7.1 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Connectivity of the airport to its catchment districts is necessary prerequisite for the seamless movement of the traffic at the airport. Airport development at Jewar is expected to contribute significantly to the road traffic on the roads connecting airport’s hinterland to the airport. Based on the estimated passenger traffic at the Jewar International Airport a detailed analysis has been carried out to estimate the traffic flow on the roads connecting airport to its catchment districts. Entire hinterland of the airport, consisting of more than 40 districts, broadly in 6 states of , , Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Punjab have been divided into the radial zones based on their directional location from the location of the airport. Districts has been clustered into the serval zones based on which the connectivity assessment and PCU (Passenger Car Units) traffic -peak hour traffic, average daily traffic and annual traffic-has been carried out. For estimating the passenger car units the PCU occupancy has been considered as 1.25 and 1.15 for the domestic and international passenger respectively. Radial clustering of the catchment districts of the for the traffic movement on the roads connecting airport to the hinterland districts:  North Zone: Sahranpur, Muzaffarnagar, , , , Gautam Buddh Nagar, Haridwar, Karnal  North East Zone: Amroha, Bijnor  East Zone: Bulandshahar, Rampur, Moradabad, Baduan and Bareilley  South East: , Kanshiram Nagar, Etah and Hathras  South Zone: Mahura, and Bharatpur  South West: Mewat and Alwar  West Zone: Mahindergarh, Rawari, , , Jhunjhunu and Sikar  North West Zone: Kaithal, Jind, Hisar, Bhiwani, Rohtak, Panipat, Sonipat, Jhajjar, NCT of Delhi and extended regions of Punjab

Based on the PCU traffic analysis it is expected that the total annual two way PCU on the Expressway is expected to be 4.06 million, 30.59 million and 73.50 million in year 2022-23, 2035-36 and 2048-49 respectively as elucidate in the below table.

On the basis of the peak hour passenger traffic at the Jewar airport the peak hour traffic (PCU) contribution on the roads connecting airport and the hinterland districts is expected to be 882, 5728 and 11041 in the year 2022- 23, 2035-36 and 2045-46 respectively as shown in the below table.

Based on the cargo traffic projections at the Jewar airport, truck movement analysis in the vicinity of the airport carrying inbound and outbound cargo to/from the hinterland has been carried out. Standard truck for the analysis is taken as Type-2 truck 1(as shown in the figure below) having the maximum gross capacity of 16.2 MT. Annual truck movement is expected to be 32.4 thousand, 108.3 thousands and 216.2 thousands in the year 2022-23, 2035-36 and 2048-49 respectively. Similarly, average daily truck movement is expected to be 89, 212, 397 and 592 in the year 2022-23, 2030-32, 2040-41 and 2048-49 respectively.

Last mile major road connectivity to/from all the catchment districts of the Jewar Airport is expected to be catered by Yamua Expressway (two way traffic from the northwards or southwards from the Jewar of airport) based on the radial zone in which the catchment district is located. Yamuna expressway will receive traffic from the catchment districts from the roads connecting the catchment districts to the Yamuna Expressway. Eastern Peripheral Expressway, Yamuna expressway and - are some of the major roads which is expected to contribute to the traffic from the catchment districts to the Yamuna Expressway. Based on the directional location and radial zone in which the district is located Jewar airport will receive the traffic either from the southwards or northwards direction of the Yamuna Expressway with respect to the Jewar airport. The existing road network, which is cable enough to cater the plying traffic after development of Jewar Airport is furnished in the following section. Table Error!
