Task 2.
2:
Based on the information and data gathered in task 1, Design the required and
recommended Busway.Please note that you are required to provide the complete cross-
sectional characteristics of the road to be laid.
Project 1:
The existing two-lane flexible pavement on Bligh Street with the provision of parking
lanes adjacent to roads in both directions in the suburb Rosny Park in Hobart is to be
redesigned for 0.5 KM strip Bus lane in each direction separated by median is required.
The AADT in each direction is 5,000 vehicles per day of the which 5% are heavy
vehicles (HVs).
The traffic growth rate is 3% per year.
The design period is 15 years.
The desired speed for this part is 40 km/hr.
Six CBR samples of in situ subgrade were taken along the existing median and laboratory
testing undertaken on each sample have 4 day soaked CBR values of 6%, 6%, 8%, 10%,9%,
7% equally spaced. Materials locally available are:
- Rock/Clay select fill with an Assigned CBR strength of 10%
- Natural gravel lower sub-base with an Assigned CBR of 25%
- Crushed rock base (CBR>100%)
NOTE: The thickness of any unbound granular pavement layer is to be a minimum of 100mm and a maximum
of 150mm rounded up to the nearest 5mm. The thickness of select fill is to be a minimum of 150mm and a
maximum of 300mm rounded up to the nearest 10mm.
1) Determine Subgrade CBR mean value.
2) NDT.
3) DESA ID 0.576.
4) ESA.
5) THICKNESS OF MATERIALS.
6) Pavement Marking / Provisions for Bus Priority
In the road: Bus Lane Only
Colour of Marking: Red / Yellow
Road side signage : at the start, at the end and in the middle at 200m interval
ITS specified for Bus with B sign / Traffic Signal Priority with B Light
Project 2:
The existing five lane flexible pavement on Southern outlet with provision of
parking lane adjacent to roads in both directions in the suburb in Hobart is to be
redesigned for 0.5 KM strip Bus lane in each direction separated by median is
required. The AADT in each direction is 5200 vehicles per day of which 5% are
heavy vehicles (HVs). Traffic Growth Rate is 3% per year and the design period is
20 years. The desired speed for this part is 50 km/hr
Six CBR samples of in situ subgrade were taken along the existing median and
laboratory testing undertaken on each sample have 4 days soaked CBR values of
7%,6%,8%,9%,9%,10% equally spaced.
Materials locally available are:
Rock/clay select fill with an assigned CBR strength of 15%;

SAME AS ABOVE FOR PROJECT 2 WHICH YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT.
