smart road construction progressing in trivandrum

Описание: The Smart City Proposal of TVM includes projects identified to be implemented in Area Based Development and Pan City Proposals. The area selected for area-based development (ABD) is 2.6% of city’s total area i.e. 5.67 sq.km which covers parts of 9 central wards in the city. The total length of roads identified to be developed as smart roads in TVM SCP is 54 KMs. (approx.). The overall scope of the smart road project is to provide overlay design for the existing road with the detailed strip plans, junction designs, cycle track and footpath design and an estimate of the whole project. At frequent intervals, landscape is to be designed to enhance the aesthetics and environment of the roads. Smart components like CCTV, smart poles and variable message boards for real time management are provided for surveillance and general safety.Underground ducting, which is mandatory under smart roads project, is the replacement of existing overhead power supply system and/or telecommunication line and/or similar services with underground cables.Continuous RCC ducts and HDPE pipe duct bank arrangement is proposed to be adopted for underground ducting in this project. The selection shall be decided based on the requirements of the stake holders and site conditions. The manholes for the main utility cable corridor (HDPE ducting) shall be provided at regular intervals according to the requirements of the utility providers. Communication cables shall be accommodated in the main utility cables along road stretches to suit the layout of buildings. Continuous RCC ducting will be provided for the replacement of existing water supply system.
The road geometric design deals with road geometrics such as horizontal and vertical alignment, interventions due to social impact, design safety and road furniture details. For this project road design has been carried out by considering functional and structural aspects as per IRC 86 – 1983. The road signage and markings are placed according to IRC 67-2012 and IRC 35-2015 respectively.
