Effects of non-motorized vehicles on urban Indian roads
Abstract- The aim of the study is to improve the roads conditions in Nagpur City. For study purpose, four areas of Nagpur city are selected where the flow of Non-Motorized Vehicles (NMV) is high. The survey was taken on Non-motorized user perception about safety, visibility, crossing, comfort, convenience. The survey was done by asking questions to non-motorized users and their view was collected as data, and analysis was done in MS Excel. Further by using the Inverse Variance Method, the value of the Bicycle Compatibility Index (BCI) is found. With the help of BCI, each road Level of Service (LOS) is known. Further, the Improvements measures with suggestions are discussed in this paper for proper planning and designing of roads for Non-Motorized Transport (NMT).

Driver behaviour and traffic issues
The main investigation of this study is: to identify driver mistakes they make and driving behavior which depends on a questionnaire, which may cause traffic fatalities and highlight their effect on traffic safety. Also, to develop traffic accidents regression prediction models. The propose is to reduce the frequency and severity of traffic accidents. All the analysis depends on the questionnaire by using SPSS software to predict accident rates and compare the results with the model reports developed in Chichbhavan to Buttibori. The data for this study was collected from a survey questionnaire which was distributed to a sample of drivers in Chichbhavan to Buttibori. The data from the survey questionnaire were analyzed and used in forming the regression models. It was found that the driver’s behavior is considered aggressive, in the first part of the study is to identify the behavior of driver and second part is to frequency and percentage of the coefficient of determination. In conclusion, aggressive behavior increases the chance of exposure to accidents.

A review- Development of fragility curves for an RC frames
Structural elements square measure typically subjected to dynamic loadings in their operating life. Very often these components may have to perform in a severe dynamic environment wherein the maximum damage results from the resonant vibration. Susceptibility to fracture of materials because of vibration is set from stress and frequency. The maximum amplitude of the vibration should be within the restricted for the protection of the structure. Hence vibration analysis has become very important in designing a structure to know in advance its response and to take necessary steps to control the structural vibrations and its amplitudes. The non-linear or large amplitude flexural vibration of plates has received considerable attention in recent years because of the great importance and interest attached to the structures of low flexural rigidity. These easily deformable structures vibrate at large amplitudes. The solution obtained supported the lineage models give no over a primary approximation to the particular solutions. The increasing demand for more realistic models to predict the responses of elastic bodies combined with the availability of super computational facilities has enabled researchers to abandon the linear theories in favor of non-linear methods of solutions. In the present investigation, large amplitude vibration of several rectangular and skew plates has been studied using an iso-parametric quadratic plate bending element for the finite element method. The formulations have incorporated the shear deformation of the plates. Plates with various boundary conditions have been considered in the study. The effect of variations in the Poisson’s ratio, thickness parameter & plate aspect ratio on the non-linear frequency ratio has also been included in the research.

The impact of taxi zoning on transportation system in Nagpur city
A taxi zoning system was for the first time introduced by the Derg region about 20 years ago. The Nagpur taxi transport service, which is believed to have begun from 2012 to 2016 with small cars has gone through various stages and systems before it reached the current level. The authorities of transport confirmed many times in the past that, the existing public transport system in Nagpur is critically inadequate to provide services for the existing travel demand. The overall performance of mass transport was constrained by many problems such as low transport service accessibility and standard, lack of taxi station, parking spaces and poor traffic management and control have remained the most critical issues to day. The need for adequate transport services has been kept on growing. This study investigates the reason which assesses the need to zone the taxi service in Nagpur city and the impact will result from the zoning in service delivery in the city. Structured questionnaire and survey interview have been prepared and targeted to three categories, control staff which includes a transport agency, traffic police, taxi association. The second category includes taxi drivers, terminal attendants, and third category include service users or passengers that use a taxi as the main mode in the southwest zone. The descriptive and exploratory research methods, quantitative research methods are employed to study the information gained from the structured questionnaire and interview questions. The collected data were classified, organized, and interpreted by using descriptive statistics including tables, frequency distributions, and percentages to give a digested picture of the data. The analysis of the data showed that taxi zoning transport service in Nagpur city may fail to achieve its purpose as stakeholders do not have any training concerning to system, there is a problem of implementation and it is also noted that 65 percent of mode share for two-wheelers contribute in the city, population is expected to grow annually by 3.8 percent, taxi drivers gain much more extra income when they cut trips, especially during rush hours, about 66.6 percent of respondents replied that they could not find taxi easily and most of the respondents say that inside facilities of taxi are not comfortable for customers. This study will help the taxi service industry to develop and design their future market strategy.

A new access control for multi-authority cloud storage
Storing data using cloud storage is a new trend with tons of features like availability, large network access, on-demand self-service etc. To access the data there is multiple access control scheme, but selecting the secure access control scheme is a major concern in cloud storage. In this paper, we presented a PMDAC-ABSC, an access control scheme for data which is based on ciphertext policy ABSC which is an analytical combination of attribute-based encryption and attribute-based signature. The proposed system can provide anonymous authentication, confidentiality, unforgeability, public verifiability, a fined-grained control measure and attribute privacy protection in a multi-authority cloud storage system.

Analysis of traffic characteristics of intercity highway
Majority of Indian National Highways and State Highways are two-lane roads. Due to heterogeneous traffic and increase in the number of vehicles every year, the speed, capacity and Percentile speed of these roads is very less. Nowadays these two-lane roads are upgraded into multilane highways. In this project an attempt is made to study the changes in traffic characteristics of road after its up gradation. Four traffic characteristics namely Spot Speed, Volume, Percentile Speed and Capacity are studied in this project. Data was collected from National Highway No. 361 which was two-lane road and is now up graded into four-lane road. The data of two-lane road and four-lane road was compared and analysed. Spot Speed is used to derive the distribution of traffic stream at a particular location. Flow or volume denotes the number of vehicles travelling on the road with respect to time. 15th, 50th, 85th percentile speed was calculated to study the traffic behaviour on road. Capacity was calculated by using Greenshield’s model.
