UPGRADATION OF PATIALA RAJPURA ROAD TO SHAHPUR AFGANA

CALCULATION OF DESIGN TRAFFIC

Description Abrevation Value

No. of commercial vehicles per day as per last count P 348

PCU as per last count 1737

Design life in years n 10

Annual growth rate of commercial vehicles r 6%

Lane distribution factor D 1

Vehicles damage factor as per IRC:SP:72-2007 calculated as under:- F

Total VDF 35.02 0.46 165.88 4.03 40.12 - 65.78 3.10 314.39

Average VDF 0.90

ESAL Formula = T0 x 4811 x L

Where T0 = ESAL per day = No. of commercial vehicles per day in the year of opening x VDF

No. of commercial vehicles in the year of opening = 348 x 1.06 = 369

T0 = 369 x 0.90 = 332

L = Lane distribution factor = 1 for single or intermidiate lane

Total ESAL applications = 332 x 4811 x 1 = 1597252

Since the ESAL applications are more than 1000000 so as per IRC:37:1984 the design traffic is calculated as under:

Total msa = ESAL applications/106 = 1.597 msa or say 1.6 msa

Total PCU after 10 years = 1737 x (1.06)10 = 3109
