1 Introductiontotheproblem:
In my thesis work there are two sites has been taken. In these two given sites the first one would be my pilot study and it is the road patch between Board Offices rotary to Gupt Dev rotary. And my case study would be another site and it is Gammon India site in South T.T Nagar. The whole transportation study would be based on lanuse aspect. Transportation problems due to sudden change of landuse characteristics will be the main focus point. On the basis of inferences (pilot study) the final proposals for case study (Gammon site) would be declared. The main objective is to develop an efficient transportation network in such a manner that in future problems can be minimized and traffic flow would be in appropriate manner.
2 Synopsis:
2.1 Title of the project:Transportation planning for new commercial areas of Bhopal (A case of Bhopal CBD)
2.2 Motive to take the project:Bhopal the lake capital city of Madhya Pradesh continuously losing its grace and beauty under the growing pressure of up gradation and densification activities. Increased population growth rate of 36.64% per decade changing the land use of the city rapidly and direct effect can be seen on the whole transportation network of the city. It is important to understand these interrelated issues and planning decisions can be coordinated accordingly to have efficient transportation. Land use patterns affect accessibility, which refers to peoples general ability to reach desired goods, services and activities, and therefore affects mobility, volume and character of traffic.
2.3 Introduction:There are some case studies of Bhopal transportation network which shows various problems related to transportation. A report of Lea-Associates says that the transportation system is not efficient and some serious changes are required in whole transportation network of Bhopal. The problems are numerous and some are presented below; Lack of integration between land use and transportation. High growth rate of vehicles. No organized parking space Lack of street furniture
2.4
Background:-
Bhopal is the second largest city in the state in the Madhya Pradesh. The city, with time has been transforming to multi- functional regional growth centre. Being one of the nerve centers of sociopolitical and economic activities the primacy of city in the state shall remain forever. The government of India, Ministry of urban development and poverty alleviation in its report of national commission on urbanization has classified Bhopal, rightly so, as a national priority city. Bhopal like other cities facing the increased population pressure on resources and infrastructural systems. Due to increase in population and increase in per capita income of Bhopal citizen, traffic on roads are continuously growing. Some new landuse changes like D.B city and proposed Gammon site in new market may be the basic cause of direct effect on transportation due to change landuse.
2.5 Need:There are various problems related to transportation in Bhopal urban area. The core Bhopal city is facing a crucial situation in transportation and circumstances are not good. Transit oriented development and its directed effect on transportation can be easily seen and its adverse effect creating problem for the whole transportation system. Lack of parking and pedestrian encroachment on road are other defined problems for the transportation so there is a requirement of revised study of landuse and transportation study for Bhopal urban area.
2.6 Aim:To evaluate the present situation in context of transportation network and landuse system with appropriate proposal for effective and efficient working system.
2.7 Objective:The major objectives of study are:To evolve transportation system for selected area of Bhopal. (Given its physical environmental and socioeconomic constraints.) Change in traffic volume and character due to landuse changes with its positive and negative aspects. To develop a efficient transportation network in such a manner that in future problems can be minimized and traffic flow would be in appropriate manner.
2.8 Expected outcome:A specified proper pattern and direction of network may be come as an outcome. A working transportation model for both long term and short term aspect for site is an expected outcome. 5
2.9 Scope:Study of existing landuse pattern of some selected pockets of Bhopal urban area like D.B Mall and New Market Gammon proposed site to identify the problems related to transportation and landuse. It is a relative study of lanuse and transportation of two areas which quite similar in its landuse characteristics. D.B Mall would be a pilot study and Gammon site will be a case study. The case study will include all aspects of transportation like traffic volume, road geometry, fuel conservation and related environmental issues.
2.10 Limitations:Lack of man power is a basic factor so only some basic possible primary surveys will be conducted. The entire work has to do individually and there are so many surveys have to complete. Time is another factor and the study has to be complete within a limited time period.

