WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR SPECIAL THANKS OF GRATITUDE TO OUR RESPECTED PROJECT MENTOR PROF. ANITA SAXENA FOR GIVING US THE GOLDEN
OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS WORDERFUL PROJECT ON THE TOPIC “ TO COMPARE THE TRAFFIC FLOW IN BRT CORRIDOR DURING DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY AND DURING
DIFFERENT DAYS AND SUGGEST SOLUTION TO EASE THE PROBLEM”, WHICH ALSO HELPED US IN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH AND WE CAME TO KNOW ABOUT SO MANY NEW THINGS. WE ARE REALLY THANKFUL TO HER. SECONDLY WE ARE THANKFUL TO OUR FRIENDS WHO HELPED IN FINISHING THIS PROJECT WITHIN THE LIMITED TIME.
ABSTRACT
The project in its present form is the result of the research and survey done at the BRT corridor which stretches from Dr. Ambedkarnagar to Delhi Gate which is 14.5 km long. There are segregated lanes for buses, motorcycles, rickshaws, cycles and pedestrians. Introduction of the BRT system has provided equal space to all commuters and offer safety to pedestrians and cyclists which has deliberately reduced the rate of accidents. It has also provided the buses and all the public transport to run on a proper way during the peak time.
OBJECTIVES
1. To measure the traffic flow on BRT CORRIDOR. 2. To measure the frequency of vehicles during different time intervals viz. 7:30 A.M, 9:30 AM, 2:30 P.M, 5:30 P.M. 3. To observe that whether the traffic rules are followed or not. 4. Is there any inconvenience faced by commuters? 5. To take public feedback on BRT. 6. To find some reliable solution for the problem faced by commuters.
METHODOLOGY
First of all we formed four groups of 2 people each to adjust with the four different timings and days to work on this project. Then each one of the group visited four different platforms of BRT corridor on four different days to analyze the exact situation. We saw that the traffic flow was very high on peak hours and quite low on other times of the day. Then we draw the statistics of the flow for easier calculation. We talked with the commuters to know their problems and tried to reach the grass root level of their likes and dislikes about the BRT corridor for successful completion of the project.

PEOPLE’S FEEDBACK ON BRT CORRIDOR
NOT SATISFIED SATISFIED NEUTRAL
KEY LEARNINGS
We learnt a lot through this project. The survey done has been very helpful for analyzing the actual situation.
Suggesting measures for BRT corridor and pointing out its merits and demerits was not at all a easy task, as many researches had worked on it and then it has been implemented. But as we have moved to people to know their views about this corridor we were surprised by their answers as most around 70% of them is not satisfied with the BRT corridor. But certain problems can be erased if we try to avoid the mistakes we are making every day, by just taking small steps like using zebra crossing, foot over bridge etc. According to CENTRAL ROAD RESEARCH INSTITUTE reports, city car owner lose over Rs. 2.48 crores annually due to fuel loss caused by prolonged queues of vehicles on the BRT corridor. The estimated money loss is referring to cars alone and for other vehicles the loss is much higher.
SUGGESTIONS
1. According to our survey on different times and on different days it shows that number of buses should be increased. 2. Some main bus stops must be upgraded with some more facilities like increasing the number of seats. 3. We have noticed that some private vehicles enter in the bus lane and traffic runs smoothly on Saturday. So, we would suggest cars and three wheelers should be allowed in BRT corridor and traffic runs smoothly on weekdays and there will be no traffic jam. 4. There should be some mechanism on the over bridge for handicapped persons, so that they can easily use the bridge other than crossing the busy road and risking their life.
5. We would also like to suggest that number of foot over bridges must be increased as people have to walk more just to climb the only one foot over bridge which exists.
CONCLUSION
According to our survey we came to the conclusion that BRT corridor has both advantages and disadvantages. There is a need of some up gradation on BRT corridor to lower down the problems which is affecting its importance. And this could be done by some small efforts which we have already mentioned above. Government has built this road for our convenience. Therefore it is our responsibility that we take care of this public property. Some sincere efforts by each one of us can lower down the problem we face.
