TOR of Guj RAMS

Section 5.
Terms of Reference
1. INTRODUCTION
The Government of Gujarat (GoG) through Roads & Buildings Department (R&BD) is responsible
for maintaining and improving about 77,577 km of roads including the road categories of State
Highways (SH), Major District Roads (MDR), Other District Roads (ODR), and Village roads (VR).
R&BD, GoG, developed Gujarat Road Management System (GRMS) under World Bank assisted
project Gujarat State Highways Project-1 (GSHP-1) for scientific network level planning and smart
utilisation of funds with the help of computer applications during 2003-06. So far, R&BD has
implemented GRMS in phases to include SH, MDR, ODR, and VR (Plan) road network and has used
it for assessing both annual maintenance requirements/ improvements on the network along with the
related budget estimates.
GRMS comprises of nine (9) key modules / sub-systems, apart from system administration and its
corresponding database, as below:
1. Road Information System (RIS)

2. Traffic Information System (TIS)
3. Pavement Management System (PMS) and PMS-Practical/Simplified
4. Routine Maintenance Management System (RMMS)
5. Bridge Management System (BMS)
6. Environment and Social Information System (EIS)
7. Accident Information System (AIS)
8. Monitoring and Evaluation System (MES)
9. Budgeting and Programming Module (BAP)
All above mentioned modules / sub-systems are systematically interlinked with each other with
logical, analytical functions. These modules communicate with each other through computer
algorithms, for data transfer, processes, analyses with the common objective of annual work
programme and multi-year work programme preparation. A detailed description of the current version
of GRMS is provided in Annexure A, while the functional specifications desired for the proposed
GujRAMS are provided in Annexure B. Bidders should note that Annexure A is more of a reference
and that R&BD desires to maintain most of the core functionality of the older version.
Like any other Road Management System (RMS), GRMS database also has various types of data
collected for preparing the annual / multi-year work programmes. R&BD has collected the data on
select road network in different time periods since 2006, as per the priorities of the department. A
detailed note on data available in GRMS is also provided in Annexure A.
In 2015, KPMG reviewed the GRMS as a part of their Assessment of IT-ICT-MIS Integration,
Capacity & Gaps for the R&BD. As stated in their report, the use of GRMS after 2012 has been
rather limited as no data was updated since then due to the following reasons:
Technical challenges: Existing GRMS does not have any upgradation support from earlier
IT-stakeholder agency. Currently no updates are applied on GRMS. The application Server is
currently not live into production. The architecture supports integration with any MIS system.
Regular update of data is not happening. Application of data is highly important. Most of the
data is dynamic in nature and changes over a period of time. Hence it is prudent to use the
data regularly to achieve the maximum benefits. Similarly not having web based platform
unveils lot of dependency on so many uncertainties. But migration of client/ servers to Web
Page 1
based solution for GRMS appears not to be very critical but will reduce the dependency on
usage from client machines and maintenance of application will be much easier.
Institutional challenges: Trained and skilled resources transfer as per Government norms.
Success of full fledged training and technology transfer, to great extent hand holding and
even beyond Client agencies preparedness to avail such assistance through outsourcing is
critical. Any new stakeholder shall always keep in mind the development, O&M or even
system maintenance/upgrade/ testing etc. in closest possible consultation and interaction with
R&BD officials.
Resource requirements: Division offices are widely spread and the lack of connectivity and
bandwidth hamper the usage of the application.
User-friendliness (features required, but not available in current GRMS): Currently Mobile
App for handheld devices which can be used for data updation is not available. Provision for
such apps will increase efficiency of GRMS usage.
Obsolete technology: The existing version of GRMS was running on Windows XP platform,
for which Microsoft has officially discontinued support in April 2014.
For the above reasons and to enhance the departments effectiveness in prioritizing and implementing
its work programs, R&BD now intends to fully upgrade existing system with state-of-the-art
technologies along with various enhancements identified by R&BD in the use of the Gujarat Road
Asset Management System.
2. OBJECTIVE

ANNEXURE A
PART 1: DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING GRMS
Introduction
The development of RMS for Roads and Buildings Department (R&BD), Gujarat was undertaken as part of the
Institutional Strengthening and Consultancy Services [ISCS] project with loan assistance from the World
Bank under Gujarat State Highway Project (GSHP) in the year 2003. The main objective was to improve the
quality and delivery of services in the development and management of the road system. The Road Management
System (RMS) was intended to enhance the capabilities of the R&BD by providing a source of readily
accessible, relevant and valid information on the road system as well as improved support for decision-making
by providing modern, analytical tools.
System Components:
Gujarat Road Management System (GRMS) integrates nine core modules and additional administrative features
for performing system administration, data aggregation and maintenance.