3 Relevance:
3.1 The Land Use - Transportation Cycle: How we use our land (i.e., for agriculture, residential, commercial, industrial development) impacts our transportation facilities, modes of travel (i.e., cars, buses, bicycles or walking), services and vice versa. This land use-transportation relationship or cycle is illustrated by describing what commonly occurs when a road is built or improved. Land along the road becomes more accessible. This increased accessibility makes the land more valuable and attractive to developers. As land along the road is developed, traffic volumes and the number of driveways increase. This results in more congestion and a deterioration of the road's capacity to efficiently move people and goods. The reduced efficiency of the road eventually necessitates roadway capacity improvements that may encourage additional development and the start of a new cycle. Growth point of the city always suffers from the problem of overcrowding and congestion due to natural growth for example Bhopal core city area. It does not just affects the nearby areas but also affect the whole transport network. Travel impacts vary much depending on the type of trip and traveler. For example, increasing mix land use and walk ability tends to be particularly effective at reducing automobile travel for shopping and recreational activities, while increasing regional accessibility and improved transit accessibility tend to reduce automobile commute trips. This study of land use and transportation will not just going to reduce the traffic load from a particular place as well as it also define the profound relationship between land use and transportation of the city which will provide a guide line for decision making in physical planning.

Vehicular ownership levels in the future based on the existing growth rates are projected to forecast the modal split of private modes. The vehicular growth trend in Bhopal district from 1994 to 1999 has been given in Table-2. The car and two wheeler ownership revels have been increasing around 7-10 % per annum. It is assumed that the growth of cars will be at an average of 8% per annum over the projected period while that of two wheelers will decline marginally.

6.7 Comparison between daily traffic composition of 2009 and 2011 at D.B Mall
If we talk about the daily traffic composition of both years 2009 and 2011 at D.B mall then it is absolutely clear that more than 90% traffic mode is either two wheeler or four wheeler. According to LEE Associates report about 43% people use mini-buses for the shopping purpose but this data is for whole city and this place having different characteristics where more than 90% people use their own private vehicle for shopping purpose. It is the main central characteristic of CBD.

6.8 Parking on front of db mall: There is a legal authorized parking available in D.B mall basement but despite of every facility people park his vehicle (especially twowheeler) on front of D.B mall in open space. There are some specific reasons observed behind it as follows. Time consuming parking in basement of D.B mall. It takes 3 to 5 minutes in parking. In case of technical fault it takes 5 to 7 minutes. More parking fare in D.B mall. It is Rs. 5/- per two-wheeler and Rs. 10/- to Rs. 100/- for four-wheelers according to time. For incoming traffic from Gupt Dev rotary to Board office Rotary a far distance has to cover for the parking of D.B mall. It is a big problem because it creates a lot of problems and mismanagement on roads. On front of D.B mall there are so many commercial buildings and this parking place has been provided for them. But these commercial shops continuously losing their income and facing parking congestion on front of their shops. This is also not good for the venders in this locality and they are also losing their business.
20
6.9 Direct entry and exit to the D.B mall from the road:The entry and exit point of D.B mall is direct from the main road and it is a big reason of traffic congestion on the road. The frequency of traffic at exit point is 4 vehicles per minute and they always take a right turn from the rotary and it is a big confliction point in the road which delays the traffic for one or two minutes

In both h cases num mber of veh hicles on roa ad is dense. These are the t analysis s of traffi fic before th he construct tion of Gam mmon site. After the construction c n of Gammo on Site it is s very ob bvious that traffic t woul ld increase drastically and it woul ld also incre ease the tra affic volume e and par rking deman nd.

6.11 Road R Sectio on at Gam mmon Site: In the given g plan r road section n XY at Tea an Shed has s been show wn in the fo ollowing fig gure and we e can see e the lack o of vegetatio on in the given section n. This plac ce is not to otally comm mercial, it is s surroun nded by com mmercial an nd mix landu use so here vegetation is required. Condition of footpath h is also not n good an nd it is a nec cessary part for transpo ortation plan nning.

