of determining the Seasonal Variation Factors and Growth Rates for various count
stations and for vehicle categories respectively.
The traffic characteristics on the project road for the base year are essential for
formulating improvement programs and in estimating the financial viability of the
project. The primary objectives of these traffic studies are:
• To determine characteristics of traffic movement and to establish base year
traffic demand
• to identify the zone of influence for the project stretch and extent of influence
based on O-D Survey
• to determine the travel pattern of goods and passenger vehicles
• for capacity assessment
• to determine the percentage of right turning traffic at road intersections as a
guide to the intensity of vehicle – vehicle conflict
• to determine vehicle damage factor
• for toll revenue analysis.
To study the variation in the intensity of tollable traffic, consultants conducted two Traffic
Volume Count locations on Wardha – Butibori section. The map showing the traffic
locations along the project stretch is shown in Fig E.2.

Average Daily Traffic (ADT) from the volume counts were accounted for the monthly
variations (within one year) to obtain the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT). Seasonal
Variation Factor was applied for passenger traffic and for commercial traffic, based on
secondary data interpretation.

It is observed that in Wardha – Butibori section Annual Average Daily Traffic varies from
17931 PCU's to 21131 PCU's. The following observations are made from the analysis of
survey data for each location along the project stretch.
TRAFFIC FORECAST
Forecasting the traffic is an important element for planning and design of infrastructure
facility, especially when it is proposed to be taken up on a commercial format. The
present traffic demand will increase primarily due to the growth in activities in zones in
the project influence area earmarked for industrial development besides socio –
economic characteristics of the traffic in influencing regions. Estimation of traffic growth
rates is further needed for deciding suitable development strategy and assessing the
financial viability of the project.
The growth factor derived from past traffic data on the stretch supplemented by
registration trend and the statistical parameters would have been the ideal method.
However, due to irregular, erratic and insufficient past traffic data available, the
derivation of elasticity and growth factors was based on registration data of vehicles and
the economic parameters.

TRAFFIC CAPACITY
For capacity analysis, it is considered that it would be desirable to provide 4 laning when
traffic exceeds the limits prescribed for Level of Service B. After the traffic exceeds the
limit prescribed for LOS E, there will be breakdown of traffic flow. Thus, 4 lane needs to
be provided when the traffic reaches LOS B level and it will continue to serve, though
with less level of service, till traffic reaches LOS E.

VEHICLE DAMAGE FACTOR
The Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) is an index characterizing the traffic loading for a
highway and is defined as a multiplier for converting the number of commercial vehicles
of different axle loads to Standard Axle Loads (SAL).
Axle load surveys were conducted at all OD locations along with OD surveys. This survey
was conducted for 2 normal days in both directions of traffic simultaneously with volume
count of commercial vehicles (Trucks and LCV). The random selection of vehicles for axle
load measurement was done, ensuring suitable sample for each category of commercial
vehicles consisting of overloaded and empty vehicles.

E.22 BRIDGES AND STRUCTURES
For major bridges, the type of superstructure observed is PSC girders, voided slabs,
RCC simply supported girders & RCC simply supported slabs over stone
masonry/PCC/RCC plate, circular piers/abutments and open/pile/well foundations.
For most of the minor bridges, the type of superstructure observed is RCC solid slab and
for a few, RCC girder slab. Substructures and retaining walls are brick / stone masonry
and plain/reinforced cement concrete.
The project highway has in total 1 Road Over Bridges (ROB's) of PSC girder with Open
foundation and 1 Road Under Bridge of Steel composite with Open foundation.
Total 1 Vehicular Underpass and 2 Non-Vehicular Underpasses are present along the
project stretch, mostly RCC box type structures. Most of the existing slab culverts are
stone masonry arch structures widened with RCC slab on top and PCC/Stone masonry
abutments/piers during four laning. Existing Hume pipe culverts are mostly in size range
of 0.9m to 1.2m diameter; except, at a few locations 0.5m diameter pipes are present,
which are now proposed to be replaced with 1.2m diameter pipes.
E.23 CONDITION OF CULVERTS
The condition of most of the old slab culverts is not good due to distress such as spalling
of concrete, exposed and corroded reinforcement. Some of the pipe culverts are
partially/fully choked else buried. All distressed culverts are proposed to be dismantled
and reconstructed. Reconstruction is proposed with 1.2 diameter pipe in case of pipe
culverts and a box structure in case of box/slab culverts.

E.33 RECOMMENDATIONS
Some of the important aspects which require the attention of the authority have been
presented below for consideration, along with the recommendations of the consultants.
1. Extent of Right of Way to be acquired
a. Forest area (Km 34.000 to Km 34.700) – 45m
b. Remaining project length – 60m
2. Up-gradation of the existing highway
The existing 2-lane highway shall be developed to a 4-lane configuration with 15.0 m
carriageway, 1.5 m paved shoulders and 2.0 m earthen shoulders on either side.
3. Pavement Type
Based on the life cycle costing comparison of flexible and rigid pavements, rigid
pavement is found economical and the same is recommended for the carriageway.
However, flexible pavement is recommended for service roads.

FEASIBILITY REPORTFEASIBILITY REPORTWARDHA – BUTIBORIWARDHA – BUTIBORI
4. Up-gradation of the structures
When reconstruction/new construction takes place as in case of a bypass or
realignment, the overall width will be 12.5 m. For bridges having carriageway width less
than 7.5 m, but are feasible for widening are widened with 12.5 m carriageway. Bridges
having carriageway less than 12.5 m are not feasible for widening are proposed for
reconstruction.
Thus, the total width of all the structures for reconstruction/new construction invariably
will be 12.5 m outer to outer to match with the road way in the approaches.
Based on the condition of the existing structures being retained/widened, appropriate
rehabilitation measures have been proposed.
The designs and drawings of structures are enclosed in Volume – IX.
5. Toll Plazas
Toll Plaza has been proposed at strategic location so that it is at least 10 km away from
built up and 60km away from the nearest toll plaza in either direction on the same
highway. From the said recommendations, toll plaza is proposed at km. 510.865
6. Project Facilities
a. 28 numbers of bus bays and bus shelters have been proposed for all the important
villages along the project highway.
b. 2 Truck Lay-Byes are proposed along the highway stretch.