3. Pavement Management System (PMS)
4. Routine Maintenance Management System
(RMMS)
6. Environment and Social Information
System (EIS)
7. Accident Information System (AIS)
9. Budgeting and Programming Module
(BAP)
GRMS was designed and developed using

Microsoft technology. The system server
environment is Windows 2000/2003 based.
MTS/COM+ was used as the Application
Server and SQL Server 2000 for the database.
The architecture employed is multi-tiered,
component based and distributed to ensure
running of the system in both client-server and
stand-alone models (with data synchronization
mechanism). The servers are located at HQ
(Nirman Bhawan) and communication to field
offices is achieved using GSWAN. GRMS has
used Commercial-Off- the-Shelf (COTS)
products like HIMS as its core engine to define
RIS, BIS, PMS and RMMS. Further, it is also
integrated with few custom developed modules
such as TIS, EIS, AIS, MES and HDM-4 as external application. The system has integrated third-party Tatuk
GIS platform for visual display of attributes, querying, building dynamic thematic maps and spatial and attribute
data output in industry standard formats.
Page 17
Road Information System [RIS]: The main functions of RIS are; to establish and maintain a linear location
referencing system for the road network and road assets, keep asset inventory and condition rating information.
Other features include data input mechanism, validation, processing and supply of information to PMS and other
modules within GRMS.
Traffic Information System [TIS]: The TIS has been designed and developed to meet the current and future
needs of collection, storage and usage/analysis of traffic data. The system is capable of storing and managing
regular and special traffic counts, origin-destination survey data and axle-load data. The in-built facility includes
assigning traffic to the road network, estimating traffic growth and performing various analysis routines and
generating outcomes.
Pavement Management System [PMS]: It was felt during the development stage, after interaction with
R&BD, that a simplified PMS based on pre-defined decision tree matrix has more chances of being successful
than a traditional complex HDM-4 based model. Therefore, PMS module was split into a simplified, PMS
(PMS-1), and a HDM-4 based PMS (PMS-2) which is for advanced user. Tools in PMS processes the data to
homogeneous sections and transforms the network data to take advanced analysis in either PMS-1 or PMS-2
Page 18
PMS-1 Practical PMS is used for assigning road sections to preliminary annual works and maintenance
programmes (reconstruction, strengthening, widening, periodic maintenance) based on technical criteria
(including traffic and pavement characteristics) and predefined treatments with feasible economic parameters
using HDM-4 based case studies. PMS-1 is, thus, used to prepare a long list of unconstrained annual works
programme,
PMS-2 HDM4-PMS is used for transferring the data on the road sections to HDM-4 for strategy and
programme analysis for multi-year planning.
Routine Maintenance Management System [RMMS]: RMMS is designed to standardize routine maintenance
activities, prepare quantity standards, and assign routine maintenance treatments. The model calculates the need
for routine maintenance works on the pavement, shoulder, road sign, culvert, road marking and other assets
within R-O-W based on the inventory and condition. It then prioritizes road sections based on pre-defined
priority index and calculates allocations for each district. There is also facility to assign maintenance contracts
for the selected activities and modify work type and quantity, if necessary.
Page 19
Bridge Management System [BMS]: The purpose of BMS is to monitor and manage the bridge stock of the
State (represented by the bridge inventory) so that data is available for sound decisions concerning the
maintenance, upgrading and replacement of bridges. It maintains a permanent and easily accessible record of the
condition of all bridges, based on the initial inventory survey and regular condition surveys thereafter. It also
allows planning of structured programs for bridge works in conformity with R&BD policies, and the funding
necessary to implement the works required to maintain the infrastructure. As an integral part of the overall
GRMS, this module has been designed to store and analyze; bridges condition data, determine the ranking and
priority of bridge maintenance works and, evaluate the need for repairs or replacement. It also provides data
input for the determination of an Annual Works Programme.
Environmental & Social Information System [EIS]: EIS provides a systematic database of environmental and
social information at area and at link level. It provides necessary data and a platform to undertake specialized
analysis for Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) or Social Impact Assessment (SIA). EIS provides a
comprehensive database of environmentally sensitive areas and automatically flags a road section if it is being
short-listed for widening or other development activity. This is a valuable tool for all those engaged in the road
development in the State.
Accident Information System [AIS]: The system is envisaged to act as the central database for accident
information, identify black-spots and carry out analyses for safety-related studies. The referencing system for
accident locations is based on the referencing system established in RIS and is integrated with other modules
within GRMS, as appropriate.
Monitoring and Evaluation System [MES]: The objective of MES is to measure and assess project(s)
performance in order that progress can be more effectively monitored, and in so doing control measure can be
put in place. The main function of the MES is, therefore, to monitor financial and physical progress of three
major components, i.e., civil works, GoGs and consultants services.
Budgeting and Prioritization [BAP]: This module is designed to undertake budgeting studies and
prioritization of works. The analytical model, assigns works based on user-defined budgets and allowed
maintenance activities under each head.
Page 20
Implementation:
GRMS has been implemented at all levels of GoG decision hierarchy; Division, Circle and the HQ. Generally,
successful implementation of a computerized application in a government department is considered very
difficult. The implementation has been a challenge and it has been talked about as a success story at many
national and international forums.
Figure 1: GRMS Dedicated Server
The chronology of implementation of GRMS is as follows:
1. Development Phase: 2003-2006

