Abstract: Road traffic safety and highway improvement programs are dependent on the analysis of accurate and reliable traffic accident data. In Bangladesh, significant percentage of crash fatalities occur on limited sections of major roads and highways. These sections are generally known as High Risk Roads, Hazardous Road Locations (HRLs) or Accident Prone Location or Black Spots.… View More

Alam R, Hoque M M, Sarkar S, Rokon A, Ahamed F. (2016). Crash Problems and Countermeasures for Vulnerable Road Users in Dhaka City. Proceedings of BUET-ANWAR ISPAT 1st Bangladesh Civil Engineering Summit. Dhaka, Bangladesh. 71-78

Abstract: With immense concentration on traffic safety for major motorized vehicles the road traffic fatalities including such motorized vehicles have shown declining trends in recent years. On the contrary the vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians, bicyclists, motor cyclist, pedal rickshaws and users of various informal motorized and non-motorized modes are victims of massive injury due to heterogeneous traffic.… View More

Khan S, Nagabhushana M N, Vittal UK. (2017). Use of Fly Ash in Low Volume Road, World Road Meeting, International Road Federation, New Delhi.

Abstract: Coal-based thermal power plants all over the world face serious problems of handling and disposal of the ash produced. The high ash content (30–50%) of the coal in India makes this problem complex. At present, about 145 thermal power stations in India produce nearly 184 million(quantity) tonnes of coal ash per annum (CEA,2015).… View More

In The Roles of Accelerated Pavement Testing in Pavement Sustainability (pp. 227-239). Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42797-3_15

Abstract: More than 95 % of road network in India is made up of flexible pavement, especially due to the relative lesser initial cost, ease of construction and maintenance. The design of flexible pavement in India is done with criteria of load associated fatigue cracking and permanent deformation (rutting).… View More
