People are using ArcGIS in all types oforganizations to improve their workflows and

solve their most challenging issues.

ArcGIS helps you with

y Asset/data managementincluding systems integration, claims/casemanagement, service/territory area management, and constituent/customer

management

y Planning and analysis such as forecasting and risk analysisy Business operations such as call center/dispatching; monitoring andtracking;

fielddata collection; inspections, maintenance andoperations; and routing

y Situational awareness including decision support and customer/public access

2.3RELATED STUDIES ON TRANSPORTATION PLANNINGTransportation professionals the worldover have discovered and embraced GIS as

an importanttool in managing, planning, evaluating, and maintaining transportation

systems.

GIS for Transportation is used by the American AssociationofState Highway and

Transportation Officials,has beenusedfor diverse purposes:

y From modeling travel demand20 years inthe future totracking a snowplowy From analyzing the annual capital improvement plans to identifying noise

regulation violations around airports

y From improving transit service throughout rejuvenatedurban centers toplanning scenic byways in recreational areas

Several studies relatedtothis field are available at ESRI website, some ofthem are

as following.

4.2 PLANNINGThe planning and conceptual designofthe transportation routes were started when

all the data was collected. This phase includedthe adoptionofbest possible way to

utilize ArcGIS 9.3 to accomplishthe objectives ofthe project.

4.3 ANALYSIS (STEP BY STEP)Following were the steps followedto meetthe objective ofthe project.

1. The map ofPakistan was geo-referenced in ArcGIS 9.3 suchthat every point atthemap has correct latitude and longitude while the projection system usedfor the

map was WGS_1984.

Figure 5: Geo-referenced Map of Pakistan

2. The existing routes and cities that are covered by Daewoo Express service weredigitizedonthe map andthe data given intable 1 was addedtothe existing cities

and routes layers.

Figure 6:Map Showing All the cities covered from Peshawar

3. The routes were characterized intotwo layers i.e Luxury routes andVIP routes.

6. The population concentrationfor different cities was presented inthe form ofgraduateddot symbols onthe map.

7. The new routes were selectedonthe basis ofcities whose population was lyingabove the lower thresholdofpopulationofthe existing cities population served

by the Daewoo Express service and by also considering the importance ofthat

city.

5 RECOMMENDATIONDaewoo Express service should cover the new routes proposed by the study to

facilitate the customers andthey shoulduse GIS as a tool for their future planning.

GIS can be very effective tool notonly for planning but can serve many purposes for

the organization.
