摘要：	Most of the railway network in India is rural in nature, and their interface with roads remains high.The potential for accidents at level crossings is made higher as the railways control only half of the problems at the interface of roads and railways. Meanwhile the other half of the problems at the road rail interface are not really controlled by one entity, as even though traffic rules and road design standards supposedly exist, the movements of road users are not organized and monitored by one specific entity as rigidly as rail movements. As part of the efforts to eliminate some feasible level crossings with low Train Vehicle Units (TVU) by duly providing limited use Road Over Bridge (ROB) for Light Vehicles, this paper brings a forth a rational and scientific approach to prepare a preliminary design for such an ROB with comparatively lesser financial requirements. In this context, the preliminary design of the ROB at Nettoor in Kerala state was taken as a case study. Preliminary Studies were conducted on the traffic, demography, geographic location and land use of the area and the travel demand was estimated. Two alternative options of RCC bridge (Girder and Slab type) and Steel bridge (Plate girder bridge) are studied based on the site specific circumstances. Preliminary design drawings were prepared for both.The rough cost was estimated for both the alternatives based on the preliminary design.
