Puravankara Commercial/ Office Building

1.0 Introduction

The Silicon Valley and IT capital of India has seen tremendous growth in the information technology, software development since 1980 onwards. The continues growth has seen bangalore as one of the fastest growing cities in south east Asia as well as in the IT sector, ITes, Bio-Technology, genetic engineering, data informatics and other related fields.

The latest trend of hiring space in the name of “We Work” for startup companies are also coming up at various places in Bangalore to encourage various professionals to create, construct and develop in the field.

This tremendous growth lead Bangalore to a different destination and made a name throughout the world.

On the other hand all these developments have taken place towards Bangalore east (65%) including Hosur road (Electronic city corridor), White field, Outer ring road & its neighbourhood, where as Bangalore south (Bannerghatta road) has seen about 15% growth in IT sector. Mysore road has seen about 6% growth where as Bangalore north (New Airport Road) has witnessed a remarkable progress (15%) growth at present. Bangalore west is totally neglected due to several constraints.

Due to changed scenario and other policy decisions with available infrastructure various places are also in the threshold of development at isolated land parcels.

The heavily concentrated IT areas has not seen the infrastructure growth resulted in dissatisfaction amongst IT leaders, professionals & workforce leading to frustration due to longer travel time, delays, congestion, transportation related issues in addition to scarcity of water, power and other basic needs.

The issues highlighted above is more predominant in Bangalore north east, east, south east and south in particular. As compared to above said areas, Bangalore west is very calm, quiet and fairly good for such developments. With this Brigade Enterprises World Trade Centre (WTC) is the neighborhood where the land parcel of M/s Purvankara is situated and it has become a hot spot for IT, ITeS and other commercial activities.

The other advantages are METRO rail connectivity adjacent to the land, Yeshwanthpur railway station (proposed for CRS –Commuter Rail System / Sub Urban train services), good connectivity to NH- 4(Tumkur - Bellary road-

Chennai) Mysore Road (present SH-17 and ongoing up-gradation to NH-279), close proximity to various residential areas like Rajajinagar, Malleshwaram, Mahalakshmi Layout, Tumkur Road, Vijayanagar and City centre reaching the work place can be faster and one can resume to work with fresh energy and vigous as study shown from Stanford University that in Bangalore 60% energy will be lost due to transport alone.

The study location is more suitable for upcoming commercial development with good connectivity to all places of Bangalore as well as to major expressways and highways.

A famous luxury mall also exists in the area with several other shopping arcades, tourist attraction temples like ISKCON, Mahalakshmi Layout temple, etc to mention a few. A star hotel is also available in the area.

2. General Guidelines and Best Practices to be followed for Purvankara- Office Building

Prof. M.N Sreehari, Traffic Adviser & Consultant Page 4

Puravankara Commercial/ Office Building

2.1 Parking-General (On-street or Off-street surface parking)

Parking is one of the biggest issue and challenge at all areas as the kerb parking/ road side parking will reduce the road way capacity to 1/3rd to 2/3rd (for one side or 2-side parking). Hence it is always desirable and essential to prohibited road side parking.

In such cases it must be planned off-street parking either on the surface are the demand is more MLCP (Multi Level Car Parking) will be planned on a chargeable places or PPP (Public private Participated) mode.

2.2 Various standard and specification is given below.

1. Judicious on street/off street parking enhances the seamless traffic. 2. On street parking occupies 1/3rd to 2/3rd space of the road & hence road capacity is affected drastically. 3. Always parking space provided must be more than the required. 4. Provide atleast 5 number of spaces for physically challenged as per norms. 5. Specific design needs. a. Size of 2wh parking (1.4 m x 2 m). b. Size of 4wh parking (2.5 m x 5.5 m) and likely to be revised to 2.5 x 6 m. It is desirable to take for cars 2.5 m x 5.5 m as parking space. 6. Each car space including driveways turning/ramps etc… will require 35 sqm in basements & 25 sqm on surface. 7. Driveways must be more than the length of the car as the entire body of the car will have to come without touching adjacent cars & the car behind. 8. It is desirable to provide clockwise circulation of traffic in the basement. 9. The ramp (down ramp/up ramp) shall not have less than 1:10 gradient, preferred is 1:12. 10. Adequate lighting, markings & other safety standards must be practiced in the basements & protect the structures (column, roofs, entry & exit etc.) 11. Clear height for stacked/lift parking must be 4.5 m. 12. Clear height for single stack parking shall not be less than 2.8 m & preferred will be 3 m. 13. Further, maximum number of basements for ideal condition shall not be more than 3. Problems like evacuation during emergency, water logging, fire etc; will pose threat.

Puravankara Commercial/ Office Building

14. Adequate illumination, easy accessibility (at least 2 ramp for every 180 vehicles, one for entry & another for exit), safety, adequate turning radius (1.5 times the length of the vehicle), thermo plastic paints, one way movement in the driveway are some of the best practices. 15. It is essential to provide adequate number of parking at 0.5% of the requirement physical otherwise able drivers and these parking places shall not be used for other purpose. 16. As for as possible these places shall be in the beginning of the parking slot and the size will be 3 x 6 m, so that the drivers can use for wheel chair and other facilities. 17. Adequating lighting, waved surface is essential.

