Briefly mention the salient features of BRTS of Ahmedabad.

Explain with flow chart various steps involved in Urban Transportation System Planning.

Explain briefly Gravity model with its limitations and advantages for trip distribution analysis. Using a gravity model, with an impedance term of the form C-α, estimate the number of trips from zone – 3 to all other zones. Take α = 1.9.

Justify the necessity of Metro Rail System in the Indian cities.

State the limitations of growth factor methods in trip distribution.

Astudy area has been divided in three zones 1, 2, and 3. The present trip distribution matrix is given with future total trip productions and trip attractions. Develop the future trip distribution matrix using Average growth factor method. Do iterative process up to two stages.

Explain the procedure of conducting ‘Home Interview Survey’ with its format.

Briefly discuss land use-transportation interaction.

Compare “Trip-End Model” with “Trip-Interchange Model”.

Amarket segment consists of 1500 individuals. Amultinomial logit mode choice model is calibrated for this market segment, resulting in the following utility function. u = β – 0.41 C – 0.031 T m where, C = out of-pocket cost (Rs.) and T = travel time (min). Values of β for Bus transit: 0.10, Rail transit: 0.70 and Auto: 2.1. For a particular m O-Dpair, the cost & travel time for these three modes are as follows. Mode Travel Time Cost (Rs.) (min) Bus 30 15.40 Rail 20 18.70 Auto 15 24.40 Predict the number of trips by each mode from this market segment.

Draw the typical diversion curves for the Mode Choice Analysis and give your comments on it.

The design year total person trips distributed between four zones A, B, Cand Dare shown in the table below. The modal split analysis shows 40/60 for private car vs public transport as an overall split. The peak period car occupancy is 2.3 persons per car and 50 persons per bus. Develop the trip matrices for the two modes and for the total vehicular trips. If the goods vehicles constitute at 20% of the person vehicle trips, calculate the total vehicle trips including goods vehicles.

Discuss about necessity and method of conducting Boarding-Alighting of Passenger survey in urban mass transportation system planning.

Differentiate between RP and SP survey in modal split analysis.

The total trip volumes from zone 1 to 2 are 4600. Find the volumes on each route connecting two zones, using the particulars given in table below. Use TRC trip assignment. Route Length Speed (kmph) No. (Km) 1 2.6 30 2 1.8 22 3 1.5 4 3.4

Describe “All-Or-Nothing” trip assignment procedure.

Briefly discuss the importance and applications of TSM techniques. Page 2 of

On an urban corridor, regular bus transit is operated with headway of minutes during peak hour. The reliability of transit arrival at a stop is observed 85%. If the seating capacity of a bus is 52 and load factor 1.3. Calculate vehicle capacity and passenger capacity of transit. If 50% schedule operated during peak hour with double decker bus having seating capacity of 75, and load factor is 1.2. What will be the change in passenger capacity?

Define: Corridor, Zonal centroid, Intrazonal trips.

Describe the general problems in urban goods movement.

Construct a bus route schedule based on the running times given below. Headways are 15 min and minimum layovers are 5 min at each end or 10% of running time (total both layovers), whichever is greater. The first bus from A to Dshould leave at 8:30 am. The schedule should cover the time block from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. Segment A-B B-C C-D D-C C-B B-A Travel 15 10 30 32 14 18 Time (min)

Briefly discuss with sketches bus routing problem.

Briefly explain with sketch “Linear type urban structure”. Suggest suitable mass transport systems for it.

State various measures of increasing the capacity of urban mass transit system. If the corridor is converted into BRT corridor, then the reliability is 0.85. The buses are of articulated with 100 seat capacity and permissible stands are 52%, headway is 8 minutes. Calculate the vehicle capacity and passenger capacity. Page 3 of
