New guidelines for the transportation industryTransport Mall
Urbanization and modernization are the two dimensions of the World’s growth in today’s world. Moving on with the same perception, India hasn’t let itself away and is on track to lead way in the race of developments. The Central Government along with various divisions have come up with various new initiatives to promote urbanization and inculcate technology into daily lives of citizens of India.
We, at Transport Mall have summarized all the new policies of the government into the slides.
This paper is purely a data compilation of Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (UMTA) among various cities in India. It describes and compares UMTA of five different Indian cities including Hyderabad, Chennai, Indore, Pune and Jaipur. UMTA acts as an umbrella body that already co-ordinates the entire transport activities of the city are expected to cover more areas under the public transport system. This paper also studies how cities that have constituted UMTA ensures a comprehensive public transport system.
On the basis of recommendations of the GoM and other pressing requirements, MoRTH introduced the Motor Vehicle (Amendment) Bill 2016 for consideration of the Cabinet. Today Cabinet Chaired by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the bill.
In the present Motor Vehicle Act, there are 223 Sections out of which the Bill aims to amend 68 sections whereas Chapters 10 has been deleted and a Chapter 11 is being replaced with new provisions to simplify third party insurance claims and settlement process.

Report No. 19 of 2010 - Performance Audit of Issue of Licences and Allocation...Life of A Public Auditor
In the last two decades the telecom sector witnessed rapid transformation with the National Telecom Policy-94 setting the stage for opening up of the sector. With changes in the sector, cellular mobile services outgrew the fixed line services. The most important change was the shift to a revenue sharing regime in National Telecom Policy (NTP) 1999 where the operators shared their revenue with the Government in the form of annual licence fee and spectrum charges. The Unified Access Services Licence (UASL) 2003 sought to frame the road map for a uniform licencing regime.
This sector has witnessed dynamic and rapid transition. It had been subject to audit and a report titled "Package of Concessions Given to Cellular Mobile Operators" was presented to Parliament in May 2000. A further review of the "Revenue Management in the Department of Telecommunications" was also undertaken by this office in 2004-05. This review mainly focused on the system of collection and accounting of licence fee and spectrum charges from the licensees. The Report based on this review was presented to Parliament in May 2006.
In January 2008, Department of Telecommunications issued 120 new licences for unified access services on the same day. These licences were issued at price which had been discovered in 2001. Issuance of 120 licences in just one day and at a price discovered in 2001 has drawn the attention of Media, Parliament and informed members of the civil society. Questions have been raised regarding the transparency in the allocation process and the failure in maximization of revenue generation from the allocation of spectrum, which is a national asset. This department had been receiving innumerable references from Members of Parliament and other sources repeatedly, questioningthe allocation processandthe price fixed for such allocation. The claim in each such reference is that ineligible applicants seem to have been granted licences and at a price which appeared far below what has been perceived to be the appropriate market price in 2008. It was in this context that this department felt that there was a sufficient justification to review the entire process of issuance of licences, award of spectrum and the implementation of the UAS regime. The need fordoing so was further justified as six years have passed since the introduction of the UAS regime in 2003. While accepting the Government's prerogative to formulatethe policy of UASL, it wasfeltthatan in-depth examination of implementation of such policy needed to be done.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

14. Financing of TOD Project
Financing of the TOD Project is done through the Value Capture financing Technique and
direct funding by the owner of the project.
Examples : Ahmedabad – Station Level TOD
Population: 5,570,585 (2011)
Area: 466 Sq. Km
Gross Density: 12, 000 person / sq.km
• A special tax – “betterment charge” – on
property within 250 m of transit corridor
• Increased FSI along transit corridors- 1.8 to 3.6/ 4.
• Additional 2.2 FSI To Be Purchased From ULB
• 10% reduction in parking for commercial uses
• Income from Sale of FSI/Concessions to be Part
of Transport Fund
15. Statutory Framework
• TOD policy should be notified as part of the Master Plan/ Development plan of the
city.
• The influence zone of TOD should be clearly notified by the concerned authority.
• The plan would be useful to assess the carrying capacity of the existing
infrastructure and the upgradation needed to meet the increased demand once
TOD is implemented.
16. Value Capture Financing
Value Capture is based on the principle that private land and buildings
benefit from public investments in infrastructure and policy decisions of the
Government. Part of the increment in value of land and building should be
captured to fund projects being set up for the public by the Central/ State
government and the ULBs.
17. Value Capture Method
• Land value tax – is considered the most ideal Value Capture tool which apart from capturing any
value increment, helps stabilize property prices, discourage speculative investments.
• Fees for changing land use (agricultural to non-agricultural) – land revenue codes provide for
procedures to obtain permission for conversion of land use from agricultural to non-agricultural
use.
