ABSTRACT
The management and control of traffic system using roadside controllers and intelligent vehicles is innovative technique for the design of highway system. The Intelligent Transportation Highway System is the design concept introduced to enhance safety, efficiency and many other vehicular as well as user characteristics of highways. This concept has introduced for the improved architectural layout of highway design and also helped in reducing the environmental effects of the vehicles running on the highways. Apart from project aspects, this study is necessary from global business point of view also. Today, in this globalized business world, any company has to compete with competitors from throughout the globe. In such a situation, optimum usage of resources, according to one pre planned schedule, for the deliverance of an estimated output is an absolute necessity. This could only be done when a system of estimating the resource productivity subject to the project constrains is in place. The main aim of this project is studying resources required for highway construction and increases Resource Productivity in different condition. A detailed study and analysis of the resources' productivity in highway projects is absolutely essential for the prediction of production rate of any team group and as a whole of a project team. Identification of the factors affecting the productivity of each of the resources along with formation of graphs, formulas and charts to estimate production is also essential for the easy going of the job of planning.

I. INTRODUCTION
To execute such variable works in different phases of project, any big construction company has to keep artillery of various plants and equipment‘s supported by an army of skilled and semiskilled manpower. In highway projects, the total project corridor is usually divided into sections and further to sub-sections for the ease of working and resource allocation. The resources are generally allocated to the working teams groups on the basis of their productivity level and total volume of work allotted to the respective teams. Any disparity in the expected level of output compared to actual output level could lead to untimely completion and cost overrun and actually indicate improper prediction of the productivity level leading to wrong estimation of production rate. For the above reasons, it is quite necessary to study the productivity of the different resources in detail for highway sector. The same equipment‘s and sometimes evens the same manpower being used in different activities, a detailed study, categorization and analyses of productivity of resources for different activities are very necessary. Identification of the factors affecting the productivity of each of the resources along with formation of graphs, formulas and charts to estimate production is also essential for the easy going of the job of planning. The objective of the project was to minimize time and cost by leveling the resources and this was done by taking three cases to compare the optimized results. In Case 1 the entire project was considered to be done in the same order of WBS without breaking it into parts and the cost incurred by the utilization of resources is calculated. In case into three parts and the cost incurred by the utilization of resources is calculated. Planning and scheduling is an integral part required for efficient execution of construction activities. Project management software‘s are trending for helping the manager‘s for better handling of time and other resources. Microsoft Project is one such software aiding in increasing the overall project efficiency. In Road Construction, Equipment‘s play a major role as they manage more than 50 % of the work, so their Costs and Productivity play a major role in making the Project profitable to the company. In this work a Case Study of two Road or Pavement Construction sites is carried out. Efforts are taken to improve the Productivity of Equipment‘s by using Project Management Techniques which in turn helps to cut down the Costs incurred. Resource Planning Construction Equipment: Production task needing equipment include excavating, handling, transporting, filling, compacting, grading, hoisting, concreting, pre-casting, plastering, finishing, trenching, and laying of pipes and cables. The supporting equipment at project site consists of generators, transmission lines, pumping sets, other utility services equipment. Construction equipment is indispensable in execution of modern high-cost, time bound massive construction projects. It produces output with an accelerated speed in a limited time. It saves manpower, which is becoming ever more costly and demanding. It improves productivity, quality and safety and also adds a sense of urgency. Acquisition of equipment mass involves initial heavy investment but, on the whole, its ads to profitability by reducing the overall costs, provided it is properly planned, economically procured and effectively managed. Productivity means the ability to produce. The term 'productivity', as commonly understood, implies the ratio of output to input. The input and output can be measured in physical quantities, monetary terms or a combination of both. Many link productivity to mean of workers' output capability; they express productivity as work quantity produced per man-hours of input. Productivity is also defined as monitory value of output per man-hour of input. Some consider productivity as performance output in rupees for every rupees of input. In the narrower sense of controlling project resources, the productivity concept is used to measure the performance of resources.

Figure1.1: Flowchart of Methodology
During the site visits, relevant data regarding the expenses and production rates of different resources used in the sites was collected. After collecting the data, different factors affecting the production rate of those resources was identified and their effects on the production were found out Collected data were put under a detailed comparative study and analysis of the data collected from various geographically located sites will be used to find out the interrelation among the factors. The factors that are expected to be influencing the equipment production rate are geographical factors like height of construction, topography etc, environmental conditions, materials of construction, nature of activity, operator's efficiency etc. On the other hand, the human resource productivity was likely to be affected by working and living conditions, social-economic factors etc. After the analyses, efforts were put to find the trend of the factors on the productivity and also build the charts and graphs representing the trends. Finally, a trend of estimating the productivity of a resource in a given particular condition was developed the graphs, charts etc. Configuration of Traffic Control System A traffic control system largely consists of (i) information collection infrastructure, (ii) information-processing infrastructure, (iii) information provision infrastructure, (iv) communications infrastructure, and (v) monitoring infrastructure. In addition to the above infrastructures, disaster prevention infrastructure may be included if there are structures that need to be monitored, such as tunnels.