Plate 2.4: Pedestrian walkway

2.3 Drainage

1. It is essential to provide drainage along either side of the road. The width based on maximum water level in the vicinity in worst scenario is considered. 2. The best practice followed will be to run separate pipes and cables for various utilities in a duct measuring 1.2mx1m and covered by slabs where pedestrians can walk.

2.4 Ramp for Basement Parking

1. It is advisable to take separate ramp for entry & exit, & for a single way the width shall not be less than 3.5 m & for two lanes same direction 5.5m to 6 m is permissible. 2. Each ramp can clear 180 to 200 cars/hour /lane at a specified speed of 10 kmph. 3. It is NOT advisable to give many turnings in the ramp as it suffers visibility as safety will not be ensured. Hence ramps to be straight preferably one side for down ramp & another side for up ramp. 4. There must be minimum 2 numbers of ramps for any basement considering the emergency evacuation as well one for entry & another for exit.

Prof. M.N Sreehari, Traffic Adviser & Consultant Page 8

Puravankara Commercial/ Office Building

3.1 Introduction

Traffic studies place a vital road which acts as basic inputs for traffic management and transportation planning. Based on the purpose for the study, the day, days, locations, and other details are collected. In the present situation the studies required is not a traditional one as the purpose is introduce the various traffic schemes, road geometrics planning and design which serves as inputs for the infrastructure demand that arise for the beach front road development and safety. 3.2 Reconnaissance Inventory

This type of work requires a strong reconnaissance followed with selecting the parameters, identification of locations, identification of problems, identification of the infrastructure locations are some of the few necessity in reconnaissance.

The study team spent a day for this reconnaissance in addition to off the field data collection using GPS/ GIS. The study locations Dr. Rajkumar road, Tumkur road, Chord road and in front of Parijatha hotel, where the virtual problem will commence with regards to traffic and transportation.

It is essential to provide security, safety and easy traffic flow movement in spite of developing the existing as well as upcoming proposal to attract people is also very important.

3.3 Classified Traffic Volume studies

1. Traffic volume being one of the important basic parameter which affects the planning, design of road infrastructure, the real time traffic scenario will have to be obtained for the study roads preferably at mid block hour wise. Based on the traffic flow trend at the location, the survey was carried out from 7:00 am onwards and up to 11:00 am covering the morning peak and similarly during evening from 4:00 pm onwards up to 8:00 pm covering the evening peak. However the night traffic is almost negligible and is about 5 to 6 % of the total generated traffic. Hence there is no need to measure night traffic and also as the planning and design is based on the peak traffic largely, the main focus is made

Prof. M.N Sreehari, Traffic Adviser & Consultant Page 14

Puravankara Commercial/ Office Building for morning and evening peak, as many times the direction flow of traffic is opposite in nature.

2. Entry and exit for Office Building is Dr. Rajkumar road and Tumkur road.

3. The Office Building traffic volume survey was carried out for

a) Dr. Rajkumar Road is having RoW 24 m with (2+2) lane divided road, 8.5 m + 8.5 m Carriage way which connects to Navrang on one side and Chord road on another side. 0.5 m median, 1 m underground drain (UGD) on either side of the road, 2 m and 2.5 m footpath on both sides. b) Chord Road is having RoW 24 m with (2+2) lanes divided road, 8 m + 8 m carriage way which connects to Mysore road on one side and Tumkur on another side. 2 m median, 1 m underground drain (UGD) on either side of the road, 2 m footpath on either side of the road. c) Sandal soap factory metro station Road is having RoW 24 m with (2+2) lanes divided road, 8m +8 m carriage way which connects to Tumkur on one side and Chord road/ Dr. Rajkumar road. 2 m median, 1 m underground drain (UGD) on either side of the road, 2 m footpath on either side of the road. d) Tumkur Road is having RoW 24 m with (2+2) lane divided road which connects to Yeshwanthpur circle on one side and Tumkur road on another side. 0.5 m median, 1 m underground drain (UGD) on either side of the road, 2 m footpath on either side of the road. 4. Volume is generated online as well as tallied with the field observation. Each classified vehicular volume covering 2 wh, 3 wh (Autos), 4wh (Car, Jeep, Van), Buses / Lorries were considered for the study.

5. The vehicular volume / hour are taken for every 10 min interval and consolidated value for each hour which is as indicated in the table. The figures in the brackets indicate the Passenger Car Units (PCUs).

