Economic as well as recreational activities of the city Bhopal are dependent on the water availability in the upper Bhopal Lake. This receives water as surface runoff only during monsoon period of each and every year. The upper lake has a catchment area of 375.55km2. The Land use Pattern of about 80% of the catchment is an agricultural area. Whereas 5% is of the forest and rest comes in urban area. Since the inset of monsoon in the catchment area is by 15th June in every year. The agricultural area starts contributing by the end of august. Whereas the lake start receiving surface runoff right from the beginning of monsoon season. Bhojtal Basin has a good surface hydro environment potential to reduce the water scarcity problem of the district.

The adverse effects of this profession on the health of the rickshaw pullers, the problems faced by them and their remedial measures have been also taken into account. The study is based on primary data collected through the field survey and direct questionnaire to the respondents in Aligarh city. The survey was carried out during the months of February and March, 2010. The overall analysis of the study reveals that the rickshaw pullers are one of the poorest sections of the society, living in abject poverty but play a pivotal role in intra-city transportation system. Neither is their working environment regulated nor their social security issues are addressed. They are also unaware about the governmental schemes launched for poverty alleviation and their accessibility in basic amenities and infrastructural facilities is also very poor.

  • A Review on Feasibility Study of Providing Cycle Track in East Zone Area of Vadodara City
    January 2018, Volume 5, Issue 1 JETIR (ISSN-2349-5162) A REVIEW ON FEASIBILITY STUDY OF PROVIDING CYCLE TRACK IN EAST ZONE AREA OF VADODARA CITY 1Urvi Patel, 2Jayesh Juremalani, 3Khushbu Bhatt 1M.tech student, 2Assistant professor, 3Assistant professor 1Transportation engineering 1Parul institute of engineering and technology, Vadodara,India Abstract—The “last mile” problem is becoming the increasingly serious problem during the process of development of the public transit. Traditional transit hardly meets the residents’ door to door travel demands, which reduce passenger satisfaction with the public transit. Also issues on carbon emission and energy saving have been taken seriously. The central concept to increasing bicycles for short-distance trips in an urban area as an alternative to motorised public transport or private vehicles, thereby reducing traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution. Targeted at low‐income groups the prime reasons for subscriptions were savings in time and money spent over other modes of transport. The main obstacle to boosting the bicycle as a regular mode of transport is safety problem due to mix motorized traffic. One option is to separate cyclists from motorists through exclusive bicycle priority lanes. A questionnaire survey will carried out from public what they want features in the bicycle track. Using that data we can design the bicycle track as per IRC-11 (cycle track design and layouts 1962). Index Terms— bicycle, transport, bicycling, motivation, non motorized modes I.INTRODUCTION As an emerging economy, India now faces urban challenges that are more complex than the western world, particularly due to the sheer size of the population and rapid pace of urbanization.

  • Design of Advanced Loading Cycle Rickshaw Rasika S
    International Journal of Innovative and Emerging Research in Engineering Volume 3, Issue 10, 2016 Available online at www.ijiere.com International Journal of Innovative and Emerging Research in Engineering e-ISSN: 2394 – 3343 p-ISSN: 2394 – 5494 Design of Advanced Loading Cycle Rickshaw Rasika S. Khairkar a a PRMIT & R Badnera, Amravati, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT: The present paper is to design and development of loading cycle rickshaw. It includes the self weight of cycle rickshaw is reduced by replacing some heavier material with lighter one, the torque is nearly doubled by using gear train of torque multiplier mechanism and the unloading is done by tilting the rickshaw carriage about pivots provided on the frame. The purpose of this paper is to reduce the effort of the rickshaw puller and to have quick unloading mechanism of goods. This paper will lead to a safe, easy and comfortable mode of transport in three wheeled non-engine cargo. This is the long lasting mode of transport since it is not affected by fuel crisis and the green mode of transport thus will greatly reduce the pollution. Keywords: Loading cycle rickshaw, torque multiplier, load, unload, mechanism, aluminum sheet I. INTRODUCTION A cycle rickshaws are widely used for transportation throughout the India. The basic rickshaw is a three-wheeled tricycle design, pedalled by a human driver in the front and with a bench seat in the rear for conveying goods and luggage. There are an estimated eight million cycle rickshaw pullers in India alone, with many more in Bangladesh and other developing countries[1]. But cycle rickshaws are growing in popularity even in developed countries.
