Abstract

Road widening is the solution for the problem of traffic density and road accidents, transportation infrastructure is the ever green problem facing all over the world, as day by day with the growth of economic status the people are switched to use four wheelers from two wheeler vehicles, the roads at present are mean for the capacity of the present situation, as the traffic density increases the improvements in road infrastructure and widening of roads are required. We concentrated on the different road widening problems and solutions carried out and mainly focused on the Mysore Bantwal Road (SH-88). The need of this research is to design Road transport model to ensure safe and effective moment of traffic. We even discussed different principles, policies and procedures of the design standards and guidelines. The major aim is to reduce economic losses and to improve capabilities for overlay design that are provided to meet today’s highway traffic needs. Finally we used IIT PAVE software for calculating fatigue and rutting performance criteria.

Highlights

  • Transportation Infrastructure shows the economic growth and status of country’s development

  • The widened Portion is calculated based on the mechanistic flexible pavement design carried out as per IRC 37-2012 and design is intended with flexibility of the pavement, Pavement Evaluation and strengthening of pavement

  • It is observed from data that average daily traffic (ADT) in PCU/day is more than the IRC recommended for capacity per day of 2 lane for plain ruralroad

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Transportation Infrastructure shows the economic growth and status of country’s development. The designs and structures of Road Transport Infrastructure reduces the Road accidents and traffic Jams. The growths of four wheelers are increasing day by day, to face the present situations and estimation of feature, the solution is the Road Widening, for the improvement of traffic performance [1]. For the Road widening, the existing traffic volume study carried out and compared with design standard. The failure is of structural type, if the pavement fails to carry design loads. It is of functional type, if it does not give a smooth riding surface, which in turn increases vehicle operation. The maintenance engineering should carryout structural evaluation studies periodically, based on the design period time, under given static and dynamic loads once the pavement is evaluated [3]
