METHODS RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

• Spatial data acquired by: • Road surface conditions

1) Field method were determined
2) Remote Sensing method
• Since we can acquire
3) Combination of RS and GIS
regularly the remote
• Satellite imageries from
sensing data (satellite
Quickbird imagery of 2006
from National Population images), hence, monitoring
Commission of Nigeria and assessment of road
 Ground truthing: locations conditions at any time is
were checked and verified possible.
 Georeferencing: to be in the
same coordinate system.
• Data gathered- input in GIS
 • Remote sensing- for
satellite image
• GIS- digitized roads and
overlaid on satellite imagery
• Therefore, road can be
monitored and
maintenance can be
planned.
• Created database (name of
road, type, condition, etc.
• Therefore, satellite images
can capture wider or more
information about roads
than actual field surveys
and situations will be
assisted.
 Recommendation

Recommendation for agencies in line

with road design and maintenance to
use GIS and Remote Sensing was
beneficial since collected spatial data
and satellite images provides
information showing damages in
specified road.
