Road infrastructure in countries like India is expanding at a rapid pace and is becoming increasingly difficult for authorities to identify and fix the bad roads in time. Current Geographical Information Systems (GIS) lack information about on-road features like road surface type, speed breakers and dynamic attribute data like the road quality. Hence there is a need to build road monitoring sys...

Previous studies suggest roadkill may not be evenly distributed among species or within species due to life history characteristics. We examine published data on mammalian roadkill surveys conducted in North America for a relationship between diet type, body size and roadkill frequency. Eight studies with comparable methods are used in the analysis for a combined survey mileage of 224,354 km th...

this paper addresses a multi-criteria decision based methodology to develop a road network cost function for route finding analysis in a geographic information system (gis). over the years, several studies relating to route planning process in gis and intelligent transportation systems (its) have been conducted, most of which rely on the use of one-dimensional variables like distance or time as...
