Preparation of DPR involves following components
1.0 Understanding Scope of Work

2.0 Traffic Surveys
3.0 Engineering Investigations
4.0 Detailed Designs
5.0 Tender and Construction Drawings
6.0 Project Costing
7.0 Economic Analysis
8.0 Formulation of Construction Packages
9.0 Compiling Project Report
Scope of Services
UNDERSTANDING THE TOR
First and foremost thing is to study carefully and understand the Terms of
Reference (ToR) or Scope of Services of the project.
Once the ToR is understood, the conceptualization of the project would be
easy.
Mostly the ToR for a particular type of projects remains same across any
organization.
Duration of the Project, Phases (Feasibility, PPR, DPR) and Reporting requirements
Proposals for improvements, if any, (type of cross section, grade separators, major
Bridges, Bypasses etc.)
Any special types of Surveys and project specific considerations
Requirements for Economic and Financial Analysis,
Issues on Right of Way (RoW) and Land Acquisition
Social and Environmental surveys
SURVEYS AND INVESTIGATIONS
1. Reconnaissance Survey
2. Traffic Surveys
3. Topographic Surveys
4. Engineering Surveys
5. Soil & Material Investigations
6. Social And Environmental Surveys
Traffic Surveys
The initial task of identifying the homogeneous traffic links shall be undertaken on
the identified road sections
homogeneous traffic links will be established through identification of the major
intersections and urban centres.
The fixation of locations will be made for traffic volume surveys, both at mid
sections and intersections
Traffic Volume Surveys

O-D And Commodity Surveys
Turning Movement Surveys
Parking Surveys
Speed And Delay Surveys
Cross Pedestrian And Animal Surveys
Axle Load Surveys
Truck Terminal Surveys
Willingness to pay Surveys
Traffic Volume Count Survey Formats
Traffic Volume Count Survey Formats
TRFFIC FORECASTING
Traffic volume count survey gives ADT
ADT is to be converted to AADT based on seasonal variation factors
seasonal variation factors can be obtained by fuel consumption rates or past trafic
data
AADT thus obtained shall be used as base year traffic
Traffic is to be forecasted for at least next 10 years
Traffic Growth rates can be obtained using
Trend Analysis
Econometric Model
A more rational method will be to establish a relationship between the socio-

economic variables such as Population, Net State Domestic Product (NSDP)
and Per-Capita Income (PCI) on the one hand and the past registration data of
different categories of vehicles on the other to determine the elasticity of
transport demand with respect to different categories of vehicles. According to
IRC: 108 - 1996, an econometric model should be derived
Axle Load Surveys

Traffic loading has a significant impact on pavement performance and design.
damage that vehicles create to a road depends very strongly on the axle loads of the
vehicles.
The exact relationship is influenced by the type of road structure and the way the
road deteriorates but a `fourth power damage law gives a good approximation.
Measurements will be made for two days over a 24-hour period on random sampling basis.
analyse the axle load survey data to bring out the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and Single Axle Load
(SAL) distributions by truck type and axle configuration.

sophisticated highway design software, All the curves having poor geometry shall
be improved to the acceptable design standards
Vertical Profile: The existing longitudinal section of the project road shall be
obtained from modeling the ground data. The finished profile shall depend on the
thickness of the pavement layer determined from pavement design provision for
necessary profile corrective and camber corrective course.
Avoid cutting/scraping of existing pavement at strengthening only sections
Compatibility of design speed to horizontal geometry of the section
Provide adequate vertical curve at the grade change from stopping sight distance criterion.
Cross Section: The proposed cross sections are broadly composed of carriageway,
medians, raised footpath, hard shoulders, earth shoulder and drainage provisions.
While running cross-sections care shall be taken in applying appropriate super
elevation parameters, strengthening & widening, and improvement options based
on rural, built-up etc.
The earthwork in cutting and filling shall be obtained form the software directly at a
specified interval along with Mass haul diagram.
Design of Built-upAreas
This activity shall focus on design of urban areas in the form of parking lane,
service road, sidewalk and roadside drainage underneath the sidewalk etc. All these
details shall be clearly shown in the horizontal plan and also typical cross sections
shall be prepared.
Design of Pavement and Shoulders
Overlay Design
The performance of pavement in terms of functional performance, structural
performance, structural capacity, and safety contribute to the need for an overlay.
Functional performance refers to the ability of the pavement surface to provide a
reasonable riding quality measured in terms of roughness.
Structural performance is the ability to retain the integrity of the pavement by
preventing distress in the form of cracks, ruts, potholes, etc.
Structural capacity is the pavement's ability to accommodate the axle load on the
pavement. Safety aspect refers mainly the skid resistance and hydroplaning
potential.
Design of Service Road and Bypass

This activity shall focus on design of service road and bypass in terms of number of
lanes and pavement composition.
The local traffic component shall be segregated and would determine the number of
lanes to be provided in the service road. Depending on this traffic loading and soil
investigation already carried out, the pavement composition shall be decided.
Design of Embankments
The embankments would be designed after detailed analysis and as per the relevent
standards and latest software available. General design parameters shall follow IRC
guidelines.
Design of Roadside Drainage
Drainage is an important aspect in the design of highway. With poor drainage
conditions the pavement will not sustain till the end of design life.
Design of kutcha drain on both sides near RoW limits in rural sections
Covered pucca drains near urban areas if necessary
Design of chutes in high embankment areas for drainage of surface water
In super elevation sections median drains shall be provided
As a slope protection measure for high embankment section, turfing on slopes or pitching shall be
designed as per the design standards.
Detailed Design of Bridges/Structures

Based on the detailed survey, sub-surface investigation and design standards and
specifications developed bridge/structures shall be designed.
General design parameters and loadings shall follow IRC guidelines, amended
when necessary in consultation with client.
In selecting foundation type, the consultant shall also take into account the time
required for construction of alternatives, and give preference to those which
minimise construction time.
In developing the standard designs and for those designs, which cannot be
standardized, computer programs for design and drawing shall be used extensively.
On the basis of the investigation and design standards, detailed designs for minor
bridges and culverts shall be prepared.
Design of Arboricultural and Landscaping
Appropriate plans shall be developed for planting of trees, horticulture and
floriculture on the unused land of the RoW in order to beautify the project corridor
view and improve the overall aesthetics.
Design of Intersection and Interchange

To avoid skew crossing wherever possible
To provide control radius of minimum 12.5 m for right turning traffic
To provide radius of minimum 9.0m for left turning traffic
To provide maximum possible length for weaving section in case of rotary
To provide 3.0m additional width of carriageway at weaving sections
To provide adequate sight distance for all traffic movements
To provide slip lanes for left turning where the volume is assessed to be high and
also land is available
IRC: SP41-1994 Guidelines of Design of At-grade Intersection in Rural and Urban
