Evaluation of in service pavements is very vital for keeping them in good serviceable condition because pavements deteriorate with age and traffic loading. To get a complete idea of the existing condition of any pavement both structural and functional evaluation are necessary. This study aims to investigate the accidental spots, traffic volume, and pavement condition. For this survey, the location of Kharar was chosen i.e. Balongi to Kharar Bus-Stand of 7 km stretch. The road initiates with intersection near Kharar bus stand and passes through many in between intersections near Sunny Enclave, VR Punjab Mall which are prime locations in that area. This road also connects with T junction and connects to NH5 / NH7 via Airport road. The data collected was processed, categorized and analyzed to generate reports for vehicle classification, hourly traffic variation, accidental black spots, pavement condition and origin & destination of trips.
