5.2 EXISTING TRAFFIC DISPERSAL ARRANGEMENTS

Walk is the pre-dominant mode of feeder passenger trips to/ from the sub-urban rail system. At all stations, buses and IPT in the form of autos are the other major modes of the traffic dispersal.

The details of existing stations of Panvel - Virar Corridor alongwith their respective landuse, catchment areas and interchanges with other systems are described in the following paragraphs, Figures 5.2 to 5.14 and Table 5.3.

5.3 PLANNING FOR INTERCHANGE FACILITIES

It is necessary to plan for inter-modal integration at major interchange stations. The proposed inter-modal integration measures have the following objectives;

 To facilitate efficient transfer and dispersal of passengers from/ to the stations  To provide for effective inter-modal interchange of the passengers with the feeder modes including walk

In conjunction with the projected ridership, planning of inter-modal integration is carried out for the year 2041.

The existing Panvel - Virar Rail Corridor carries passenger traffic volume reaching sectional passenger load levels of around 3000 PHPDT and station loads upto 2000 passengers during peak hours. Majority of the sub-urban rail passengers walk to/ from the Railway stations. However, a significant percentage also depends on buses and IPTs for feeder mode to/ from the stations.

The modal distribution of the feeder trips at the station for the proposed system is likely to be similar to as presently observed at the major stations such as Panvel , Kopar, Nalasopara, Vasai and Virar . However, the quantum of passenger dispersal volumes in the station areas would increase significantly in the future.

With the increase in passenger traffic dispersing via the road network for their feeder trips, it is vital that adequate traffic dispersal facilities are available at the stations in terms of capacity of roads, footpaths/ pedestrian facilities, bus stops, IPT stands, Pick-Drop Areas and Parking to cater to the projected requirements.

The present transport infrastructure and dispersal facilities would need to be augmented to handle the additional volumes. Up-gradation of walkways, pedestrian cross-over facilities, new/ augmented bus/ IPT stands, planned pick-up/ drop-off areas, parking facilities and increased frequencies of public transport are the prominent measures envisaged for this purpose.

The proposed corridor will have potential passenger interchange with the proposed Navi Mumbai metro corridor which would been in vicinity of Kalamboli, Navade and Taloje. Accordinly the skywalks are proposed or extended in such a ways to have an integration with the proposed metro stations at concourse level

The traffic dispersal and proposed arrangements and infrastructure for future inter- modal transport integration and traffic dispersal for the thirteen existing stations along the Corridor have been prepared at conceptual level (Tables 5.4 to 5.16 and Figures 5.15 to 5.27). The sites for future stations have no developments and road network at present – as and when these stations are developed, similar arrangements/ facilities in relation to the station precincts and surrounding developments can be provided there.
