ABSTRACT
The main objective of this project report is to analyse the present condition of the study area by
conducting all the necessary types of surveys with respect to transportation, figure out why the
current transportation system is failing and what exactly is it lacking in public transport, pedestrian
infrastructure and then give suitable recommendations, policies and proposals to rectify the flaws
considering proper functioning of the area in future as well.
To study the current system, various documents were referred and suitable surveys were
conducted in order to analyse the area in detail and some journals for other areas were also
referred to generate different thoughts and ideas for the study area.
While the process has been standardized to some extent, each study has acquired and managed a
massive amount of information about our study area. This information, together with
representations of transportation networks and travel patterns, has been used to produce estimates
of future travel demand and utilization of facilities.
The objectives identified to clear out the goals are to ensure the physical inter connectivity, to
create clear accessibility conditions, to improve streetscape qualities and define parking strategies.

picturesque landscapes, lakes and many tourist sites. In 1567,
1.1 Background
when Mughal Empire was threatening Mewar and captured
Chittorgarh fort, Udai Singh built a large, six-kilometer long wall
to protect Udaipur from attacks. The wall had nine gates. These
gates served as a gateway that connected the old city to other
regions.
The city lies on the intersection point of East West Corridor, Golden
Quadrilaterll, National Highway (NH) 76 and National Highway
(NH) 8, midway between Delhi and Mumbai, located around 700
kilometres from either city. The East West Corridor which starts
from Porbandar and ends at Silchar is intersecting the Golden
Quadrilateral and shares the common space from Udaipur to Chittor.

Transportation Management Plan, Udaipur
Udaipur is the historic capital of the kingdom of Mewar in the former Rajputana Agency.
It was founded in 1558 by Maharana Udai Singh II of the Sisodia clan of Rajput] when he
shifted his capital from the city of Chittorgarh to Udaipur after Chittorgarh was besieged
by Akbar. It remained as the capital city till 1818 when it became a British princely state,
[4]
and thereafter the Mewar province became a part of Rajasthan when India gained
independence in 1947.
The city is located in the southernmost part of Rajasthan, near the Gujarat border. It is
surrounded by the Aravali Range, which separates it from the Thar Desert.
It is around 660 km from Delhi and approximately 800 km from Mumbai, placed almost
in the middle of two major Indian metro cities. Besides, connectivity with Gujarat ports
provide Udaipur a strategic geographical advantage. Udaipur is well connected with
nearby cities and states by means of road, rail and air transportation facilities,
including Maharana Pratap Airport. Common languages spoken
include Hindi, English and Rajasthani (Mewari).
The city lies on the intersection point of East West Corridor, Golden Quadrilateral,
National Highway (NH) 76 and National Highway (NH) 8, midway
between Delhi and Mumbai, located around 700 kilometres from either city. The East
West Corridor which starts from Porbandar and ends at Silchar is intersecting the Golden
Quadrilateral and shares the common space from Udaipur to Chittor. The roads in this
part of the country are paved and fit for private vehicles. One can either drive from Jaipur
(around 6 hours), Ahmedabad (4.1/2 hours) or Surat (9 hours) on NH 8 or Golden
Quadrilateral, from Kota (3 hours - EW Corridor or NH 76). Udaipur City Bus Depot has
lines running for the majority of other destinations in Rajasthan and farther north and
west towards Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. Apart from Rajasthan State Road Transport
Corporation (RSRTC), there are numerous private operators and companies providing
bus services to and from the other cities.

Chapter – 3
Traffic surveys and studies are an integral component of a comprehensive Traffic &
Transportation study. Appreciation of existing traffic and travel characteristics is
extremely important for developing comprehensive traffic and transportation plan. The
required surveys were carried out along with gathered secondary data from multiple
sources.
The baseline data, apart from helping in understanding the existing traffic and
transportation situation along with the problems and constraints, would help in
development, calibration and validation of the travel demand forecasting models.
Baseline data has been analyzed to provide the planning, transport and land use
information to form a basis for the proposals.
A number of traffic & transportation surveys were conducted as a part of the study in
order to assess the passenger and goods movement pattern, travel characteristics and the
available infrastructure facilities within the study area. The data collection activities
included traffic volume counts, origin destination surveys, road inventories, household
surveys, parking surveys, speed & delay surveys and pedestrian surveys.
The following primary traffic surveys were conducted for appreciating the existing traffic
and travel demand characteristics and to prepare the transport infrastructure improvement
plans:
1. Tourist survey
2. Road Inventory Survey
3. App Based Survey
4. Traffic Volume Count
5. Spot Speed Survey
6. Parking Survey
7. Speed & Delay Survey

