Mass rapid transit, also referred to as public transit, is a passenger transportation service, usually local in scope, that is available to any person who pays a prescribed fare.
It usually operates on specific fixed tracks or with separated and exclusive use of potential common track, according to established schedules along designated routes or lines with specific stops.
It is designed to move large numbers of people at one time.
Traffic demand management aims to reduce single-occupancy vehicle travel and redistribute travel demand. Managing traffic demand at junctions is important to reduce accidents, pollution, wasted time and money, and improve public transportation options. Several methods can be used for traffic demand management at junctions, including traffic surveys, educating the public, enforcing traffic laws, improving junction infrastructure with signs, flyovers, traffic lights, and pedestrian crossings, implementing bicycle infrastructure, congestion pricing, active traffic management, and integrated demand management. Case studies demonstrate how these strategies can be applied using existing traffic control systems.
At present, there are many problems being faced by road users in urban area with limitation of land space and traffic congestion, pedestrian are one of the most vulnerable entities of the transportation system It is observed that there is an increase in number of conflicts between pedestrian and the vehicles in the city. In order to mitigate the conflicts between vehicular traffic and pedestrian traffic an attempt is made to provide a Skywalk. The present study involves the Opinion survey of pedestrians, Mid-block traffic count, pedestrian count were carried out for Ashoka road on weekdays and weekends. From the opinion survey, traffic count and pedestrian counts we can conclude that there is a need to construct Skywalk to reduce the pedestrian accidents rates on Ashoka road.

Performance evaluation of santasi roundabout, kumasi ghana using micro simula...eSAT Journals
Abstract Roundabouts are an increasingly popular alternative to traffic signals for intersection control in the United States. Roundabouts have a number of advantages over traffic signals depending on the conditions. They reduce the severity of crashes since head-on and right-angle conflicts are nearly eliminated. They reduce through traffic speeds to provide a “calmer” roadway environment. They may consume less land area since turn pocket lanes are not needed and also have lower energy and maintenance costs. This study evaluated performance of Santasi roundabout in Kumasi, Ghana using micro simulation model. Traffic and geometric data were collected on the field. The analysis revealed that Santasi roundabout was operating at a level of service F, which represented worst conditions. Signalized intersection with 4 approach lanes was proposed to control all the movements. Exclusive pedestrian phases were proposed to protect pedestrians.

The spectacular growth of the automobile as one of the most convenient modes of travel has brought in its wake frustrating problems of parking, accidents, delay, congestion, etc. It is no longer sufficient to build roads of adequate structural strength to cater to the needs of vehicles, but it is equally important that the safe, efficient and comfortable movement of traffic and other road user is ensured on these roads. Highway intersections are nodes of road networks and accident - prone locations. They are the places where vehicles coming from different approaches and moving towards different directions interact and conflict with each other. Due to the conflicts from all users, more traffic crashes could happen at unsignalized intersection as compared with roadway segments. This study is fully based on the existing conditions of unsignalized intersection, including geometric design, sight distance, traffic control devices etc. The problems of parking, accidents and delay are also prevailing in the area under our study i.e. intersection at 26th mile. The intersection is an unsignalized one and therefore, the chances of accidents during the peak hours are very high. Since, it is a meeting point of a national highway and a state highway, the variation in the design speed of both roads also interrupts the traffic flow. Our study on the intersection at 26th mile mainly aims at improving the geometrical as well as the safety features of the intersection like accident control by signal installation, incorporation of proper sight distances, uninterrupted traffic flow without causing crashes, delay, etc.

This document analyzes and summarizes issues with the multimodal transit hub at Anand Vihar, New Delhi. It finds that the bus terminal has congestion due to a shared entry/exit, lack of separation between inter and intra terminals, and insufficient space. The metro station also has congestion and lacks proper connectivity to the bus terminal and railway station. The railway station has limited space for waiting and ticketing. Overall, the site suffers from a single entry/exit point that causes road congestion, long walking distances between transit modes, and conflict points where pedestrian and vehicle traffic mix. Proposed solutions include increasing the length of the foot overbridge and road width to address these connectivity and congestion issues.

