  • Sufficiency Evaluation of Pune Metro Rail Networks (IJIRST/ Volume 2 / Issue 12/ 071)
    IJIRST –International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology| Volume 2 | Issue 12 | May 2016 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 Sufficiency Evaluation of Pune Metro Rail Networks Akshay Salunke Suraj Alhat Student Student Department of Civil Engineering Department of Civil Engineering Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering Nigdi, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering Nigdi, Maharashtra, India Maharashtra, India Mayur Dalvi Suraj Dubal Student Student Department of Civil Engineering Department of Civil Engineering Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering Nigdi, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering Nigdi, Maharashtra, India Maharashtra, India Abstract As India is one of the fastest developing country in world the metro rail network plays an important role in cities transport system so it is now need of future to have an efficient and well effective metro rail network in city. The objective of this research is a preliminary examination of metro rail network extensiveness versus the city’s needs, aiming to assist the estimation of the adequacy of a metro network. This study is concentrated on comparing mature metro system in several large European cities with Indian cities based on a selection of indicators relating metro network characteristics i.e. Length and no. of stations, city characteristics eg. Population and density. A methodology exploiting these macroscopic characteristics in a strategic planning context was developed and a combination of related indicators is proposed. This methodology is applied for the estimation of the degree of adequacy of the current Athens, Greece metro network in a relation to city’s needs. Findings indicate that the Athens metro network cannot be yet characterized as adequate and specific proposals are made in terms of future network extensions.

    PEOPLE NEAR TRANSIT, TRANSIT NEAR PEOPLE Shaping public transit to serve maximum, pollute minimum May 2019 The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy works around the world to design and implement high quality transport and urban development systems and policy solutions that make cities more livable, equitable, and sustainable. This project is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) contents contents What is People Near Transit? 3 Comparison with Best 29 1 Practices Who benefits? 3 4 Highlights of the Pune PNT 8 Analysis 5 Recommendations 30 About Pune and 9 2 Pimpri-Chinchwad How the twin cities commute? 11 6 Glossary 31 3 Pune PNT Analysis 13 Density Distribution 13 People near Bus Transit 15 People near Frequent Transit 17 People near Rapid Transit 19 Notified Slums near Frequent 21 Transit School Children near Frequent 23 Transit Employment Centres near Frequent 25 Transit Frequency Heat Map of PMPML 27 Service 1 2 1 What is People Near Transit? In an urban environment, access to any form of transit within a comfortable walking distance is critical for the selection of a mode of transportation. The lack of walkability to public transport, along with the deficiency of other vital factors like frequency and safety, often result in people shifting towards unsustainable transport modes like personal motor vehicles. People near Transit (PNT) is an effective proxy indicator to measure how well a city provides transit access to its residents. It aids in assessing urban transport systems and services while exposing the accessibility gaps in the existing systems. Furthermore, the analysis facilitates the integration of land use and transportation, while providing guidance on the planning of future transit corridors with better frequencies.

  • PMC-Nanded City Monorail to Make Pune SMARTER
    IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) e-ISSN : 2278-1684, p-ISSN : 2320–334X PP 90-94 www.iosrjournals.org PMC-Nanded city Monorail to make Pune SMARTER S. G. Ban1, Dr. S. S. Shahpure2 (Assist. Prof & HOD .Civil Engineering Department. G.H. Raisoni Institute of Engineering & Technology, Wagholi, Pune.) (Professor, Civil Engineering RSCOE, Tathwade, Pune.) Abstract: All the developed cities face transportation as a major problem along with municipal solid waste and sewage disposal. The level of pollution is also a serious matter. While becoming a smart city Pune cannot go by a single solution to such problem and there is a need to have integrated and environment friendly system that will make us (PUNE) unique in the world. In this paper an effort is made to push forward a monorail system on one corridor Nanded city to PMC. As the system like METRO and BRT are not feasible on routes on which turns and gradients are stiff. In Pune there is a possibility to run a monorail along ‘MULA’ and ‘MUTHA’ rivers considerable length and it can help connect all the other corridors of the city. Its economically, cost effectiveness, technical feasibility is discussed in the paper to come to a conclusion that MONORAIL can be an effective augmentation to other transportation systems on this particular corridor. I. Introduction: Monorail is one of the best alternative systems for urban transportation. There are many opportunities for us to introduce monorail systems the world over; not just in India, but also in China, South-east Asian countries, etc..
