Preparation of DPR involves following components 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 Understanding Scope of Work Traffic Surveys Engineering Investigations Detailed Designs Tender and Construction Drawings Project Costing Economic Analysis Formulation of Construction Packages Compiling Project Report

Scope of Services
UNDERSTANDING THE TOR

First and foremost thing is to study carefully and understand the Terms of Reference (ToR) or Scope of Services of the project. Once the ToR is understood, the conceptualization of the project would be easy. Mostly the ToR for a particular type of projects remains same across any organization.
Duration of the Project, Phases (Feasibility, PPR, DPR) and Reporting requirements Proposals for improvements, if any, (type of cross section, grade separators, major Bridges, Bypasses etc.) Any special types of Surveys and project specific considerations Requirements for Economic and Financial Analysis, Issues on Right of Way (RoW) and Land Acquisition Social and Environmental surveys

Traffic Surveys The initial task of identifying the homogeneous traffic links shall be undertaken on the identified road sections homogeneous traffic links will be established through identification of the major intersections and urban centres. The fixation of locations will be made for traffic volume surveys, both at mid sections and intersections

Traffic Volume Surveys O-D And Commodity Surveys Turning Movement Surveys Parking Surveys Speed And Delay Surveys Cross Pedestrian And Animal Surveys Axle Load Surveys Truck Terminal Surveys Willingness to pay Surveys

TRFFIC FORECASTING Traffic volume count survey gives ADT ADT is to be converted to AADT based on seasonal variation factors seasonal variation factors can be obtained by fuel consumption rates or past trafic data AADT thus obtained shall be used as base year traffic Traffic is to be forecasted for at least next 10 years Traffic Growth rates can be obtained using
Trend Analysis Econometric Model

A more rational method will be to establish a relationship between the socioeconomic variables such as Population, Net State Domestic Product (NSDP) and Per-Capita Income (PCI) on the one hand and the past registration data of different categories of vehicles on the other to determine the elasticity of transport demand with respect to different categories of vehicles. According to IRC: 108 - 1996, an econometric model should be derived

Axle Load Surveys Traffic loading has a significant impact on pavement performance and design. damage that vehicles create to a road depends very strongly on the axle loads of the vehicles. The exact relationship is influenced by the type of road structure and the way the road deteriorates but a `fourth power damage law gives a good approximation.
Measurements will be made for two days over a 24-hour period on random sampling basis. analyse the axle load survey data to bring out the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and Single Axle Load (SAL) distributions by truck type and axle configuration.

Design of Built-upAreas This activity shall focus on design of urban areas in the form of parking lane, service road, sidewalk and roadside drainage underneath the sidewalk etc. All these details shall be clearly shown in the horizontal plan and also typical cross sections shall be prepared. Design of Pavement and Shoulders Overlay Design The performance of pavement in terms of functional performance, structural performance, structural capacity, and safety contribute to the need for an overlay. Functional performance refers to the ability of the pavement surface to provide a reasonable riding quality measured in terms of roughness. Structural performance is the ability to retain the integrity of the pavement by preventing distress in the form of cracks, ruts, potholes, etc. Structural capacity is the pavement's ability to accommodate the axle load on the pavement. Safety aspect refers mainly the skid resistance and hydroplaning potential.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR)

Design of Service Road and Bypass This activity shall focus on design of service road and bypass in terms of number of lanes and pavement composition. The local traffic component shall be segregated and would determine the number of lanes to be provided in the service road. Depending on this traffic loading and soil investigation already carried out, the pavement composition shall be decided. Design of Embankments The embankments would be designed after detailed analysis and as per the relevent standards and latest software available. General design parameters shall follow IRC guidelines. Design of Roadside Drainage Drainage is an important aspect in the design of highway. With poor drainage conditions the pavement will not sustain till the end of design life.
Design of kutcha drain on both sides near RoW limits in rural sections Covered pucca drains near urban areas if necessary Design of chutes in high embankment areas for drainage of surface water In super elevation sections median drains shall be provided As a slope protection measure for high embankment section, turfing on slopes or pitching shall be designed as per the design standards.

General design parameters and loadings shall follow IRC guidelines, amended when necessary in consultation with client. In selecting foundation type, the consultant shall also take into account the time required for construction of alternatives, and give preference to those which minimise construction time. In developing the standard designs and for those designs, which cannot be standardized, computer programs for design and drawing shall be used extensively. On the basis of the investigation and design standards, detailed designs for minor bridges and culverts shall be prepared. Design of Arboricultural and Landscaping Appropriate plans shall be developed for planting of trees, horticulture and floriculture on the unused land of the RoW in order to beautify the project corridor view and improve the overall aesthetics.