The model can help analyze pedestrian safety and risks at uncontrolled crossings.
Pedestrian priority in urban area and usefulness towards communityeSAT Journals
Abstract Transportation network has become nerve of any city, the paradox here is that though meant for human travel, these roads hardly provide any quality space for those who are without vehicles (well known as pedestrian). Due to the ambiguous position of non-motorized travel in an urban transportation system, the transportation conditions for non-motorized travel are getting worse in cities, which illustrate the urgent need for the improvement for same. There is a requirement of combining traffic issues with pedestrian in a comprehensive manner and will make it an important part of road design. Preservation of nature, opportunities for cultural interface, a resource conserving environment with workable public transit and more occasions for walking should be prime objectives of urban planners. For urban development, pedestrian system should be well designed, safe and convenient. The Pedestrian Zone is the primary component of every street in a city. It is not only a zone to ensure smooth, comfortable, conflict free movement of pedestrians and public transport users, but also an area which shapes social interactions, safety and quality of life of people in a city. Pedestrian priority thus becomes a major and a very important phenomenon for urban development which in a way helps quality of life in an urban area. With the increase in population and keeping in view the world pedestrian scenario, this paper will bring some notices to facilities required, mode of travels to be looked upon and other such major issues are discussed.

Appraisal of airport roundabout on the antoa road, kumasi ghana using micro s...eSAT Journals
Abstract Roundabouts have become increasingly popular in recent years as an innovative operational and safety solution at both low volume and high volume intersections. Roundabouts have a number of advantages over traffic signals depending on the conditions. They reduce the severity of crashes since head-on and right-angle conflicts are nearly eliminated. They reduce through traffic speeds to provide a “calmer” roadway environment. This study appraised Airport roundabout on the Antoa Road in Kumasi, Ghana using micro simulation model. Traffic and geometric data were collected on the field. The analysis revealed that Airport roundabout was operating at a level of service F, which represented worst conditions. Signalized intersection with 4 approach lanes on the two principal arterials was proposed to control all the movements. Exclusive pedestrian phases were proposed to protect pedestrians. Keywords: Appraisal, Airport roundabout, Capacity analysis, Antoa Road.

The Cause, Effect and Possible Solution to Traffic Congestion on Nigeria Road...inventionjournals
Due to increase in population and the attraction of human activities into urban region which in
turn leads to the growth of vehicle ownership and use, there is demand for road space which has led to increase
in the number of public transport operation. Consequently, the demand for road space is greater than the
supply because the rate of provision of transport facilities is less than the rate of growth of vehicle ownership
and use which result into traffic congestion. Traffic congestion is the impedance of vehicles imposed on each
other due to speed-flow relationship in conditions where the use of transport system approaches capacity.
Traffic congestion in Nigeria, taking Basorun-Akobo Road in Ibadan Oyo State as a case study has been
analysed using experimental and theoretical approaches. These involve traffic counting and delay survey. In
order to carry out effective research work on the case study road, the method adopted were traffic counting and
traffic delay survey. The effect of traffic congestion on the study area are Waste of time, Delay movement,
Accident, Inability to forecast travel time, Fuel consumption, Road rage and environmental pollution. Possible
solutions to traffic congestion on the case study area is to: Dualize the Road, Provide Adequate Parking Space,
Construct proper Drainage and Install Traffic Control Devices.

average pedestrian count of about 4000/hour.
This also led to pedestrian spillover and
jaywalkers on the main carriageway. The
absence of guardrails and the encroachment of
footpath by street-hawkers aggravated the
problem. Hence, the disruption of smooth
pedestrian movement raises the accident rate
and causes traffic delays. The width of the
existing footpath is only 1.2m, while the ideal
width should have been atleast 4m, as per
standards. A high blank wall, demarcating the
station and footpath, aggravated the persisting
problem, by cutting the possible visual
connection between them. This stimulated the
abuse of the walkway by pedestrians. The
dilapidated walkway and the unaltered footpath
width continue to be a distress, with the level of
service being ‘F’. The remedial measures must
incorporate proper design of walkways, ensuring
transparency and fenestrations in the barricades,
to establish a visual access between them, and
thereby enhancing the urban public realm of
‘seeing’ and ‘being seen’.