 It is proposed to run local trains/Commuter rail up to Ramanagar as per MOUD and Indian railways. Since the Yeshwanthpur station is very close to the project, consider number of people use CRS and due to this number of trucks will come down.  As per the projection likely hood reduction in vehicles along following roads will be 15%.

 i.e,. 0.15 x 1967 = 295 Then the traffic reduces to 1967 – 295 = 1672 along Dr. Rajkumar Road towards Navrang.  0.15 x 1508 = 226 Then the traffic reduces to 1508 – 226 = 1282 along Dr. Rajkumar Road towards Chord road.  0.15 x 2346 = 352 Then the traffic reduces to 2346 – 352 = 1994 PCU’s/hr along Chord Road towards Mysore road.  0.15 x 1841 = 276 Then the traffic reduces to 1841– 276 = 1565 PCU’s/hr along Chord Road towards Tumkur road.  0.15 x 3511 = 527 Then the traffic reduces to 3511 – 527 = 2984 PCU’s/hr along Sandal Soap metro station towards Chord / Rajkumar road.  0.15 x 3347 = 502 Then the traffic reduces to 3347 – 502 = 2845 PCU’s/hr along Sandal Soap metro station towards Tumkur road.  0.15 x 3760 = 564 Then the traffic reduces to 3760 – 564 = 3196 PCU’s/hr along Tumkur Road towards Yeshwanthpur circle.  0.15 x 3917 = 588 Then the traffic reduces to 3917 – 588 = 3329 PCU’s/hr along Tumkur Road towards Tumkur road.

3.20 Changed Scenario -2 after Namma METRO

. Presently East –West (Nayandanahalli To Biyyapanahalli) and North –South . (Nagasandra to Yalachenahalli) corridor is completed and being extended in all the four directions. . As per the survey have conducted (RITES- GoI) various studies for all metro in India and came out with the reduction of 40% split.

. Further there are several connectivities are in pipe line and work has already commenced. With this, commuters are expected to transfer from other mode of transportation to Metro. As per the projection from the planning commission and MoUD it is essential to consider to about 60 to 70% of the traffic will be happening in Metro, However moderately 40% passenger trips will be carried out during mass transportation.

. Once all Phases are completed 40% of the traffic reduced from the Total traffic generated just by Metro train.

. The nearest station to the project site being Yeshwanthpura. As of now, only the partial stretch is operation since Majestic station is yet to be opened for public. Once the complete route is operational, as per the projection made by RITES/BMRCL, there will be reduction of 40% traffic along Tumkur road / NH-4.

Since the project site resides along the Metro path, the following road experiences reduction of 40 % traffic.

 i.e., 0.4 x 1672 = 669 PCU’s/hr, then the traffic reduces to 1672 - 669 = 1003 PCU’s/hr along Dr. Rajkumar Road towards Navrang.  0.4 x 1282 = 513 PCU’s/hr, then the traffic reduces to 1282 - 513 = 769 along Dr. Rajkumar Road towards Chord road.  0.4 x 1994 = 798 PCU’s/hr, then the traffic reduces to 1994 - 798 = 1196 PCU’s/hr along Chord Road towards Mysore road.  0.4 x 1565= 626 PCU’s/hr, then the traffic reduces to 1565 - 626 = 939 PCU’s/hr along Chord Road towards Tumkur road.  0.4 x 2984 = 1194 PCU’s/hr, then the traffic reduce to 2984 -1194 = 1790 PCU’s/hr along Sandal Soap metro station towards Chord/ Rajkumar road.  0.4 x 2845 = 1138 PCU’s/hr, then the traffic reduces to 2845 - 1138 = 1707 PCU’s/hr along Sandal Soap metro station towards Tumkur road.

2.1 Introduction

The study team spent a day for this reconnaissance in addition to off the field data collection using GPS/ GIS. The study locations Tumkur road, Dr. Rajkumar road, in front of Parijatha hotel and Chord road, where the virtual problem will commence with regards to traffic and transportation.

As compare to weekdays traffic, obviously the weekend traffic will be almost 10 to 15 times more than that of Monday to Friday. Due to the prevailing holidays to schools, colleges and IT’s and also results in heavy traffic flow and movements of the people for the MCC.

It is essential to provide security, safety and easy traffic flow movement in spite of developing the existing as well as upcoming proposal to attract people is also very important.

d) Tumkur Road is having RoW 24 m with (2+2) lane divided road which connects to Yeshwanthpur circle on one side and Tumkur road on another side. 0.5 m median, 1 m underground drain (UGD) on either side of the road, 2 m footpath on either side of the road. 3. Volume is generated online as well as tallied with the field observation. Each classified vehicular volume covering 2 wh, 3 wh (Autos), 4wh (Car, Jeep, Van), Buses / Lorries were considered for the study.

4. The vehicular volume / hour are taken for every 10 min interval and consolidated value for each hour which is as indicated in the table. The figures in the brackets indicate the Passenger Car Units (PCUs).

5. To understand the congestion it is very important to obtain the Volume- Capacity ratio must be obtained based on IRC criteria. The capacity is taken based on IRC 106:1990 and the values are tabulated for all the study roads and the details are presented below.