2. Implementation Phases:
a. Phase 1 (5 Pilot Districts-5000 km SH) 2005-2006
b. Phase 2 (All Core SH 6000 km) 2006
c. Phase 3 (All SH 19000 km) 2006-2007
d. Phase 4 (All MDR+ODR 33000 km) 2008-2009
e. Phase 5 (All VR 21000 km) 2010-2011
A policy planning unit is in place at central level under a Chief Engineer and engineers assigned to work
exclusively for the GRMS. The staff of policy and planning unit participates in activities of data collection /
compilation and use. This unit in R&BD ensure that funding and budget are allocated to appropriate areas.
Page 21
Data Collection:
Data collection is the most difficult and expensive part of any asset management system, therefore, it was dealt
with very cautiously. Only such data was collected which was required for strategic decision making model.
Procedures were developed for a simplified visual condition survey. At the same time, the system is capable of
accepting data collected by other devices, though it involved some modification of the processing. After the
pilot implementation, data has been updated periodically by the Consultants under supervision of the R&BD
through the Policy Planning Unit. The following data was collected and information generated up to 2011 i.e.
five years of its implementation.

ANNEXURE A
PART 2: SOME ENHANCEMENTS REQUIRED IN GUJRAMS
The following sections describe some of the enhanced requirements identified during the use of the current
GRMS. The Consultant should not consider this as exhaustive and should do a thorough study of the GRMS to
identify any additional requirements (as stipulated in Task 1)
a. Network Referencing System and GIS
The existing RIS is implemented using node, link & km stone offset based linear location referencing system.
R&BD engineers are facing difficulties in using this system in the field to correlate with R&BDs Km chainage
system where Km Stones are not available. Therefore, R&BD wishes to upgrade the referencing system to Km
Point based on R&BDs Km chainage referencing system. This linear referencing will integrate with spatial
referencing system (projected coordinate system UTM-WGS84 and linear route/measure systems), such that
GPS reference can also be used for data collection.
Further, the network referencing system should be able to interface with linear and point asset data and produce
thematic maps using variation of values on linear representation by dynamic segmentation method of GIS to be
established using Km Chainage.
The current GIS facility is View Only. There is no facility to edit the spatial data and to integrate with the
linear referencing data in the database. Consultant will provide a web-enabled common GIS network editor
linked with GujRAMS to read / edit the spatial data and referencing system simultaneously. Both the spatial
and the linear referencing will be tight-coupled and integrated with each other. Further, the RIS shall have
feature to add external shape files and/or digitise to create roads/sections and carryout spatial maintenance such
as splitting, merging, calibrating chainage/direction, changing jurisdiction/classification etc.
Recently GOG has declared seven (7) new districts from the erstwhile districts through its gazette notification.
Consultants shall do the necessary amendments in GujRAMS database including modifying/ adjusting /
creating location referencing and GIS-maps, to reflect the new districts in the database.
b. Asset Information
The RIS will be designed to input, store and report existing asset and its information. Further, it should also be
enhanced to include following features:
