Part @ 2 Existing Issues

WE all love to move, travel,

discover… by different

ways and modes…

Is My City’s Pollution Free Can I Travel Freely Safely ? Where are the parks? Where is the public realm?

Where do people gather? How do you go place to place? How do you go to market? How does a child visit a friend? How do we travel for evening leisure?

City Planning Impact our Lives….

What is the true picture???

Is it a walk able street at 440 C? How to catch a bus? From where can I get a Metro?

Where can I rest? Where is the comfort? Can we have a surface level crossing? Where is the SPACE ?

One of the highest road densities in India.

is less compared to other

cities like Hong Kong, Seoul

and Paris (City) which are

more densely populated.

• Road space as percentage of

total land area is 21% in

Delhi.

• Present road length- 33,000

Main Components of Sustainable Transport

• Public Transport with priority

over all other modes on the

road

• Non-motorised transport

• Creating/conserving public

space

• PT Integration

• TDM measures

National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP)

Is this ever possible?

• Integrating land use and transport planning

• Equitable allocation of road space

• Priority to the use of public transport

• Quality and pricing of Public Transport

• Technologies for Public Transport

• Integrated public transport systems

• Role of para-transit

• Priority to non-motorized transport

• Parking

• Use of cleaner technologies

• Innovative financing mechanisms using land

as a resource

• Association of the private sector

Part @ 4 Addressing the issues

Missing Link… • Nearly 100% of trips to a bus stops start and end on foot.

• 78% of trips from a metro station are walk trips.

• 12% of trips to a metro station use cycle rickshaws.

• 35% of trips are walk only trips.

• 12.5% of trips are by bicycles.

42

Both reducing demand for ‘hard’

infrastructure and saving money

Public Transport trips are multi-modal, usually involve non-motorized travel at

either end of the journey.

How DIMTS is contributing…

Transport Demand Forecast Study

• DIMTS, on behalf of Transport Department, commissioned “Transport

Demand Forecast Study” in 2008.

– To develop a Transport Demand Forecast Model and Identification of

a Road cum Public Transport Network to meet the city demand by

2021 & beyond.

– The study identified a total length of 583.4 kms for the development of

different public transport systems:

Metro 148.2 kms

BRT 394.9 kms

Mono Rail 40.3 kms

Bus Cluster Operations & Route Rationalisation

• Re-grouped the 657 routes of Delhi into 17

clusters using digital models.

• Operating buses under first five clusters.

• Frequently testing the efficiency of bus

operations to cater to majority of public using

strategic model.

• Advisory to Transport Department and Delhi

Transportation Corporation (DTC) for any

modifications in bus routes and operations.

Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) System

DIMTS has developed an automatic vehicle

tracking and fleet management solution

known as the Automatic Vehicle Location

(AVL) System. The system is being installed

in buses in Delhi. The buses can now be

tracked and their expected arrival time

conveyed to passengers at bus stops.

AVL Dashboard

Route-wise Tracking History Tracking

- Real Time Fleet Monitoring

Transit Oriented Development

• Four corridors identified under Phase-1 of TOD along metro line.

• Testing the effects of various Urban Forms on Travel Variables, customized to

Delhi context.

• Selecting the best land-use mix and network density for the study area

based on station typology.

Investment focus on one mode of public transport and minor

investment in other modes.

Integration within and between different modes of transports • Physical Integration • Fare Integration • Route Integration • Information Integration • Institutional Integration

Improving Public Transport- Multimodal Integration

63

Promote Non Motorized Transport • Provision of cycling and walking tracks

• Road Safety Measures

• Appropriate pricing of vehicle use and fuels

• Regulation of polluting motorized modes

• Information and Awareness Campaigns

• High NMT share especially for short distance trips(e.g. in Delhi 55% of trips are less than 5 kms) is the need of the hour and should be a priority in any low carbon strategy.

Demand Management-Regulatory Instruments

Regulatory Instruments for discouraging travel and denying access

• Physical restraint measures- restricting access for certain private vehicles e.g. in Athens, Manila, Mexico, Seoul

• Traffic Management Measures-Area traffic control system, ITS etc.

• Parking Regulation- Restriction in parking space supply

• Speed Restrictions- Minimum and Maximum speed limits

• Inspection maintenance and certification- programmes for inspection and certification, driver training etc.