This road contains s thick vege etation and there is no requiremen nt of big ch hange in thi is road. But t oot path is not in good d condition on this roa ad. This roa ad contains a huge traf ffic volume e again fo amount t and an exte ernal factor r for that is adjacent a pet trol-pump.

On these two places a multi level parking has been proposed in master plan Bhopal. In New Market, proposed parking place is very close to main commercial area and it is easy to park and take a walk for market place but circumstances are not similar in case of near D.B mall. Here proposed parking is so far from the main commercial market area and there is no facility for pedestrian walking on roads. So here feasibility chances is very low and may be this parking area would be unused in future. So only facility of parking is not a solution but the place of parking is also an important factor in commercial CBD.

Prop oposal shield parking:p Shie eld parking is s a very good short s term pro oposal for par rking manage ement. It is jus st a psycholog gical effect to the vehicle owner r to divert traf ffic from this place p to the co orrect place of parking.
7.2, Prese ent and propos sed section for shield parking g
In the given g sectio on AB, locat tion of shie eld parking has been sh hown. It is a very good d short term m proposa al and definitely, parkin ng from this s place wou uld decrease e.

In figure 3.3 it can be e easily seen n exit of D.B that the ere is no div vider from Gupt Dev rotary to ex xit point of f D.B mall. Due to ava ailability of f puncher r on road a at the exit point p of the D.B mall r riders take a right turn n from their r instead of f going straight s from m Vyapam m Rotary an nd it stops the traffic flow of m main road for f a while.

For such ki ind of probl lems we can n propose so ome change es in road ge eometry to r reduce the traffic t cong gestion on the road d. Problems have been generated by b the riders s due to the eir inappropr riate behavi ior on road and it can be solv ved. The w whole patch should be puncher fre ee and a sin ngle puncher should be b given ne ear the entry of the e D.B city w which is giv ven in figure e 3.4. In this s condition people have to acquire e the straigh ht path to Gupt Dev v rotary at the t time of exit.
There is no o confliction n point in th he proposed d road geom metry for the e whole patc ch of the road. For Linc Road No 1 riders s can take a left turn fr rom Gupt de ev rotary an nd that road d will merge e to the Lin nc Road at Vypam V Rotary. Thi is road geo ometry will be also ben neficial for the incomi ing traffic f from Gupt Dev D rotary to D.B mall. In the e existing road r geometry they ha ad to travel up to Boar rd office rot tary and then they too ok a UTurn for D.B mall par rking. It was s a long dis stance they had to trave el and thats why they park their vehicle v o escape fro om these bot theration. on front of D.B mall to

In the analysis part for pedestrian crossway it was explained that both of the locations required a special pedestrian crossway. It is the standard graph which was given by C. Alexander. It was explained in previous chapter. At the site of D.B mall number of vehicles per hour is around 304.
At the front of D.B mall pedestrian movement is very high and for the future aspect it is necessary that we should plan a pedestrian friendly transportation network for all CBD. So it is important to provide a pedestrian foot over bridge at front of D.B mall for road crossing. Pedestrian on road is also a cause of traffic congestion. It is the best way to protect pedestrian from overwhelming traffic.

