Course Co-ordinators: Prof. A. Veeraragavan and Dr S. Anjan Kumar
Instructors Affiliations: Former Professor, IIT Madras; Asso Professor, IIT Guwahati
Course Summary and Key Benefits:
Currently, design, construction and maintenance of highway pavements are as per codal provisions. Due to non – availability of good quality conventional materials, there is a need to consider alternate materials in the design, construction, and maintenance forsustainable pavement systems. The life cycle performance of alternate designs and rehabilitation are to be considered by the agency to ensure that the pavements are designed to last long. The quality of construction has profound influence on the performance of pavements. The executive course will address sustainability issues in material selection, design, construction, quality control and maintenance management of pavements, with case studies.

Course Title: Surrogate Safety Measures: Data Collection, Analyses and Interpretation
Course Co-ordinator: Prof. Avijit Maji
Instructors and Affiliations:Prof. Avijit Maji, Prof. ShriniwasArkatkar, and Prof. Gourab Sil
Course Summary and Key Benefits:
Crash data analyses and meaningful interpretations of it are essentialsteps fordeveloping safer roadway infrastructure. Similarly, pre-crash detailsarehelpfulin developing suitable driver warning systems. However, obtaining reliable and detailed crash dataand pre-crash information are challenging and sometime not feasible. There are various microscopic and macroscopic traffic parameters that can provide critical insights about the safety performance of roadway infrastructureand also identify the pre-crash state of vehicles. These parameters can effectively be used assurrogate performancemeasures for safety evaluation and prediction. This course is about using such surrogate safety measures forroadway infrastructure planning, design and traffic operations. It will discuss about appropriatesite selection criteria,project specific data collectionpracticesusing roadside video camera setup, drone based vide camera andradar gun, effective data extraction and processing techniques and data analyses procedures for the surrogate safety performance measures. The course will also discuss the interpretation of the results in context of roadway infrastructure planning, design and traffic operations.
