Road from/to other road routes including bypasses.<br />
3. The trip matrices shall be worked out for each vehicle type information and<br />
weight for trucks should be summed up by commodity type and the results<br />
tabulated, giving total weight and average weight per truck for the various<br />
commodity types. The sample size for each vehicle type shall be indicated in a<br />
table and also in the graphical representations.<br />
4. The data derived from surveys shall also be analysed to bring out the lead and<br />
load characteristics and desire line diagrams. The data analysis should also<br />
bring out the requirement for the construction of bypasses.<br />
5. The distribution of lead and load obtained from the surveys should be<br />
compared with those derived from the axle load studies.<br />
6. The commodity movement data should be duly taken into consideration while<br />
making the traffic demand estimates.<br />
4.9.4. Turning Movement Surveys<br />
1. The turning movement surveys for estimation of peak hour traffic for the<br />
design of major and minor intersections shall be carried out for the Study. The<br />
details regarding composition and directional movement of traffic shall be<br />
furnished by the Consultant.<br />
2. The methodology for the surveys shall be as per IRC: SP: 41-1994. The details<br />
including location and duration of surveys shall be finalized in consultation<br />
with NHIDCL officials. The proposal in response to this TOR shall clearly<br />
indicate the number of locations where the Consultant wishes to conduct<br />
turning movement surveys and the rationale for the same.<br />
3. The data derived from the survey should be analysed to identify requirements<br />
of suitable remedial measures, such as construction of underpasses, fly-overs,<br />
interchanges, grade-separated intersections along the project road alignment.<br />
Intersections with high traffic volume requiring special treatments either<br />
presently or in future shall be identified.<br />
4.9.5. Axle Load Surveys<br />
1. Axle load surveys in both directions shall be carried out at suitable location(s)<br />
in each project road stretch on a random sample basis normally for trucks only<br />
(both empty and loaded trucks) for 2 normal days - (24 hours) at special count<br />
stations to be finalised in consultation with NHIDCL. However, a few buses<br />
may be weighed in order to get an idea about their loading behaviour. While<br />
selecting the location(s) of axle load survey station(s), the locations of existing<br />
bridges with load restrictions, if any, should be taken into account and such<br />
sites should be avoided.<br />
2. The axle load surveys shall normally be done using axle load pads or other<br />
sophisticated instruments. The location(s) of count station(s) and the survey<br />
methodology including the data formats and the instrument type to be used<br />
shall be finalised before taking up the axle load surveys.<br />
3. The axle load data should be collected axle configuration-wise. The number of<br />
equivalent standard axles per truck shall be calculated on the basis of results
