Abstract: Due to unplanned development, traffic congestion in the cities of Bangladesh has become a serious problem. As a result, Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) has become a necessity to control this unplanned growth. In Bangladesh, the concept of TIA has recently been introduced and is yet to be institutionalized. Here implication of TIA faces many challenges which are also common in most of the developing countries. In this paper, the issues and challenges are discussed as well as the possible solutions. The study further discusses the strategies for improving implementation of TIA in Bangladesh.

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of surface runoff with rainfall intensity and different slope on the rate of slope erosion that occurs in silty sand soil. The results of the study with 3 variations rainfall intensity of 50 mm / hour, 100 mm / hour and 120 mm / hour, indicating that the effect of surface runoff on rainfall intensity and slope gradient on soil erosion rate is directly proportional. The amount of erosion that occurs based treatment in the laboratory on surface runoff discharge with successive rainfall intensity I50, I100, and I120 at 10° slope respectively are 26285 ml/hour = 36,608 gram/m2/hour, 63375,5 ml/hour = 53,500 gram/m2/hour and 87239,5 ml/hour = 54,150 gr/m2/hour. At the slope of 20°, for surface runoff with successive rainfall intensity I50, I100, and I120 amount of erosion respectively are 34292,5 ml/hour = 4,100 gram/m2/hour, 63375,5 ml/hour = 13,550 gram/m2/hour and 88170 ml/hour = 94,150 gram/m2/hour. Then for the slope of 30°, due to the increment
