Development of the WebGIS application for transport infrastructure management in the city of Serang

Abstract

Congestion has become a common problem in urban. The road growth-rate is always slower than vehicles. City mayor around the world already understands and try to find breakthroughs. Unfortunately, the settlement is often partial and ignore the spatial analysis. This paper seeks to solve urban transport problem in urban with information technology and spatial analysis. The research began with a survey of public transport routes, a review of the transport regulation, one-way road arrangement study followed by WebGIS Development. This application is a multi-tier client-server architecture consisting of the client-side, the server-side, and the data directory that stored in the VPS (Virtual Private Server). The client-side is powered by HTML-5, which is assisted by the API (Application Programming Interface) from several open-source online mapping. Standard performance test of the application has been set, and every menu is well functioned. Every data on the transport infrastructure could be gathered and stored on the web. Furthermore, every transport planning on the city should refer to this transport information system. Thus, WebGIS becomes online surveillance system for land use.
