摘要：Advancements in the field of Geo-Informatics and Space Technology has made available huge amount of remotely sensed data. The challenge here lies in exploring the data and extracting useful information from it. This paper proposes a useful, cost effective and simple solution for identification of road accident prone areas in Ludhiana, where medical, police and fire brigade facilities are not in close proximity. Precious human lives can be saved by proper management of resources and facilities. Google Maps has used to do the proximity analysis. The accident prone area list has been acquired from the Punjab Police website. The analyst requires only a simple computer connected to the internet, he/she need not procure high resolution satellite data or a sophisticated GIS (Geographic Information system).
