INTRODUCTION

Gujarat Engineering Research Institute (GERI) is one of the leading

research institutes of the country. It has the distinction of being adjudged as one of

the best research stations of the country as evidenced by honors bestowed upon it

by CBIP in the year 1989. GERI is working under Narmada Water Resources,

Water Supply & Kalpasar Department. The Institute aims at providing research

and development inputs to the activities of the Gujarat State in the field of water

resources, irrigation and roads & buildings. To this end it has its activities centered

on construction materials, soil, rocks, grouting materials etc. The activities are for

investigations, testing, consultancy, training, and quality control in addition to R & D

as stated above. It extends facilities to Government of Gujarat/ inter-state

Government, public and private sector bodies in the above different activities.

Making an humble beginning as sub division in 1950, GERI developed into a

research division in 1957. By 1960 when the Gujarat State was formed, it attained

the status of state research institute with 3 divisions as materials, soil-mechanics

and highway engineering.

Then onwards GERI progressively expanded its activities in the subsequent

decades and has now blossomed into 13 divisions.

A Director who is of the rank of a Chief Engineer heads the Institute. There

are three posts of Joint Director/Superintending Engineer manned by the officers

who are of the rank of Superintending Engineer, Joint Director (Roads) looks after

the works of Roads and buildings wing. Joint Director (Irrigation) looks after the

works of Irrigation wing, & the work of inspections of safety of all completed dams

of the state which is done by Executive Engineer (civil) & Executive Engineer

(Mech.) under Dam Safety Organisation, Superintending Engineer; Soil, Drainage

and Reclamation Circle looks after the works of Soil Survey wing.

Research work is organized in various divisions by the respective Research

Officers who are of the rank of Executive Engineer including Geologist (Senior-

Class-I officer) of Engineering Geology Division. Suitable technical and scientific

staff assist them. In addition to main laboratories at Vadodara, the institute has

regional research/testing divisions at Surat, Rajkot and Gandhinagar.

Under each regional division, set up of district laboratories are also there.

2.7 ROAD RESEARCH DIVISION 1 & 4. (A) Abstract of state sponsored Research Scheme under progress.

(1) Traffic census on Vadodara – Savli Road ( Dumad Chowkadi) District Vadodara

Objective: The main objectives of this study are:

(A) To know the present traffic pattern

(B) To understand the efficiency of existing road.

(C) To determine growth rate of traffic flow, based on traffic data available over

the past year (From R&B Dept.)

(D) To determine the volume of traffic that enters into city and exit from city.

(E) To determine the solution of stagnation of traffic flow.

14

Methodology :

Data collection: The traffic survey was conducted at count post at Dumad junction. Traffic Census for this road was conducted by "Manual method". The survey was conducted for seven days twice in a year from 4/2/2013 to 10/2/2013, 25/11/2013 to 1/12/2013 and 19/11/2014 to 25/11/2014 round the clock. For the purpose of counts a day was divided in three shifts of 8 hours each and separate enumerators were posted for each direction of travel. The manual recording of hourly flows was recorded in plate I (Field Data Sheet) as described in IRC :9-1972. Analysis of Data: Traffic data of Plate I was compiled in Plate II (Daily Traffic Summary) as described in IRC :9-1972. The highest peak hour traffic in the day was highlighted in the summary sheet. The information collected in daily summary sheet was transferred to the weekly traffic summary form as shown in Plate III as described in IRC :9-1972. The average daily traffic for the week was determined. Moreover, following analysis was carried out. 1. Heavy Commercial Vehicle per day (HCV) i.e. bus and truck 2. Light Commercial Vehicle per day (LCV) i.e. Car, jeep, tempo, rickshaw,

motorcycle etc. 3. Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) i.e. cycle, animal drawn cart 4. Passenger Car Unit per day (PCU) 5. Commercial Vehicle per day (CVD) 6. Peak Hour traffic volume in PCUs.

Recommendations: Interchange is required at this junction to handle the volume of traffic resulting in serious congestion and frequent choking of the intersection The work of Interchange – Bridge has been started by NHAI Authority. Position: Analysis is completed. Report writing under progress.

(2) Road Safety Audit Study on Vadodara-Savli road. (S.H.-158) Km. 9/6 to

32/0

Scope & Objectives: The main objective is to identify the black spots on study stretch and to suggest the remedial measures and ensure safety. The short term low cost remedial measures to minimize the number of accidents will be prepared for smooth movement of traffic. Methodology: Data collection: The traffic accident data for seven years i.e. from 2008 to 2014 was collected from Police Stations under jurisdiction of Vadodara Taluka & Savli Taluka. As recommended by IRC, road accident was collected in Road Accident form A-1 in order to have correct information for the purpose of analysis. The data so collected was compiled according to form 4. Data Analysis: The data will be analysed as per primary causes, types of collision, km. wise accidents to find out Accident Prone Locations (APL) etc.

Study of APL: The accident prone locations shall be studied & evaluated and remedial measures for their improvement will be suggested. Position: Data collection was completed. Analysis under progress.

2.10 DAM SAFETY ORGANISATION The Dam safety Organization, GERI deals with the inspection of all 802 dams, which include 14 Major, 193 Medium dams and 595 large dams under Panchayat & in state for determining the status of safety in respect of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical aspects and suggesting remedial measures to improve them, assessing hazard potential and determining priority for repairs. As per CWC criteria if height of the dam is more than 15 m (From deepest foundation RL to crest RL) it will be considered as large and shall be inspected by DSO. If the height of a dam is between 10 to 15 m and if any of the criteria (i) length500m or more, (ii) capacity more than 1Mm3 (iii) Spillway discharge more than 2000 cumecs are satisfied, it will also be considered as a large dam.
