English Abstract

The main objective of this study is to use the powerful Geographic information system and remote sensing to generate a geometric network for street in Khartoum center, for the purpose of management of the street network with in transportation system of the city and replanning the street classification within world stander to facilitate the traffic motion. The data used in this research work was satellite image from Google earth and digital map from Ministry of Infrastructure, Department of Roads and Bridges. The present research work comes to the conclusions that the Powerful geometric network and street replanning have been designed and manipulated for the study area, within the GIS environmental the geodatabase with dataset and feature classes have been created to represent the reality of the geographic features in the study area. The replanning for streets within the new classification facilitates the traffic motion on the study area and the GIS model in the application of the geometric network has been subjected to different cases to evaluate their potentiality for meeting the essential requirements. The model shows great flexibility and powerful management facilities in production solutions for the real world problems concerning the traffic flow direction and motion distribution, such as the best route and the closest facility. The developed model is dynamic, so it could be modified, updated and subjected to further query processes among the study area.