Information Collection Systems
The information collection infrastructure collects information on traffic conditions, weather conditions, etc. As for the method of collecting information on traffic conditions, a vehicle detector is employed in many cases for collecting information on traffic volume, speed, and occupancy levels. The following infrastructure have come to be used more often in recent years: probe cars capable of continuously collecting information on traffic conditions, imaging sensors capable of detecting unexpected incidents and license plate readers capable of directly measuring required travel times,. As a side note, the method for collecting information on required travel times by utilizing EFC‘s information on time when a vehicle passes through a tollgate has been put to practical use in Japan. In addition, it is recommended to install weather sensors such as rain gauges to cope with the spate of recent ―guerrilla rainstorms‖ (localized torrential rains), and flood meters in locations that tends to be submerged by floods, such as underpasses. It is possible to promptly obtain information on disabled vehicles or falling objects on roads by installing emergency telephones and CCTV monitors at regular intervals along roads. Furthermore, in order to optimally control the entire road network, it is recommended to collect information on adjacent expressways and ordinary roads that run parallel to expressways, from other road managers.
4.1.2 Information-processing Systems
The information-processing infrastructure processes a vast amount of information provided by the information collection infrastructure, evaluates the levels of traffic congestion, prioritizes information that needs to be provided to the information provision infrastructure, and processes the content of information to be provided. In recent years, systems have been developed to provide road users with information on projected traffic conditions by analyzing real-time traffic conditions and past trend data. On the metropolitan expressways in Japan, a road information board displays not only information on traffic congestion (such as traffic-congested zones and length of traffic congestion) but also
4.1.3 Information Provision Systems
The information provision infrastructure provides information processed by the information-processing infrastructure to road users. Road information boards and highway radio applications are commonly used as the information provision infrastructure. A road information board provides more specific information, such as information on areas where there is traffic congestion or traffic is regulated and the length of traffic congestion. If there are wide-area detour routes available to avoid traffic congestion, it is recommended that a graphic road information board be installed to provide road users with information that enables them to visually understand traffic conditions and available alternative routes and decide on optimal routes which suit them. Currently, information for personal computer (PC) compatible or Internet-compatible mobile phones and smartphones is also provided to road users via the Internet. In addition, it is possible to provide more detailed information to road users by installing a large display road information board or an interactive road information kiosk in expressway rest areas, which is a computer terminal that provides road information to road users. Road-to-vehicle communication systems such as IVI or ITS Spot are utilized as a means of providing information to road users while they are driving. This information includes wide-area roads and comparisons on the number of available routes, amongst other information. It is recommended this information be provided to road users to assist in their effective use of road networks.
Communications Systems
The communications infrastructure connects the information collection infrastructure and the information provision infrastructure, both of which are installed roadside, to the information-processing infrastructure, which is installed at a road manager‘s traffic control center or similar. In Japan, such a connection is often made via wire communication (optical fiber or exclusive line). In recent years, optical fibers have been more extensively used because they are superior in terms of communication capacity and scalability. In cases where roads are newly constructed, it is more efficient to install the communications infrastructure concurrently. If it is difficult to newly install a wired communication network for costs and other reasons, it is possible to use an Internet connection as a virtual private network (VPN) connection or use radio communication networks, provided that, as such methods are inferior to an exclusive wired communication line in terms of reliability, it is necessary to fully compare and review all the available methods. variety of information, such as road traffic conditions collected by the information collection infrastructure, the results of information processing conducted by the information-processing infrastructure and the status of information provision. In many cases, the monitoring infrastructure consists of a large monitor display unit and an operation console. In recent years, the method of displaying a simplified route map showing road routes under control and their traffic conditions in a monitor display unit in an easy-to-understand manner has become a favoured method. Architecture can be defined as a basic system organisation consisting of crucial components, their relations and connections to environment, as well as principles for system design and development during the whole lifecycle. In order to enable development and upgrades, complex systems have to include additional characteristics such as: Compatibility, Expandability, Interoperability, Integrability, Standard ability. Lack of architecture can result in difficulties because of incompatible components, higher cost for updates and complications in introducing or Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences Intelligent Transport Systems adjusting new technologies. ITS architecture provides a general framework for planning, designing and implementing integrated system in a given period and geographical area. An ITS Architecture is important for a number of reasons: • It ensures an open market for services and equipment, because there are ―standard‖ interfaces between components; • An open market permits economies of scale in production and distribution, thus reducing the price of products and services; • It ensures consistency of information delivered to end-users; o it encourages investment in ITS since compatibility is ensured; • it ensures inter-operability between components, even when they are produced
