5. Implementation Plan
3. 1. Preliminary Study
Set Objective
Decide the study area
Determine organisation to carry out the
study
Collection of existing data and information
o Structure plan of the study area
o Existing land use plan
o Existing socio-economic data
o Population
o Existing traffic volume
4. Preliminary Study (Cont ….)
Zoning
o Each zone must be homogeneous in land
use and socio-economic characteristic
o Minimise ingress / egress to the zone –
natural boundary such as river can be used
as the boundary.
o As far as possible must be identical with
national census or election zoning.
o Centroit of each zone must be easily
located.
6. 2. Auditing existing situation
Evaluate existing transport situation (Based on observation)
Select important issues
Traffic survey
Seeking local user’s perception
Determine thresholds
Identify problems
Priorities problems
Opportunity and
Constraint Problem Statement
7. Observation Report
Road link (number of lane, traffic speed, …)
Intersection (type of intersection, …)
Regulation and penalties (parking penalty,
speed limit, ….)
Public Transport (station, bus lane … )
Pedestrian (crossing ….)
Land use (type of land use, ….)
Road safety (type of accident ….. )
8. Objective and Thresholds
Problems Objective Threshold
Efficiency
Vehicle delay Reduce travel time 120 seconds
Pedestrian delay Reduce pedestrian delay 60 seconds
Parking space shortage Provide more parking space one cps per 50 sq.m.floor area
Safety
Accident at intersections 1.30 personal injury accident a
Reduce year
Accident at road links 4.30 personal injury accident
vehicle a year
Environment
Noise Reduce noise level 70dB(A)
Unsafe feeling Reduce unsafe feeling
10. 3. Action Plan
Identify Problem
Short term (<3years)
Low Cost
Determine road hierarchy and user priority
Identify Actions
negative
Evaluate effectiveness
Positive
Determine side effect
Positive
Formulate Action Plan
11. Action Plans
Road hierarchy
Primary distributor

Local Distributor
Feeder road
Local road
Pedestrian path
Traffic management
Road repair
Traffic control
12. Action Plans (Cont …..)
Traffic restrain
Car park policy
Heavy vehicle restraint
Bus priority
Improvement of bus operation
Road safety
13. Seeking local user perception
To understand the local the local users
problem
To reduce conflict with the local users
To facilitate data collection
14. Long Term Plan
Determine Policies
Model Development
Forecasting Future Transport Demand
Propose transport facilities to cope with the demand
Cost estimation
Evaluation of each proposal to determine the best solution
Investment Priorities
22. Evaluation of each proposal to
determine the best solution
Project Cost
The projects in term of solution or
reduction of identified problems
Financial return.
