The correct answer is
analyse traffic patterns and optimise signal timings
GIS (Geographic Information System) in urban planning integrates spatial and attribute data for analysis and decision-making. One of its primary applications is:
- Traffic analysis: Overlaying road network data, traffic volume counts, accident data, and population density to identify congestion points and optimise signal timing
- Land use planning and zoning
- Infrastructure mapping and utility management
- Environmental impact assessment
GIS is not used to calculate concrete cost per unit or determine building colors or vehicle weights directly.
