The Egnatia highway, a modern closed motorway 670 kilometres long, is one of the largest road construction projects in Europe, running across Northern Greece. In order to record and analyze the spatial and environmental effects that inevitably the Egnatia highway has caused to its surroundings, the need for effective and efficient integration of land cover dynamic information is becoming more a...

Pavement surface deflection of a highway is a primary factor for evaluating the pavement strength of a flexible pavement. Benkelman Beam Deflection (BBD) technique is widely used in the country for evaluating the structural capacity of an existing flexible pavement as also for estimation and design of overlays for strengthening of a weak pavement. The field test for measuring the surface deflec...

Hazardous Material transportation by road is coupled with inherent risk of accidents causing loss of lives, grievous injuries, property losses and environmental damages. The most common type of hazmat road accident happens to be the releases (78%) of hazardous substances, followed by fires (28%), explosions (14%) and vapour/ gas clouds (6 %.). The paper is discussing initially the probable ‘Imp...

This paper produce a literature review on speed-flow relationship for urban area and the models which had been adopted to reveals relationship. The model of is useful in planning, designing evaluating highway capacity. three traffic parameters are prescribed. Also, their studies, applications, modeling reviewed explained.

Introduction According to the 2011 Urban Mobility Report,1 roadway congestion cost a total of $101 billion and induced a total delay of 4.8 billion hours in the United States in 2010, with approximately 60 percent of the congestion occurring on freeways. Strategies have been implemented t...

This annotated bibliography summarizes studies of the rural economic development implications of highway investment. Primary emphasis is on research dealing with rural areas, but some urban studies are also cited. Topics covered include the aggregate economic effects of highway investment, the effects of highway investment on business location decisions and employment expansion, the effects of ...

Highway system is experiencing increasing traffic congestion with fast-growing number of vehicles in metropolitan areas. Implementing management strategies such as utilizing the hard shoulder an extra lane could increase highway capacity without construction work. This paper presents a method determining optimal condition and speed limit opening shoulder. Firstly, states are clustered using K-M...

The number of motor vehicles and traffic demand is growing in tandem with society's rapid economic development the quickening process urbanization. In India, congestion has become most serious issue. Vehicle's poor lane-changing behaviors have a significant impact on speed system. lane change behavior was observed study flow simulation model VISSIM. purpose this investigation to estimate change...

Calibration is a conventional method which is utilized to adapt traffic models based on local situations in order to achieve best results. One of the issues regarding the efficiency of this method is whether traffic models should be calibrated only in one or two major cities of a country or calibrated based upon a comprehensive selection of cities. Therefore, this study, which has used the actu...
