2. PROJECT APPRECIATION
The project aims to develop a seamless Digital Map using the GIS
technology. The Objective and scope of the Project are:-
Objective: Create a Digital base Map of Roads and Bridges in the State of
Punjab for 9200 Kms approx:
National Highways
State Highways
District Roads
And Other District Roads
Scope includes
Spatial Data and
Aspatial data
The GIS will be capable of holding large datasets and compatible with other
existing GIS, if any in the Department. Also the Digital maps submitted on
the project completion will be entirely compatible to be transformed to an
Internet based GIS system.
The Digital Map will consist of various Geospatial datasets procured from
different governing bodies and overlayed on each other in a perfect
overlay. The Perfect overlay will be achieved with the help of an accurately
matched Projection system and coordinate system. The Projection system
in this case will be UTM WGS84 thus following the guidelines of the Map
Policy of Survey of India.

4.2 METHODOLOGY
The detailed methodology of only principal activities is described below.
1. Each 1:25000 Survey of India topo sheet shall be divided into 36 equal
parts.
2. Each part will be printed on A3 Sheet with some overlap with the
adjacent parts
3. The field staff shall be issued the necessary sheets for ground
verification after proper training and instructions.
4. The ground data marked by the staff will be entered in to the separate
copy of digitized Survey of India sheet
5. The differences in the alignment or data will be decided if the imagery
scene is required for such blocks in each sheet
6. Accordingly the scenes shall be acquired
7. The data from the imagery , field and Survey of India sheet shall be
recompiled and entered in to the system
8. This data shall be sent for final verification to the board.
9. The verified data shall be entered in the final digital maps being
prepared.
All the work being carried out by CCE under this project will be submitted
to various quality checks by the internal teams of CCE so that error if any
can be brought within the minimal permissible limits.
Various other test cases will be done to check the software performance
and reliability and these will be tested jointly by CCE and PRBDB.
Spatial data generated will be put to quality check at various steps of its
generation and Updation thus complying with the quality assured to PRBDB.
The Quality of maps and the information contained therein shall be
frequently checked to quantify the quality of the data being generated. The
field checks, as indicated elsewhere in the report as well, shall be carried
out on 15% of the data supplied by the department staff. This will ensure
that the data being built in the system us dependable, reliable and can be
used for planning and other purposes.
can help in making the project a huge success and also enhance and
achieve the overall goals set by the department from the project
implementation.
The people who maintain the system on a day to day basis shall be trained
extensively on how to use the maps and query them for productive use in
their day to day work. CCE plans to train 45 officers from PWD department
so that they are able to use the Digital maps on a day to day basis.
4.4.2 Application Operation
The Customized software interface shall be designed on the basis of ease of
use and how much technology know-how the present staffs has. The
operation of the software shall be put in the training manuals and used for
training for the staff in the middle of the project and before hand-holding
and closure period.
4.4.3 Digital Data Maintenance
As discussed above, the maintenance of the data is needed regularly to
keep it clean and usable for effective decision making. Processes and
access shall be mechanized in such a manner so as to follow a particular
procedure to update the data contained in the digital maps. Extensive
training shall be provided to the staff.
5. DESIGN STANDARDS
5.1 INTRODUCTION
5.1.1 General
The design of the project on the GIS software used will be based on some
predefined principles. The GIS software used in this project is ARCGIS, hence the
design standards to be followed will be based on the principles laid down by ESRI.
These Specific guidelines will be followed for the data arrangement and layer
management. ARCGIS facilitates a GIS expert in various methods for creation of
perfect maps which are ready for implementation on various other platforms.
Layers arrangement in GIS is the first step towards a specific theme of the map to
be developed. The gis data has to be arranged in such a way that It facilitates
easier access through custom queries and better data access.
These layers in Arcmap (arcgis) reference to datasets residing in the computers
file system. The layers are independent of datasets, they are simply linked
through their Source property. In a sense, these layer files are another sort of
metadata that helps us to explain data to others.
Topology basically refers the relationship between things, and in the realm of GIS,
Topology refers to the relationship between spatial features or objects. In terms
of functionality, topology is important to GIS in (at least) three important ways:
Topology can be used to create datasets with better quality control and
greater data integrity. Topology rules can be created so that edits made to
a dataset can be 'validated' and show errors in that dataset. An example
would be the creation of a new manhole/sewer access feature outside a
polygon dataset of road features.
Tabular Datasets which are acquired from some field survey or are supplied from
some accumulated log files and has to be attached to the GIS for query purposes
can be connected to a GIS with the help of a Joins and Relations.
Join in ArcGIS appends the attributes of the non-spatial table to the spatial
(layer) attribute table.
Use relate when you have a very large non-spatial table and you don't need
all the attributes in the table.
Therefore in our case a Join is preferred to attach the data arriving from the field
survey and departmental records. Since the records to be attached will satisfy the
1: Many relationships for Join condition, the Join method will be adopted.
5.1.2.5.1 Symobology
Classes of symbols
Qualitative Symbology
Varying certain graphic characteristics can depict features that are qualitatively
different (e.g., show different soil types or illustrate the extents of different
regions in a state). The graphic characteristics that are responsible for such
displays are color, shape, texture, orientation, and placement. The order of these
characteristics is irrelevant.
Quantitative Symbology
5.1.2.5.2 Annotation
In cartography, text or graphics on a map that provide information for the map
reader. Annotation may identify or describe a specific map entity, provide general
information about an area on the map, or supply information about the map itself.
It has been known that people look at a point called the visual center when they
first stare at a visual graphic. This point does not coincide with the geometric
center of the map. In fact, it is higher than the geometric center by about five
percent of the height of the map. This means that you should place the most
important element of your map centered at that location.
Visual balance is achieved by manoeuvring the positions of the different map
elements, such as the north arrow, the scale bar, textual information, and so on,
so the map generally looks visually balanced. So, if the map body is placed
centred at the visual center, then the other map elements are placed around the
map body and visually balanced.
Some map elements can be ignored in a map if other map elements or features
can substitute for it. For example, a north arrow is redundant if you have
neatlines shown with coordinate labels such as latitude and longitude; a north
arrow and a scale bar are both redundant if you are depicting the population of
the state of Punjab in, say, a book on demographic statistics; and a scale bar can
be redundant if neatlines are shown with the proper coordinate system and units.
Legend depicts the layers in a map, the arrangement of the layers and the
Symobolgy they represent. Therefore a basic cartographic principle is to follow a
specific legend Symobology in context to the Symbology adopted in the map
windows.
Map scale is the relationship between distance on a map and the distance on the
earth's surface. The map scale in this case will be the scale as per the data
procured i.e 1:25000 this scale can in turn be dynamically changed by the
software itself as the user needs.
This project aims to centralise all the information collected from various agencies
in a central Geodatabase. The Geodatabase in this case will be a personal
Geodatabase using an MS Office - Access based database file.
