Introduction of Regional Mass Transportation System Planning

1. Region is larger than Urban and rural area but
less than Nation
Region has to be planned in most effective and
self contained manner
Hence the planning and development of the land
should fit according to Conceptual plan of the
Region
Promotion of Accessibility- Home to Work, Shop,
School, Recreation. Source of Raw Material and
Labour to Industry

2. Separating the non dependable activity,
Combining the dependable activity
Development in visually pleasant manner
Social Aim : To provide healthy, good,
attractive environment to people.
To carry out human activity more efficiently
and less wastefully.

3. Providing transport network in the
regional, Urban, Rural area
Balancing of population and employment
to minimize movement
To take best advantage of existing facility
and available resources of construction
and improvement
Strengthening the pattern of service to
provide reasonable accessibility

4. Location of non agricultural land uses to
make the best use of natural resources
Regional Transport Planning
To locate the population and land
development and plan for entire area
RTP deals with planning of freeways,
express ways, NH, Railways, Air &
Waterways.
RTP deals with Transport System design,
Level of Services to the users.
Relationship to Land use and Economic
Development, level of Investment.

5. Relationship to land use and economic
development
Regional transport planner must
understand the economics of private and
public service
Technical inventions
Relative speeds of different modes
Freight and passenger transportation

6. Pavement width, Volume/Capacity Ratio
Service Frequency
Goal- Performance rating of transport facility
by 1) Users 2) Service provider
3) Non user public
1) User wants increased mobility, reliability
of transportation system, reduced travel time
& travel cost, Increased safety , comfort &
Aesthetics
2) Service provider wants reduced capital
cost, maintenance cost, operating cost

7. 3) Non user public wants increased
accessibility, reduction in pollution and
harmful environment.
CONSTRAINTS RELATED TO RTP
Geographical distribution, Funding
distribution, System Constraint, Inter modal
Constraint, Related development
Constraint, Fund limitation, Design Time

8. 1 Rectangular & Block Pattern
2 Radial & Block Pattern
3 Radial & Circular Pattern
4 Radial & Grid Pattern
5 Hexagonal Pattern
6 Minimum Travel Pattern
THEORIES OF DEVELOPMENT FOR
REGIONAL PLANNING
1 Concentric Ring
2 Central place theory
3 Growth pole theory

9. Conclusion : The pattern of future
distribution of population and employment
cannot be determined . But the theories
of REGIONAL PLANNING development
helps us to decide type of network &
facilities and their location to be provided.

10. 1 Aryans settled along the Indo gangetic
plains and developed roads
2 British empire developed roads for the
Administration & Military purpose
3 Nagpur Road Plan – 1943 – 1963
All Chief engineers met at Nagpur and
discussed the policies and Standards of
Road development in India
Four Category of roads were recommended
NH, SH,MDR.ODR,VR

11. Metalled Road
NH+SH+ODR=(A/8+B/32+1.6N)+D-R
A-AGRICULTURE AREA
B-NON AGRICULTURE AREA
N- NO OF TOWNS AND VILLAGES WITH
POP 2001-5000
T- NO OF TOWNS AND VILLAGES WITH
POP > 5000
D- DEVELOPMENT ALLOWANCE-15%
R- EXISTING RAIL TRACK

12. ODR+VR= (0.32V+0.8Q+1.6P+3.2S)+D
V- NO OF VILLAGES WITH POP < 500
Q-NO OF VILLAGES WITH POP 500-1000
P-NO OF VILLAGES WITH POP 1001-2000
S-NO OF VILLAGES WITH POP 2001-5000
D- DEVELOPMENT ALLOWANCE-15%
TOTAL LENGTH OF ROADS=532700 KM
DENSITY OF ROAD=16KM/100 SQ KM

13. TOTAL LENGTH OF ROADS=10,57,330 KM
DENSITY OF ROAD=32 KM/100 SQ KM
EXPRESS WAYS OF 1600 KM LENGTH
D- DEVELOPMENT ALLOWANCE-5%
PRADHAN MANTRI GRAM SADAK YOJANA
DECEMBER-2000
RURAL ROAD CONNECTIVITY IS ONLY
KEY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREA
INCREASEDACCESS TO ECONOMIC &
SOCIAL SERVICES

14.  REDUCTION IN POVERTY.
 40% OF POP IN THE COUNTRY IS STILL
NOT CONNECTED BY METALLED ROAD
 100% FUNDS WILL BE GIVEN BY CENTRAL
GOVERNMENT
 DISTRICT PANCHAYAT SHALL BE THE
AUTHORITY TO SELECT THE VILLAGES TO
BE CONNECTED WITH THE CORE
NETWORK PLAN . AFTER
RECOMMENDATION OF MLA,MP OF THE
AREA, DISTRICT PANCHAYAT WILL
APPROVE AND SEND TO STATE
GOVERNMENT AND CENTRAL

15. SPECIAL ATTENTION WAS GIVEN FOR
ROADS SHARING BORDER WITH
PAKISTAN,BANGLADESH,NEPAL
GOLDEN QUADRILATERAL-GQ
LARGEST EXPRESS WAYS PROJECT IN
INDIA- CONSTRUCTING 5851 KM OF
FOUR/SIX LANE EXPRESS WAY
CONNECTING DELHI,MUMBAI,CHENNAI
& KOLKATA

16. MUMBAI-PUNE EXPRESS WAY WAS
CONSTRUCTED UNDER GQ PROJECT

17. Population Forecasting is necessary to
develop the required facilities in the region
for developing housing, schools, hospitals,
public transport, road network, electricity
and water supply. Also for creating the
employment opportunity for the population
in the present and future.
( Industry, Agriculture, Commercial sector )
Population Forecasting can be done by
knowing the details and trends of Birth,
death, Migration in the region.

18.  Social facilities – education, medical,
recreation, good connectivity by Rail/Road
links, climatic conditions.
 Methods of Population Forecasting
 1) Arithmatical increase method – Based
upon the assumption that population
increases at constant rate w.r.t time in a
decade - dp/dt is constant
 Pn=(p0+n*x) where Pn is forecasted
population after n decades, p0 is present
population, n-No of Decades,x- average
population increase in the known decade

19. 2) Geometrical Increase Method- Assumed
that Percentage Growth rate per decade is
constant
Pn=p0(1+r/100)n
3)Cohort Analysis Method –Change in
population of a city depends upon birth,
death, migration
Pn=P +Natural Increase + Migration
Natural Increase=T(IbP-IdP)
T=Forecast Period
P= Present population
Ib=Average birth rate per year
Id=Average death Rate per year