Provision to input, store, and report R-O-W line and features (like trees, poles, underground or visible
utilities, social amenities etc.) - details of the feature, GPS location, offset from the carriageway
edge/centreline, side of the road etc;
Provision to add more assets in consultation with R&BD;
Additional data fields for storing (including option to bulk import) road geometry, and other data
proposed to be captured using automated equipment including enhanced processing ability of these data
to be used for PMS
Ability to attach documents, multimedia files (images/videos) with assets and view in GIS;
c. Linear Charts
R&BD intends to have features in GujRAMS to produce dynamic linear diagrams/strip charts in various
modules of GujRAMS using data held in it. The consultant shall identify and propose the requirement of linear
diagram in all the GujRAMS modules and suggest PPU. As agreed by PIU the consultant will include the data
features in each module in the dynamic linear diagrams by using a Web-based tool that will be integrated with
GujRAMS. For example the linear charts to display R-O-W lines, carriageway, shoulder, R-O-W features,
location of CD structures, bridges and various road data in strip charts.
Page 23
The Consultant shall also design the GujRAMS such that it can establish mapping with F1 and F2 3 with
necessary changes in the current location referencing system for entire road network (excluding non-plan village
roads), and dynamically generate F1 and F2 chart outputs. The Consultant shall finalize requirement of Location
Referencing vis--vis F1 and F2 charts in consultation with R&BD, R&BD may require to add various other
administrative requirement such as (MLA, MP constituency etc).
d. Integration with Work Monitoring System

The R&BD already has been using a system to monitor the physical and financial progress of road works in the
state. Details of the system are given in Annex C.
The Consultant will provide support to integrate Work Monitoring System (WMS) with GujRAMS along with
Data upload / download in GujRAMS format.

The Consultant shall design a Web-TIS to provide all functions, asset data input (forms and excel based upload),
storage, query, view and reports as in the existing TIS. In addition, it should have facility to process and input
hourly data captured using Automatic Traffic Counter and Classifier (ATCC) machines. The TIS will be
accessible via the common GIS-enabled platform.
3. Pavement Management System (PMS)

PMS module in GRMS has two sub-modules, a simplified catalogue based treatment assignment tool (PMS-1),
and a HDM-4 based PMS (PMS-2) which is for advanced user. The Consultant shall design Web-PMS (1&2) to
provide all functions, asset data input (forms and excel based upload), storage, query, view and reports as in the
existing system. In addition, the consultant shall make at least the following refinements:
The HDM4 - PMS module available in GRMS helps in preparing the network files for HDM-4 analysis.
However, the files extracted from existing version of GRMS are only compatible with HDM-4 Ver.1.3. Now a
newer version HDM-4 V2.0 is available. Hence, a new tool/module/interface in GujRAMS needs to be
developed for generating the network files which can be used in HDM-4 V2.0 or any newer version.. Also, the
current HDM-4 interface only provides a function to prepare and extract relevant files for HDM-4 strategy and
programme analysis. It is desired that the proposed interface shall have additional provision to import processed
HDM-4 output inside GujRAMS for further data analysis and reporting.

