Roadways buses have started operating services on 154 new routes which have been opened by PMGSY roads.

ROMAPS (Road Maintenance Planning Budgeting and Programming System) : It has been developed to assist Engineers in all aspects of road maintenance planning and management. It helps in analysing road inventory & pavement surface condition Inventory and condition data can be entered on annual basis. ROMAPS Maintain Inventory & Condition data Prepares Routine Maintenance Estimates Prepare Prioritized Work Schedule Prepares Periodic Maintenance plan ROMAPS assist in : 24

Progress Achieved ROMAPS has been installed in all 33 districts. The work was awarded to M/s Roughton International UK in JV with Consulting Engineers Group amounting to Rs. 279,51,000/ plus US$ 178,480. Data collection has been completed for 62500 Km. Pavement inventory has been verified for 750 Km. International Roughness Index (IRI) using ROMDAS has already been completed in 32 districts for 6200 Km. Training of ROMAPS has been completed for all districts. Annual maintenance plans for the year 2009-10 will be generated using ROMAPS.

Development of Customised GIS GRIMMS-S: GIS Enabled Road Information Management Monitoring System GIS interface to the OMMS database of PMGSY Provides linking of maps with existing OMMS database for planning, programming, budgeting and monitoring of rural roads Provides customized stand-alone user interface to handle complex queries

Development of Web GIS Web version of GRIMMS allows user to use GIS on Rural road database Citizens can access GRIMMS Web Provides transparency under Right to Information Act Requires no installation of any specific computer hardware at user end Multiple users can access rural road maps simultaneously User can seek responses to various predefined queries
