1. Traffic Impact Study – Need & Methodology

The goal of a Traffic Impact Assessment Study (TIAS) is to assess the potential impact of Traffic generated by a proposed development or redevelopment and to identify the roadway improvements required to ensure that the road network will operate safely and efficiently for its future.

A TIAS is an important part of the development review and approval process. A TIAS will assist the trustee developers and planners to evaluate the impact caused due to generated and attracted traffic operations within the immediate area of the development and in some cases within the overall transportation network infrastructure. It will also help to ascertain the impact the existing road network and traffic demand will cause on the proposed development.

The Traffic Impact Assessment study benefits the decision makers in following ways.

• Providing decision makers with a basis on which to assess transportation implications of proposed development applications;

• Providing a rational basis on which to evaluate if the type and scale of the development is appropriate for a particular site and what improvements may be necessary, on and/or off of the site, to provide for safe and efficient traffic flow;

• Providing a basis for assessing existing or future localized transportation system deficiencies which should be improved;

• Addressing transportation-related issues associated with development proposals that may be of concern to neighbouring residents, businesses and property owners; and

• Providing a basis for negotiations for improvements and funding participation in conjunction

2. Project Background

South Indian Bank is developing an office block in Kakkanad in Ernakulum. The proposed office building is adjacent to their regional office at Rajagiri valley. The new facility is a 19028.96 Sqm building with 13 floors (B+G+11 upper floors). A master plan of the project is provided in Figure 1.

Kakkanad is a major industrial and residential region in the city of in Kerala, . It is situated in the eastern part of the city and houses the Cochin Special Economic Zone, Infopark, Smart City and KINFRA Export Promotion Industrial Park. It is also the administrative headquarters of the District of Ernakulam (of which the city of Kochi forms a part). Being the administrative hub of , Kakkanad is home for several state as well as central government offices namely, the Civil Station (hosting The District Collectorate , The RTO etc.), the District Panchayat office, the Airman Selection Board , Siksha Bhavan (office of the Central HRD Ministry), Kendriya Shram Sadan (office of the Regional Labour Commissioner) etc.

The property is located in Kakkanad, Rajagiri Valley with access from Infopark Expressway and Rajagiri college road. The Infopark Expressway is a 2.5km six lane divided road which connects Seaport-Airport Road with Infopark. The property lies on Infopark Expressway 650 m from the junction formed with Seaport-Airport road. A base map of the area showing the project location is provided in Figure 1.

3. Road Network in the Area

The national highways passing through Kochi are, NH 17- Panvel to Kanyakumari (New No: NH 66), NH 47- Salem Ernakulam (New No NH 544), NH47A-kundanoor to Willington Island (New No: 966B), NH 47C- International Container Terminal Road from Kalamaserry to Bolgatty (New No: 966A) and NH49 –Dhanushkodi to Cochin( New No: 85). These highways connect the city with other major cities in Kerala and India. The state highways in the city are SH 66- Thopumpady to Alappuzha, SH15- Ettumanoor to Thripunithura, SH41- to Thekkady, SH 16- to Munnar, SH1- MC Road to Thiruvananthapuram to and SH 63- -Munnambam.

Main connectivity to Kakkanad is through SH 41 – Palarivattom Thekkady Road – which joins NH544 (Ernakulam – Salem Road) at HMT junction. To access the project vehicles have to take Seaport – Airport road from SH 41 and then take access road to Infopark Express way. Infopark Express way is a six lane divided road, while Sea Port – Ariport Road and SH41 are three lane undivided roads. Road from Infopark Expressway to Rajagiri College is two lane divided road. The broad road network in the area is shown in Figure 3.

4. Public Transport Access to Kakkanad/Project site

Prevalent mode of Public transport in Kochi is private bus. As per the surveys conducted by Rail Ltd. (KMRL) in 2015 - 49% of the trips in the city are undertaken by bus. Kakkanad has frequent bus services to all parts of Ernakulam and to Aluva to the north. Bus service is available from Chittethukara (Nearest Bus Stop) to Vyttilla, Kalamasserey, Rail terminals in the city and to MG Road (the main commercial and shopping area in the city).

Kochi is the only city in Kerala where a suburban rail system is available. The first phase of the metro connects Aluva and Petta. This line does not connect Kakkanad. Second phase of the Metro is planned to connect Inforpark to JLN Stadium. This phase passes near the project site and has a station named Rajagiri. Once this route is operational the employees will have access from areas in the city connected by the Metro. The route map of the Metro Phase II is provided in Figure 4.

5. Access Roads to the Project

Access to the proposed project is from the road to Rajagiri institutions from Infopark Expressway. This road is a two lane divided road with each lane 4 m wide. Access to the proposed project is shown in Figure 5(Proposed Gate). There are two gates to access the property one on the front side which opens up directly to the Infopark Expressway and the other in the rear side. Once the new block is constructed a new gate on the rear side is proposed to be established for accessing the new building. Front gate will continue to be used to access the present office building.

Composition of traffic on Rajagiri College Road is strikingly similar to that of traffic in Infopark Expressway, with 85% of the traffic comprising of cars and two wheelers. A higher percentage of bus is plying on the college road compared to that in Infopark Expressway – most of these being the college buses. Peak hour observed is from 8.00 AM to 9.00 AM and the traffic is 640 PCU per hour. Given the capacity of 900 PCU per day, V/C ratio is 0.71 - the road has some spare capacity to handle additional traffic as per today’s traffic condition.

7. On Going Transport Improvements to access roads

As per discussion with local PWD and municipal officials no major improvement to the road network near the property is envisaged in the near future. Seaport – airport road itself is not fully developed yet – work is going on to provide this connectivity to the airport.

