5. Introduction
• Road networks are observed in terms of its components of
accessibility, connectivity, traffic density, level of service,
compactness, and density of particular roads
• In general term, Road Network consists of nodes at intersection
and links connecting the intersection which are categorized into
primary and/or secondary roads known as arterial and/or minor
roads respectively

7. Introduction
 Road networks can be defined as series of nodes and links which
represents spatial locations and connections exhibiting geometric
variations and topological variations.
As part of research many researchers have done contribution by
making base of these two factors and then introducing higher
attributes such as spacing, shape, orientation and geometric
patterns.

8. • There are many examples of early man-made roads that are
found in various parts of the world.
• Historically, people have travelled and goods have been moved
from one place to another:
• by road; walking and riding, using humans and various beasts to
carry goods or to pull sleds, carts, carriages and wagons, and
(since the late 19th century) using cycles and motor vehicles such
as cars, buses and lorries;
HISTORICAL
OVERVIEW

10. HISTORICAL
OVERVIEW
• the first 'professional' road network-makers was Roman road
system, which consist of 29 major roads radiating from Rome
to the outermost fringes of the Empire (totaled 78000 km).
• The roads were commonly constructed at least 4.25 m wide
to enable two chariots to pass with ease.
• Overall, the first 40 years of the 20th century were years of
evolutionary development rather than revolutionary change
for roads.
• Initially, the emphasis was on 'laying the dust' using, mainly,
tar and bitumen surfacing, and then on reconstructing
existing roads.

11. Roles
• Road Network plays a great important role in
transportation :
infrastructure
 socio-economic and cultural development
 poverty and alleviation movement
reduction of economic and cultural gaps between different
areas: cities and rural areas and assurance security and safety
of society

13. Objective
1) To identify the various road networks use in
Ahmedabad-Vadodara expressway.
2) To analyse traffic congestion at CTM junction.
3) To check the lighting facility.
4) To investigate the drainage system at various
junction.
5) To provide rainwater harvesting.
6) Cost calculation of road network features for a
stretch road

14. Scope
• Providing, maintaining and upgrading Urban and Rural roads
and Highways
• Investigating the effect of vehicles, traffic characteristics,
road user cost
• Investigating the social and environmental effects of
investments
• Investigating long term issues which arise over asset life
cycle

2. Economics of Growth and Development

16. Literature Review
1
• Title : Mumbai-Pune Expressway And Coimbatore Bypass
• Author : Prof. G. Raghuram Year - 2001
• Conclusion :
We feel that for a resource scarce country like India
government alone will not be able to support the huge requirements
of infrastructure projects. So government should actively pursue to
attract private sector investments to this sector by simplifying the
projects with clarity in regulation and clearances and by reducing
externalities. We have attempted to come out with certain
guidelines based on the learnings from the cases and other sources,
which could be used as pointers towards future private-public
partnership projects.

17. • Title : Economics of Growth and Development
• Author : S. K. Misra and V. K. Puri
• Conclusion :
S. K. Misra and V. K. Puri is also one of the standard and well
praised book which further broadened the view of the researcher in
understanding the role of roads and highways and therefore the
importance of the NHAI in the development of road network in India.
Literature Review

18. Type
• Road network is classified into 5 ways which are :
1. Expressway
2. National Highway
3. State Highway
4. District road
5. Rural road and other road

20. Ahmedabad Vadodara Expressway
(National Expressway 1)
Type

22. Ahmedabad Vadodara
Expressway
Length: 96 Kilometers, Connecting Ahmedabad to Vadodara
 Cost: 475 Crores
The Expressway is being expanded from 4 to 6 service lanes.
The expressway is proposed to be extended up to Mumbai
once the 6 lane work is completed.
As of 2013, it remains India’s only National Expressway.

23. Pavement
Pavement can be classified into two ways which are :
 Flexible pavement
 Rigid pavement

24. Lighting facility
• The lighting should assist the road user to travel to their
destination safely and securely at high speed, dependant on
the prevailing weather and traffic conditions.
• On Roads will be a wider variety of road users, increasing
the need for visual clarity. Lighting is provided for reasons of
safety, to aid navigation and orientation of the user on the
road.

26. LED
•The newest high performance LED roadway fixture.
• Bringing white light benefits for improved safety and comfort for drivers and
pedestrians.
•It can reduce amount of energy required to light your city and highways by as much
as 70%.
• It reliable outdoor fixture for all weather conditions, offering a platform for
controls and intelligence.

28. Drainage system
• The primary purpose of a road drainage system is
to remove the water from the road and its
surroundings.
• The road drainage system consists of two parts:
dewatering
drainage

29. Drainage system
Dewatering:
“Dewatering” means the removal of rainwater
from the surface of the road.
Drainage:
“Drainage” on the other hand covers all the
different infrastructural elements to keep the road
structure dry.

31. Requirement
Drainage system
• The surface water from the carriage way and shoulder
should effectively be rained of without allowing it to
percolate to subgrade.
• The surface water from the adjoying land should be
prevented from entering from the road way.
• The surface drainage should have sufficient capacity and
longitudinal slope to carry away all the surface water
collected.
• Flow of surface water across the road and shoulder and
along slope should not cause formation of erosion.
