Tackling traffic and pollution
An insightful presentation analyzing the causes, implications and solutions of the traffic (and pollution) woes of Indian cities, with Bangalore as a case study, substantiated with facts and illustrative images..
Bangalore Traffic Solution
The document summarizes the issues with Bangalore's traffic and proposes solutions. It argues that [1] widening roads is not a long term solution as traffic will only continue to increase, [2] building metro rail is too expensive and will take 100 years to complete, and [3] the bus is the best solution to provide public transportation. Buses can carry many more people than individual vehicles and greatly reduce traffic, pollution, and infrastructure costs when widely adopted. The document advocates for increasing bus usage and non-motorized transportation like cycling to simplify commutes without harming the city.
Bangalore traffic - Solution
Bangalore's traffic mess is caused by trying to widen roads endlessly to keep up with increasing vehicle numbers, which has failed worldwide. The solution is to move to sustainable transport by increasing public transport like commuter rail and buses, reducing private vehicles, and promoting cycling and walking. This could reduce vehicle numbers by 75%, commute times by 50%, pollution by 80%, and road spending by 90%, allowing more investment in essential services. While metro rail would take over 100 years, commuter rail could start in 1 year for a fraction of the cost and provide immediate benefits through a more sustainable transport system.
Dealing with Urban Mobility Challenges - What can we learn from China?
The document discusses urban mobility challenges in China and potential solutions:
- China faces issues like traffic congestion, poor air quality, road safety concerns, and parking shortages due to factors like rapid urbanization and rising private car ownership.
- The Chinese government has implemented initiatives like quotas on new vehicle licenses, restrictions on vehicle circulation, increased parking fees, improved public transportation, dedicated bus and bike lanes, promoting electric vehicles, and encouraging small fuel-efficient vehicles.
- Some solutions like restrictions on circulation, improved public transit, and dedicated bus lanes have shown success in reducing pollution, congestion, and parking issues in Chinese cities, and may be transferable to European cities facing similar problems.

This is a presentation given by Aitor Somers, consultant at Duval Union Consulting and expert in mobility. This slide deck gives a more thorough insight on the symbiosis between the mobility of the future and other societal, demographical and economic changes on a holistic level.
Public transport will save Bangalore
The document discusses two options for addressing Bangalore's traffic problems: 1) increasing infrastructure to accommodate more vehicles or 2) reducing traffic by improving public transportation. It argues that option 1 will not work because doubling road widths every 5 years to match rising vehicle numbers would destroy homes and businesses. Air pollution and temperatures would also rise dramatically. Option 2 of improving public transportation could reduce vehicles to 1980 levels, cutting pollution by 88%, road space needs by 88%, and commute costs by 80% while doubling speeds. It cites Bogota, Colombia's example of restricting cars and investing in buses, bikes, and pedestrians to dramatically improve commute times and reduce pollution.
Transportation for make in india
Increasing demand for passenger and freight transport in urban areas of India is challenging governments and transport authorities. Issues related to transportation include energy use, space use, road safety, air pollution, and noise pollution. Potential solutions include integrated planning, innovative transport solutions, electric vehicles, better public transit, promoting cycling and walking, and restraints on motorized travel. Indian cities are working to establish their own models for sustainable urban transport solutions based on national and local policies.
Pool in - Make a Difference
The continuous rise in the population of our country has been a key factor in the deterioration of the environment. What’s even more shocking is the fact that most of us are oblivious towards the aggravating danger. For those of us who do realize the threat, have given up on any controlling measures because nothing seems to be working out efficiently. The consequences of such population explosion impacts every life form in the long run.

Research on Traffic Congestion in Bangalore
Bangalore has the 6th worst traffic in the world. The increase in vehicles has outpaced the growth of road infrastructure. This has led to increased traffic congestion, especially in areas with many IT companies. The document examines reasons for traffic and proposes solutions like increasing vehicle occupancy, investing in public transport and road infrastructure, and encouraging more sustainable transportation options to reduce environmental impacts.
Will electric cars save cities from the car?
The document discusses the negative impacts of car dependency and urban sprawl. It notes that cities with higher rates of driving have fewer people and that an over-reliance on cars can degrade cities through dispersed development patterns, generous parking, and automobile-oriented planning. However, dense cities can accommodate more people in less space, leaving more natural areas intact. The future of transportation may increasingly involve ride-sharing and fewer people owning their own cars.