The objective of this survey was to assess the physical characteristics and condition of
roads within the study area, identify physical constraints and bottlenecks, assess potential
capacity and to identify the extent for its future development/improvement.
The survey was conducted by travelling along the identified road network and by
collecting details on road characteristics by visual evaluation and physical measurements.
The data collected includes information on right -of-way available, carriageway width
and surface type, abutting land use, utility & services (on surface), o n-street parking and
condition of drains, ROW, traffic control and management measures and other special
features.
The objective of this survey is to understand the typical traffic situation of the study area
using an app i.e. Google Maps . By this we get to know the critical areas where we can
focus and try to solve the traffic issues there .
The survey was conducted using Google Maps and analyzing the typical traffic feature of
the application . The application uses different colors to indicate the intensity if traffic in
the area ( Maroon - Intense traffic , Red - Heavy Traffic , Orange Moderate Traffic ,
Green – Low traffic ) .
With this survey we identified the critical areas of our study area and then started
conducting our remaining primary surveys to analyze the areas in depth . The 8 entrance
gates of the city , which now function as traffic intersections & roads .

The main objective was to appreciate the parking demand and supply characteristics,
identify issues and constraints & suggest appropriate policies for meeting the demand.
The survey was conducted in order to assess the level of usage of on-street and off-street
parking facilities at selected locations where significant parking was observed. This
survey was vital as the major streets were encroached by parked vehicles in the market
areas causing a lot of traffic and increasing the trip journey .
The objective of this survey was to assess the speed and delay characteristics along the
existing road network, identify bottleneck locations and their probable causes.
Speed & Delay survey along the identified road network was carried out by `Moving Car
Observer Method' by traversing along the road sections, in the peak and off peak hours.
Information regarding number of vehicles overtaking the test car, overtaken by test car,
number of vehicles in opposite direction to the test car, journey and running time along
with cause and quantum of delay were recorded.

4.1 General
Traffic characteristics help in appreciating the spatial and temporal features of travel
within the area, relationship of traffic intensity with network capacity and the prevailing
level of service obtained on the road network in the study area.
This appreciation and understanding is essential for identifying the present conditions and
constraints, formulating suitable policies and strategies.
In order to appreciate the traffic and transport system characteristics, a number of field
traffic surveys (described in Chapter 3) were conducted within the study area. This
chapter presents the survey findings
For the present study, a detailed inventory of 68.5 km of road network consisting of
Arterials (8.5 km), Sub- arterial roads (10 Km) and Local roads (55 km) was carried out.

The main objective of traffic volume count was to assess the traffic characteristics in
terms of average daily traffic, hourly traffic variation, peak hour traffic, traffic
composition and directional distribution. The surveys were conducted manually, on a
normal working day, at peak hours pre-identified by an app based survey via google maps
at the major roads.
After conducting the survey 4 junctions ( Delhi Gate , Hathipole , Udaipole , and
Kishanpole ) , 3 T-Junctions and 1 Street were identified as the most critical spots.
Delhi Gate , Surajpole and Udaipole were the traffic hotspots.
The objective of this survey is to understand the typical traffic situation of the study area using an
app i.e. Google Maps . By this we get to know the critical areas where we can focus and try to
solve the traffic issues there .
The survey was conducted using Google Maps and analyzing the typical traffic feature of the
application . The application uses different colors to indicate the intensity if traffic in the area
( Maroon - Intense traffic , Red - Heavy Traffic , Orange Moderate Traffic , Green – Low
traffic ) .
With this survey we identified the critical areas of our study area and then started conducting our
remaining primary surveys to analyze the areas in depth . The 8 entrance gates of the city , which
now function as traffic intersections & roads .
Many vehicle types different in size and performance can be observed on Indian roads
occupying the same space. In addition to motorized vehicles presence of nonmotorized
vehicles such as animal/hand drawn, cycle etc, is a common sight. In order to express the
intensity of traffic, it would be convenient to express all these different vehicle types in
single unit terms.
For this purpose, ITC has recommended a set of Passenger Car Units (PCUs) for various
vehicle types considering their characteristics, both physical and mechanical. These
factors are different for rural and urban conditions.

