    GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

    CIVIL (TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING) (13)


    BASICS OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING
    SUBJECT CODE: 2721316
    M.E. 2nd SEMESTER

    Type of course : Open Elective

    Prerequisite : Nil

    Rationale :

    The development of any nation depends on the development of transportation facility.


    Transportation helps in conducting various economic activities in the country. It is important
    to study the various modes of transportation modes. It also includes the study of travel demand
    and its distribution. The course is helpful to understand the overview of the role of
    transportation engineering. It includes the study of traffic engineering. The design aspects of
    the pavement and its evaluation methods are included in the study. It is compulsory to check
    the viability of the projects which require huge investment.

    Course Outcomes:
    1. To provide the basic understanding of Transportation Engineering and its main
    divisions.
    2. To make the students aware of techniques used in transportation planning, traffic flow
    management, pavement – design, construction and its maintenance
    List of Practicals:
    1. Problems based on trip generation, trip distribution, modal split and route assignment

    2. Problems based on spot speed study


    3. Problems based on accident analysis
    4. Problems based on Highway geometrics.
    5. Problems based on passenger and cargo demand forecasting.
    6. Problems based design of flexible pavement, rigid pavement, overlay design.
    7. Problems based on economic evaluation of the projects.

    Open Ended Problems:

    Review Presentation (RP): The concerned faculty member shall provide the list of peer reviewed
    Journals and Tier-I and Tier-II Conferences relating to the subject (or relating to the area of thesis for
    seminar) to the students in the beginning of the semester. The same list will be uploaded on GTU
    website during the first two weeks of the start of the semester. Every student or a group of students shall
    critically study 2 papers, integrate the details and make presentation in the last two weeks of the
    semester. The GTU marks entry portal will allow entry of marks only after uploading of the best 3
    presentations. A unique id number will be generated only after uploading the presentations. Thereafter
    the entry of marks will be allowed. The best 3 presentations of each college will be uploaded on GTU
