    International Journal of Engineering & Applied Sciences (IJEAS) Vol.9, Issue 1(2017) 14-31 http://dx.doi.org/10.24107/ijeas.286473 Development of Pavement Maintenance Management System (PMMS) of Urban Road Network Using HDM-4 Model a* b c d Tanuj Chopra , Manoranjan Parida , Naveen Kwatra , Jyoti Mandhani a,c,dDepartment of Civil Engineering, Thapar University,Patiala,India bDepartment of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee,India *E-mail address: [email protected] Received date: January 2017 Abstract The aim of the study is to develop Pavement Maintenance Management System (PMMS) for four road sections of urban road network (Patiala, Punjab, India) using Highway Development and Management (HDM-4) model. The HDM-4 provides a deterministic approach in data input and process data of existing road condition, traffic volume and pavement composition to predict road deterioration as per the urban road conditions in terms of International Roughness Index (IRI) value. This study presents the use of HDM-4 model for the computation of optimum Maintenance and Rehabilitation (M&R) strategy for each road section and comparative study of scheduled and condition responsive M&R strategies. The results of present study will be useful for gaining better support for decision-makers for adequate and timely fund allocations for preservation of the urban road network. Keywords: Pavement, management, maintenance, HDM-4, urban road, predict, road deterioration. 1. Introduction Construction of road network involves substantial investment and therefore proper maintenance of these assets is of paramount importance. It is found that the actual available maintenance expenditure amount is much less than what is required for urban roads.

INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges 3 4 INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges FOREWORD Travel and tourism, the largest service industry in India was worth US$234bn in 2018 – a 19% year- on-year increase – the third largest foreign exchange earner for India with a 17.9% growth in Foreign Exchange Earnings (in Rupee Terms) in March 2018 over March 2017. According to The World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism generated ₹16.91 lakh crore (US$240 billion) or 9.2% of India’s GDP in 2018 and supported 42.673 million jobs, 8.1% of its total employment. The sector is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 6.9% to ₹32.05 lakh crore (US$460 billion) by 2028 (9.9% of GDP). The Ministry has been actively working towards the development of quality tourism infrastructure at various tourist destinations and circuits in the States / Union Territories by sanctioning expenditure budgets across schemes like SWADESH DARSHAN and PRASHAD. The Ministry of Tourism has been actively promoting India as a 365 days tourist destination with the introduction of niche tourism products in the country like Cruise, Adventure, Medical, Wellness, Golf, Polo, MICE Tourism, Eco-tourism, Film Tourism, Sustainable Tourism, etc. to overcome ‘seasonality’ challenge in tourism. I am pleased to present the FICCI Knowledge Report “Indian Tourism Infrastructure : Investment Opportunities & Challenges” which highlights the current scenario, key facts and figures pertaining to the tourism sector in India.

  • Strategy for Financing of Maintenance of Roads in India
    STRATEGY FOR FINANCING OF MAINTENANCE OF ROADS IN INDIA By N. K. Sinha President M/s. Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt. Ltd. A-8 &9, Green Park, New Delhi – 110016, Tel.: 011-40863000, email: [email protected] Also Chairman, IRF, India Chapter ABSTRACT Indian Road network has presently a total length of approximately 4.87 million km. and is reckoned as second largest in the world. A well maintained road provides good surface to road users. It also lowers the vehicle operating costs besides savings in travel time. Conversely, a badly maintained road provides a rough and uneasy riding surface. It gives high vehicle operating costs and induces damages to vehicles and is environmentally undesirable Road management authorities therefore always aim at having well maintained road network. But maintenance of this huge national asset is a challenging task, specially in view of complexity arising due to political system, technical requirements and financial constraints. Though road sector is very important from the point of view of growth of economy, availability of funds for the sector is quite low in the budget because of competing urgent societal needs. Consequently, funds for maintenance of road which is sub set of road sector funds is also toned down to the minimum. India has therefore been continuously striving for a sustainable strategy for financing of maintenance of roads. 1. INDIAN ROAD NETWORK Indian road network comprises various classes of roads Table-1 below gives the road classification and their present lengths maintenance: Table-1 Road classification Total length National Highways *92,851 State Highways 242,687 Rural Roads, and Urban roads and 4,629,462 other roads *4,865,000 *Source – MoRT&H The network carries over 65 percent of its freight and about 85 percent of passenger traffic.

  • Roads Routes and Canal Systems
    ROADS AND CANALS OF ANCIENT WORLD. ROADS From the earliest times, one of the strongest indicators of a society's level of development has been its road system-or lack of one. Increasing populations and the advent of towns and cities brought with it the need for communication and commerce between those growing population centers. A road built in Egypt by the Pharaoh Cheops around 2500 BC is believed to be the earliest paved road on record-a construction road 1,000 yards long and 60 feet wide that led to the site of the Great Pyramid. Since it was used only for this one job and was never used for travel, Cheops's road was not truly a road in the same sense that the later trade routes, royal highways, and impressively paved Roman roads were. The various trade routes, of course, developed where goods were transported from their source to a market outlet and were often named after the goods which traveled upon them. For example, the Amber Route traveled from Afghanistan through Persia and Arabia to Egypt, and the Silk Route stretched 8,000 miles from China, across Asia, and then through Spain to the Atlantic Ocean. However, carrying bulky goods with slow animals over rough, unpaved roads was a time consuming and expensive proposition. As a general rule, the price of the goods doubled for every 100 miles they had to travel. Some other ancient roads were established by rulers and their armies. The Old Testament contains references to ancient roads like the King's Highway, dating back to 2000 BC.
