Utilizing GIS Application to Evaluate Speed Calming Types in Nassiriya City

Abstract

"Traffic calming" refers to the practice of reducing the amount of accidents on the road via the use of physical design measures and other methods. The goal is to decrease excessive speeding and other potentially dangerous driving practices in residential areas. The construction of speed bumps is one of the most efficient methods of limiting the speed of moving vehicles while simultaneously improving public safety. A field survey of the road network in Nasiriyah and its surrounding facilities was carried out, in addition to a comprehensive data collection that was used in the GIS program (ArcMap 10.7) to produce maps showing the different types of bumps and the mechanism by which they are distributed in Nasiriyah, taking into consideration the facilities and surrounding structures, as well as the facilities themselves. Ultimately, it was determined that the short bump is a centralized and most appropriate bump for the Nasiriyah road network due to the ease with which it can be obtained. Furthermore, it is regarded to be less costly than other types of bumps. The nature of the study areas roadways and service center make the usage of short bumps a more appropriate solution. Utilizing bumps to calm traffic in the city of Nasiriyah enhances the reality of the streets as well as adds civilized touches to the roadways and helps to clear the city of slums by using the proper kinds in the suitable places at the appropriate time.
