Urban Transport System Planning — Winter 2024

What are the problems in urban transportation in the present scenario of high vehicle ownership?

Explain with flow chart four stages of Travel Demand Modeling.

From the Home interview survey, data given in following table, develop trip generation equation and find R2 value. Vehicle 2 1 3 2 1 3 4 3 2 Ownership Trips/day 6 4 8 4 3 10 12 12 5

Compare in detail LRT with Metro railway system.

Discuss with examples, the importance of Para transit modes.

Astudy area has been divided in four zones 1, 2, 3, 4. the present trip distribution matrix “M” is given with future total trip productions and trip attractions. Develop the future trip distribution matrix using: Average growth factor method. Do iteration process up to 2 stages. O-D Matrix “M”: 1 2 3 4 Total Total future present production production Total 540 580 610 510 2240 - present attraction Total 850 910 970 820 - 3550 future attraction

Develop the future trip distribution from the O-D Matrix “M” given in Q. 2(c), using Detroit method. Do iteration process up to 2 stages.

Show the following in a sketch of study area and zones. (i) Cordon line, (ii) Centroid of zone, (iii) Intra-zonal and Inter-zonal trips.

Discuss with examples, the intra-carrier coordination in transportation. Page 1 of

Using gravity model find the no. of trips between zones, as per following data. Do iterations up to 2 stages. Assume initially Kij = 1 & α = 2.0. Calibrate the value of α. Trips between No. of trips Travel time in zones Minute 1 to 3 450 1 to 4 350 2 to 3 250 2 to 4 550

Define: Land use planning, Basic employment, Service employment.

Discuss with sketch about “Diversion curves” for modal split analysis.

Find the trip interchange for the given data using Intervening Opportunity Model. Take l (zone factor) = 0.0005 for all zones. Zone 1 2 Trip Produced 1000 1500 1800 Trip attracted 2000 1800 2200 The order of closeness D 1 2 O

What are the factors affecting to mode choice of an individual?

Differentiate between MNL and NL models for mode choice analysis.

Three zones A, Band Care connected by two lane roads as shown in figure below. The probability of choosing the car mode (P ) is found to be given by c P = 1 / (1+e-u(x)). Where, u(x) = 0.70-0.04(tt – tt ) c car bus Att = 15 min Btt = 10 min C car car tt = 18 min tt = 12 min bus bus The total trip exchanges between zones are as follows. Determine the two-way volume in cars per day on the roads AB and BC, if the average car occupancy is 2.3. From To Person trips per day A B 1200 B A 800 A C 900 C A 1600 B C 1000 C B 700

What are the major aims and applications of ‘Traffic Assignment’?

Briefly describe “All-Or-Nothing” and “TRC” trip assignment models. Page 2 of

The total trip volumes from zone 1 to 2 are 4500. Find the volumes on each route connecting two zones, using the particulars given in table below. Use TRC trip assignment. Route No. Length (Km) Speed (kmph) 1 2.4 30 2 1.5 3 1.2 4 3.2 32

What is scheduling problem in transit?

Discuss about Routing Problem in transit operations.

Describe ‘Transportation System Management (TSM)’ planning, its objectives and various actions.

Define: Corridor, Screen line, Load factor.

Discuss the measures to increase the capacity of existing urban mass transit system.

Describe with sketch “Urban Goods Movement”, its impact on urban traffic and remedial measures. Page 3 of
