SUMMARY |
Highway design engineers face a lot of problems in the process
of design, as they need to access a large amount of data to
reach their goals. They have to go through a large number of
standards provided by Indian Road Congress. This database
system provides a user friendly interface over this large
amount of data, where user could skip all the complex design
calculations, while obtaining an approximate design of the
road section. User need not even worry about different
parameters stored in tables. He has to enter only basic input
parameters such as rainfall, terrain, type of highway, number
of lanes etc.
This tool still has a lot of scope of further development and
expansion such as graphical presentation of the designed
section and more complex design calculations.
Development Tools:
Database management (back end): My-SQL/SQL Server 7.0
(available in both)
GUI and programming (front end): Visual Basic

SALIENT FEATURES |
|
It could be
used in highway design for the following:
1. Geometric Design
2. Pavement Design
Some of the features of the project are:
-
Conception and Development of an E-R model for the database
application
-
Mapping of E-R model into a Relational model
-
Provision of key constraints and referential integrity
constraints
-
Normalization of relations up to BCNF (Boyce-Codd normal form)
based on functional dependencies
-
Population of relations with real time data
-
Database connectivity using ActiveX Data objects (ADO) in VB
-
Development of a GUI based front end in Visual Basic.
