Remote Sensing and geographic information system (GIS) Applications in Highway Designing
In today's Indian scenario there is a major shift in transportation system from railways towards the road sector. This has forced the Government of India to facilitate development of roads and highways. terrain analysis may be considered as the prime requisite in the planning phase for providing an insight to the engineers regarding the landform features to overcome the potential engineering problems. the spatial baseline information could be generated through terrain analysis and classification with morphogenetic approach using Remote Sensing data. Space borne Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems are the most modern tool for generating the spatial data with temporal changes and following integration and analysis of the aspatial data to result on better startegies. The Activity Flow Chart is:

Application of fuzzy logic, GIS and remote sensing to the assessment of environmental factors for extensive brackishwater aquaculture
Despite its huge potential, the application of GIS and remote sensing in spatial assessment has tended to focus on Boolean (Crisp) logic. The integration of the fuzzy logic techniques into GIS and remote sensing technology has generated more robust mapping protocols in aquaculture. The soil assessment was easily possible, the hydrological study focused on investigating important wave parameters. fuzzy-based classification methods, integrated into the image analysis, was highly effective in identifying existing and potential pond areas. The models developed in this study were shown to work well in both study sites and can be applied elsewhere.The maps produced were easily readable even by layman.
GIS and Remote Sensing in urban transportation planning
Objectives:
A)To draw accurate maps showing existing bus routes and bus stops in the study area.
b)To recommend modification schemes to certain routes or stops depending on the level of adequacy in both facilities
c)To evaluate the adequacy of bus routes and bus stops for the residents of the region.
The Data:
Urban planners use GIS both as a spatial database and as an analysis and modelling tool. Its applications vary according to different stages, levels, sectors, and functions of urban planning. GIS becoming an operational and affordable information system for planning. general administration, development ,building control, and plan making etc are some other applications of GIS. Mapping provides the most powerful visualisation tools in GIS. It can be used to explore the distribution of socioeconomic and environmental data, and display the results of spatial analysis and modelling exercises.
