The objective of this study is to improve the performance in the Highway Facilities Inspection supporting System (HI-FIS), which have been developed by ourselves since 1993, for executing the effective inspection work. As for the feature of this system, various kinds of information related to the maintenance of road are managed in unitary with the distance mark (K.P data) corresponded to the video image. For calculating the K.P data accurately, the GPS (Grobal Positioning System) was applied to the HI-FIS as a new function. The effectiveness applying GPS are as follows: 1) The simplification of operating for highway facilities inspection on board a car was achieved. 2) The video library on the inspection of road facilities could be producted efficiently. 3) Furthermore, the high precision of refering the information on highway facilities was obtained. As a new application of GPS, this study contributed to the development of image database system dealing with video image as well as stationary images for supporting the maintenance and management of road.