• Betterment levy – one-time upfront charge on the land value gain caused by public infrastructure
investment. This occurs in two forms – revenue source for improvement schemes and for specific
projects.
• Development charges (Impact fees)- are area based and link the development charge to the
market value of land by carrying out periodic revisions.
• Vacant Land Tax (VLT) – is applicable on those landowners who have not yet initiated
construction on their lands.
• Land Acquisition and Development – acquiring and developing land could be adopted as a
useful Value Capture method to mobilize resources.
• Land pooling System (LPS) – is a form of land procurement where all land parcels in an area are
pooled, converted into a layout, infrastructure developed, and a share of the land, in proportion to
original ownership, returned as reconstituted parcels.
18. Kochi – Station Level TOD
500m TOD Area along Metro - Kochi
Edapally Station Influence Zone
Development around Edapally Station
Land Value Capture
• Sale of Additional FAR
• Metro Cess on Property Transactions
• “Accessibility Tax” as part of property tax
Ahmedabad – Station Level TOD
Population: 5,570,585 (2011)
Area: 466 Sq. Km
Gross Density: 12, 000 person / sq.km
• A special tax – “betterment charge” – on
property within 250 m of transit corridor
• Increased FSI along transit corridors- 1.8 to 3.6/ 4.
• Additional 2.2 FSI To Be Purchased From ULB
• 10% reduction in parking for commercial uses
• Income from Sale of FSI/Concessions to be Part
of Transport Fund
19. Metro Rail Act 2002
• The Metro Rail Act, 1978 and 2002 lays down the functions and
responsibilities of the Corporation and the manner in which it should
regulated and controlled by Government.
• It enables Central and State Government to established the Metro Rail
Corporation and appoint their attorney to regulate and control the
corporation.
20. Introduction
• Earlier in 19th Century Indian Tramways Act, 1886 was formed to established and operate
Tramways in India.
• The Metro Railway (Construction works) Act, 1978 is an Act of Parliament, formed for the
construction of India’s first Metro at Kolkata. Later applied to the construction of all Metros
across the country.
• The Metro Railway (Operations and Maintenance) Act, 2002, formerly the Delhi Metro
Railway(Operation and Maintenance) Act, 2002, is an Act of the Parliament of India that
governs the operations of metro rail systems in India.
• The law was first promulgated as an Ordinance on 29 October 2002. When it was first
enacted in 2002,the Act applied only to the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
• It was amended in 2009 to permit the Central Government to extend the Act to any
metropolitan city or area, after consultation with the concerned State Government.
• The amendment specifically prohibits the Centre from extending the Act to the Kolkata
Metro Rail, as it comes under Indian Railways.
21. Powers granted to the Central Govt. by Metro Rail Act, 1978
• Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is regulatory body of Metro Corporation.
• Except for the Kolkata Metro Corporation which comes under Ministry of Railways.
• Metro Rail Act, 1978 enables Central Govt. to provide various approvals to Metro Authority related
to the construction of Metro Rail.
22. Powers granted to the Metro Rail Corporation by Metro Rail Act, 1978
23. Powers granted to the Central Govt. by Metro Rail Act, 2002
• Metro Rail Act, 2002 grants power to Central Govt. for better operation and management of Metro Rail.
24.
25. Fare fixation
While fixing the fare slabs, The FFC
follows few points or principles. These are:
• Revenue optimization
• Affordability
• Long-term sustainability
• Accounting for environmental costs
• Social benefits
After every fare hike, FFC have to make
the fare hike report public.
FFC sends the recommendations to the Metro Rail Board. After, going through the recommendations and
amendments, the final fare slabs are sent to Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs for the signature after
which these fares are implemented.
26. Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid&)
Electric Vehicles in India
• GOI approved the National Mission on Electric Mobility in 2011 and was
Unveiled in 2013
• Department of Heavy Industry(DHI) has formulated as Scheme namely
FAME.
• The overall scheme is proposed to be implemented over a period of 6 years
till 2020 which includes to xEV market development and its manufacturing
Ecosystem.
• The phase 1 of the scheme implemented over a 2 year period i.e. FY 2015-16
and FY 2016-17.
• The Phase 2 proposed to be implemented over a period of 3 years, w.e.f 1st
April 2019 to 2022.
27. • Demand incentive shall be available for consumers (buyers/end users) in the form of an upfront
reduced purchase price of hybrid and electric vehicles to enable wider adoption, which will be
reimbursed to the OEM by Government of India.
• the demand incentive would be based on battery capacity (i.e. energy content measured in Kw-
Hr) used in the such vehicles.
• Vehicles, which are registered as “Motor Vehicle” as per the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR)
shall only be eligible for the incentives.
