Regression analysis is probably one of the most used statistical techniques in engineering applications. Further, least square technique is often which that is used for such regression analysis. While LS computations can be carried out... more
Each driver should drive according to the actual road traffic rules of the country in which he is currently located. The law systems of various states of Europe allow an increased maximal blood alcohol level of driver. As the fact that no... more
The Ilaro to Papa Alanto highway is a major transportation route in the industrial complex of Portland cement manufacturing axis of Ogun State, Nigeria. Several years of studies and the observation of the rate and mode of the highways... more
— Improvement of potholes on streets and roads of India after the onset of storms is a typical marvel. Frequently, potholes are repaired with outdated methods, for example, putting soil or exposed aggregate in the pothole in light of the... more
Abstract: This study analyzes the performance of an Off-Street Parking Facility situated at Central Eid-Ground, Kofar Mata, Kano State. The study was achieved through the following objectives; determining the number of vehicles parked... more
The primary objectives of this study are to develop two roundabout entry capacity models using a regression-based multiple non-linear regression model (MNLR) and artificial intelligence (AI)-based ANFIS (adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference... more
Traffic simulators have great advantages in tactical and operational planning and the analyzes produced by the simulators allow to evaluate a series of possible scenarios in a virtual environment, thus avoiding the expenditure of economic... more
CAUTION, INC was a neighborhood protest movement that resulted in the construction of Freedom Parkway, amid scandal among former President Jimmy Carter, former United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young, and others.
The rate of accidents caused by potholes is increasing day by day. So, potholes must be repaired as soon as possible. This paper aims to repair potholes by using plastic. The introduction of plastic in bitumen modifies the characteristic... more
Planners are now trying to provide greener travel solutions to reduce fiscal, social, and environmental issues. This research, therefore, seeks to find significant reasons for urban transport to enhance the use of alternative... more
Engineering analysis and design lend inputs to estimated construction cost. Risks, in highway design, are often required to be quantified for such estimated construction cost resulting from possible changes to the inputs that go into the... more
The motto of this study is to suggest the best possible NMT infrastructure at the intersection having mixed traffic flow along with the heavy traffic leading towards the congestion, delay and accidents. Variety Square, Nagpur has been... more
It is a crucial task to reduce road crashes by performing analyses and taking appropriate countermeasures to save lives. It has been a major issue for many people and government to reduce the amount of road collisions especially in Iran,... more
With increase in traffic volume across the globe traffic safety has come into highlight and become a major concern. Apparently, with due increase in traffic volume resulting in higher road accidents which considerably causes negative... more
Lack of standard framework for PPP projects in India necessitated introduction of Model Concession Agreement (MCA) for PPP Highway projects in mid-nineties, which outlines the policies and regulations for implementation of PPP projects.... more
Public transportation system has a great impact in accommodating transport demand for cities especially in the developing countries like Bangladesh. A well-planned transportation system helps to reduce VMT (Vehicle Miles Traveled). Khulna... more
The paper presented herein deals with the analysis and design of T-beam bridge super structure using Limit State Method of design irrespective of conventional Working Stress Method of design. Indian standard code is followed and basically... more
This study investigates the relationship and effect of geometric variables such as curve radius (Horizontal and vertical), road width, median width, shoulder width and super-elevation on the frequency of accident in highways. Accident... more
Air pollution is the biggest cause of environmental degradation in the world and it also cause health problems. The major source for these pollutions are industries & automobiles. In automobile pollutants can be reduced by using a... more
Intersections are critical places which experience high levels of accidents due to the availability of vehicle movements from different directions. Therefore, there is a need to understand the factors that significantly contribute to... more
Spot Speed Study for Reference
Road traffic is known to have its own complex dynamics. One implication of complexity is that road traffic collisions have become an unwelcome but unavoidable part of human life. One of the major causes of collisions is the human factor.... more
This study sets to investigate the pedestrian and vehicular characteristics at the Makande crossing point where a hunch was made that a formal pedestrian crossing point was required. This is due to the fact that it was hypothesized that... more

This paper investigates the effect of highway horizontal and vertical alignments design on safety within the context of design provisions in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) using the Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) and... more
In the formative development of urban transportation planning, travel forecasting is essential. Various travel simulation techniques are used to estimate possible traffic scenarios. It's been used to analyze road capability,... more
Pre-design and construction geotechnical assessment of subgrade and sub-base materials was carried out for optimal performance and pavement sustainability. Method involved boring of 59holes and trial pits, sampling and geotechnical... more
The Kaduna pilot project is thus far the first and also the last performance-based road contract ever practiced in Nigeria. Output and Performance-based Road Contract (OPRC) is a unique contract which unlike traditional roads contract,... more
This paper highlights the results of works done by different researchers on soil stabilization using different waste materials that primarily emanate from industries all over the globe, it is seen that most of the materials used for this... more
Field factors can affect the strength gain of compacted lime stabilized clay which affects the strength of the subgrade. The major objective of this study was to investigate the effect of field factors on the strength of compacted lime... more
