Transit Oriented Development and Its Impact on Level of Service of Roads & METRO: A Case Study of Mumbai Metro Line-I

 

The study proposes a method to evaluate the proposed transit-oriented development (TOD) impacts of the new METRO rail project. This methodology examines the applicability of TOD principles in the rapidly developing metropolis of Mumbai, India, using vertical development. The methodology focuses on predicting people’s mode choice behavior before implementing the proposed TOD. In addition, the indirect effects of TOD, such as economic profitability, fuel consumption and reduction of driving time for the planned year 2036, are evaluated. The results of this study show that TOD can be an effective tool to achieve sustainable development in congested metropolitan areas in developing countries, because while the density in the traffic effective area (TIA) increases, road congestion does not..

 

Metro Rail Projects In India: A Study In Project Planning

 

This chapter deals with the development of the metro system in Mumbai. It talks about the various stages of a project from proposal to execution. A project is properly planned if first a general plan is drawn up and then the stages are prioritized. The need for the project is very clear and the investment decision was made based on a proper assessment of the resource scenario. The step-by-step project planning process was closely monitored for identification and project decision-making. While metro projects in other cities like Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai were taken up through direct government initiatives and project funding depended on government initiatives, Mumbai was always considered to have high ridership potential in this mega city. would naturally justify participation of the private sector.

 

 

  • Data collection: For above all problem, we have gathered data from 100 students studying in Kohinoor Business School who travel daily via public transport using google forms. The questionnaire was prepared on the basis of likert scale. Through this questionnaire Mean, Standard Deviation, Standard Error and t-stat was calculated, the result interpreted are as follows.
  • Data analysis:

 

I get stuck in traffic daily

My daily travelling time increased by one hour

I get mentally irritated

Walking space is occupied by construction equipments

My travelling cost has increased

Q1 – The t-stat (z) value which comes to 5.41 that means people are really getting stuck in traffic daily.

Q2 – The t-stat (z) value is 0.93 shows that people are neutral on increase in travelling time by 1 hour.

Q3 – The t-stat (z) value which is 5.26 meaning people definitely gets mentally irritated.

Q4 – The t-stat (z) value 7.89 indicates that people agree that walking space is occupied by construction equipments.

Q5 – The t-stat (z) value 3.77 shows that people agree to increase in their travelling cost.

 

3 mantras

  1. At 95% confidence level if t-stat value is more than 1.96 accept positively.
  2. If t-stat value is between -1.96 and 1.96 accept neutral
  3. If t-stat value is less than -1.96 accept negatively.
  • Conclusion: 1. Student’s get stuck in traffic daily
  1. student’s daily travelling time may or may not be increased by one hour   
  2. student’s get mentally irritated
  3. student’s feel that walking space is occupied by construction equipments      
  4. student’s travelling cost has increased
