Module-87A: Sub: Transportation Engineering Topic: Highway Planning

This document discusses the geometric design of highways. It covers key topics such as highway planning committees in India from 1927 to 1981, factors that influence geometric design like skid resistance and sight distances, and formulas for calculating elements of highway design like super elevation, minimum radius of curves, length of transition curves, and length of summit and valley curves. The focus is on providing the formulas and calculations required for properly designing the geometry of highways.

Geometric design of highways,

Highway planning Jayakar committee: 1927 Control road fund: 1929 Indian road congress: 1934 Motor vehicle act: 1939 Nagpur road conference: 1943 20 years road development plan: 1943-63(Nagpur) Target: 16km/ 100sq.km Central Road Research Institute: 1950 20 years road development plan: 1961-81(Bombay) Target 32km/ 100sq.km 20 years road development plan 1981-2001(Lucknow) Target: 82km/ 100sq.km Highway Research Board: 1973 Geometric design: Skid: Path travelled more than the circumferential movement of wheels. Slip: Path is less than circumferential movement of wheels. Longitudinal friction co-efficient= 0.35 to 0.40 Lateral friction co-efficient = 0.15
