METHODOLOGY OF MAINTENANCE OF UNPAVED ROADS

Indian highways (2001)

A Kumar Praveen Kumar A. V. S. R. Murty

Only 56% of villages in India are connected to all-weather roads so the maintenance of unpaved roads remains important. These are classified as earth roads, soil gravel roads and WBM roads. The best maintenance technique for earth roads is upgrading. Gravel roads are prone to damage under wet conditions and are also best upgraded. WBM roads have a top layer of hard stone aggregate of 7.5-25 cm depth. The planning and financing of maintenance are discussed. Routine maintenance includes the repair of potholes and other damage, grading of shoulders, removal of debris, and weed control. Special maintenance consists of resurfacing and resealing. Restoration is required after floods and storms. Inspection, maintenance criteria and procedures for the repair of all types of road infrastructure are given.

POLICY ISSUES IN RURAL TRANSPORTATION - A DISCUSSION

Indian highways (1992)

U N Pathak B Kanagadurai A. V. S. R. Murty

This paper addresses some of the issues relating to the formulation of an appropriate national rural transport policy for India. Its aim is to provide some ideas for thought and debate, rather than recommend solutions. The relevant issues include: (1) the concept of accessibility; (2) demand versus need in rural transport; (3) the case for access by motor vehicles; (4) the appropriateness of technology borrowed from the developed countries; (5) local transport needs; (6) criteria for investment; and (7) the need for state intervention and financing. Apart from the acute shortage of resources for investment, there are several other reasons why the extensive provision of motor transport in Indian rural areas is not economically justified. Conventional motor transport systems can play only a very limited part in rural areas, and need to be supplemented by low cost vehicles other than cars and lorries. Such vehicles will include both powered and unpowered two- and three-wheeled vehicles. Human and animal powered transport is still widely used. To provide appropriate transport for rural areas in developing countries, the most fundamental change needed is to ensure that transport planning explicitly appraises small farmers' needs and transport mode constraints. Criteria for investment include: (1) saving road users' cost; and (2) increasing agricultural production.
