Abstract :
This paper presents a Geographic Information System (GIS) based Short-term Transportation System Management (TSM) measures for reducing traffic congestion. Short-term TSM measures such as (i) One-way Street System, (ii) Intersection Improvement (iii) Parking Management System and (iv) Restriction of Truck Movement in CBD Area are considered in this study. Many applications of GIS in Transportation Planning/Engineering are being carried out recently in India.
