Bhutan e-Government Master Plan GlS-based digitized road network map for the whole country to provide online road condition information to road users on day-to-day basis. The information on location of road highlighted blocks and estimated on the map. The digitized inventory data such surface crash and as road is black-topped time of clearing road map could geometric features (e.g. also culverts on the road digitized network. information Information blocks could include be other road road width, whether etc.), location of retaining walls, barriers etc. Similarly, road breast walls, could road parapets, be collected for bridges on bridges could include type of bridge (concrete, steel etc.), load capacity, width of bridge carriageway etc. In the GPS 11FYP, DoR equipment 2005/2006. plans to collect additional to include new roads road that inventory have To minimize cost of data collection, been DoR information using constructed after engineers in regional field offices will be deployed for data collection after imparting 3-4 day’s training on the use of GPS equipment. They will develop a database which will store the GIS maps and data on blockages etc, which could be pulled by land hub. To avoid the need to procure equipments new sets of from the National GPS equipment, Land it is Commission proposed (NLC). to hire GPS The additional digitized data collected by DoR will be submitted to the NLC with the request to process the data and over the produce Cadastral compelled to understand GlS-based maps). outsource that infrastructure NLC facilities digitized If NLC the has while road declines work to a also collected carrying network to DoR’s local GIS land for DoR request, DoR might be It is given to consultant. most out map of the data cadastral (layered on survey existing in the 20 Dzongkhags.
