Spatial Database Model for Transport Management Using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in Tigray, Ethiopia
Abstract: Transportation management and planning is a thought-provoking task to many developing countries, due to limited financial and technical resources. This is a critical problem too in Ethiopia, in Adwa city particular. The current road transportation in Adwa is not well managed, mainly because of lack of appropriate organization and access of up-to-date geo-information, leading to unhurried and depressed decision making. Due to the rapid expansion and urbanization developments in Adwa, …

Land Use/Land Cover Assessment of Tamil Nadu Coast, India using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques
Abstract: Land use/land cover (LULC) mapping and monitoring has a significant role for regional planning, environmental and resource management towards sustainable management. The present study has been carried out for assessment of land use/land cover change in coastal districts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry during last three decades. The study illustrated an integrated approach of remote sensing and GIS techniques to assess dynamic land use/cover in the coastal zone and estimate …

AOD Retrieval Over Different LULC Features Using AWiFS Data—A Case Study Over Dehradun
Abstract: In this study, an attempt is made to estimate the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) using a physically based radiative transfer model i.e. SMART (Simple Model for Atmospheric Radiative Transfer) over different LULC features. The forward procedure requires the data from Band B2: 0.52-0.59 μm of Resourcesat-2 Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS). While some of the atmospheric parameters, through transmittance, spherical albedo have been parameterized, few of them are utilized from …
