Standards for bus terminals
- 1. STANDARDS FOR BUSTERMINALS Inderjeet koner b.Arch
- 2. INTRODUCTION • A busstation is a structure where city or intercity buses stop to pick up and drop off passengers. • Bus geometrics, or the physical dimensions and maneuverability of the bus, determine the width of roadways, shapes of platforms, column spacing, ceiling heights, and other aspects of bus- level design. • The apparently insignificant detail of the right-side loading of buses often restricts terminal design possibilities.
- 4. ENTRANCES • When abus turns normally, it always turns about a point which is somewhere on the center line of the rear axle.This is true whether motion is forward or backward. • The turns required to accomplish the movement and positioning of buses are variable and differ considerably with the equipment encountered. • The turning template provides a convenient graphic method to determine minimum clearances required. SWEPT STREET • A Standard of 40 Persons Per Minute Would Be Representative of a Busy Situation With Occasional Traffic Disruptions. Where Free-Flowing Traffic Is Desired, A Standard Of 20 Persons Per Minute Should Be Adopted.
- 5. PLATFORM TYPES 1. PARALLELLOADING- Requires Excessive Amount Of Space. 2. Buses Must Usually Wait Until First Bus Exits 3. Large Terminal Requires Pedestrian Under/Overpass Facilities To Protect Passengers While Crossing Lanes. • RIGHT-ANGLE LOADING 1. Out swinging Bus Door Which Forms a Barrier around Which Passenger Must Pass. 2. Bus Maneuvering Difficult. • STRAIGHT SAW TOOTH LOADING 1. Efficient-Employed Where Lot Is Comparatively Narrow and Deep. 2. Passenger Has Direct Approach To Loading Door. 3. Baggage Truck Can Operate Between Buses For Side Loading.
- 6. • RADIAL SAWTOOTH LOADING Most efficient buses swing into position along natural driving are.Space required at front is minimum-wide space at rear making maneuvering easy. QUEUING SITUATIONS • Linear queues will occur where passengers line up to purchase tickets or board buses. • The length of a linear queue may be estimated on the basis of an average per person spacing of 20 in.
- 7. AREA REQUIRED ANDTERMINAL DETAILS • 5 Sq. M to 8 Sq. M area is required for one person. • For director it should be 20 sq. m. • Average space required 2.5sq.m per person for conference room.
- 8. REQUIREMENTS FOR ABUS TERMINAL • Waiting area for visitors • Toilet • Conference room • Personal Assistant to the Terminal Manager • Assistant Terminal Manager with Attached toilet • Administrative officer with Attached toilet • Assistant Administrative officers with toilet • Space for facilities like photo copying • Lockers for the staff • Public addressing section • Store room