In addition to making provision of existing functions, tools, asset data input (forms and excel based upload),
storage, query, view and reports of the RMMS accessible in the GujRAMS, the Consultant shall enable the
RMMS at the very least, to have the following additional facilities:
Additional data fields to include headwall distance for culverts
Provision of data fields to store inventory and condition data of causeways

The Consultant shall transfer all existing functions, asset data input (forms and excel based upload), storage,

prioritization for entire R&BD network as required from time to time before Annual budget preparation for
R&BD.
8. Road Safety Asset Management System [RSAMS]

The system is envisaged to act as the central database for accident information, identify black-spots and carry
out analyses for safety-related studies. The Consultant shall transfer all functions, asset data input (forms and
excel based upload), storage, query, view and reports from the existing AIS to the RSAMS module in
GujRAMS. In addition, the consultant shall make at least the following enhancements:
a. Road Safety Assets

R&BD is providing various road safety related furniture such as milestones, km stones, guard stones,
informatory signboards, cautionary boards, village name boards, delineation of lanes with thermo-plastic paint,
cats eye, bollards, retro reflective signboards, metal crash barriers, different kinds of barriers in causeway,

b. Provision for iRAP Data

The International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) is a registered charity dedicated to saving lives through
safer roads. The iRAP software assesses road safety of roads on a 1-star to 5-star scale (5 being the best), and
assigns Star Rating scores of the road sections / segments based on detailed inspection and assessment of more
than 50 road attributes at 100 metre intervals. Such assessment of road network facilitates identification of road
safety improvement opportunities. R&BD has used iRAP on some of its roads and plans to increasingly make
such scientific assessments of road safety on its road network.. As such, during this assignment, consultants are
expected to review the iRAP documents and identify the availability of the relevant data attributes in current
GRMS database. Thereafter, consultant shall make necessary provisions in the GujRAMS database to store the
additional data attributes by creating necessary data fields. These additional data attributes are expected to be
placed under the respective GujRAMS modules or a separate sub-module in RSAMS but accessible centrally via
the GIS-enabled RSAMS interfaces. Upon completion of this task, consultant should ensure that the GujRAMS
database contains provisions to store all the iRAP related data.
9. Enhancement of existing Mobile App

R&BD has developed a Road Mitra, a mobile app for recording of road condition along with photographs.
Detailed description of Road Mitra is provided in Annex D.
The R&BD now intends to enhance Road Mitra (to be named as Maru Marg) and make it available to the
public. Ideally, in addition to enabling recording of visual inspection of the assets by the R&BD, the application
will both enable the R&BD to disseminate road related information to public, and enable the public to post
grievances/feedback on roads for suitable incorporation of such feedback in planning and execution of future
work improvement programs. It should also enable R&BD to monitor redressal of public grievances.
As such, the Consultant shall enhance the Road Mitra based on functional requirements provided in Annexure
B, fine tune the same in consultation with the R&BD, and will integrate it with the GujRAMS.

