"Empowering Minds, Engineering the Future
Smart roads and other smart road technologies are relevant to the advancement of the transportation sector of a country. We are going to dig deep into this in the upcoming sections. We’ve all learned about connected vehicles, self-driving cars, GPS mapping, applications for route optimization and ride-hailing services, after all
Hyperloop technology has been in main stream headlines ever since Elon Musk announced its construction. Today, we are going to discuss in details about all the aspect of a hyperloop. The working of hyperloop, its pros and cons, technical details, will be explained in each of the following sections.
Component of a bridge/ bridge components plays a very important role in maintaining the stability and functional requirements of the bridge structure. Each bridge component has its functions. The bridge component types and functions vary as per the site conditions, design requirements, and functional requirements. This article is about a total overview of the components of bridge/bridge components.
Components of a road or parts of a road plays an important part in ensuring the safety and service life of a road. Components of a road is designed to meet the design requirements, functional requirements etc. This article is about the components of road/parts of a road and its functions.
Types of road construction are significant to understand the category of roads and their characteristics. In this blog, we will find out the details of 5 types in detail. Whitetopping is the coating of a layer of Portland cement concrete on the existing asphalt pavement. Depending on the thickness of the concrete sheet and if the layer is bonded to the asphalt substrate, whitetopping is divided into different types
Road pavement structure: Road is the most important structure that decides the economic growth of a country. The road structure to be constructed based on the traffic requirements, climatic conditions of the area, terrain, etc. The road structure has to withstand abrasion loads and climatic and terrain conditions without failure. This article is about the components of a flexible pavement structure.
Transport is the main source of GHG. An electric vehicle can be used as an alternative source. We will find out the basic details of EVs along with its challenges and solutions. EVs are defined as vehicles that use an electric motor for propulsion. Although EVs offer several advantages and can be used in different application, there are several challenges in the popular use of them.
Types of pavement are mainly four. I will show you the each of them in detail with the advantages and disadvantages. The flexible pavement layer may reflect the non recoverable as well as recoverable deformations of the lower layer including subgrade on the upper layers and also to the pavement surface. The vertical compressive stress is maximum on the pavement surface directly under the wheel load and is equal to the contact pressure under the wheel.
Electronic toll collection is one of the best advancements of Intelligent transportation system in transportation sector. We will see what is electronic toll collection in the next section. Later, I will walk you through four subsystems of ETC. They are automatic vehicle classification (AVC), violation enforcement system (VES), automatic vehicle identification (AVI) and transaction processing, which includes a back office and customer service center. The advantages, cost and disadvantages of ETC will also be discussed
Coning of wheels is an interesting topic in railway engineering. In this blog, we will see the theory of coming of rail wheels, starting from what is coning of wheels. What is coning of wheels? The space between the inner borders of wheel rims is by and large kept less than the measurement of the track.
