Abstract: Road network plays a vital role in progress of any country of its sustainable development. Recently, digital road network mapping has become a vital tool for prompting and evaluating the road network. Due to the increase of utilities of roads, network analysis helps in finding superlative road network connectivity and solving routing problems. In this study, an attempt is made to give an imminent on evaluation of digital road network for the management of various services in Amaravati capital city of Andhra Pradesh, India. The satellite images (Landsat-8, world view-2), master plan of city is used for attaining centerline for the data analysis and arc-gis network tool is used to optimized the path of connectivity. The study findings show the possibility of query for possible alternative routes, in case of emergency, heavy traffic to access to the nearest facility depending on road network. This will helped in defining the closest facility for hospitals, optimal service area analysis for schools depending on time and distance. This type of study will helpful in developing country, where traffic is raising at very higher rate and transportation network analysis will help to solve vehicle routing problems automatically.