II. DATA REQUIREMENTS
Data collection procedures through visual inspection was established during development of GRMS software as
part of the Institutional Strengthening Consultancy services (ISCS) (under GSHP-I) during 2003-06. Even
though R&BD would like to automate data collection, it still wishes to retain the visual assessment procedure in
the system as an alternative data collection procedure. To this effect, any addition of tables in the database,
refinement of processing and analytical tools for RIS, TIS, PMS-HDM-4, Simplified PMS, RMMS and other
modules may have to be refined/added. As such, the Consultant is expected to do a review of the existing
procedure and suggest, finalize, and re-design the GujRAMS (in discussion with R&BD) to accommodate this
requirement.
Further, various manuals/documents including Data collection Procedure Report were developed during 2003-
06. However, when this data collection procedure report was developed, only SH network was present in GRMS
database. At later stages R&BD implemented GRMS to include MDR, ODR, and VR network in its database.
To include these new road categories in GRMS database, various procedures specific to MDR, ODR and VR
road categories were followed by department. However, these procedures are not documented in the existing
Data collection Procedure Report. For example, the nomenclature used for preparation of location referencing
of MDR, ODR, and VR is different from the SH.
R&BD has also added some new data fields such as headwall distance in culvert inventory data collection
format and transverse offset in encroachment data collection format, and amended some data collection formats
to cater the department needs. Even though these revised data collection formats were used for the data
collection in the previous assignments, they are not documented in the Data collection Procedure Report. In
some data collection formats, few columns have been retained for providing additional information about
specific data attributes, but these columns are seldom used by the department while collecting and compiling the
data. The Consultant shall rationalize all such fields.
In the GRMS database there are pre-defined area codes for all the department divisions for defining the access
of the users belong to respective divisions. In this list of area codes, there are some divisions which are not in
existence. Thus, The Consultant will finalize a list of area codes as per the existing and functioning divisions.
Page 39
III. SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, USER ADMINISTRATION & SECURITY
REQUIREMENTS
(a) Software Platform Requirements
GRMS was developed in compatibility with Windows- XP. With release of newer technologies and many new
Microsoft OSs such as Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 upgrading GRMS has become inevitable.
Therefore, R&BD has decided to do appropriate changes in the GRMS to make it web-GIS based, so that it can
be used by any popular web browser compatible on any Operating System. The modules of GujRAMS will be
used at R&BD HQ and in all field offices and few modules will be available for citizens. The main server
running the application and database will be housed in the State Data Center (SDC) or as directed by R&BD. It
will have a dedicated link (through extended LAN/leased line) to the P&PU at headquarters. The modules will
be web-GIS based and will be hosted through a web server. These will be accessible to all field, regional, and
HQ offices through a user ID and password. The user ID and password will also be used to authenticate the user
for accessibility to various functions and levels of GujRAMS.
The data in GRMS is managed using SQL Server 2000 since the inception of GRMS. Now several upgrades of
SQL Server and other options of RDBMS are available in the market including open source. Hence, consultant
will explore and propose the best RDBMS to be employed considering the spatial and non-spatial data
requirements and effective management including user/data security. R&BD will prefer open source databases,
or a particular database if there is any potential advantage offered by it. Necessary table and data dictionary is
required to be re-designed in the selected database to make it compatible with the available functionality in
GujRAMS modules.
The required license of GIS software and GIS map server will be purchased by the Consultant and handed over
to the client. If a desktop network editor is provided, at-least 2 nos. of license will be handed over the client. The
licenses must also include AMC for 3-year support period, and allow upgrade incase a newer version is released.
Consultant is encouraged to use any open source map server which allows free commercial use and no cost to
R&BD in future. The Consultant will specify the cost of the license and versions of the GIS software.
(b) Web-GIS Interface Requirements

The system will enable view of existing data in spatial layers in different themes based on various
road/bridge/culvert data and overlay external layers and maps with online satellite data services such as Google
Map.
The software will have GIS capability to display the attribute data of roads in a user-configurable thematic map
interface. It should have the following capabilities:
Integrate road, culvert, bridge, R-o-W features, road safety and data stored in all the modules and
display as layers in the Web-GIS
GPS data integration (an interface to transfer data from external source/ equipment) and show on the
GIS
GIS map plotting/ thematic map preparation capability for the attributes of the road section and bridges
as well as viewed in the GIS.
The GIS interface should be able to query and display data along the length in a dynamically
segmented section
The GIS interface should be able to view background GIS data held in the clients GIS database
The GIS interface should enable viewing of video/image data as stored or referenced, by the direction
and chainage of the video lookup tables stored in the database
Page 40
The GIS-based interface must have facility to overlay open-source map layers, and/or satellite imageries, and
shared layers. There shall be no restriction on the number of layers that can be overlaid. The addition of layers
must be user configurable and with appropriate access control
(c) Hardware Requirements

When GRMS started functioning for the first time in 2005-2006, database servers (database server, application
server and backup server) were procured for the purpose of data transmission, analyses and storage. Now these
servers are of out dated configurations, thus R&BD decided to enhance these servers with new servers of latest
configurations and latest technologies, under buy back option of existing server. For purchasing the new server
R&BD has made an agreement with Gujarat Informatics Limited (GIL). GIL will procure the server and make it
available to the consultant. The server will be finally hosted at the State Data Centre (SDC) or NIC Data Centre
after necessary testing/audit.
(d) Security and User Administration Requirements

