USE OF GIS-T IN TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS FOR A NEW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Qatar, an emirate on the Arabian Peninsula, recently approved major infrastructure projects, including seaport expansion, upgrading of primary roads, and construction of a large new international airport to serve Qatar's direct world-wide transportation links. A comprehensive highway development program includes the CED/GIS Pilot Project for Roads - involving strategic planning and data acquisition for a decision and operations support system. This effort is supported by a nationwide digital base and road mapping program carried out by The Centre for GIS (CGIS), recipient of the 1992 URISA award for Exemplary Systems in Government. The Centre coordinates development of satellite systems in ten client agencies, including the planning and civil engineering departments (CED) of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Agriculture (MMAA).
