Urban Transport System Planning — Winter 2022

Describe the main features of Metro Railway.

Discuss various problems in Urban Transport System Planning Process.

From the data given in following table, develop trip generation equations for each independent variable separately and find R2 values. Show which of the two models is more reliable and why? No. of persons Trips per Vehicle in household day ownership382

Differentiate between ‘Carpooling’ and ‘Vanpooling’.

Discuss: How will you achieve the coordination for the intra-carrier transport modes?

Astudy area has been divided in four zones 1, 2, 3, 4. the present trip distribution matrix is given with future total trip productions and trip attractions. Develop the future trip distribution matrix using Furness method. Do iterative process up to convergence of +/- 5% of future trips. 1 2 3 4 Total Total future O - Dpresent production production Total 650 560 850 700 2760 - present attraction Total 1350 1280 1720 1330 - 5680 future attraction Page 1 of

Solve above example of Q. 2 (c) by Fratar method. Do iteration process up to 1 stage.

What is “Land Use Planning”?

Explain with flow chart ‘Lowry’s Derivative Model’.

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 Zone Travel time to zone-3 (min) production Attractions 3 - 30000 18000

Draw the typical sketch of Diversion curves for modal split analysis.

Explain the ‘Home Interview Survey’ with its format.

Amarket segment consists of 1000 individuals. Amultinomial logit mode choice model is calibrated for this market segment, resulting in the following utility function. u = β – 0.40 C – 0.03 T m where, C = out of-pocket cost (Rs.) and T = travel time (min). Values of β for Bus transit: 0.2, Rail transit: 0.6 and Auto: 2.00. For a particular O- m Dpair, the cost & travel time for these three modes are as follows. Mode Travel Time (min) Cost (Rs.) Bus 30 8.80 Rail 20 5.50 Auto 15 14.50 Predict the number of trips by each mode from this market segment.

What is “All-Or-Nothing” assignment?

Discuss about Boarding-Alighting survey in transit operation.

The total trip volumes from zone 1 to 2 are 4200. Find the volumes on each route connecting two zones, using the particulars given in table below. Use TRC trip assignment. RouteNo. Length Speed (kmph) (Km) 1 2.4 32 2 1.5 22 3 1.2 4 3.2

What do you mean by ‘TSM Techniques’?

Discuss the scheduling problem in transit. How will you obtain the efficient schedule of transit?

Explain with sketches (i) Rectangular, (ii) Concentric and radial street systems. State their advantages and limitations. Which transit systems will be suitable for them

What are the general problems in Urban Goods Movement?

Define: Corridor, Segment capacity, Screen line, Freeway.

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 Page 2 of observed 80%. If the seating capacity of a bus is 52 and load factor 1.4. 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 1.3. What will be the change in passenger capacity?

What is transit routing?

Briefly explain the “Transit System Efficiency Indicators”.

If the corridor is converted into BRT corridor, then the reliability is 0.9. The buses are of articulated with 100 seat capacity and permissible stands are 50%, headway is 10 minutes. Calculate the vehicle capacity and passenger capacity. Page 3 of
