Identification of road handling needs is an activity searching, collecting, researching, and recording data information on that emphasize the comfort factor in driving, where these factors can occur from geometric conditions, unevenness or hardness surface. The identification I will do this research a case study national conditions Sorong region West Papua Province, which aims to provide input ...

Evaluating existing flexible pavement condition is a pre-requisite to choose improvement technique that has to be adopted to enhance its quality. To evaluate existing pavements, non-destructive testing methods are desirable. Benkelman Beam and 5th Wheel Bump Integrator are used to conduct non-destructive tests like deflection and roughness surveys on the existing pavement of 4 lane divided carr...

Pavement condition assessment is essential when developing road network maintenance programs. In practice, pavement sensing is to a large extent automated when regarding highway networks. Municipal roads, however, are predominantly surveyed manually due to the limited amount of expensive inspection vehicles. As part of a research project that proposes an omnipresent passenger vehicle network fo...

Huge quantities of bituminous mix in the form of seal coats and HMAC thin overlays are applied by the TxDOT every year to improve ride quality and seal existing cracks, but these measures do not correct possible underlying weaknesses that will cause roughness or distress to quickly reappear. As a result, the overall pavement condition keeps deteriorating due to the structural deformation of pav...

The Joint Transportation Research Program serves as a vehicle for INDOT collaboration with higher education institutions and industry in Indiana to facilitate innovation that results in continuous improvement in the planning, design, construction, operation, management and economic efficiency of the Indiana transportation infrastructure. NOTICE The contents of this report reflect the views of t...

Speed humps used as a tool of traffic calming technique that applied to force drivers to reduce their vehicle’ speeds at some locations. For developed countries, the implementations of speed humps are often used within residential areas as well as at locations of schools crossing.  For developing countries (e.g. Iraq), speed humps are used even at urban and urban highways.   This paper investig...

Pavement deflection data are often used to evaluate a pavement’s structural condition non-destructively. It is essential not only to evaluate the structural integrity of an existing pavement but also to have accurate information on pavement surface condition in order to establish a reasonable pavement rehabilitation design system. Pavement layers are characterized by their elastic moduli estima...

The main role of the present work is to conduct pavement performance evaluation of Cell Filled Concrete road constructed in Sidlaghatta taluk of Chickaballapura District in Karnataka. The study area selected is from Anur Hunasenahalli to T-07 (2.16 km) in Sidlaghatta Taluk. The above selected road is categorized under Village Roads (VR) and is constructed under the Technology Demonstration Proj...
