Roadway and waterway are plays an important role in our country’s society and economy as well as in our multi-modal transportation system. Its low expenses and high accessibility, as compared with other alternatives, amplifies a great demand for carrying goods and passengers within the country. • The main objective of this study is to introduce non- conventional mode of transportation at urban level and reduce environmental impacts , traffic congestion, traffic delay and large traffic emissions at urban level by introducing alternative mode of transportation. • Selection of route for water transportation is from Subhas bridge circle to paldi circle and carrying out the analysis for the route. Continue…. • Comparing the distance, time and feasibility for the water transportation to the various other modes of transportation and mass transportation in the Ahmedabad city. • Carrying out the study for the social, economical and environmental impacts related with the various modes of transportation and comparing them. In this study main three types of survey we are doing and its shown below: 1) Traffic volume count 2) Origin and destination (O-D) survey 3) Speed survey Characteristics of Urban Transportation Modes: • Efficiency • Air Pollution • Noise Pollution • Climate Change • Aesthetic Values • Vulnerability of Transport Modes and Systems • Sustainability of the Modes and the System • Accidents Objectives 1. To introduce non-conventional mode of transportation at urban level. 2. To reduce environmental impacts , traffic congestion, traffic delay and large traffic emissions at urban level by introducing alternative mode of transportation. 3. To analyze the implications and limitations of the mass transportation system in the city with emphasis on Roadway and Waterway Transport 4. To establish the viability of Road and Water Transport over other mass transportation in the urban city. Literature review 1) Model split between Rail and Road modes of Transportation in India (Prosenjit dev chaudhary) January-march 2005 Conclusion:- In this study rail and road are the principal modes of transport in the country and the competition between the two is of clear relevance to policy-makers, it should be remembered that waterways and pipelines have a significant share in freight movement. Hence, studies on modal choice should also take into account these other modes and examine their relation to the rail and road modes. 2) Study on the choice of transportation mode for regional logistics (Xu ZHAO,Zan YANG, Zhongzhen YANG, Yu FENG) Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol. 5, pp. 16 - 31, 2005 Conclusion:- The unit which occurs on activity is taken as the study unit of discrete choice model. According to our investigation and calculation and the difference of factors influencing the preference of shippers and carriers, we sum up three main factors, cost, time and reliability. So we bring these main factors into model. Some cargoes with high value in volume or weight unit and the volume of them is not much, so only airway transportation is suitable for these cargoes for fast arrival and less accident. We will continue our study on how to bring these factors into model. 3) Transport mode choice by land transport users (Sutanto Soehodho, Fitria Rahadiani, Komarudin) Civil Engineering (ICEECE'2012) Singapore April 28-29, 2012 Conclusion:- Although the research findings do not fully supported the whole ecological model proposed that covers individual, social, and environmental factors, the research model that needs to be expanded to be more specific explaining how the factors and levels really interact each other. Then, it can be used to identify appropriate levels of detail and the mechanism for the model. Positive-negative relationship of the factors needs to be undertaken to explain the details more fully. 4) Public transport mode selection: a review of international practice (Stephen Luke, Mott MacDonald) (2nd International Conference on Civil Engineering (ICEECE'2012) Singapore April 28-29, 2012) Conclusion:- Public transport mode choice is primarily driven by socio- economic criteria in all of international regions examined. This in turn is dependant on the potential passenger market for public transport and the trip patterns of prospective users. Particularly in Australasia and North America, land use development over the past 30-40 years has resulted in very low density, single use development with dispersed trip patterns not well served by traditional line-haul public transport. Consequently the concept of bus rapid transit has developed to serve this land use development. 