7.4 7 An impro oved pedestria an friendly cross-section for the road of D. B. mall: -
According to Maslow safety is the 2nd most impo ortant requireme ent for human after Food and s shelter. Pedestrians do o not want to tra avel on the present uns safe road due to fear of accident and comfort levels on n roads are for pedestri ian also not good d.
7.6, 7 Distance of propo osed parking from th he main market near D.B mall
n the given figu ure 3.6 proposed parking at Bhop pal Haat is 200 meters m away fro om the main mar rket of this area and present road condition is no ot In as a good that peop ple walk from th hat point to the main m market on road r and in that situation this pa arking area would be unused in f future so it is ver ry im mportant that th he pedestrian pa athway on road should improve ed in such a ma anner that pedes strian wants to walk w on that wi ithout any fear of o tr raffic. Along the e road a raised pedestrian footpa ath should be pro ovided in both si ides of the road. 30
Transportation T p planning for new w commercial are eas of Bhopal An A improved pe edestrian friendly y cross-section for f the roads of New N Market: Pr roposed Gammon India site is surrounded by mix lan nduse and its ch haracteristics is quite q different fr rom D.B m site. Here thi mall is site entirely su urrounded by residential an nd commercial landuse both. So o this site requir red some different aspect for transportati ion planning. H Here on ro oads, a level of vegetation is ne ecessary and for r this an in ntegrated environ nmental transpo ort planning is r required. Af fter the constru uction of Gamm mon Site in So outh T.T Na agar this place would w be a main n node of the city and it wi ill affect the wh hole New Marke et area. In the main New M Market area th here are huge e venders and d small sh hopkeepers involved in their bu usiness. Direct a affect of th his construction would w be on the business of ven nders and sm mall shopkeepers. This place will w suffer with t the same pr roblem of Bittan n Market after the emergence of D.B M Mall. For the development of o venders and d small sh hopkeepers the only solution is i to improve t the road se ection and make e it pedestrian fr riendly because venders ar re entirely depen ndent on movin ng pedestrian cro owed on ro oad. The proposed roads shou uld be comfortable for pe edestrian and for this vegetation n is necessary o on roads. Ve egetation is not just good for pedestrian p comfo ort but it also improve the environmental quality of road ds. Link ro oad is the live example in Bhopal.

According to C. Alexender A fo residenti for ial area urb ban roads sh hould be gr reen. It prot tects the househo old from no oise and po ollution. For good and d healthy en nvironment this is a im mportant step for r future.
7.5 Looping L of f the intern nal roads to t avoid di irect entry y and exit: :
Looping g of the internal roads is a good strategy y of traff ffic manage ement. At A Gammo on India site s there are a so man ny local roads r are available for f looping g but they ar re not in goo od conditio on. Rather than t divertin ng the who ole traffic load l on ma ain road it is i good to divert d them in differen nt local inte ernal roads by b looping g. So the en ntry and ex xit of Gam mmon site should s not be direct on o main road d instead of f it should be from back sid de. Looping g of the internal roads is not ju ust good for speci ial commer rcial structu ure but it al lso good for nearby y residenti ial areas.