I. INTRODUCTION
With the advent of urbanisation,
Bangalore has witnessed an exponential rise in its
population, due to its natural growth and influx of
migrants for better opportunities. Globalisation and
industrialisation have been the driving forces
behind the changing landscape of Bangalore city.
One such feature, which is being impacted due to
rising urbanisation, is the pedestrian walkway
(footpath).
II. CURRENT STUDY
The study analyses the pedestrian
walkway with respect to design factors and public
realm in the current urban scenario. Primarily, the
land-use pattern was studied to comprehend
potential and frequent users. Then, the footpath was
analysed for its design characteristics. This was
accompanied by a 10 hour survey to determine the
pedestrian count, further followed by a 24 hour
survey to ascertain the traffic volume. Public realm
studies were later carried out to infer its possible
influence.
III. LAND-USE ANALYSIS
The study has been carried out at a
walkway in one of the most congested and
developed area – Yeshwanthpur (figure 1) in
Bangalore West, where NH4, connecting Mumbai
and Bangalore passes alongside. While the area to
the west of the walkway encompasses
Yeshwanthpur Railway station (figure 2) and
residential outgrowth, the eastern side comprises of
Peenya Industrial Area.

IV. SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The study basically visualizes 40m of the
walkway adjacent to an unmanned exit (figure 3)
from the Yeshwanthpur Railway station. The visual
access from the walkway to the rail terminal is
interrupted by a large blank wall. The walkway also
comprises of fruit vendors and other street hawkers,
luring the potential customers entering and leaving
the railway station.
The survey confirmed that the walkway
did not comply with the IRC standards, as its width
was only about 1.2m (figure 4) and also lacked
guardrails, compulsory requisite for all National
Highways. The level of service for the walkway
was found to be „F‟, which is the lowest rating, as
per Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010. The
stretch parallel to the walkway also houses a petrol
bunk, an auto-rickshaw stand and an unsheltered
bus-stop, adding to larger agglomeration of public.
Under the current circumstances, with less width
and high pedestrian density, people often tend to
walk on the road to save time and avoid collisions
with other people, sharing the same space. This
causes pedestrian spillover onto the main
carriageway.

V. PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
As an intercity rail transit terminal, the
area is a major hub for people of all ages, classes
and occupations. In the survey conducted between
8:30AM–6:30PM on a weekday, the walkway was
found to be extremely congested with a maximum
pedestrian count of about 4000, and the pedestrian
walking speed reduced to as low as 0.54m/sec
during the peak hours. Even the space occupied by
the pedestrians dwindled from 0.18 to 0.08
m2/person, forcing spillover and jaywalkers (figure
5) with a disturbing hourly average pedestrian flow
of 26. The high frequency in usage may be
attributed to the fact, that apart from the railway
station, people from the surrounding residential and
industrial sectors also used the stretch to board and
alight from the buses. The pedestrian density was
found to vary from 5.3 to 11.42 person/m2, around
the peak hours.

Fig. 6: Heavy traffic volume.
The width of the two-lane carriageway
was found to be 7m with the maximum users being
motor-bikes, followed by cars. The traffic volume
(figure 6) along the walkway was found to be
38,498 alongside a disturbing hourly average
pedestrian flow of 26. As there was no provision of
zebra-crossing and median, the unruly crossing
speed of pedestrians was found to be around
1m/sec, thereby interfering with the smooth flow of
traffic, leading to delays.

