4. Urban Mass Transportation
Urbanization + Transport = Urban Mass Transportation
Cities (Urban Areas) play a vital role in promoting
economic growth and prosperity of a nation.
 The development of cities largely depends upon their physical,
social, and institutional infrastructure. Transport demand in
most Indian cities has increased substantially, due to increases
in population as a result of both natural increase and migration
from rural areas and smaller towns.

To solve the traffic congestion problem, the best method is encourage the use of
public transport or mass transport.
Travel Options???

10. Share of Public Transport

11. Planning Approach….Reversal Needed….

12. Concept of travel demand
 Travel demand :- it refers to the amount and type of
travel people would choose under specific
conditions. considering factors such as the quality of
transport option available and their prices.
 Hidden demand:- it refers to decisions related to
creation and management of transportation and
traffic facilities.

13. Transportation demand :-It is concentrated at
specific times that are related to the current activity
pattern of the society for example social and
recreational trips. also in such type of demand
forecasts will be poor.

14. Major Aspects in travel demand
Land use :- It refers to pattern of land usage in
an area. Land use affects the transportation
demand through generation and distribution of
trips.
Trip purpose:- It refers to purpose for which
the trip is being undertaken. A trip is a
movement from origin to destination, the
distance between origin and destination is
called trip length. and the time taken is known
as trip time.

15. Factors affecting travel demand
 Socio-economic factors
 Location factors
 Public transport accessibility factors

16. Socio-economic factors :
Household income
Occupation status
Family size and composition of household
Cultural aspects
Number of cars per household

17. Location factors
Population
Residential density
Distance of household from town center( central
business district)

18.  Public transport accessibility factors
Nearness of public transport facility
Efficiency and reliability of public transport
Fare structure, routing etc.
 Factors affecting choice of travel mode
 Purpose of trip
 Distance traveled
 Income of traveler
 Occupational status of the traveler

19. Sequential and simultaneous models
 It consists of four descriptors.
Trip frequency
Destination
Mode
Route and other choice

21. Aggregate and disaggregate approaches
 Aggregate approach:- This develops relationship
between trip production and attraction with appropriate
independent variable, at zone level, using regression analysis. It
refers to grouped data & pattern but may vary from zone to
zone.(simultaneous models)
 Disaggregate approach :- This is based on
development of equations describing independent variable on the
trip making as a basic unit. Data required is based on household
characteristics.(sequential models)

22. Urban mass transit system
It is based on two types and they are as follows :-
1. Road based transit
2. Rail based transit

23. Road base transit involves
 Buses and coach
 City buses / commuter buses
 BRTS

24. Rail based transit
 Trains
 Commuter rails & suburban rails
 Metro trains
 Mono rail
 Light rail transit system
 Sky rail

25. Metro Train
• Rapid Rail Transit
• Very High Capacity
• Low Air Pollution
• High Noise Pollution
• 25 to 60 kmph
• High Cost
Mumbai Metro Train Ride

26. Mono Rail
 It comprises of a single rail track with vehicle
suspended from or straddling the guide way

Ausralia
World’s Longest Straddle-

27. Light Rail Transit System
 Lighter vehicles & lighter track
 Exclusive ROW ,Underground or on embankments
Vancouver
city Columbia, Canada.
Jakarta Light Rail
Transit,Indonesia
LRT in Surrey, south east of England

28. Sky Rail
 It is modified version of LRT automatic.
 Chances of accidents are reduced due to complete
automation.
 Capital cost is high

29. Advantages of mass transit system
 Environmental impacts
 Social impacts
 Fuel saving
 Economic impacts
 Freight impacts
 Reduces congestion
 Save time
 Cost effective
Sustainable
Social

35. Opportunities in Mass transit system
Public Awareness
……….Changing people’s
choice of travel from
private vehicles to public
transport……??????

36. Opportunities in Mass transit system
 Its setup is incredible expensive
 Possibility of attacked or being robbed
 Malfunctioning of equipment as well as service
disruptions caused due to labor strikes
 Passengers may be attacked by infectious diseases
 Late night safety is not assured
 Accident may cause large casualties
 Change in time of certain buses may cause
inconvenience to passengers
