It then lists some of the main causes of traffic jams in Dhaka such as insufficient roads, poor traffic administration, wrong parking, unfit vehicles, and indifference of people. Potential solutions discussed include infrastructure development, express highways, more public transportation, and citizens being more conscious of their driving habits.
Pune's traffic problems have increased dramatically as the city's road network has grown only 6 times while traffic has increased 105 times since 1960. Insufficient roads, poor traffic management, and inefficient public transportation have led to severe traffic issues. While cycle tracks and buses aim to help, Pune's public transportation system, PMPML, is overburdened and underperforming. There is an urgent need for mass rapid transit systems like metro and BRTS projects to provide reliable, comfortable, and affordable alternatives to private vehicles and address the city's commuting woes.
The document discusses personal rapid transit systems (PRT), which use small automated electric pod cars to provide point-to-point public transportation. PRT systems allow non-stop travel between origin and destination stations on a network of narrow guideways. Existing PRT systems provide on-demand, congestion-free service 24/7 at airports and universities. Upcoming PRT projects are planned in India, South Korea, and other countries to help address increasing transportation demands and limited land/fuel resources.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Delay for work
Inability to estimate travel times or in a word, we can refer it ‘Just In Case’ time
Increase of fuel consumption and pollution
Create road rage
Unable to respond the emergency vehicles in time
Affect on health adversely
Reduce social activities of individuals and the effect on family lives.

MODIFYING AND RE-ARRANGING THE EXISTING PROCESS
Objectivesofourproposal
Modifying U-turn system
Reduction of small vehicles
Rescheduling office and institution time
Increasing the use of double decker
Strict traffic law implementation
13. 13
ModifyingU-turnsystemofDhakacity
We want to introduce cross U-turn system instead of existing U-turn system. The benefits we can
get are-
the reduction of the cost for implementing flyovers
the reduction of the cost for colour lights
the controlling capacity of the traffic having with only two tracks
the elimination of the ‘One Way’ system, avoiding disturbance and difficulties
the ability to move more vehicle around the area
THIS SYSTEM CAN BE IMPLEMENTED BY CREATING A HUB BETWEEN THE EXISTING U-TURN
15. 15
Reductionofsmallvehicles
Here the small vehicles means private cars, motor cycles, rickshaws etc. In exhibit 01 from given
information, we see private cars (25%) are used almost at the same percentage of public transport
(30%). Also the amount of taxi and motor cycles are high which are 15% and 17% respectively.
The advantages of reducing these vehicles are-
getting more spaces for other transport
increasing physical activity through more walking and cycling
less use of pavement for parking these vehicles
16. 16
OUR GOAL CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH- IMPOSING MORE TAX ON THESE SMALL VEHICLES
INCREASING PRICE
GETTING HABITUATE OF SHARING WITH UNKNOWNS

Reschedulingofficeandinstitutiontime
In Dhaka city, the peak hours for offices and other institutions are almost at a same time. We can
reschedule this time as tabled below.
Institutions Start Time End Time
Offices 7.30 AM 2.30 PM
Educational Institutes 8 AM 4.30 PM
Banks 9 AM 4 PM

Stricttrafficlawimplementation
The corrupted system of our country is one of the obstacles for achieving any success. If we can
ensure strict traffic law, we can-
stop violation of rules of drivers
be able to carry out a systematic traffic signal system
This can be obtained by-
creating awareness among traffic police as well as the other associates
preventing from taking bribes
implementing strict action for breaking the rules
21. 21
Separatelanes
Different lanes can make space separately for different types of vehicles. Proper law i.e. financial
penalty should be imposed to make the drivers maintain the lane.
SEPARATE LANES CAN BE CREATED BY MARKING ON THE ROADS
Figure 11: Marking separate lanes
22. 22
RestrictingroutesforRickshaw
Rickshaws should not be allowed in all the routes of the city.
BRTA should take some responsibility to control the increasing number of rickshaws by
imposing registration fee and legal documentation.
Figure 12: Increasing traffic distress
23. 23
RoadWidening
Road widening is often advocated as ways to reduce traffic congestion. Roads of the city are
narrow in different places, there are several reasons like Hawkers on the footpath and some
portion of the road (scenario is regular in New Market area) and illegal possession on the road or
illegal structures.

AlternativeTransport
As traffic jam is occurred in roadways, there is need for alternative transports. Specially for
travelling to the distant places, they can be helpful to lessen the load on roadways. For this
purpose railways, inland waterways etc. can be used.
The use of alternative transport can be increased by-
reducing the fair of those transports
ensuring safety during travelling
27. 27
Shorttermbasis
We want the implementation on short term basis. According to experts, short term means within 5
years. Our proposed solution can be achieved less than 5 years if proper observation can be
ensured. The proposed way for achieving short term accomplishment is showed below.
