INTRODUCTION
Geographic
Information System (GIS) is a computer based information system used to digitally represent and analyse the geographic features present on the Earth' surface and the events that taking place on it.

INTEGRATION
Planning: Identify deficiencies and determine optimal solutions. Design: Integrate GIS with most design tools, including CAD, bringing greater analytic and cost-estimation capabilities to your infrastructure design process. Survey: Manage and store GPS data and survey measurements more effectively. Construction: Integrate project and financial management software with GIS to better manage infrastructure projects. GIS can provide a single point of entry for all construction-related documents and files. Operations: Incorporate GIS into business processes to improve your operational performance. Maintenance: Easily manage disparate assets. Integrate your asset inventory with inspection history and work order management to maintain your critical investments in a cost-effective manner.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
Highway asset management: integrates asset mapping with project management and budgeting tools. Maintenance and Work Order Management: Tracking of work tasks, personnel, equipment an material usage Traffic Operations: viewing a comprehensive picture of current traffic conditions Transportation Planning: Analytical and visual tools to find balance between demand on public infrastructure and environmental sustainability.
ArcGIS gives transportation planners powerful tools for analysis and display that integrate with many traveldemand forecasting models.
Construction Management: integrated with project management and financial software, to track performance, organises survey data, soils, geotechnical studies to planning, environmental studies, engineering drawings and project maps. Transportation Safety Analysis: better visualise and understand locations with high numbers of accidents and their causes Environmental Management: Helps identify wetlands, drainage areas, and sensitive habitats as well as evaluate and manage the effects of storm water runoff on water quality. Integrates environmental factors with land-use and housing and employment density analysis to help communities address growth issues.
CASE STUDY
Transport
and urban form in thirty-two of the world's principal cities PETER W. G. NEWMAN & JEFFREY R. KENWORTHY
By
The major purpose of the study was to establish policies at the urban level for reducing transport energy use
Other questions assessed by the paperHow much variation is there in the transport and land use of the world's major cities? How closely does transport relate to land use in these cities? How does automobile usage relate to the provision of infrastructure for automobiles? Are economic factors such as income and petrol price dominant in determining transport patterns? What are the direct policy implications from the study?

Research paper on
Transportation system management for Madurai city using GIS (map India conference 2009 by,dr. S, moses )
ENTERING THIS DATA THEY FIND THE SOME STREETS WERE HIGHLY CONGESTED.
(Map before and after the introduction of one way street in Madurai)
So to solve this problem they find that some of that streets has to be made as one-way streets, with the help of the parallel streets
Analysis
shows that the overall V/C ratio is less than 0.81 for the present condition. But for the year 2007 the overall V/C ratio is greater than 1.15. Hence the long-term measures such as widening of roads and construction new roads may be implemented to reduce the congestion in the future.
