Project Title: Urban Road Management Road Network System using HDM-4 software:

The objective of this study is to develop a powerful system for the analysis of pavement
management and investment strategies for the maintenance of the huge urban road network. The
Highway Development and Management-4 (HDM-4) software has been used for strategy and
program analysis of seven road sections of Solapur City. The HDM-4 tool provides the
deterministic approach in data input and processing also utilizes data on existing road condition,
traffic volume and composition to predict road deterioration as per the urban road conditions in
terms of IRI value. HDM-4 simulates total life cycle conditions and costs for an analysis period
under a user specified scenario of circumstances. A network economic evaluation is the most
challenging use of the model, but the effort is well justified due to the potential savings on
transportation costs achieved by comparing various alternatives and performing a budget
constraint optimization. This study presents guidelines of HDM-4 analysis, reviews the applied
methodology, input requirements and also shows future directions in order to apply HDM-4
effectively according to available urban conditions especially the mix traffic and the drainage
conditions of the Solapur city. Also developed various Road Network maps, such as rail
network, road network and educational institutes using ARC GIS software.

Project Title: Geometric Design using MX Road software:

The development of effective road transport system is the primary need of any developing
country and the upgrading of existing road network system is essential for the developed
countries as the capacity of roads in urban and nonurban highways will reach to saturation level
with the passage of time. The design of route alignment and the pavement structure decide the
cost of a highway project and for this job the best available Highway Design Software tools must
be deployed.
In the present case study, the alignment of highway is aligned with great care and importance so
as to avoid increase in construction, maintenance and vehicle operation costs and also in
decreasing the accident rates. Once the alignment is aligned and constructed, it is not easy to
change the alignment due to increase in cost of adjoining land and construction of costly
structures by the road side. Hence finalizing the alignment should be done with great importance.

Project Title : Quality Control Test:

The high growth of vehicles has further increased the demand of safe, wide and good quality of roads.
There is always an increasing demand for better roads that ensure safe and speedy movement for the road
users. With the use of modern machinery, the speed of construction has increased manifolds and there is
substantive improvement in the quality of roads.
Quality control in the flexible pavement construction means the operational technique to control the
various activities used to fulfill the requirements of quality of a flexible pavement.
In the present study involves the studying the acceptance criteria which includes the tests, frequency of
testing, tolerance limits, critical examination of the work by selected tests to determine its conformity to
the specifications and action taken to ensure quality. So it is completely the features and the
characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy the given need for a quality and
efficiency of a pavement.
