| Abstract |
Smart cities are a planned future for all Indian cities, big and small. This requires the proper design of surface transportation systems. Modern technologies are required to develop and create national and express highways, as well as to connect internal roads. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) might improve any country's or city's transportation systems. Today, people often use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to study and manipulate spatially-oriented data for effective traffic management. This review demonstrates how to study road transport networks using GIS technology. The Katol Region is a heavily populated region in Egypt, making it difficult to find certain places, especially during times of crisis. The capacity to react swiftly and efficiently to life-threatening circumstances is the most critical component of any emergency response system (ERS), whether for fire, police, or healthcare. The primary goal of this article is to provide an enhanced network analysis that uses GIS capabilities to determine the best route for healthcare service providers in the Katol metropolitan area to travel from an incident location. According to the conclusions of this article, the optimal route improved travel time by 22% when compared to the shortest route. In times of crisis, arriving quickly at the site of an accident is critical to saving lives. As a result, this paper demonstrated that in emergency situations, particularly in a heavily populated city like, the GIS best route algorithm outperforms the shortest route technique. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025. |
