Location of Tech-park developed
by Bagmane Developers PVT. LTD.
Bagmane group intends to create world class
technology parks in Bengaluru. They have
various tech parks near Outer Ring Road in
east Bengaluru. The proposed development is
around 300 acres. Bagmane group intends to
study the traffic impacts of the project on the
existing transport infrastructure. It is
envisaged that new development would
attract business and lead to an increase in
traffic. Appropriate traffic and transportation
measures need to be adopted for ensuring
smooth access for users, considering the
future demand.
The Urban Lab provides technical support for
preparing macro and micro level traffic and
transportation plans in tech parks developed
by Bagmane. The work includes design
feasibility, traffic analysis, and conducting site
feasibility study in context of transportation
connectivity. This will help to enhance road
safety and ensure a smooth flow of traffic,
considering the internal and external
circulation requirements and the future
demands.

SITE DEVELOPMENT, MEHRANGARH FORT - JODHPUR, RAJSTHAN
Mehrangarh fort trust proposed to construct
circulation and parking facilities.
The Urban Lab worked with Arya architects to
review the concept plan, connectivity, entry
and exit points of the fort, pedestrian facilities,
parking, and bus movements.
The proposal includes enhancement of
pedestrian and vehicular movement along
with fulfilling future parking demand on the
site.

39. The Ministry of Railway has undertaken the
redevelopment of railway stations across
India. To realise the vision, the authority
formed and appointed Indian Railway
Stations Development Corporation (IRSDC)
as the nodal agency to re-develop the
existing/ new railway stations in India. The
redevelopment involves upgrading the
level of service and amenities to the
highest standards to better serve
passenger needs. As part of the program,
IRSDC commenced the redevelopment of
Jaipur and Jaipur-Gandhinagar stations.
The Urban Lab is appointed by Kamlesh
Parekh Architects to develop the
integrated traffic plan for both the stations.
The scope of work includes preparation of
the masterplan for the railway premise,
traffic circulation plan, inter-modal
transport facility plan, and urban design
interventions.

41. CYCLE PLAN – MYSURU
Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and
Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT)
implemented a Public Cycle Sharing (PBS)
system in City. The project aims to provide
bicycles on a sharing basis to citizens and
visitors in Mysuru. Users can register and use
bicycles on a nominal payment basis. The
system has 500 cycles and 48 docking stations
across Mysuru.
The Urban Lab is part of the project
management team under PwC. The team
worked on system planning, system design,
and implementation plan. The team continues
to support DULT and MCC in evaluation of the
system performance and developing
strategies for improving the system usage.

42. CYCLE PLAN – MYSURU
After identification of network, next step to
generate data by doing site truthing and
photographic documentation. On the basis of
exiting data, cycle track can be
accommodated on exiting section of street
without compromising any function.
various combination can be happen, where
cycle can be placed either on MV lane or
footpath. with reference of comfort for cyclist,
minimum 1.9 m width of cycle track or cycle
lane has been derived, without reducing
footpath. Through constructing cycle
infrastructure, comprehensive development
of the street was core idea.

43. CYCLE PLAN – MYSURU
JUNCTION DEVELOPMENT
For seamless movement of cyclist,
junction plays major role. Where
nature of junction can decide safety,
continuity and comfort. Generally cycle
lane has been separating from main
traffic lane, but we have done different
from convectional practice, in which we
have differentiate cycle lane not only
by painted lane but also provide
bollard to ensure safety precautions.
To achieve a contextual junction
design, we explored 2 option as per
Mysuru conventional traffic condition.
Eventually we have presented typical
junction design of 3, 4 and 5 arm
junction.
1) WITHOUT CYCLE BOX 2) WITH CYCLE BOX

45. CYCLE PLAN – AHMEDABAD
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation
implemented a Public Cycle Sharing (PBS)
system in decided region of the City. The
project aims to provide bicycles on a sharing
basis to citizens and visitors in Ahmedabad.
Users can register and use bicycles on a
nominal payment basis. Moreover as a pilot
project, for successful experiment, we have
focused more on educational area along with
Ahmedabad BRT connectivity.
The Urban Lab is part of the project
management team. The team worked on
system planning, system design, identification
of area and viable route and implementation
plan.

46. STREET DESIGN, KOCHI - SAHODARAN AYYAPPAN ROAD
Kochi is one of the three partner cities of the
SMART-SUT project, funded by GIZ. The
project aims to improve the planning and
implementation of sustainable urban
transport in Indian cities. The project
combines advisory services, training of
political partners and implementing
organisations through selected demonstration
measures for sustainable urban transport. One
of the projects under the Smart-SUT is the
‘Sahodaran Ayyappan (SA) Road Re-
development Plan’. SA road is a 4 km road
stretch from Vytilla Junction to Kerala Fine
Arts Society Hall. It has an elevated metro and
connects the main city to the national
highway.
The Urban Lab is involved in the design and
planning of the SA Road. The design is based
on the guiding principle of creating safe
streets with universal access, integration of
public spaces, landscaping, and street
furniture. The design provides for
development of pedestrian paths, access to
metro stations, parking spaces and
realignment of utilities.

53. JUNCTION DESIGN, AHMEDABAD – VADAJ JUNCTION
• I have an experience of similar complex junction
design in several cities of India.
• Along with junction design also have dine
supporting PCUs data analysis for efficient and
justified design.
• Moreover, work includes also signal cycle design
calculation in order to fulfill traffic management
parameter wherever it is require.

54. JUNCTION DESIGN, PUNE - 60 JUNCTION DESIGN
Pune Smart City Development Corporation
Limited (PSCDCL) is implementing an
‘Adaptive Traffic Management System’ in
Pune. The system will adapt to changes in
traffic conditions, improve travel time
reliability, reduce congestion and vehicle
fuel consumption. PSCDCL planned for
junction improvement to ensure efficient
system performance of the traffic
management system. They identified 110
junctions for improvement.
The Urban Lab was appointed to improve
the geometry and signal cycle design for 60
junctions. The design focused on
implementing compact junctions, providing
safe access to pedestrians and cyclists, and
mitigating wrong side traffic movement.
The design included dedicated pedestrian
and BRT bus signals at the junction along
the BRT corridor.
