Rigid Pavement Response to Environmental and Traffic Loading Investigated through Instrumentation
gauges measure the dynamic strains induced in the concrete
due to traffic movement. The measured compressive strains in
the top fibers and tensile strains in the bottom fibers were used
for estimating load stresses induced in the concrete slabs. The
design of concrete pavement is based on the edge stresses at
the middle of the slab. Therefore, the dynamic strain gauges
have been installed in such a way so that the compressive and
tensile strains could be measured at the critical mid slab edge.
Strain gauges were embedded near the top and bottom at the
mid slab along the longitudinal tied joint edge and longitudinal
untied edge towards median (Photo 3).

Thus, the test results of all the three test locations indicate an
average reduction of 25.0 per cent in the strains produced at
tied edge as compared to the strains at non-tied edge.

calculation of curling stresses as per Westergaard
analysis and IRC:58-2002, which is based upon
positive temperature differentials, do not take into
account the negative temperature differentials under
which slabs have been observed to have finally set.
It is recommended that it should be considered while
calculating the curling stresses.

results obtained are also compared with that of two semiautomated toolkits. One is the NSV Toolkit while another
one is ImageJSoftware17, open source medical image analysis
software developed by National Institute of Health, USA.
The information extracted using the proposed algorithm
can be used for determining maintenance levels for Indian
roads and taking further appropriate actions for repair and
maintenance related issues, such as, allocating budgets
or awarding contracts for repairing the critical roads in a
short duration of time1, 11. The results obtained are up to 94
per cent accurate.
In the next section, a brief description of road video data
collection systems used in this research programme is given.
After that the proposed algorithm for automated potholes
detection and measurement is described. Later, test results
are presented and compared with that of two existing semiautomated toolkits. Finally, conclusions and future works
are given.

modified k value is taken as 16.6 kg/cm2/cm and 5.6 kg/cm2/
cm, respectively (IRC: 58-20029). In case of RCC pavement
over existing base of WBM/BOE/GSB, the modulus of subgrade reaction k based on field observations of Benkelman
beam deflection is taken as 8 kg/cm2/cm. The design

Modeling Occurrence and Severity of Road Crashes on Selected Multi Lane Carriageways in India
Fig. 1 illustrates that during any time period of the day, the
per centage of fatal and minor injuries are almost equal
to each other. It has been found that grievous injury road
crashes are maximum during any time period of the day.
Fig. 2 indicates that the minor road crashes are dominant
during windy weather conditions however the per centage
of fatal road crashes is almost the same irrespective of the
weather conditions. Fig. 3 indicates that the maximum
numbers of road crashes occur at the midblock. Fig. 4
shows that the proportion of grievous injury occurring on
single lane, two-lane and four lane divided carriageways

ABSTRACT
Design of traffic signal coordination in the conventional method makes use of only traffic related parameters. A design
procedure which can incorporate user perception also in addition to traffic related parameters can lead to a better design. In
this study an attempt was made to design two phase coordinated traffic signal incorporating quantitative as well as qualitative
parameters using fuzzy logic approach. Fuzzy rules were formulated by relating the important quantitative parameters
like average stream speed, volume to capacity ratio and average control delay and quality of progression was taken as the
qualitative parameter. The design procedure was implemented on a real corridor consisting of three intersections. Measures
of effectiveness such as band width, efficiency, attainability, average control delay per vehicle per cycle length were used to
determine the efficacy of the design procedure. It gave an efficiency of 64 per cent and an attainability of 92 per cent while
improving the average stream speed from existing 14 kph to 32 kph. The average control delay per vehicle per cycle length
on major stream was reduced by 69 per cent and on the minor stream was reduced by 70 per cent.

In the present study, a corridor along National Highway47 passing through Thiruvananthapuram city (in the
southern part of India), with three isolated intersections was
selected. Fig. 1 gives the schematic sketch of the selected
corridor along with the traffic volume. The major road is
4-lane divided carriageway and minor legs are single lane
approaches. The major stream through traffic (one direction)
during the morning peak was observed in the range of 720

RP = platoon ratio
P= proportion of the total approaching vehicles in movement
arriving during the phase
C= cycle length at the downstream signal, s
g= green time for the phase at the downstream signal, s
preferred that about 60 per cent -85 per cent of the total
approaching traffic should be able to effectively utilize green
and clear the corridor without delay. A rough estimate of g/C is
required initially to estimate the value of RP In the present study

the range of 720 vph to 1080 vph this range was adopted
for comparison. The various measures of effectiveness like
bandwidth, efficiency and attainability were determined for
this range. Table 4 gives the design parameters as well as
the measures of effectiveness obtained for a through traffic
volume of 720-1080 vph.
