The traditional bituminous pavements and their needs for continuous maintenance and rehabilitation operations points towards the scope for cement concrete pavements. There are several advantages of cement concrete pavements over bituminous pavements. But, there are also some problems outcomes with concrete pavement like micro-shrinkage, cracking, and low water permeability. To overcome this kind of problems, the secondary construction material “Recron-3S” is preferable to add in concrete for making stronger and batter road pavement. Present paper focuses how the compressive and flexural strength of the Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) increases using Recron-3S fiber with compression test of the concrete. The testing r...

Public transit plays a vital role in economic development for access to the commuters/ travelers to the city centers of metropolitan cities of developing countries. Accessibility of public transit system is a prime factor faced by developing countries due to the lack of feeder services. Therefore, an attempt to improve the feeder services (with different modes i.e. as walking, bicycle, mini bus) is major importance. The present research focuses on new innovative ideas of bicycle as feeder mode with its three services i.e. Exclusive Bicycle Lane, Bicycle operation in mixed traffic with park & ride facility and Bicycle Sharing Service for Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) corridor of Ahmedabad city. The multinomial logit model was applied to develop the models. The findings from the study revealed that as income increases the preference to BMT-PR service increases over BSS and EBL service for their commuting purpose. The observations of age distribution shows with increase in age, the choice of EBL service over BSS and decrease BMT-PR service over BSS. Gender wise distribution indicated that preference to EBL service as well as BMT-PR service are higher among male groups compared with female groups. The observation of the study revealed that with increase in travel time, the respondents are more preferring BSS service over both EBL service and BMT-PR service. Same as travel distance increases will be more preference of BSS over EBL service and BMT-PR service by commuters. The output of this research can be extremely useful to increase ridership of public transit by integrating feeder service.

Public transportation is one of the most important component of urban transport system, particularly in pace of rapid urbanization in Ahmedabad city. Today in the city, the utilization of Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) is increasingly day by day looking for cost effective transit solutions and for environmental concerns. But the problems facing by the users to use this system are poor accessibility status. For effective planning, it is quite essential to understand the degree of accessibility of BRTS. BRTS accessibility can be considered as one of the vital factor to integrate the land use and bus route network system to promote the public transit system. The present paper focuses on measurement of walking accessibility of BRTS taking one route name as RTO to Memnagar as a case study.

Now a day, the traffic congestion is the major problems of our country India. The urbanization of Indian cities increasing and also the vehicle registration of that cities are increasing which is results in increase of the traffic congestion, For the present study, Savala Junction of Visnagar city is selected as a case study which is facing major problems viz. traffic due to uneven vehicle flow, uneven parking, no traffic signals, encroachments etc. and due to this problems time consumption of road users and accidental rate is high. The analysis of the present study junction is carried out from the collected data of videography. The aim of the study is to control the traffic congestion at the Savala junction and to provide the safety to the peoples.