La Rochelle Mobility Forum is part of a 4 high quality forum cycle. Climatlantic is a project co‐funded by INTERREG IVB ATLANTIC AREA Programme,aimed at developing an Atlantic Strategic Agenda for Sustainable Urban Development and the reduction of the Carbon Footprint covering four main pillars: mobility, energy, territorial management and social behavior.
Respiro
Respiro Car Sharing offers an alternative to car ownership in cities by providing a car sharing service with vehicles available by the hour in neighborhoods. The company has experienced exponential growth since 2010. It aims to be carbon neutral through calculating and offsetting its greenhouse gas emissions via reforestation programs. The service seeks to reduce costs, cars, and emissions in cities through providing shared vehicles as a more sustainable form of urban mobility.
Communauto
Montreal is the second city in North America to develop carsharing after it began in 1995. Currently there are over 1100 cars in Montreal's carsharing system, including 400 electric vehicles and hybrids. If all personal cars in Montreal's metropolitan region were shared, it is estimated that 18-37% of vehicles, approximately 210,000-540,000 cars, could be eliminated. Households that use carsharing in Montreal drive their personal vehicles 4 times less and use bikes and transit more. The presentation proposes a plan to add 1000 electric vehicles to Montreal's carsharing fleet over the next 5 years and expand the public charging network.
Bangalore city traffic
The document discusses challenges with Bangalore's traffic and proposes solutions. It notes that the city's roads are old and narrow, and there are too many vehicles. It suggests limiting vehicle use on certain days, encouraging parking structures, and penalizing construction delays. It also calls for improving public transit, coordinating road work, increasing fines for violations, and teaching road safety in schools. The document emphasizes that fixing traffic issues requires efforts from government agencies, police, and the public working together.
Velostream
The document proposes the Velostream network, a system of raised tubular tunnels for cycling that would span London's commuter routes. This would create a safe, weatherproof environment for cycling and revolutionize its use in the city. The tunnels would accommodate two-way cycle lanes along existing rail, road and water routes. By providing a direct, fast and safe alternative, the Velostream network aims to dramatically increase the number of cyclists and encourage a healthier lifestyle while reducing emissions and burden on public transport. It could generate revenue through usage fees and commercial opportunities.

The document discusses how while the automobile has benefited society in many ways, it relies on fossil fuels which produce harmful emissions and contribute to issues like global warming and increased cancer rates. However, electric vehicles are developing in ways that could help address these problems, like the Chevrolet Volt which can run off electricity or gas and only requires filling up every 1,500 km with a daily charge. Overall the document argues that improving automobile technology, like developing electric vehicles, may be a way to solve the environmental issues caused by fossil fuel-powered cars.

