Aim was to find out the best feasible alignment of a grade separated mass rapid transit system (metro rail). Whether and when a metro system will be needed for a city depends upon several factors which may include daily ridership and traffic growth, average trip length and revenue likely to be earned on one side and the cost of metro line construction, maintenance and operation on the other side. Cost of construction and maintenance depends upon the length of the line (also percent length of elevated or/and underground length) to be constructed. Maintenance cost includes cost of power, rolling stock, signaling and telecommunication, general and special technical and civil maintenance and staff cost. As a matter of fact, maintenance cost and revenue generation solely depend upon the ridership which is estimated through traffic modeling and traffic survey. Therefore traffic study is the first and most important component of the metro network implementation in a city. Budget funding is also another issue. 1.1 Scope and Methodology Scope of this report was to estimate daily ridership on metro alignments which are proposed under different options. Initial alignment proposal is made on the basis of connectivity between location of employment centers and residential places and passenger traffic flow. Traditional four stage model for travel demand estimation was used and for that, necessary input data base was prepared first, which consists of (1) Primary and secondary travel related data collection, (2) Making them usable as input to calibrate travel demand models, (3) Generating outputs for further analysis (4) Recommending alignment for metro line construction. Procedural details are given in section 2. 1.2 Preliminary alignment Different alternative metro lines were thought by physically observing the city from existing landuse in the city and by identifying the traffic corridors which are connecting important landuses such as employment centers and residential 4 Traffic pre feasibility study for Indore metro colonies. Present and future town planning maps, past studies are studied. Metro Alternative Networks considered in the study is given in Table 1 and shown in figure 1.

Most of employment centers are concentrated on both side of this corridor. Initially (Phase 1) this line may go up to the Ring Road (Bengali Chawraha-12.30 km) and later on may be extended up to the Bypass. (2.82 km) Line 2 may start from Niranjanpur and will be passing through mixed land use areas namely Vijay Nagar, Patni Pura, Malwa Mill, Tuko Ganj, High Court, R.N Tagore Road, Navalakha and Bhanwarkuan Road (10.57 km) and later on may be extended up to the Bypass along Khandawa Road (Kasturba Gram Rural Institute crossing-6.36 km). This line will carry passengers from the eastern side of the city. Line 3 may either start from Sukhlia and shall go along the natural drain (Nala) and shall pass through Bhagirath Pura, Lakshmi Bai, Rambag, Wholesale 5 Traffic pre feasibility study for Indore metro Markets at Rajwada, Imli Bazar and Moti Tabela (8.85 km). This line may also start from the crossing of MR10 and Ujjain Road and pass through Kabir Kheda, Banganga, Meri Mata Chowk and Khejuri Bazar, Rajwada (Jawahar Road) and Motitabela (6.44 km). From Motitabela, this line shall pass through the places such as Collectorate, Katju Colony, Usha Nagar and Sudama Nagar and reach Rajendra Nagar (5.77 km). Later this line may further be extended up to Bypass(2) near Rau Rail Station (5.12 km) Along both the alternatives of this line, residential areas such as Bagirathpura, Banganga, Lakshmi Bai, Sukhlia, Rajendra Nagar exist. Some areas such as Annapurna, Collectorate have mixed landuse and some areas such as Krishnapura, Rajwada, Cloth Market are
