Integration of GIS (Geographic Information System) with a precise positioning system and real-time traffic monitoring technology can identify the exact location of the vehicle and the problem on a motorway and also can present them. Moreover, with the support of the visualization tools like GIS e-maps, the user can without any difficulty understand the current traffic condition, the vehicles' spatial distribution, and the exact location of the incident. Besides the accuracy of traffic management that is improved by the integration, the provision of more accurate and efficient decision-making for dealing with emergencies is also the result of this integration.
GIS, in addition, is a great tool for the police in the management of traffic. Incorporating the mapping of local heavy goods vehicle distribution with data for providing a large-scale understanding of the operation of both locally registered and non-local heavy goods vehicles from the four perspectives of road network operations, vehicle distribution patterns, territorial coverage, and traffic violations, it is very powerful. Moreover, it provides the live feed of the nationwide distribution of locally registered vehicles, thus the concerned authorities can perform supervisory work at a macro level efficiently and effortlessly. The utilization of GIS mapping along with the movement paths of heavy goods vehicles means that the system intricately merges road and vehicle data in the four dimensions of the road network operations, vehicle distribution patterns, road congestion, and traffic flow. This empowers the Traffic Police Corps not only to monitor the operational status of the main highways and analyze heavy goods vehicle conditions in their respective areas but also to provide the platoons with the necessary instruments for effective and convenient supervision at the macro level.
Besides, GIS plays a key role in the emergency response of public transport infrastructure. Various attempts have been made within the country to build GIS-based additional decision-support systems for emergency drill simulations. Using GIS technologies, Tang Fangqin developed in 2009 the virtual reality prototype system AutoEscape. The system incorporates the digital visualization module, the virtual reality graphics platform, the evacuation calculation engine, and the fire scene simulation module. The fire scene simulation module is created based on FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator), a fire numerical simulation software, while VGA virtual scenes are applied to create the virtual reality graphics platform.
During an emergency, the central monitoring management system provides a GIS-based map and video integration platform. This platform works with large-screen surveillance systems and other systems and, therefore, can present the safety data and video footage from different parts of the tunnel in the fastest way. This not only gives the early disaster warning and sounding but also lets the disaster control be carried out at the right time.