For every 1 minute, the vehicles were
found to be delayed by an average of 5 seconds,
thereby aggravating noise levels and vehicle
operating cost.
VI. PUBLIC REALM ANALYSIS
To aggravate the persisting problem of
jaywalkers and high pedestrian density, the high
blank wall demarcating the railway station and
footpath, cuts the possible visual connection
between the two, stimulating the abuse of the
walkways by pedestrians and its encroachment by
street hawkers (figure 7). As the other side is not
visible, due to the presence of a huge wall along the
footpath, the commuters or pedestrians tend to
blemish the walkway (figure 8), by disposing
garbage, spitting & urinating. Thereby, making the
walkway a misfit, failing to actually serve its
purpose. The use of walkway by pedestrians may
also be biased by factors such as adjacent land-
uses, its visual and physical connections with the
walkway and the prevailing condition of the
footpath. Instead of paintings and sticking pictures
of deities on the wall to sensitize public, it is better
to ensure cleanliness and hygiene, through
transparency and design.

VII. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The solutions, envisaged for the current
issue, have incorporated road widening, without
any regard or consideration for the roadside
elements contributing to the urban landscape. This
has severely impacted the natural environment and
elevated air pollution levels, compounding the loss
of trees, which act as natural air-purifiers. Metro
rail project, which has been initiated along this
stretch to reduce stress on transportation and
environment, has failed too, as it has added to the
present congestion. With the commencement of the
Metro construction, roads have deteriorated, with
the top layer of the tarred road (figure 9) being
worn out at several places causing dust pollution.
Potholes and bottlenecks, introduced by Metro
construction and its barricades have increased the
waiting time and crossing time of vehicles, thereby
hiking the rate of automobile exhaust.

The area presently is a mute witness to Air
Quality Index (AQI) of 256, which incidentally
falls under the category/rating of „Severe Air
Pollution‟. Coincidentally, even the average daily
„maximum‟ and „minimum‟ noise levels have been
observed to be above 92 and 62 dB, both being
above city tolerance levels. All along this, the
stretch is already experiencing flash floods during
rainy seasons (figure 10), due to clogged drains,
compounded by the fact that it is located at a lower

level than the station. Along with all this, air
pollution levels are also further elevated.
VIII. RECOMMENDATIONS AND
DISCUSSION
The existing footpath width is only 1.2m,
whereas as per IRC standards, the ideal width
should have been atleast 4m with provisions of
guard rails and zebra-crossing, along with regular
maintenance of the road infrastructure. The
corrective measures must also incorporate
fenestrations in the barricades, to establish a visual
access, such that the link between them is enhanced
by the urban public realm. Since sky-walkers or
foot-over bridge cannot be incorporated with metro
being commissioned, an „I‟ shaped Subway (figure
11) having a width of 4m and vertical clearance of
atleast 2.5m, starting from the point of unmanned
exit, leading to the other side must be provided.
The subway apart from providing structural
stability and necessary safety measures for
pedestrians must also be pedestrian friendly,
promoting its use. The subways, instead of being
used solely for crossing can be made more
interesting with activities like informal hawking,
incorporated in the design itself. Informal hawking
in the subway would not only enrich the experience
of the pedestrians who use it, but also would help in
maintaining the place neat and clean.

IX. CONCLUSION
The study has revealed that the stretch
under investigation was inferior in all standards,
with respect to the service offered to pedestrians.
The high usage factor and the absence of guardrails
has further enhanced the problem of pedestrian
spillover and jaywalkers, disrupting the smooth
flow of traffic movement, raising the accident rate
and causing traffic delays by a maximum of 30
seconds per crossing.
The government initiated road widening at
the cost of roadside trees; all along with unaltered
footpath width has continued to contribute to the
spilling over of pedestrians onto the main
carriageway, aggravated by the dilapidated state of
walkway, as an outcome of pedestrian abuse and
encroachment by street hawkers. Recommendations
to counter the current situation, apart from
inclusions of corrective designs along with periodic
maintenance, also envisages provisions of grade
separated pedestrian facilities such as subway,
keeping public realm in mind.
