Applications of Geographic Information System - Part 6

Studies on Traffic Density: The management of traffic issues can be done efficiently using GIS. Both the population and the amount of traffic on the roads today are growing tremendously. The benefits of GIS make it a desirable solution for dealing with escalating traffic issues. We will be given the graphical larger picture for traffic management by building a large database with all the traffic information, such as speed data, road geometry, traffic flow, and other geographical data, and processing this information.

Pest Management and Control: Agricultural production benefits from pest management. A rise in weed and pest populations may cause crop productivity to decline. GIS is crucial in mapping out infected areas as a result. This results in the creation of a plan for weed and pest management.

Mapping the Forest Fire Hazard Zone: One of nature's most significant components is the forest. In terms of the local climate, it is significant. Our towns and base of natural resources have suffered significant harm as a result of forest fires. Mapping the forest fire hazard zones and estimating loss are both tasks that can be successfully accomplished with GIS. GIS may also be used to monitor fire risk areas in real-time. A GNSS and satellite remote sensing system are used to do this.

Selection of a Reservoir Site: A suitable location for the dam is found using GIS. The goal of GIS is to determine the best placement in relation to natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Economic, social, engineering, and environmental issues are all taken into account while determining the best dam site. The GIS has layers for all of this information.

Rangeland Resources Monitoring: GIS is a useful tool for tracking rangeland resource changes and assessing their effects on the environment, livestock, and wildlife. The conditions of the rangeland must be carefully observed and measured to determine any changes. Monitoring ecological and seasonal rangeland conditions is another use for GIS.

GIS for Ocean and Fisheries Industries: Data on the water is enhanced and made more useful using GIS technologies. A fisheries assessment and management system uses ArcGIS to gather spatial data. The ocean business makes great use of it, and we receive precise information about a variety of commercial activities. for the purpose of improving fishing sector cost minimization. The site of illicit fishing operations can also be found using this method.
