Prioritizing Road Maintenance Activities using GIS Platform and Vb.net
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
One of the most important factors for the sustainable development of any country is the quality and efficiency of its transportation system. The principled and accurate maintenance of roads, in addition to having a major impact on budget savings, improves the quality and service levels of the transportation system. For this reason, road management and maintenance are the main pillars of the transportation system in any country. Nowadays, due to the increased cost of maintaining roads and the lack of funding in this area, traditional ways of managing and maintaining roads, which are more based on the experience of the experts themselves, are no longer affordable. Hence, more recent, and more systematic methods have become more popular among relevant authorities. Afghanistan is a country facing problems such as budget deficits, lack of professional experts and advanced technology in road maintenance sector. This paper presents an example of using the GIS platform and vb.net to prioritize the road maintenance and rehabilitation activities based on identified criteria. A case study conducted in an academic environment and road maintenance and rehabilitation activities prioritized. The results show that the positive criterion has the greatest impact on the ranking of road maintenance activities. The characteristic of this process is to help the decision makers to plan road maintenance requirements to effectively and efficiently allocate funds for future planning.
