This document summarizes elevation measurements between various points in and around Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. It finds that the elevation difference between Katpadi and Arcot is 42.57 meters, between Melvisharam and Arcot is 39.88 meters, and between NH234 and Perumugai is 6 meters. Residents in Vellore are calling for improvements to road infrastructure like constructing new overpasses and widening existing roads to address traffic issues. The Chancellor of Vellore Institute of Technology has urged building a new overpass in Katpadi to ease congestion at the railway station junction. A study found that two and three-wheelers make up 76% of morning traffic at the busy Ch

10. Case study

11. • While welcoming the ongoing infrastructure work in Vellore City Municipal Corporation limits,
residents are clamouring for more road space and smart ways of tackling traffic issues
• At a recent meeting held by the residents welfare association, members have sought the construction
of a road over bridge (ROB), widening of existing roads, regulation of share autos and ‘strict’ action
against encroachment on arterial roads.
• The National and State Highways department should think for the next 30 years and prepare a
project to address these bottlenecks.
• There has been a demand for modernization of both old and new bus stands inside the city, which till
date remains only on paper.
Demands include construction of over bridge
and widening of existing roads

12. “A smart city should
provide smart way of
transportation. The
arterial roads of Vellore
city are heavily congested
and roads without traffic
bottleneck are a rare
scene.
- STUDENT(SUMITHRA)

13. Chancellor of
Vellore Institute
of Technology
G. Viswanathan
He has urged the Union
Minister for Road Transport and
Highways Nitin Gadkari to
consider construction of a grade
separator at the Katpadi-
Chittoor junction and construct
an road over bridge at the
Katpadi railway station junction
of NH234 (New NH 75)
Mangalore-Villupuram road so
as to ease out traffic in these
junctions.

14. Chancellor of
Vellore Institute
of Technology
G. Viswanathan
In his letter to Mr. Gadkari, Mr.
Viswanathan said that Vellore city
which is the fastest growing city in
Tamil Nadu has been selected for
the Smart City project and work
had already begun. Vellore city is
the heart of the Vellore district
which is the gateway to Tamil
Nadu with neighboring Karnataka
and Andhra Pradesh.

15. • Katpadi railway junction at NH234 is an important one and
a two-lane RoB is located at this junction, Mr. Viswanathan
added. The National Highways road connecting the RoB is
a four-lane one and the State Highways is also of four-lane
capacity making the two-lane RoB a bottleneck. It was a
long-standing demand of the people of Vellore to
construct a four-lane RoB in NH234 instead of the existing
two-lane RoB at Katpadi junction, he said.

16. • Similarly Katpadi-Chittoor bus stand junction at NH234
is a Y-shaped intersection which sees heavy movement
of traffic towards the State highways intersecting with
National Highways. There are several schools, colleges
and residential areas along this road creating traffic jams
and in some cases there have been fatal accidents during
peak hours.
Bus stand junction

18. • According to a study conducted by a
team of the SMBS of VIT University,
Vellore two-wheelers and three-
wheelers shared 76% of the total traffic
during the morning peak hour at the
Chittor Bus stand in Vellore.
• Constant flow of vehicles from
numerous direction has turned the
Green Circle not just a busy junction
but also a dangerous one.
• For pedestrians, crossing this junction is
almost close to impossible.

19. FOR
REVIEW-3
• More work on Y-shaped
intersection road
• Proposed road map for
roads in Vellore
• More reports and case
study
• Processing through the
problems that are faced
and generate the solution
fot it
