Coimbatore, one of the fastest-growing urban and industrial centres in Tamil Nadu, has been experiencing rapid expansion in population, economic activities, and vehicle ownership. This rapid growth has significantly increased travel demand and placed heavy pressure on the city’s road infrastructure. As congestion continues to rise, the need for a well-planned and integrated ring road system has become essential to support smooth traffic movement and sustainable urban development.Currently, Coimbatore faces severe traffic congestion due to rapid urbanization and industrial growth. The absence of a continuous and functional ring road forces regional and freight traffic to pass through the city core, leading to overcrowded roads and inefficient circulation. This results in longer travel times, increased fuel consumption, higher pollution levels, and greater accident risks. In addition, existing road development strategies are often uncoordinated and lack integration of spatial traffic data and land-use patterns. The present infrastructure has not kept pace with urban expansion, making it inadequate to handle growing mobility demands. To address these challenges, this study proposes an integrated ring road design using GIS-based traffic flow analysis and smart infrastructure planning. The methodology incorporates multiple spatial and analytical components. Land Use Land Cover (LULC) analysis is carried out using satellite imagery to understand the distribution of built-up areas, vegetation, water bodies, and barren land, which helps in identifying suitable and restricted zones for road alignment. Traffic volume data is collected and analysed to identify congestion hotspots and major traffic corridors, ensuring that the proposed ring road effectively diverts heavy and through traffic.