• It permits an appropriate level of technology independence and allows new technologies to be incorporated easily; • It provides the basis for a common understanding of the purpose and functions of the ITS, thus avoiding conflicting assumptions. Based on the content and mandatory use, three main type of ITS Architecture are defined: • Framework ITS Architecture; • Mandated ITS Architecture; • Service ITS Architecture, Framework Architecture, most suitable for national level architecture, focuses on user needs and functional viewpoint. This type of architecture can be also considered as a starting point for the development of other two types of architecture. Mandated Architecture consists of physical, logical and communication viewpoints but also includes additional outputs. Content of Mandated Architecture is strictly defined and, as a consequence, choices for deployment options are limited. Service Architecture is similar to Mandated Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences Intelligent Transport Systems. Architecture, but includes services. Additionally, there are also physical and logical architecture. While the logical architecture consists of processes and interconnecting data flows, physical architecture includes physical components (parts of equipment) and related data flows. ITS architecture can live to its potentials only when logical architecture is based on user needs, vision and operational concept, and when physical architecture is developed based on the logical architecture. Defining the physical architecture is strongly connected with standardization and implementation strategy. Functional Area and services in the field of ITS Initial standardization of ITS services, focused on road transport, was set up by ISO (International Standardization Organization). First reference model for ITS included functional areas and the reference models for ITS architecture were improved, describing ITS Fundamental Services, replaced standards presented in Technical Report on Transport Information and Control Systems. Intention of new taxonomy is to relate similar and complementary ITS services. The taxonomy includes 11 functional areas: ♦ Vehicles ♦ Freight Transport ♦ Public Transport ♦ Emergency ♦ Transport Related Electronic Payment ♦ Road Transport Related Personal Safety ♦ Weather and Environmental Monitoring ♦ Disaster Response Management and Coordination ♦ National Security

They were established on the basis of defined national strategic objectives and European and national priority areas. At the time of their defining period, the experience of the past development of ITS in Croatia, and some of the European experience were used. The following measures have been proposed within the priority areas:

After collecting the data, different factors affecting the production rate of those resources was identified and their effects on the production were found out Collected data were put under a detailed comparative study and analysis of the data collected from various geographically located sites will be used to find out the interrelation among the factors. The factors that are expected to be influencing the equipment production rate are geographical factors like height of construction, topography etc, environmental conditions, materials of construction, nature of activity, operator's efficiency etc. On the other hand, the human resource productivity was likely to be affected by working and living conditions, social-economic factors etc. After the analyses,
the productivity of a resource in a given particular condition was developed the graphs, charts etc. The best dispute management skill is the ability to stay out of dispute not as an avoidance technique but rather, as specific prevention strategy. Three key areas to manage are:
Clear specifications
Writing a specification that will be interpreted the same way by different people is a skill that takes years to acquire. In a dispute, it does not matter what was meant, only what is in the contract. An independent specification review should find and correct material ambiguities. Unfortunately, most organizations do not conduct such reviews and find out later, after the contract has been put into operation, that the specification should have been much, much clearer.
Clear communication protocols
Internal policies and procedures regarding communication, approvals, signoffs and the like, have no bearing in a dispute unless incorporated into the contract and made an obligation of the parties. Consider the number of people who might have a discussion, some form of correspondence, or even just contact with anyone in the other party – there will be quite a few people acting with presumed authority and inadvertently committing your organization. Have clear internal processes, authorities, forms and the like, incorporate them into the contract and make them binding on both parties. complexity, to have up to 300 unresolved issues at any given time; they can quickly grow into disputes if the environment is right. Before declaring something a dispute, consider managing it as an issue, at least to begin with. Defining a problem an ‗issue‘ rather than a ‗dispute‘ has a big impact. You can apply normal project management techniques to issue management. Have a mechanism for anyone to raise an issue track and assign all issues, and have regular issue resolution meetings.