This document discusses sustainable mobility in Kampala, Uganda. It notes that while non-motorized transport like walking and cycling make up 60% of trips, the infrastructure does not adequately support these modes and makes them unsafe. A pilot project was started to create a non-motorized transport corridor but has faced delays in implementation. The document argues for a more integrated planning approach that focuses on user experience, promotes alternative modes like cycling, and creates a regional benchmark for sustainable mobility in Africa.
How do you envision the city of the future?
The document discusses how cities of the future may address current problems like overpopulation, pollution, and energy efficiency through three sentences or less:
Cities of the future will empower families to plan their size, promote social norms for smaller families, and ensure everyone has access to reproductive healthcare to address overpopulation. Pollution from cars and industries will be eliminated by requiring all vehicles and buildings to be electric, solar-powered, and green to be clean. Renewable energy sources will provide 100% of the energy consumption to improve efficiency from the current 11% through solely using pollution-free renewable sources like solar and eliminating fossil fuels.
Electric Scooters Trends
At the end of 2019, the overall amount of electric scooters sold approximated to 4.9 million. The device uses a motor that has the potential to propagate at a speed of no more than twenty miles per hour.
Atlas Cars Of London - Hybrid Cabs In London
Hybrid Cabs are the future of London's transport industry. They are not only more fuel efficient, they preserve the environment and significantly reduce carbon footprint responsible for spreading diseases.
Sustainability Presentation
The document defines sustainable transportation as a system that meets citizens' needs in a way that satisfies humans and the ecosystem, while promoting fairness between generations. Sustainable transportation limits environmental waste within the planet's capacity, uses renewable resources sustainably, and aims to create efficient mobility for communities through policies, systems, and technologies. Currently, transportation accounts for 20-25% of global energy use and carbon emissions. The history of transportation development includes innovations like the passenger train and bicycle, while oil price drops in the 1980s-90s increased individual vehicle ownership and suburban development patterns requiring car dependency.
Delhi
The presentation is focused on highlighting the transport issues like congestion, outdated infrastructure and need of ideas and technology to improve the same. The idea of land air-bus in the capital city is highly suggested to reduce surface congestion.
City of the future
The document discusses the city of the future with a focus on renewable energy, transportation systems, and design concepts. Population growth is expected to put pressure on existing infrastructure. Future cities will need renewable energy sources like solar and wind to power them more sustainably. Efficient electric vehicles and hyperloop systems could address issues with congestion and pollution from current transportation networks. Radical design concepts may be needed, exploring ideas like floating cities or underwater settlements to accommodate more people given potential land constraints.

This document discusses the future of design education. It covers 4 main topics: 1) Drivers of change which explores issues like resource scarcity, financialization, and the need for new values like reconnecting with place. 2) The future curriculum which focuses on systems thinking, social-ecological design, and learning from informal economies. 3) Future learners which explores new models like learning ecosystems centered around places and materials like Fibersheds. 4) Pedagogy which advocates experiential learning through hosting, knowledge curating, and peer-to-peer accreditation rather than traditional classroom models.
Traffic problem
Traffic getting in and out of the school takes 30 minutes due to small gates and no parking, which causes bumper to bumper traffic. Expanding the roads to 6 lanes and having a police officer direct traffic could help fix this problem by making traffic lighter and faster.
Traffic Problems in Cities.
This document discusses traffic problems in large cities and proposes some solutions. It notes that city roads are crowded with vehicles and pedestrians around the clock, leading to many accidents reported daily. Proper traffic facilities are not available everywhere due to lack of funds or narrow roads. Some drivers and pedestrians lack road sense by taking wrong turns or crossing dangerously. Advanced countries have better traffic control techniques but still see thousands of accidents yearly as traffic volumes rise. To address these issues, the document recommends improving road conditions, installing traffic lights at dangerous areas, ensuring only road-worthy vehicles are used, punishing traffic violators severely, and conducting public awareness campaigns using media.

Traffic problem project
The document summarizes traffic problems in Bangalore, India. It notes that high private vehicle ownership combined with an unorganized lifestyle has led to excessively high traffic. This causes issues like increased travel times, pollution, and accidents. Specifically, there are now 32 lakh total vehicles in Bangalore, with private vehicles making up 90% of traffic. The traffic volume is 2-3 times the road capacity. Individual and government steps are proposed to help address the problem, such as increasing public transportation options and promoting carpooling.
Traffic control
Road traffic control involves directing traffic safely around disruptions using devices like traffic signs, signals, and roadway markings. Traffic signals specifically use red, yellow, and green lights to direct conflicting traffic movements at intersections in order to reduce crashes and delays. Different types of signals and lane signals are used depending on the traffic situation. Traffic signs inform road users of laws, hazards, directions and distances using regulatory, warning, and informational signs in different colors and formats. Roadway markings also guide traffic and indicate parking and lane restrictions. Together these traffic control devices aim to safely manage traffic flows.
Indian traffic systems
This document discusses traffic and road safety issues in India. It notes that India has a diverse range of vehicles on its roads from slow moving rickshaws to fast motorbikes. While laws exist, traffic safety remains poor due to factors like lack of separate lanes, speeding vehicles, and lack of enforcement. It provides statistics on the high number of traffic accidents and deaths in India each year, with most caused by driver error or mechanical defects. Overall, it argues that India faces serious road safety challenges due to insufficient infrastructure, disrespect between road users, and lack of priority given to improving the situation.
Traffic Solutions
Increased population in many UK cities has led to problems like congestion. Over the last 40 years, cities have implemented new transportation methods such as cycle lanes, bus lanes, park and ride lots, and one-way streets to help ease traffic issues. Traffic calming measures have also been used in residential areas. However, Cambridge still struggles with heavy traffic congestion during rush hours due to narrow roads not built for modern traffic, increased car ownership, and more commuters.