5) U.S. freight investment efficiency of waterways and highways (Erin Kersh, James P. Dobbins , Ron Coles) June 13, 2012 Conclusion:- This study focused on two objectives: 1) determining relevant federal investments on highway and waterway freight modes and 2) calculating investment efficiency for each of these modes. This was accomplished using data collected from multiple transportation agencies and federal sources based on the availability of the most recent information. This offers the potential for determining appropriate policy decisions and the importance of making proper future investments. Methodology Introduction of Roadway and waterway Literature review transportation Objective Study of existing routes Traffic volume count Data collection O-D survey Speed survey Viability study of road and water transportation Selection of route Analysis of routes Continue Comparison with existing condition of conventional transport with proposed route Study of social, economical and environmental impacts Conclusion Future scope of study Study area map Profile of Ahmedabad City It is one of the fifth largest cities and seventh largest metropolitan areas of India. Ahmedabad has metropolitan population of 6.4 million. Ahmedabad is located on the banks of the River Sabarmati, which is 32 km away from the capital state of Gandhinagar. As per Census of India 2011, the area under Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation contains population of 3,520,085. The population of the area of Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) was 4,525,013. The total length of navigable waterways in India is about 14,500 km, of which 5,700 km is navigable by mechanically propelled vessels. Presently 2012 there are 1.45 million vehicles in Ahmedabad city, growing at 7% per year. Registered Motor Vehicles in India • With a registered motor vehicle population of 174 lakh, the State of Maharashtra accounted for the largest share (12.3%) of the total registered motor vehicles in the country. Tamil Nadu recorded the second highest share (11.0%) of registered motor vehicles, followed by Uttar Pradesh (9.4%), Gujarat (9.2%) and Andhra Pradesh (7.2%). • These five States together accounted for about 49% of the total vehicles registered up to 31st March, 2011. Registered vehicles in the country grew at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.9% between 2001 and 2011.

The road side interview survey can be done either by directly interviewing drivers of the vehicles at selected survey points or by issuing prepaid post cards containing the questionnaire to all or a sample of the drivers. Analysis of O-D survey O-D survey (road side interview method) Up trip from subhash bridge circle to paldi circle Survey area (circle) Interview No. of Use waterway No use % number of person waterway person use waterway Subhas bridge circle 50 34 16 68 Vadaj circle 50 32 18 64 Income tax circle 50 28 22 56 Naheru bridge circle 50 35 15 70 Ellis bridge circle 50 31 19 62 Down trip from paldi circle to subhas bridge circle Survey area (circle) Interview No. of Use waterway No use % number of person person waterway use waterway Paldi circle 50 28 22 56 Ellis bridge circle 50 36 14 72 Naheru bridge circle 50 33 17 66 Income tax circle 50 40 10 80 Vadaj circle 50 39 11 78 Traffic volume count survey • Traffic volume is a variable. It is of great significance to the traffic engineer. Traffic volume study is essentially a counting process involving quantity of movement per unite time at a specified location. The counting process generally includes composite group of different type vehicles (both slow and fast). The selected time periods in hours, days, weeks, months, or year depend upon purpose of the study and the required degree of accuracy. Hours of count Normal period of study 12 hrs. 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 18 hrs. 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. 8 hrs. (peak hour) 7-11 a.m. - 2-6 p.m. 4 hrs. (peak hour) 7-9 a.m. - 4-6 p.m. Road Network • The greater Ahmedabad area roadway system is approximately 3478 Kms. Other than the National Highway Authority, which maintains National Highways and the State Roads and Buildings Department, the two urban local bodies; AMC and AUDA, are responsible for developing, operating and maintaining road infrastructure Analysis of volume count survey Name of vehicle Average Number PCU for vehicle Total PCU Average speed of vehicle (hour) 2 wheeler 3183 0.5 1591.5 10.62 3 wheeler 1071 1 1071 28.89 4 wheeler 1128 1 1128 12.27 AMTS bus 57 3 171 24.76 Truck 44 3 132 33.29 Non motorized 08 8 64 44.45 vehicle Spot Speed survey • Speed of vehicle fluctuates from time along the road and its value as show on the speedometer at a particular spot is called the “spot speed”.
