CE-415 Transportation Engineering II

Instructor: Prof. K. V. Krishna RaoSlot: 12Lecture hours: MON 17.05 18.30 & THU 17.05 18.30

Transportation Systems Engineering Transportation Engineering deals with planning, analysis

and design, implementation, operation and maintenance of transportation systems

Components of a transportation system Fixed facilities Flow entities Control systems

Transportation systems should be planned, implemented, operated and maintained for efficient movement of people and goods overcoming friction of geographic separation for timely participation in desired activities without creating economic waste

Transportation Systems Highway transportation system

Intercity Rural Urban

Railway transportation system Intercity Regional rail Urban rail Transit

Airway transportation system Domestic International

Water Transportation System Inland water transportation system Shipping

Pipeline and conveyor systems

Objective of the Present Course To impart knowledge on the planning and

engineering aspects of the following two transportation systems Air Transportation system

At the end of the course the student is expected to be conversant with the planning and design of airports

Rail Transportation System At the end of the course the student is expected to

be conversant with significant aspects of railway engineering

Airbus 380

Planning and Design of AirportsContents

History and organisation of air transport Aircraft characteristics related to airport design Airport configuration -orientation and configuration of runways, holding

aprons, holding bays and taxiways, and obstruction requirements Airport planning and air travel demand forecasting Geometric design of the landing area airport classification, runways,

taxiways, holding aprons and separation clearances Planning and design of the terminal area the gate-apron system,

aircraft parking systems, terminal building, access interface Design of airfield pavements airport lighting and marking Design of airfield pavements EIA of airport projects