7.6 P Proposal of f subway or o over bridge for in ncoming and outgoin ng traffic at h heavy comm mercial str ructural: For a special s com mmercial stru ucture like D.B mall and Gamm mon India a design of subway/ over bri idge should d be compul lsory for ex xit and entry y of the veh hicle from th he other sid de of the road. Fo or such a big b construc ction subwa ay/ over brid dge is not a very expe ensive propo osal and 50% co ost of the construction should s be pa aid by owne er of the com mmercial st tructure.
In the given g figur re 8.8 of ro oad geometr ry there is no conflict tion point o on the road d due to incomin ng traffic fr rom the othe er side of th he road and d they can ex xit also wit thout any di ifficulty. Constru uction of th he proposed d subway/ over bridge e will be according a to o feasibility y of the structur re at the site e. If site is feasible f for the constru uction of sub bway then i it is good ot therwise over br ridge is a go ood option. . Proposed subway/ ov ver bridge should s also be integrat ted with pedestri ian path wa ay. There sh hould be a footpath f alo ong the subw way/ over b bridge so th hat it can tackle problems, p p pedestrian a vehicle and e. If pedestr rian movem ment would d be happen n in this subway y then, this area a can be e used for venders and small shopkeepers. It will be a go ood step to enco ourage the business b of venders an nd small shopkeepers in i main CB BD. In case e of D.B mall wh here structu ure has been n already fin nished it is difficult to execute su uch proposals but in case of f Gammon India I South T.T Nagar where construction is under proc cess it can be b easily implem mented.
7.7 Pick P and dr rop for po oint such heavy h struc ctures: There should be a pick p and dr rop point on n front of su uch heavy co ommercial s structure. In n case of D.B ma all people park p his veh hicle on the road for picking & dro opping purp pose. This is i a very short tim me parking g but it affe ect the whol le flowing traffic. t In th he given fig gure 7.10 it can be
33
Transpo ortation pla anning for new n commer rcial areas of o Bhopal seen tha at people di irect park th heir vehicle e on the stre eet due to lack of pick k and drop point. p In the inne er
corridor r they use as a a parking g space for the t office worker w of D. B mall bu ut they have e already provide ed a parking g in the basement so th his parking space is un nnecessary. They can use u it for the pick k and drop point. p There e should be a un obstru ucted road should s be av vailable at the t front of such heavy struc ctures.
7.8 Policy P base ed proposa als: 7.8.1 Free parkin ng at privat te commerc cial complex xes and pai id at public place: Parking g at private commercial c l complexes s should be free becaus se at the tim me of constru uction it was me entioned in its approva al that they have h to pro ovide a thres shold parkin ng space fo or such a big com mmercial str ructure. At present par rking space of these co ommercial structures has h been commer rcialized fo or profit bu ut due to co ommercializ zation of su uch parking g spaces, th he other public parking p spa aces sufferi ing from th he problem of overcro owding and d high park king fare charges s. For exam mple on fron nt of D. B mall m the park king fare ware w Rs. 2/- per vehicle e for two wheeler rs but now it i is Rs. 5/- per vehicle. So in case e of Gammo on site parki ing should be b free.

7.8.2 Create an environment that provides a unique pedestrian friendly district: Small shopkeepers and venders are directly depends upon the pedestrian movement of the area. Actually they are directly interlinked with middle class income group. But due to emergence of new commercial structure in these small developed areas they are continuously losing their business as well as costumers. Due to glamorous identity, brand and quality assurance, availability of the multi-products under one roof, customers prefer the mall like structures first. At present the quality of the road infrastructure and facility for pedestrian movement is not in good condition. This is the main cause that people do not want to walk at all on roads. To encourage the pedestrian movement a designed pedestrian pathway on roads is necessary. With the specified pedestrian pathway an integrated environment planning is also required to provide comfort on the pedestrian pathway. It is necessary to make a live pedestrian movement on roads.
Encourage the compatibility between the central business district and the surrounding residential and commercial neighborhood: Due to emergence of new commercial area in main CBD there are so many things begins to change but the nearby commercial and residential area affected more. In case of Bittan Market in Bhopal it is the live example of deterioration of business. Before the construction of D. B mall Bittan circle was one of the main nodes of the city but at present it is deserted. For Bittan Market renovation of this site has been proposed but it is too late and it will take a long time span. These proposals should be come in mind of planners at the time of emergence of such big commercial structure. So an impact analysis of such big commercial area is required. In case of Gammon site a proposal of the renovation of new market should be given. It is required to maintain the balance between main CBD and surrounding structures.
7.8.3
7.8.4
Cycle track along the road having high demand from non motorized transport mode: It is a long term proposal for urban roads. In future non motorized vehicle would be in high demand because of climatic and environmental condition of the city. According to the upcoming situation of the city, environment is the main factor of concern and it is important to encourage the non motorized vehicle. CBD act always as a main node of the city so it would better to encourage the non-motorized vehicle near the CBD area.

8 Annexture:
8.1 The central business district (C.B.D.) has the following characteristics Has the departmental shops, large offices, main railway and bus stations, many churches, pubs, clubs and cinemas and the town hall The main roads head into the C.B.D. The value of the land is greatest here Due to the high cost of the land buildings are built upwards C.B.D.s suffer from the worst traffic congestion It is often the oldest part of the city It may have a grid-iron street pattern, that is parallel straight roads and other roads running at right angles
