A Road Information System (RIS) has been developed as a component of Road Information and Management System (RIMS) for Dehradun urban agglomeration with the main objective to obtain accurate, up-to-date roadway information which may result in reduced travel time. It provides road information, like geographical location, wayside amenities like petrol pumps, police stations and chowkis, fire stations, government offices, hospital, schools and professional institutes etc, road inventory, traffic load etc. The geospatial techniques make the process of data collection and analyses easy, faster and economical. This paper outlines the data requirement for the development of RIS.