DATA COLLECTION & EXPERIMENTATION
The primary objectives of this field experiment were to ► Determine whether the system is feasible for measuring construction productivity and ► Identify the advantages and limitations of this system by conducting a case study. To accomplish the objective, productivity data were collected simultaneously by using the different methods and the WRITE system. The stopwatch method is a classic productivity measurement method develops. The method uses a stopwatch to record the time spent on each human movement to complete an operation and categorizes each movement as direct work, supportive work, or nonworking. The productivity is computed on the basis of the percentages of direct work, supportive work, and nonworking within certain duration. Results from the stopwatch method and the WRITE system were compared by using statistical methods to determine whether there was a significant difference. Figure shows a data collection form for this project and a sample data set that was used for statistical analysis. The field experiment was conducted at three asphalt paving projects and one bridge reconstruction project. Hot-mix asphalt overlay project and two hot-in-place recycling projects were selected as equipment-intensive projects, and the bridge reconstruction project was deemed to be a labour-intensive project. Resource productivity as well as labour and capital productivity is indicators that reflect both the development of the economy and the environment. However, the interrelationships between socio-economic and environmental processes are highly complex and available information, judgment of experts and public awareness are often controversial. Therefore, the criterion of policy relevance from this study refers to a reduction of this complexity rather than to a full understanding. In other words, it refers to the capacity of reducing this complexity and providing relevant and useful information for decision making and public discourse. This scoping study provides evidence that data availability and quality is essential for assessing the impacts of resource productivity on employment. In recent years, decision makers asked for establishing RMC as the lead indicator for the EU resource efficiency strategy. For this purpose it is important to supplement figures on a country level34. Recently, Eurostat has published the 'Country RME tool' for compiling RME-related estimates at the country level. Since RMC/RME-based estimates at the country level are challenging, calculating RME of product flows at sectoral levels for all EU Member States would be rather difficult. However, examining resource productivity at the sectoral level is of great importance as each sector shows different material use patterns. A feasible solution might be to focus on some sectors for representative countries. Still, constructing a time series might turn out to be resource and time consuming. Another option includes case studies on individual country experiences which could prove to be useful for other Member States. For example, the construction sector is one of the most important sectors in the European Union. It generates about 10% of GDP and positively influences the growth of employment in other related economic activities. Furthermore, the Netherlands could be an interesting country to study for its high resource productivity in the agricultural and the construction sector. An already well-established and regularly updated project is the Exiobase36 - a global, detailed Multi-regional Environmentally Extended Supply and Use / Input Output (MR EE SUT/IOT) database. Version 3 will comprise 200 sectors in 44 countries and 5
Another approach is to use just direct extraction all over the world data in primarily monetary models and estimate the impact of policies on the extraction in relation to growth and employment effects. Even if this does not explicitly deliver figures for productivity, it reveals the relative effects on labour, capital and resources on regional and global levels, which can be used to further analyze the productivities in question. In addition, there is a lack of adequately measuring the quality of labour inputs, accounting for skills, gender, education and employment status of the workers. Eurostat, in collaboration with the JRC-IPTS, is currently running a project that aims at improving labour productivity indices by disseminating time series of productivity indicators for Member States. The first dataset will be available in spring for the years to. Data on capital productivity should follow later. Another way forward would be the development of a more comprehensive econometric analysis that would allow a better understanding of the relationship between potential drivers such as R&D and energy demand. As the examined variables show a significant relationship with resource productivity, going on a sector-by-sector analysis would provide insights as for example to which sectors are receiving more R&D and in which countries R&D is having the most impact on productivity. Accommodating or systematically examining more potential drivers is an integral aspect of a future econometric analysis. The empirical part of our analysis – as of many other studies - was based on describing correlations rather than the causalities. This is due to the fact that the identification of causal relationships is a difficult task in terms of methodology and goes beyond the scope of this study. Finding causalities was left to the literature review, where we described the results of some comprehensive modelling efforts that show the interlink ages between resource productivity improvements and social, environmental and economic indicators. In conclusion, the empirical part of this scoping study was not only an exercise to provide a preliminary statistical and empirical analysis of resource, labour and capital productivity, but also to open up possibilities for further investigation, once data will be available. Some topics that could possibly be explored through future analyses comprise: • Investigation of sectors which would be most affected by job losses due to resource efficiency policies or, in general, the • Analysis of whom within the labour force would be most susceptible to shifts in employment (which skill level, age group). • Studying of sectors that show high levels of capital investment and whether those sectors are the most/least resource/labour productive. A question to look at is whether labour is being replaced by capital in these most/least resource productive sectors. • Understanding of the effects of R&D on resource productivity on a sector level, comparing between Member States and establishing reasons for differences, if there are some
DATA ANALYSIS & EXPERIMENTATION
The questionnaire were distributed over large construction as well as small construction projects including the group of workers including site engineers, Painter, steel binder, Plasterer, Meson Brickwork, Carpenter, Gardener for Landscaping and many more. One of the most important stages was to collect accurate data, the total number of questionnaires sent was and the number of responses received and validated. This figure is greater than the required sample size, so the data obtained satisfies the quality requirements. The results of the survey were synthesized by the author and evaluated the impact, which are divided into seven groups of factors affecting the labour productivity of construction workers on sites in as follows.
