In today’s world with the ever increasing traffic it is inherent that we immediately find an optimum solution for it so that we can move on from being a developing nation to a super power.
There is a great need to resolve our transportation issues at the earliest as connectivity is of grave importance. Finding a systematic and organized way around the current situation is only going to benefit us in the long run. Better connectivity reduces transportation costs immensely and saves time in traveling.

This presentation talks about the basics of transportation planning. The transportation jargons that are used like ROW, Carriage way etc. It also talks about the Road hierarchy, Intersections, Road Capacity and Level of Service.
Mass transit system refers to public shared transportation, such as trains, buses, ferries etc that can commute a larger number of passengers from origin to destination on a no-reserved basis and in lesser time. It can also be termed as Public Transport.
Highway planning and alignment: Different modes of transportation – historical Development of road construction- Highway Development in India –Classification of roads- Road pattern
– Highway planning in India- Highway alignment - Engineering Surveys for alignment – Highway Project- Important Transport/Highway related agencies in India. PMGSY project.

This presentation helps us to know, why BRT is important in Delhi and how it can curb the traffic on Delhi roads. It also tells us the implementation of BRT in Delhi. It also tells us the various advantages of BRT.
On May 20, 2010, Mary Raulerson of Kittelson & Associates held a workshop in Portland, OR which introduced and illustrated best practices in the field of Complete Streets using case studies she has been directly involved with around the country. During the workshop, special attention was given to the obstacles that had to be overcome and the solutions that worked. The goal of this session was to help identify and tailor practices that will further strengthen the region’s move toward creating, connecting and complimenting great places with great multimodal rights-of-way.

This presentation was prepared for an event organized by the Pla Estratègic Metropolità de Barcelona on February 10th 2017.
We focus on the challenge of creating attractive ‘places’ when we (as professionals) are so pre-occupied with getting ‘through space’. Presentation was given by Colin Black and John Dales in 2006 at the European Transport Conference. Virtually all of what we were saying then still holds true for planning, urban design and transport today. The application of learning sure takes time!

COTA’s Cleveland Ave. / Northeast Corridor Alternatives Analysis (NECAA) Project aims to provide faster, more convenient and more comfortable transit service, and improve bus stop amenities in the Cleveland Avenue corridor. Come to one of our public meetings to learn about alternatives being considered and give us your input!
With collaborations with various City divisions and private service providers (in this case Streetlight data providers), our North York mobility innovation team uncovered several surprising suburban travel behaviour, patterns and distributions of trips that lead to meaningful and quantitative multimodal mobility planning. This presentation is a summary of project experiences and describes the key findings.
In many countries, cities are expanding in terms of size, number residents and visitors, etc. The resulting increase in concentration of people, with their mobility needs, causes major traffic and transportation problems in and around our cities. Next to the economic impacts due to delay and unreliability of travel time, concerns regarding safety and security, emissions and sustainability become more and more urgent.
ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) hold the potential to reduce these issues. In the past decade, we have been more and more successful in making better use of the available infrastructure by using traditional ITS measures. As we will show in this talk, key to this success has been in achieving a profound understanding of what are the key phenomena that characterise network traffic flows, and designing solutions that capitalise on this.
The playing field is however rapidly changing. For one, we see a transition from road-side to in-car technology in terms of sensing and actuation. This provides great opportunities, but making best use of these is not trivial and requires a paradigm shift in the way we think about managing traffic flows where collaboration between the old stakeholders (e.g. road authorities) and the new stakeholders (e.g. companies like Google, and TomTom) becomes increasingly important. This will be illustrated in this talk by some examples showing how we can put the transition to in-car traffic management to use, both in terms of making optimal use of the new data sources and the use of the car as an actuator.
With respect to the latter, we will see that even for low penetration levels, which will occur in the transition phase towards a more highly automated traffic stream, considerable impacts can be achieved if we adequately consider the non-automated vehicles. Furthermore, it requires vehicles to be able to communicate and cooperate with each other.
These two elements are two of the five steps that was identified in the transition towards a fully automated system.
The final part of the talk will deal with the other steps that are deemed important to understand which of the scenarios in a urban self-driving future will unfold. These pertain to the interaction between man and machine, the need and willingness to invest in separate infrastructure in city, and whether automated car can co-exist with other (active) travel modes. With respect to the latter, we will also consider what ITS can mean for the other modes of travel.
How can we make traffic flow better so fewer of us are sitting in traffic jams for shorter periods of time – if at all?
Researcher Lina Kattan looks at Intelligent Traffic Systems that optimize the operation, safety and costs of a city’s transportation network through sustainable traffic control and transportation management strategies. These systems are designed to manage traffic congestion, signal controls and prediction of bus and LRT arrivals.
Read on to learn about solutions that are working and how new developments will change the traffic jigsaw in the not-to-distant future.

5. Introduction
Transportation planning, or transport planning, is involved with the
evaluation, assessment, design and siting of transport facilities (generally
streets, highways, bike planes and public transport lines).
It is carried out to address several statutory requirements ( planning
permissions, EIA, EIS, etc) and the assess the suitability of land to be developed for
clients
The evaluation, assessment, design and siting of transport facilities is usually carried out
using a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) or Transport Assessment (TA).
6. Introduction
The TIA ‘process’ consist of 3 fundamental steps:
The determination of the need for a TIA
The scope of the TIA
The preparation of the TIA itself
A TIA should normally be produced where either of the following conditions are met:
Traffic to and from the development exceeds 10% of the two-way traffic flow on
the adjoining highway.
Traffic to and from the development exceeds 5% of the two-way traffic flow on the
adjoining highway, where traffic congestion exists or will exist during the
assessment period.
7. Introduction
The format of the TIA depends on the complexity and size of the proposal, any Local
Authority requirements and the type of permission sought.
A typical contents page would be as follows:
Non-Technical Summary
Existing Conditions
Proposed Development
Modal Choice/Trip Attraction
Trip Distribution
Assignment of Development Traffic
Assessment Years
Highways Impact
Internal layout (Parking Provision, Pedestrian/ Cyclists/People with
Disabilities/Public Transport)

16. Design and Construction of Roads to Adoptable
Standards - Road Specifications
The elements of the road pavement construction are
Sub-grade (or capping if laid) - This is the foundation on which the road
construction is built;
Sub-base - Is a layer of granular material that is laid on the formation;
Base- Is a layer of bituminous material laid on the sub-base. Base material with an
aggregate size greater than 28mm is not acceptable;
Binder Course - is laid on the base. With certain materials it is possible to combine
the binder course and base layers; Manchester
Surface course - provides the running surface of the carriageway. In certain
circumstances, block paving is used instead of bituminous surfacing and binder
course.
