Introduction Section 1 Introduction In 1974, a technical section naming National Transport Research Centre (NTRC) was established within Planning and Development Division. It was aimed that the said section will provide much needed Research and Development (R&D) support for planning and appraisal of transport sector projects /plans in a coordinated and cost-effective manner. Later, NTRC was transferred to the Ministry of Communications in November 1992. The centre serves as a Research and Development Wing of the Communication Division and is mandated to undertake research studies in the field of Transport Planning and Engineering so that transport projects and plans are based on planning assumptions determined specifically for Pakistani conditions. Another aim for the establishment of the centre is to collect and provide countrywide transport information especially in the highly fragmented sub sectors of Roads and Road Transport. Importantly, to date, there does not exist any robust digital database of the country road network wherein information pertaining to various types of roads owned by spatially distinct i.e., national, provincial and local entities is available. Correspondingly, NTRC has initiated a project titled “Digitalization of Roads Directory in the Country”. The purpose of project is to develop a digital database of all the roads of the Pakistan crucial for road infrastructure asset management and spatial/ regional transport related planning. It was envisioned that the data collected through this project will not only help to collect information of distinct road infrastructure owned by all national, provincial and local entities but serve as a base layer for future planning. Information pertaining to alignment, length, width, were collected and attributed to the existing National Highway Network, Provincial Highway Network, District Roads, Feeder Roads, Municipal Roads, and Urban Roads etc. Project Area Project area includes all Pakistan including Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan, Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Federally Administered Tribal Areas.

  • Invertebrate Survey of the A30 and A38 Road Verges in Area 1 (Cornwall and Devon) Steven Falk Mark Tunmore October 2015
    Inspiring change for Important Invertebrate Areas in the UK Invertebrate Survey of the A30 and A38 road verges in Area 1 (Cornwall and Devon) 11th September 2014 Susan Thompson - Grants & Trusts Officer Steven Falk Mark Tunmore Saving the small things that run the planet October 2015 1 Executive summary Between late May and late August 2015, Buglife Services carried out an invertebrate survey of the A30 and A38 in Devon and Cornwall. 41 visits to 23 sample points were undertaken on the A30 and 25 visits to 18 sampling points were undertaken on the A38, and a range of invertebrate groups were targeted. 866 taxa were recorded, the list being dominated by flies (361), beetles (177), butterflies & moths (109), bugs (82), bees, ants & aculeate wasps (53), spiders & harvestmen (50), grasshoppers & crickets (11) and dragonflies & damselflies (11). Pitfall trapping (not permitted) would have extended the beetle and bug lists greatly. The list included a number of rare and scarce species (notably the tachinid fly Policheta unicolor and lygaeid bug Trapezonotus ullrichi) and seemingly the first SW England record for the Southern oak bush-cricket (Meconema meridionalis) which is a recent British colonist. The list reveals the tremendous variety of life cycle strategies and other ecological relationships associated with road verge invertebrates. Pollinators are very well represented within the species list. The list and sample sizes reveal the strong influence of surrounding habitat, geographic location, altitude and underlying geology/ground conditions. There is a discernible ‘Bodmin Moor effect’ (decreased abundance and diversity of thermophilic invertebrates with altitude) and a strong ‘Dartmoor effect’ (increased abundance and diversity of thermophilic invertebrates on the A38 east of Dartmoor).

  • Chapter 5. OVERALL TRANSPORT POLICY
    Pakistan Transport Plan Study in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (PTPS) Chapter 5. OVERALL TRANSPORT POLICY 5.1 Review of Existing Development Plan The Medium Term Development Framework (MTDF) published in May, 2005 declares an ambitious goal for Pakistan to be a developed, industrial, just and prosperous country within 25 years, by attaining 7-8 per cent annual economic growth. To support such rapid growth, MTDF envisages a total investment of about Rs.8.0 trillion during the five years of 2005/06 – 2009/10. The amount corresponds to 1.3 times of GDP in 2004/05. Out of Rs.8 trillion, the fixed investment is Rs.7.3 trillion, of which 65% is expected to come from the private sector and 35% from the public sector. Total investment in the transport sector is planned to be over Rs.573 billion, of which Rs.304 billion is to be by public investment. Prior to discussing a long-term developing policy and strategy of PTPS, the MTDF was reviewed, and summarized in the followings. 5.1.1 Overall Policy and Strategy of MTDF The overall policy and strategy of MTDF are summarized in Table 5.1.1. The PTPS is one of the actions in accordance with the policy (1) and the strategies (1) to (4) are included in the TOR of PTPS.