Ranking of factors on workers themselves
The lower the labour intensity, the lower the labour productivity, the physiological psychological problems of people will affect the efficiency of work thus affecting the labour productivity. The higher the age, the more accumulated experience, but the physical strength can be reduced, thus greatly affecting labour productivity.
Ranking of factors that motivate employees
Professional training, skills upgrading and innovations in labour are factors that have high impact on labour productivity. These factors directly influence the motivation of employees, bring satisfaction and sense of responsibility of construction workers to the work
Ranking of factors of working tools and object
High-impact factor is the complexity of the work with RII = 3.78 and factor of material transport methods with RII = 3.22. These factors affect the performance of the work that will also affect labour productivity as reported. In order to ensure the achievement and growth of labour productivity, organizations need to utilize machines, equipment and tools which must be suitable with products and technologies; ensure routine readiness and operation throughout the working shift; ensure raw materials, semi-finished products putting into production must have evident origin and qualification.
Ranking of natural environmental factors
Weather factor is a factor that has a high impact on labour productivity and is ranked first with RII of 3.82. Most construction works are built in natural spaces, where are affected directly by the weather. The weather not supporting or sometimes becoming severe has a not small impact on labour productivity. The role of natural conditions for labour productivity is objective and unavoidable. Therefore, to ensure the achievement and increase productivity, construction firms need to anticipate the difficulties arising due to natural environment conditions to mitigate risks in the production process. The second most influential factor is the factor of regulations on construction with RII = 3.42. Regulations and national policies that influence the goals and thus affecting productivity.
Experimental Determination of material properties
Various tests will be carried out on the materials used in Waste tyre rubber bitumen. The following tests will be carried out on materials: 1) Bitumen with Partial Replacement with Waste Plastic ► Standard Penetration Test [IS: 73 (1950-62-92)] ► Softening Point Test [IS: 73 (1950-62-92)] ► Ductility Test [IS: 73 (1950-62-92)] ► Stripping Value Test [IS: 73 (1950-62-92)] ► Marshall Stability Test [IS: 73 (1950-62-92)] (For bituminous mix containing both Waste plastic and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) Fine Aggregate and coarse Aggregate with Partial Replacement of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement ► Flakiness Index [IS 2386] ► Elongation Index [IS 2386] ► Impact Value [IS 2386] ► Sieve size analysis [IS 2386] ► Specific Gravity [IS 2386] ► Water Absorption Test (%) [IS 2386] These all testing will be done for all the design mix to determine the mechanical properties and durability of the specimens and Results will be find out for all the tests of all design mix and it will be compare. The respondents were asked to indicate the positions they held in the respective companies and the duration for which the company is in operation. They were provided with options to choose from. About 26.7% of the respondents who participated in the study are from Top management background, 40% were from middle management, while 33.3% were serving as a lower management as shown in the Fig. These respondents are well conversant with effect of traffic management.

CONCLUSION
• The purpose of our investigation was to see if the GPS traffic data set obtained through the Map My Run web service is sufficient for inferring temporal usage patterns of street segments in relation to traffic flow. • Our findings demonstrate that such an analysis is doable, but only within certain parameters. • When compared to the GPS data set's permanent traffic counting stations, our findings provide a good ground truth for the proposed research. • We were able to stress a temporal analysis that allowed us to examine the internal city traffic and the incidence of congestion in detail. • We found clusters with distinct consumption trends over time. The visual examination of these clusters revealed that shopping and recreational activities, in particular, have a distinct temporal utilization pattern. • Demonstrated that temporal patterns cannot effectively discriminate between consecutive activities the use of access roads, for example, is intimately linked to the use of residential neighborhoods, where individual movements often begin and conclude. • By tweaking our clustering process, we were able to identify groups with comparable temporal traffic distributions, and we interpreted the results using temporal and spatial background knowledge. • As a result, we were able to produce a unique and extensive analysis for the which we were able to clearly identify traffic patterns associated to specific road segments flow • We were able to connect and receive data from a major traffic route service and a digital map supplier.
