The transportation system plays a prominent role in the urban spatial structure. It is the main social-economy operation of the city. Transport planning is a complex process requiring meticulous forecasting of potential needs and review of current urban travel trends. Sustainable development is enabled by successful route planning and accessibility. The GIS-based Network Analyst allows users to dynamically model realistic network conditions at various times of the day, including turn restrictions, speed limits, and traffic conditions. A GIS can be used to monitor the transport system, network conditions, the shortest or best route to the destination, and the closest services. The main purpose of this paper is to provide an enhanced road network analysis that uses the capabilities of GIS to identify the fastest as well as the shortest route between the two busiest hubs in Guwahati city. A basemap of the city is downloaded using the QuickMapServices plugin. The network analyses such as routing and nearest facility are carried out in this project using various plugins available in QGIS. The points of origin and destination were chosen to address the network in order to decide the shortest path as well as the fastest path and to serve the purpose of the analysis. The study would raise awareness of the potential for data collection, management, and analysis of geographical information technology. It will allow them to access low-cost technology and freeware solutions to operate in GIS for decision-making purposes. It will highlight the gaps and restrictions impacting the use of GIS in the transport planning field for the responsible offices to deal with.
