| Abstract | The objectives of this research were to study and find the methods and techniques which are being employed in Bangladesh for selecting new road projects and how social, political and economic factors are considered for this purpose. These are several road-building agencies in Bangladesh, a description of new road selection procedures by these agencies is presented.
Economic analysis is being used in Bangladesh for final selection of some large projects. The complete economic analysis technique which is being followed in Bangladesh is discussed step by step. The cost estimating technique, traffic forecasting, benefit calculation technique, comparison of costs and benefits, and sensitivity analysis are included in the economic analysis of a new road project, and are discussed in this report. A proposed technique for selection of new road projects was included in this research.
As there are more projects proposed than there are funds available, a priority ranking should be prepared for systematic implementation of proposed projects. The research included a study of the technique of priority ranking employed in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh planning commission has announced its intention to utilize a stage construction technique for future road development; the stage construction technique to be followed in Bangladesh is discussed. |
