Urbanization has become a major phenomenon in India were lakhs are migrating every year increasing the traffic congestions. In many places over population has affected the local authorities even to provide basic transport services. Traffic problems in India are already an extensive task and will become much difficult due to urbanization and changing lifestyle of people. This analysis introduces a solution to the problem in transportation in erode city. In this project the electrical obstructions for transportation movement been identified and mapped by which they can be removed or altered in their routes. An integrated approach to electric utility mapping is more than the sum of its parts. Location and mapping teams need to participate in a multi-phased process that includes lobbying and action on their part. They must be involved from start to finish. This project aims at mapping the electric utilities such as electric poles and transformers in major roadways of Erode City [Corporation limits] using GIS. These utilities have been mapped and differentiated based on their impact to the traffic flow operations in the roads. Initially, locating the utilities has been done through GPS (Global Positioning Systems) which will be very useful for finding the accurate latitude and longitude values. And then, mapping of utilities is carried out through GIS (Geographic Information Systems) which give better results in mapping. The software used for mapping is QGIS. The electric utilities which are obstructions to traffic movement are all to be identified and mapped which will be later altered in their alignment or removed.

Abstract. For reducing the cost in bitumen roads and also increasing the efficiency of bituminuous roads, varieties of materials are used for improving the road by using coconut shell charcoal ash as fillers in the flexible pavement. In the literature work, the main descriptive of the work is to compare the results with different percentages of coconut shell charcoal ash in bitumen. The Properties of the coconut shell charcoal possesses are resistance to breaking the materials, absorbing the heat, moisture content of surface, grading, heating and synthetic resin glues which is important for pavement of bitumen roads. Therefore, its stability of Marshall stability test and flow value in Marshall stability and air void ratio are obtained. So that it can be compared with different modified percentage as 4.5%, 5%, 5.5% and 6% in test on Bitumen. From this test we can establish so that it can be useful as a substitute as a coconut shell charcoal ash for improving the strength, quality and durability of bitumnious road. For carrying out these experiments, Marshall stability test is used for obtaining better results for normal mix and modified mix for the bitumen.
