Abstract
In recent time, one of the developmental issues of concern in Ilaro town is road management. Consequent upon the limited road resources, the influx of people and goods in and out of the town has increased travel time especially in times of emergency situations. It is against this backdrop that this work aimed at using shortest route algorithm in Arc GIS to address the challenges associated with road management and emergency situation in Ilaro township The dataset used in this work involves both the spatial (road network, emergency service centres, accident spots and fire incidence spots) and attribute data (road names, road distance, road status and road classification such as dual carriage way and single carriage way). This paper reveals clearly the shortest route to hospital and fire stations from accidents spots and fire incidence spots. Consequently therefore, it will assist emergency service providers in their responses to road related distress call using the cut edge technological tools rendered by GIS.