Bangalore - the Bus as a solution.
The document discusses how buses can help reduce traffic congestion in Bangalore. It notes that BMTC buses carry over 37 lakh people daily using just 5000 buses, while 32 lakh cars and two-wheelers carry only 32 lakh people. Buses take up much less space and cause less pollution per person transported compared to private vehicles. The example of Bogota, Colombia is provided, where the mayor implemented policies like bus rapid transit systems, bicycle routes, and restricting car access that dramatically cut commute times and pollution. With political will, buses could similarly help solve Bangalore's traffic issues on a large scale.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) of Indian Metropolitan Cities metropolitan cities often crosses 400, a situation when 100 per cent of the population is at risk. As winter sets in, medical practitioners advise that we stay indoors, avoid walks in the park and wear facemasks if we have to step out.traffic problems in bangalore
Bengaluru, India is facing serious traffic and pollution problems due to rapid population growth and increase in vehicles. The number of vehicles in Bengaluru has doubled in the last 7 years to nearly 2 crore vehicles. Two wheelers make up over 70% of vehicles and contribute significantly to traffic and air pollution. Expanding roads and building more infrastructure has not solved the problems. The document discusses that improving public transportation by adding more buses and promoting cycling and walking is the best long term solution to reduce traffic, pollution and congestion. It will also be more cost effective than continuing to expand roads and a metro rail system.

This document discusses the need for a metro rail system in Hyderabad to address traffic congestion and pollution problems. It notes that vehicular pollution is decreasing air quality and health in the city. The government plans to start an eco-friendly metro rail system to provide public transportation. A metro rail could reduce traffic and pollution, make cycling more viable for transportation and exercise, and address the high number of vehicles on roads due to population growth. However, some citizens remain unaware of the metro rail project and its benefits. Educating the public about metro rails being people-friendly, eco-friendly, and affordable could gain support for the system and improve health, economic, and environmental conditions.
Bangalore - Metro is not the solution
The document summarizes key differences between Bangalore's proposed metro system and improving the existing bus system. The metro will have limited initial coverage of just 33 km compared to London's 400 km system. It will be very expensive, costing over 100,000 crore rupees to achieve similar coverage as London. In contrast, improving bus services could provide city-wide coverage much more quickly for only 2,500 crore rupees. The metro also risks significant environmental damage by requiring elevated tracks, unlike other metro systems that are mostly underground.
Traffic problems in India ( Bangalore)
Bangalore is facing serious traffic and pollution problems due to rapid growth in population and vehicles. Two-wheelers make up over 70% of Bangalore's vehicle population, and traffic has increased road congestion, air pollution, and stress for drivers. To address these issues, the document recommends improving public transportation like buses, which can carry many more people than private vehicles and reduce road space usage. It also suggests better traffic management through measures like coordinated traffic signals and restricting parking. The long term solution is to reduce private vehicle usage and promote public transport and non-motorized transport to achieve a more sustainable transportation system in Bangalore.
Mobility and City Streets: Metro Bikes as Smart Urban Mobility Solution
Mobility and City Streets: Metro Bikes as Smart Urban Mobility SolutionWRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities
- Metro Bikes is a self-ride shared mobility solution that allows users to locate nearby bikes, e-scooters, or e-bikes using an app, unlock them with OTP or PIN, ride to their destination, and leave the vehicle there for the next user to pick up.
- It aims to provide first and last mile connectivity from metro stations and other transport hubs to reduce congestion and encourage the use of public transit.
- Surveys found that over 80% of respondents were willing to use Metro Bikes for last mile trips averaging 0.5-8 km, with 40-50% currently spending Rs. 20-50 on alternatives like autos, buses, or taxisWCU outreach presentation
Pedestrians account for 30% of road users but occupy less than 3% of road space. Car users account for only 2% of road users but occupy 19% of road space. Over the last two decades, the population and number of vehicles have grown significantly but road space has not increased proportionately. This has made the roads more dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, and users of public transport. Promoting public transport and allocating more road space to pedestrians and cyclists can help address these issues and make the city's transport system more sustainable and inclusive.

