Development of an effective road management system using web-GIS software

Recently, there has been rapid development of road transportation networks. This situation arises due to the number of vehicles on the road that keeps increasing year by year. Thus, this will increase the possibility of dangerous situations to road users if the roads are not being maintained appropr...
