The document provides an introduction to highway engineering, including definitions and classifications of transportation systems and highways. It discusses the history of road development from ancient footpaths to modern paved highways. It also provides an overview of the development of roads in Ethiopia, from early trails to the current network of over 100,000 km of roads, including the construction of expressways. The classifications of highways are described according to factors such as ownership, surface type, design, traffic volume, location, and the Ethiopian Roads Authority system.
Highway Engineering for BE Civil Engineering Students
History of Roads in India, IRC, CRRI, Classification of Roads, Three 20 year Road Development Plans, Road patterns, Accident Studies,
Friction Considerations : The friction of skid resistance between vehicle tyre and pavement surface is one of the factors determining the operating speed and the minimum distance requires for stopping of vehicles.
Unevenness : The longitudinal profile of the road pavement has to be even' in order to provide a good riding comfort to fast moving vehicles
Light Reflecting Characteristics : Night visibility depends upon the colour and light reflecting characteristics of the pavement surface. The glare caused by the reflection of head lights is considerably high on wet pavement surface than on the dry pavement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A transportation system is an infrastructure that
serves to move people and goods efficiently.
The transportation system consists of fixed
facilities, flow entities, and a control
component.
Efficient = safe, rapid, comfortable, convenient,
economical, environmentally compatible.

Definition
Highway engineering is an engineering discipline
branching from civil engineering that involves the
planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance
of roads, bridges, and related infrastructure to ensure safe
and effective transportation of people and goods.
Or
The application of technology and scientific principles to
the planning, functional design, operation, and management
of roads, streets and highways, their networks, terminals,
abutting lands, and relationships with other modes of
transportation.

The first mode of transport was by foot.
The next major mode of transport was the use of animals
for transporting both men and materials. Since these loaded
animals required more horizontal and vertical clearances
than the walking man, track ways emerged.
The invention of wheel in Mesopotamian civilization led to
the development of animal drawn vehicles. Then it became
necessary that the road surface should be capable of
carrying greater loads.
These have led to the development of foot-paths.

Romans who constructed an extensive system of roads

Historic chronicles of the 17th and 18th centuries show that there
were a number of small roads trails and foot paths, in addition to
the traditional shoulder porter age.
During second Italian occupation i.e. between the years 1896 and
1936 that a great success was made in road construction
In 1903 the road from Eritrea to Addis Ababa and the road from
Addis to Addis-Alem were built. In addition it was during this
time that the first Asphalt roads appeared in Addis.
The roads and trails built and improved during the 5 years Italian
occupation were about 6000km. Approximately 2500 km of
them were given a single asphalt surface treatment, drainage
structures were usually of stone masonry and at least three
tunnels were built.

amounted to 6,400 km, which was mainly built
during the Italian invasion.