Traffic Congestion
This document discusses the causes of traffic congestion in Dhaka City, Bangladesh. It identifies several key factors contributing to congestion, including a rising population and vehicle growth rate without sufficient expansion of roads. Dhaka has only 7% of its total area dedicated to roads, compared to the recommended 25%. Other causes include inadequate traffic enforcement, dysfunctional traffic lights, unplanned road design, centralized development drawing people into the city, and illegal parking reducing effective road space. Addressing these underlying issues through improved planning, infrastructure expansion, and enforcement of traffic rules could help remedy the severe congestion that plagues Dhaka.

Sustainable planning through introduction of bicycle facilities in indian cities
This document summarizes a paper on introducing bicycle facilities in Indian cities to promote more sustainable transportation. It discusses how bicycles were traditionally the primary mode of local transport in India but are now underused due to a lack of dedicated infrastructure and dangers from motor vehicles. The benefits of bicycles include being non-polluting and affordable. Successful bicycle programs in other countries include bicycle sharing systems. Factors in planning bicycle infrastructure include road networks, topography, and population size. A case study of Kochi, India found that many residents would use bicycles if safe facilities were provided.
Traffic Jam in Dhaka City.pptx
The document discusses traffic jams in Dhaka City, Bangladesh. It notes that Dhaka has a population of over 1.5 core people and is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. As a result, it faces severe traffic problems due to rapid population growth and inadequate transportation infrastructure. On average, people in Dhaka spend 2.2 hours in traffic daily, with 1.15 hours lost due to traffic jams. Traffic jams have significant economic and public health impacts, costing the country billions each year. The document examines causes like poor roads, unregulated vehicle growth, and lack of traffic systems and proposes solutions like expanding roads, introducing bus rapid transit, and developing metro rail systems
Changing course in urban transport
The document discusses sustainable urban transport and improving quality of life in cities. It notes that rapid motorization has negatively impacted cities economically, environmentally, and socially. The main problems are listed as energy consumption, emissions, safety issues, congestion, and social exclusion. Solutions proposed include improving transport efficiency, shifting modes to public transit and non-motorized options like walking and cycling, and reducing or avoiding travel. Examples given of successful cities emphasize high quality public transit integrated with land use planning and policies supporting alternatives to private vehicles.
Public Transportation
This document discusses the economic merits of public transportation systems, specifically subways. It begins by outlining the various modes of public transportation, including buses, light rail, subways, and more. It then focuses on subways, explaining that they provide fast transportation for large groups of people while avoiding collisions. The document lists several economic benefits of subways, such as generating jobs, increasing property values and business revenues. It also notes that subways are safer and can save households money compared to automobile use. In conclusion, while public transportation provides economic and environmental benefits, it also has some disadvantages such as lack of late night service in some areas.
Metro vs. Bus - which is better ?
The document discusses the pros and cons of metro rail systems compared to bus transport systems. It notes that metro systems are much more expensive to build, often costing hundreds of crores per kilometer compared to only 2-60 crores per kilometer for bus routes. Metros also take significantly longer to construct. The document further argues that metro systems have failed to adequately reduce traffic congestion and pollution in cities like Delhi and Kolkata. It advocates for improving bus transport as a more cost-effective solution that can be implemented more quickly and flexibly to meet a city's public transit needs.
