GIS-based of road infrastructure management system in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur / Muhammad Ikhtiaruddin Ab Jalil

The development and economic growth of a nation is closely related to its
available transportation system. The road infrastructure is very important in a good and
efficient road transport infrastructure facilities will promote industrial and socioeconomic
development. To provide safety and comfort to road users, a comprehensive
road maintenance schedule must be formulated and adopted to ensure those roads are
in good condition at all times. Preventive maintenance works, such as road
rehabilitation will help to reduce the major road repairs and expenditure. Prior to this,
a good database, gathered through GIS will be necessary in order to ensure maintenance
is done effectively. Geographic Information System (GIS) is said to be one of the useful
tools that can be utilized to manage database in road maintenance engineering. This
system is capable of storing, managing, analyzing, computing and displaying all forms
of geographical data for road maintenance works. The 3 dimensional visual is efficient
in order to view the graphic view of the road infrastructure. It will increase the
maintenance quality in order to make the management system of road infrastructure is
very efficient.
