5. Introduction
 Journey can be defined as the time spent traveling for as from home to work or in the course of business.
 Journey time is a usually specified period of time spent in traveling at work or from the entrance of a business
establishment to the place where work is actually done for which compensation may be demanded or paid
 And the value of journey time can be defined as the price people are willing to pay to acquire an additional
unit of time.
 Journey time savings is often the principal benefit of a transportation project.
 A recent World Bank study (2017) shows that Dhaka’s average traffic speed has dropped from 21 km/h
to 7 km/h in the last 10 years, slightly above the average walking speed. Traffic gridlock eats up 3.2
million work hours per day.
4

6.  Another study conducted by the Copenhagen Consensus Center (2017) says
that the speed in Dhaka is now 6.4km/h, and that if vehicle growth continues
at its current pace, without substantial public transport the average speed
may fall to 4.7 Km/h.
 It is essential to study the travel behavior of people working on different field
at various cities around the country and their choice of mode for improving
the overall transport planning system in Dhaka city as well as other cities all
over the country.
 In the absence of significant external factors, humans tend to walk at
about 1.4 meters per second or 5 km per hour. Although humans are
capable of walking at speeds up to 2.5 m per second or 9 km per hour
at a comfortable level, humans typically choose to use only a small
range within these speeds. Most people find very fast or slow speeds
uncomfortable.
 Traffic congestion in the capital causes a loss of about $1.68 billion a
year, according to a high official of the Dhaka Transport Coordination
Board (DTCB). Convert to money by which every hour around 42000
taka(1 USD=81 taka).

7. Objectives of the Study
i) To identify journey time and cost on different routes(Motorized Vehicle),
ii) Selection of comfortable and safe route.
iii) To identify the best route based on vehicle selection,
iv) Analysis on a specific route by non motorized vehicle(Rickshaw)

8. The main purpose of this research is to find out the attribute that affect
the choice of travel route. Questionnaire survey both online and field have
carried out at 6 routes under these selecting place. A total of 75 people
were participated on survey among them 60 were from field survey and
the rest of are from online survey.

27. Result and Discussion
The intention of this article is to develop an econometric model that
predicts travel time variability. Prior to the discussion on econometric
models, some general information about travel time variability has been
assessed. The results presented in this paper gave insights in the
empirical relationship between travel time variability and mean travel
times as well as other variables, such as delay, congestion index,
volume-capacity ratio etc.

30. Non-motorized Vehicle means a device not incorporating a motor or an engine of any type for
propulsion, and with wheels, tracks, skids, or other contrivance for traveling on or adjacent to land. It
shall include such vehicles as bicycles, rickshaw etc.
It means a vehicle propelled or driven by muscular power.
We also try to find a best route for Mohammadpur to Mouchak in non-motorized vehicles category.

35. Limitations of the Study
 Due to corona pandemic we face some difficulties to collect data.
 People are reluctant to talk to us & give us information.
 We also could not work together due to pandemic situations.
 During data collection there were some VIP movement which may affect
our data collection.
 Metrorail project from Shahbag to Farmgate is underway, which may
affect our survey.
 The major limitation of the Study is the sample size which is not sufficient
to better understanding of the route choice behavior.
36

36. Recommendations for Future Study
 Following are the few recommendations for future research study:
 Need more Study & analysis in these routes.
 A new Survey should be conducted after the pandemic situation & the completion of the
metro rail work
 Communicate with more passengers for more information
37

37. Conclusion
Travel time distribution properties were investigated in term of
various time windows. It was observed that the travel time
distribution tends towards a skewed distribution whether the
time window is introduced or not. This finding provides a
constructive theoretical foundation for the modeling of travel
times. Due to the variation in the sample, the results of the
analysis can be used to predict travel times on other areas in
Bangladesh. In order to yield similar results for other road types,
the analysis as in this paper can be done using an appropriate
data set. The model developed in this research is an
improvement to existing rules-of-thumb on how to include the
influential factors in travel time variability analysis.
