Research Site Collaboration & Student Support
Empowering undergraduate and postgraduate transport engineering students across Bangladesh by eliminating bureaucratic hurdles—providing official site clearances, field telemetry data, and academic mentorship on active national megaprojects.
How TPFB Assists Student Researchers
Comprehensive support tailored for university students pursuing thesis and capstone projects in transportation engineering and urban planning.
Megaproject Site Clearance
Official liaison and security clearance documentation allowing students to conduct on-site geometric surveys, pavement testing, and structural inspections across major infrastructure projects.
Field Telemetry & Sensor Data
Direct access to automated traffic counters, weigh-in-motion (WIM) logs, junction signal timings, and pavement roughness (IRI) data for empirical modeling.
Laboratory Testing Access
Coordinated access to partner materials testing laboratories including RHD Central Laboratory Mirpur, BUET, RUET, CUET, and KUET testing apparatus.
Thesis Grants & Mentorship
Financial mini-grants to offset laboratory sample testing expenses, paired with co-supervision by practicing transport specialists and paper publication stipends.
Available Megaproject Research Sites
The following major national transport corridors and facilities have active clearance facilitation for accredited research students:
Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit (MRT Line 6 & Line 1)
Passenger ridership dynamics, station dwell time modeling, feeder bus integration & vibrations.
Dhaka Elevated Expressway & BRT Gazipur Corridor
Toll plaza queuing dynamics, speed-flow curves, geometric design transitions & structural bearings.
Bangabandhu Railway Bridge & Padma Rail Link
Track modulus testing, ballast degradation, dual-gauge transition dynamics & bridge health.
Dhaka-Sylhet & Dhaka-Chittagong Highway Corridors
Pavement deflection (FWD), axle load overloading analysis, blackspot geometry & crash modeling.
RHD Central Materials & Soil Testing Laboratory (Mirpur)
Bituminous mix performance, modified binder testing, aggregate crushing, and resilient modulus.
Payra & Matarbari Port Connectivity Corridors
Heavy freight truck axle impacts, port intermodal logistics, and coastal road embankment stability.
