Thermal Effects on Elastic and Rigidity Modulus of Flexible Pavement Wearing Course
Abstract: Laboratory investigation of flexible pavement was carried out using asphalt concrete samples to simulate the behaviour of actual field conditions of a flexible pavement. The study was carried out in order to ascertain the changes that will result in the elastic and rigidity (shear) modulus of flexible pavement when subjected to increasing temperature conditions (thermal effect). The study became pertinent because mechanistic design of flexible pavement requires as input the …

Urban Transportation Pattern in India: A Review
Abstract: Cities and towns play a major role in encouraging economic growth and prosperity. Though less than one-third of Indian people live in cities and towns, these areas produce over two-third of the country’s income and account for 90% of government revenues. In the upcoming years, as India becomes more and more urbanized, urban areas will play a major role in supporting high rates of economic growth. But, economic growth momentum …

Analysis and Comparison of Pedestrian Flow Characteristics Variation on Passageway, Stairway and Escalator in Intercity Railway Stations
Abstract: Pedestrians while commuting through public transport facilities like integrated public transportation system, metro system, railway system, encounter level change facilities to transfer among different platforms. These facilities include passageway, stairway, escalator and ramps. They are confined areas and are the basic means of pedestrian movements inside a terminal to access platforms at different levels. Within limited terminal area, designing and planning of level changing infrastructures is of great challenge. For …