8. Other Developments near the Project

Many residential properties are coming up in around the Infopark. Some of the major ones are shown in Figure 15. Many apartments – like Skyline Ivy League, SFS Homes – are constructing new

17

Traffic Impact Assessment South Indian Bank Office Building, Kakkanad

blocks at present. Even the constructed apartments are not fully occupied. Local enquiries revealed that office space in Info Park is also not fully filled up. Smart City is in the initial stages of development and a lot more work is to come. Increase in workers in the Infopark will lead to increase in traffic on Infopark Expressway as well as the Seaport – Airport road.

9. Trip Generation from the Proposed Development

Existing office building of the bank has 250 Employees. Public transport to the location is not very good now as per local enquiries. About 50% of the staff commute to work by private modes – cars and two wheelers. Rest either come by Auto Rikshaws or alight at some nearby location and walk or again take an auto rikshaw to reach the office. We have surveyed the traffic entering/exiting the property form 8.00 AM to 12.00 PM in terms of cars, two wheelers and auto rickshaws. Number of vehicles entering the property and occupancy were noted. Vehicle occupancy rate as obtained from the survey is shown in Table 10 . Share of modes being used by the staff to access the existing office is shown in Figure 16. It is assumed that usage of private modes (cars and two wheelers) would continue as a trend until the public transport connectivity improves – either with more bus routes or with the coming of the metro rail – Phase II. This trend have been used to estimate the likely mode used by future staff /visitors to the proposed facility.

Occupancy rate Vehicle Type (Persons/vehicle) Car 1.14 Two-Wheeler 1.07 Auto Rickshaw 1.08

The new office is expected to employ 700 staff as per information provided by the client. As per our studies the trip rates in such offices is 2.15 trips per day – as all staff make at least two trips one to come to the office and another to return. More trips are generated by visitors or staff going out for official or personal purposes. These trips are divided among the modes as per the survey results and generated traffic estimated as presented in Table 11.

As per discussions with the client the construction period of the proposed project is 2 years starting from December 2018. Traffic generated during construction is limited given the scale of development and also considering that the trucks with building materials would travel mostly in off- peak hours as per prevailing traffic regulations. The access roads have spare capacity to handle such traffic in off-peak hours and the effect would be negligible.

New office is likely to be opened and start functioning by year 2021 allowing a few more months for the interiors and other allied works. For the purpose of analysis the impacts of the project on the road network is assumed from year 2021.

10. Impact on Access Roads

From the Entry-Exit survey it is noted that most of the traffic to the property is originated from Seaport-Airport road side of the Infopark Expressway. This is logical as on the other side of the Infopark Expressway is having a controlled access. The traffic generated from the proposed facility will use the new gate which is opened to the Rajagiri college road. New office will add to the traffic on Rajagiri college road, Infopark Expressway and Seaport-Airport Road. Base traffic on all these roads are available from surveys. A growth rate of base traffic needs to be assumed considering the potential for growth in the region. Growth rate of 5% per annum is assumed for this study.

At Junction 1 as per the turning counts obtained from the survey 40% of the traffic on Infopark Expressway move from/ to the Thrippunithura side and 60% of the traffic move from/ to the Kakkanad side. We assume the generated traffic also move in the same way. Increased peak traffic on Seaport-Airport road at location A and B, Infopark Expressway and Rajagiri college road are provided in Table 12.

Additional traffic on Sea port – airport road from the proposed facility is only 45 PCU on Trippunithura side and 67 PCU on Kakkanad side. This additional traffic is about 1.5% of the existing traffic and the increased V/C ratio on the road due to the development is very small. It is a matter of concern that the Seaport – Airport road operates over capacity in the peak hours and additional traffic would have negative effect on the link speed as well as the delay at the junctions.

Infopark expressway provides access to Infopark – which is not yet fully occupied. This road is built as a six lane divided road to cater to any increase in traffic due to further increase in employment in Infopark. Infopark expressway has sufficient spare capacity to handle the extra traffic. Additional traffic from the new development does not affect the Level of Service on this road.

Main access to the new building is from the access road to Rajagiri college – which is catering to mainly to the institution at present, apart from a few small developments on either side of the Rajagiri college compound. Traffic on this road is not likely to see any major increase – as the areas the road provides access to are limited. Peak hour on the access Road to Rajagiri college is between 7.00 AM to 8.00 AM – which is entirely dependent on the college timings. Traffic on this road is negligible in other times as per our surveys (640 PCU in the peak hour to about 100 PCU in other periods). Office timings in the bank is from 9.30 AM and this traffic will be easily catered by the road.

11. Impact Due to Metro Phase II

Pre construction activities for Kochi Metro Phase II is under progress. Likely date for start of construction and start of operations is not clear at present as various sanctions and approvals from the government are awaited. As the proposed JLN Stadium – Infopark line passes through the Rajagiri valley a number of staff working in the offices in the vicinity may shift to the new facility. This would have a positive impact on the road traffic as it may free up some capacity to take care of future growth and reduce the congestion on the roads.

12. Suggested Measures to minimise Adverse Impacts

The only road under distress in the vicinity of the new development is Seaport – Airport road. Traffic on this road is likely to further increase once connectivity on either side of the road is further improved as per the plans of Roads & Bridges Development Corporation of Kerala (RBDCK). The government will have to widen the road to four land divided carriageway to reduce congestion on the road. Turning traffic at the junction with Infopark expressway in peak hour is about 30% of the through traffic. A high share of turning traffic will need grade separation in future to avoid excessive delays at the junction. A detailed study of the grade separation may need to be conducted and appropriate steps taken to provide free access to Infopark as well as the institutions like Rajagiri and South Indian Bank.