The GujRAMSmust have a separate module for administration of the security and users. It should have
following functions.
(i) Authentication: The system will adopt Single Sign On (SSO) security system for authentication if in
place in SDC with appropriate encryption level for user data. The consultant will make alternate
arrangements to build own security module to create/manage users if the SSO facility is not available.
(ii) Authorization: Following levels of user security management features must be present in the
GujRAMS application:
User Management GujRAMS will request list of users through the Web interface to assign
role and jurisdiction.
Role Management - The system will define levels of system use (roles). This will allow
grouping of select functions available in a module(s), and create roles for users. The functions
must include separate mode for view only, and/or editing for all such functions and allow for
assignment of role(s) to users.
(iii) Jurisdiction management: The system will define (or add new) hierarchical jurisdiction of R&BD (sub-
division, division, circle, districts), political jurisdictions (block, district, MLA/MP constituency etc.) or
any other jurisdiction type as desired by R&BD in the future. Further, the system will allow to assign
jurisdiction to a road or a part of the road for data reporting.
Page 41
ANNEXURE C: DESCRIPTION OF WORKS MONITORING SYSTEM
The works monitoring system is developed for R&BD of Gujarat by NIC to

monitor both Budgeted and Non Budgeted Works. The Budget and Work
related entries are done at the R&B Secretariat and progress and expenditure
related entries are done at the Circle and Division Level. This is a single
integrated suite for R&B Civil Works of State, Panchayat and Capital Projects,
machinery inventory and Quarters allocation and rent management. This
application has the provision to maintain the quarterly returns of utilization of
machinery and monthly demand and collection of Quarter's rent.
The site is functional since FY 2010-11 on the URL: http://rnbwms.guj.nic.in
Reports from the system are the basis for SE level review meetings and ministerial meetings. SOR is
incorporated into the system. There is provision for rate finalization per year per division as per the existing
norms. The application has been developed in PHP and PostgreSQL along with jQuery, PHPExcel and FPDF
libraries. A customized forum based on PHPBB forum is incorporated for simple FAQs, Document Sharing and
Knowledge Management between the offices.
The interoffice messaging is carried out electronically through the inbuilt messenger. WMS is a web based
application.
Currently there are 151 different user account/IDs active in WMS.

The features of the application include:
i. Provision to enter all Civil Work related parameters (Budget details, AA, TS, Tender, Work
Order, Progress, etc.)
ii. Integrated Contractors master (with provisions to view the total works per contract)
iii. Adhoc reports can be prepared with the data exported either completely or selectively into
standard excel work sheets

ANNEXURE E: HDM-4 CALIBRATION
Calibration of the HDM model focuses on the two primary components that determine the physical quantities,
costs and benefits predicted for the analysis, namely:
- Road User Effects (RUE) comprised of vehicle operating costs (VOC), travel time, safety and
emissions, and
- Road deterioration and works effects (RDWE) comprised of the deterioration of the pavement and
the impact of maintenance activities on pavement condition and the future rate of pavement
deterioration.
A Level 1 Calibration shall be done through desk study with collection of secondary data, the calibration should
include Climate, Vehicle Operating Cost, Unit costs (RUE and RDWE), characteristics of representative
vehicles, economic analysis data (discount rate and analysis period), pavement characteristics (RDWE) and
traffic composition and growth rates. HDM often calls for a wide range of input data and calibration parameters.
However, only the most important need to be established for with Level 1 calibration, and the HDM default
values should be used almost exclusively.
A Level 2 Calibration uses direct measurements of local conditions to verify and adjust the predictive capability
of the model. It requires a higher degree of data collection and precision than in a Level 1 calibration, and
extends the scope. For RUE, it concentrates on speed, fuel consumption, tyre consumption, parts consumption
and the fixed costs relating to utilization and vehicle life. For RDWE, it concentrates on the initiations of surface
distress modes, rutting progression, and maintenance effects, and enhances the estimate of environmental
impacts. For the economic analysis, it ties cost data more closely to observed cost and price levels through data
collection surveys. Level 2 calibrations, require detailed input data collection than with Level 1.
A Level 3 calibration is generally comprised of two components:
- Improved data collection
- Fundamental research
Some data items can be estimated with reasonable accuracy using short-term counts, for example the hourly
distribution of traffic volume, but the reliability is greatly enhanced by collection data over more Links over a
longer period.
Fundamental research considers the relationships used in HDM. This consists of structured field surveys and
experimental studies conducted under local conditions which lead to alternative relationships. For example,
alternative functions may be developed for predicting fuel consumption or new pavement deterioration and
maintenance effects functions for different pavement types. Such work requires a major commitment to good
quality, well-structured field research and statistical analysis over a period of several years. Pavement
deterioration research is a particularly long-term endeavor, typically requiring a minimum of 5 years.
