Tripoli city is one of the most crowded cities in Libya, where the population is more than one million habitants, which make the connection operation between outskirts and city center with high importance from the economical and social sides.
The roads are considered as the vertebral column for the connection mean into the city, consequently the traffic causes a crowd in some points of the city center because of population density. Accordingly the decisions makers at roads authority execute the drawing and planning of new roads construction at Tripoli city in order to reduce the crowd through the construction of join roads without passing through the center in order to avoid the crowd resulted to the city center. However, During the execution of these drawings and planning, there are many aspects will be eliminated such as buildings, trees..etc which causes material losses because of the constructional expansion in the city center and in outskirts resulted to population increasing.
In this paper, High resolution satellite data and GPS data will be used for mapping the plans of aspects and paths for the new roads construction and geographical Information systems will be used in the operations of statistical analysis in order to study the volume and the cost of the aspects that will be eliminated due to selection for these new paths. Finally, virtual reality and 3D visual samples for these variables will be produced.
