A Basic Framework for Evaluation of Rural Road Network Conditions
Abstract: Evaluation of rural road condition has been extensively used as an effective means to support decision-making on investment and management of rural road in both developed and developing countries. Distresses in the form of surface defects, cracks, deformation, disintegration, are common on rural roads. Rural roads must be maintained to provide safe, efficient fast and economic vehicle operations. Evaluation of conditions is recognized as essential requirements for effective maintenance management …

Development of A Systematic Strategy for Maintenance of Rural Road Network
Abstract: The lack of year round access to many rural communities is a serious constraint to social and economic development of rural road. Poor access limits the effectiveness of agricultural, commercial, educational and health initiatives though unreliable travel and high unit transport costs for crops, goods, services and people.. However, experiences have shown that these roads, although relatively cheap to construct, are often an unsustainable maintenance burden for many rural communities …

Wireless Sensor Network Based Road Traffic Monitoring in Hilly Terrains
Abstract: AbstractIn the hilly terrains tree falling is a natural phenomenon, also river/canals overflowing in rainy season always disturb the free movement of traffic. Eventually there will be narrow roads in the hilly terrains. Traffic block occurs due this reason can be easily occurred. These incidents block the roads for several hours. Authorities are always informed much later and precious hours are spent on the roads by public. To avoid this, …

Computation of Remaining Serviceable Life (RSL) of Bituminous Concrete (BC) Surfaced Road Sections using Hdm-4 Model
Abstract: The road network is the basic component that facilitates free movement of traffic from one area to another. The road sections are constructed to facilitate traffic for their entire design life. Due to the insufficient maintenance and rehabilitation activities, road section deteriorates rapidly and rapid deterioration results in entire road section damage prior to its design life. This paper presents the methodology for computing remaining serviceable life (RSL) in years …

Managing Pavement Settlement Risk: Impact of Waterlogging and Soil Conditions
Abstract: In the context of road infrastructure, the occurrence of waterlogging due to rainfall can have significant repercussions. Rainwater often infiltrates the road surface and, depending on factors such as the depth of the foundation and the extent of penetration into the ground, can lead to the soil beneath the road becoming either moist or saturated. This, in turn, can result in a reduction of the soil's bearing capacity. When vehicles …

Economical Analysis of Lime and Fly Ash Stabilized Flexible Pavements
Abstract: India is experiencing tremendous growth in infrastructure including road network and highways. Roads are to be designed with good reliability to fulfill the long-term performance during the design period. Most of the time flexible pavements in India need to be constructed on problematic subgrade soil. Such subgrades have low California bearing ratio which leads to more pavement thickness. Decrease in availability of suitable sub-base and base course materials for highway …
