Fast Lanes by Design: Quantifying RFID Electronic Tolling Impacts on Plaza Halt Times in Highway
Abstract: Abstract—Rapid urban growth and the steady rise in the number of vehicles have made congestion at highway toll plazas a persistent and costly problem. Long queues at toll booths not only waste travelers’ time but also increase fuel consumption, air pollution, and overall operating costs of the transport system. Traditional manual toll collection methods contribute significantly to these delays, as vehicles are required to stop for cash or card-based transactions. …

Highway Condition Assessment System
Abstract: Roadside path holes convey a significant hazard to both pedestrians and drivers of motor vehicles. Road detection of damage is the responsibility of government agencies, which are made up of engineers and laborers. It is not practical to evaluate every section of the road efficiently by hand as it takes a long time and a large number of workers. The detection can be automated as a solution to this problem. …

Towards a Geotechnical Input-Based Conceptual Cost Estimating Methodology for Highway Projects
Abstract: The trend in the literature reveals a wide range of innovative approaches which have been proposed to improve the accuracy of conceptual estimates. These techniques are usually based on differing analytical approaches. Although these techniques obtain estimates that closely approximate actual costs, the requisite time and resources to gather sufficient data or obtain relevant information during initial project stages may not be possible. The study proposes that for a road …

The Efficacy of Hybrid Annuity Model: Sanitation Infrastructure
Abstract: The Hybrid Annuity Model has garnered significant acclaim as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework for highway infrastructure development since its inception in 2016, in response to a waning enthusiasm for PPP initiatives aimed at revitalizing the sector. This model is postulated to amalgamate the advantages of both public and private sectors, as it alleviates the financial encumbrance on concessionaires by permitting governmental investment of 40% of the requisite capital during …
