Abstract
LRS and Enterprise GIS: A New Technology for Road Management in the Philippines
Track: Transportation and Logistics
Author(s): Luz Lagunzad, Kevin McPherson, Gregorio Macaraig
This paper discusses the enterprise GIS being implemented in the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in the Philippines and the role of GIS in the management of 28,000 kilometers of national roads and 7,000 bridges. It describes how GPS, GIS, and traditional database applications help manage the highway network through a common Locational Referencing System (LRS). The LRS and GIS help integrate all data on road and bridge inventory and condition. This information is then made available to planning, construction, and maintenance processes in DPWH through GIS-enabled client applications. Internet-based mapping service will be made available to external stakeholders in the future.
