Trip purpose and Temporal distribution Trip Purpose Range (%) Average (%) Work trip 36 - 47 43 Educational 26 - 43 32 Shopping 13 - 26 15 Perspective Plan for Barddhaman Planning Area – Vision 2025 Department of Architecture and Regional Planning , IIT, Kharagpur
Zone wise Trip distribution Travel Zone Inter Zonal (%) Intra Zonal (%) Stratum - 1 58. 4 41. 6 Stratum - 2 62. 3 37. 7 Stratum - 3 59. 3 40. 7 Stratum - 4 64. 3 35. 7 Stratum - 5 78. 5 21. 5 Demands more inter-zonal accessibility (mostly by industrial workforce) Perspective Plan for Barddhaman Planning Area – Vision 2025 Department of Architecture and Regional Planning , IIT, Kharagpur
Mode of travel Travel Mode Slow moving Public Transit Private Modal share (%) Walking 32. 5 Bicycle 38 Rickshaw 3. 5 Bus / Minibus 12 Train 7. 5 Two wheeler 5. 5 Car / Taxi 1. 5 Perspective Plan for Barddhaman Planning Area – Vision 2025 Department of Architecture and Regional Planning , IIT, Kharagpur
Age wise Travel behavior Age Group Travel share (%) Mode choice Less than 20 30 Walking / cycling / Transit options 20 – 48 50 Walking / cycling / Two wheeler / Four wheeler / Transit options More than 48 20 Walking / cycling / Four wheeler / Transit options Perspective Plan for Barddhaman Planning Area – Vision 2025 Department of Architecture and Regional Planning , IIT, Kharagpur
Major Issues q Intermixing of slow and fast moving vehicles – Modal share of slow moving vehicles 77% – Congested flow regime and low operating speed – GT Road (Rly Stn to Curzon Gate) & BC Road (Raniganj Bazar area) q Goods movement – On-street parking, loading / unloading q Encroachment of vehicular carriageway – Rickshaw Stand – Shops – Others [Garbage vats, Transformers, Statues etc] q Lack of proper geometry – – Restricted sight distance Carriageway alignment Intersections Road dividers Perspective Plan for Barddhaman Planning Area – Vision 2025 Department of Architecture and Regional Planning , IIT, Kharagpur
Major Issues q Vehicular – Pedestrian conflict – – Inadequate pedestrian pathways Improper provision at intersections Public transit in/outlets on busy urban arterials Ribbon development of shopping activities q Rail – Road conflict – ROB near Rly Station • Capacity restrained • Dilapidated condition – Kalna road crossing q Traffic management – Circulation management • Directional restriction / Temporal prohibition / Turning restriction – Signaling • Visibility / Signage Perspective Plan for Barddhaman Planning Area – Vision 2025 Department of Architecture and Regional Planning , IIT, Kharagpur
Future Approach q Supply side management – Horizontal expansion • Augmenting the existing road links • Creating new roads • Creating at-grade parking facilities – Vertical expansion • Grade separated movement • Parking towers – Better geometry • Correcting road alignment • Improving intersection geometry – Better traffic management • Signaling • Guided Traffic circulation (One-way movement / disallowing right turns etc. ) Perspective Plan for Barddhaman Planning Area – Vision 2025 Department of Architecture and Regional Planning , IIT, Kharagpur
Future Approach q Demand side management – Alter spatial structure of travel movement Transit Oriented Development – Alter modal choice of travel behavior • Introduction of Para transit [4 seater and 8 seater Auto Rickshaws] – Settlement limits [maximum route distance less than 10 kms] – Population and Passenger-km demand [ Approximately 25 Lakh P-Km in 2006] – – Greater occupancy rate than cycle rickshaw Higher operating speed Lower fare per Passenger-Km Can negotiate grades better Perspective Plan for Barddhaman Planning Area – Vision 2025 Department of Architecture and Regional Planning , IIT, Kharagpur
Future Approach q Higher frequency than bus / minibus – greater patronage q Greater penetration into catchment area q Better maneuvering in narrow winding streets q Lower accident rates q Low capital for entry q Higher employment q q Licensing issues Fuel and emission Route fixing Location of terminals Perspective Plan for Barddhaman Planning Area – Vision 2025 Department of Architecture and Regional Planning , IIT, Kharagpur