The v/c ratio, also referred to as degree of saturation, represents the sufficiency of an
intersection to accommodate the vehicular demand.
A v/c ratio less than 0.85 generally indicates that adequate capacity is available and
vehicles are not expected to experience significant queues and delays. As the v/c ratio
approaches 1.0, traffic flow may become unstable, and delay and queuing conditions may
occur.
Once the demand exceeds the capacity (a v/c ratio greater than 1.0), traffic flow is
unstable and excessive delay and queuing is expected .

A term closely related to capacity and often confused with it is service volume. When
capacity gives a quantitative measure of traffic, level of service or LOS tries to give a
qualitative measure. A service volume is the maximum number of vehicles, passengers,
or the like, which can be accommodated by a given facility or system under given
conditions at a given level of service.
Traffic volume count surveys were conducted at 8 gates or entrances of the walled city
which now function as traffic intersections , on a typical working day at pre-identified
peak hours (identified by App Based Survey, i.e. 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM to 2:00
PM and 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM ) . After the survey was conducted, we analyzed the data for
V/C Ratio, Level of Service, Road Capacity, and then an average data was produced with
the help of baseline data.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
5.1 Introduction
Public transportation is a form of travel offered locally that enables more people to
travel together along designated routes. Typical examples of forms of public
transportation include buses, trains, and trams. High-speed rails, airlines, and coaches
dominate public transportation between cities.

Transportation Management Plan, Udaipur
The public transport in Udaipur consists of buses, autos and shared autos. The bus should
provide the major movement from place to place but due to lack of connectivity, para
transit takes the role of bus and provides point to point service instead of feeding to
public transport.
Numerous private buses operate from Udaipur for short and long distance travel.
Currently, an authorized private bus terminal does not exist. Therefore, the private buses
operate from on-street facilities near Udaipol, Surajpol and Delhi Gate junctions. The
route-wise distribution of RSRTC bus movement from Udaipur is as follows:
Udaipur is well connected by roads with the rest of the country: it is located along NH8
(Delhi-Mumbai) and NH76 along Chittorgarh, Dungerpur, and Banswara State

The absence of a robust public transport system in the city has paved the way for
conventional fossil fuels based IPT system in the city in the form of smaller and bigger
autos and tempos. At present 6,313 auto rickshaws operate in Udaipur city on an area
permit basis and another 2,637 tempos operate on 27 designated routes.7 Currently, the
IPT system in Udaipur is not organized properly and is also major source of emissions, as
these vehicles are old (40% of the overall IPT fleet is more than 10 years old) and do not
comply with the current emission norms.
In order to reduce the pollution levels of the city and to improve the mobility needs of the
city and also to introduce e- mobility in the city, Udaipur Municipal Corporation has
unveiled the operations of e- rickshaws in its smart city projects and also with support
from ICLEI- SA under their SDC funded Capa CITIES Project. However, the e- rickshaw
operations are still at nascent stage need more efforts in terms of better planning to scale
up the E Rickshaw initiative in Udaipur.
There no present auto stands in the city all the auto encroach area on road causing
bottlenecks on roads.
The shared autos travel on designated route by RTA, there are 27 routes and there are
many overlapping of routes. The frequency of shared auto is high, that 10 autos leaves the
point within every 5 minutes

The in-depth analysis of the data collected in the present study has enabled to assess
the existing transport system, traffic and travel characteristics of the study area based
on which certain issues have been identified. These issues are briefly presented in
The major problems which can be identified from this survey are-

The mean speed of vehicles is much less than that of the designed speed because
of traffic jams. The mean speed is less than half of the design speed.
Light commercial Vehicles like pickup trucks, tempo are the slowest while Two
wheeler was the fastest vehicle.
Commercial vehicles were comparatively slower than that of the private vehicles
i.e. Cars and two wheelers

• The roads of Udaipur are already narrow, on top of that autos stands on roads near
the tourist spot or market place which causes bottlenecks on certain points of
roads
• Buses on ply on the outer roads of Udaipur, only providing connectivity between
walled city and other nearby places. It only brings tourists to Udaipur and doesn’t
work within the city
• Shared autos doesn’t have proper stands, there is lack of monitoring over
registered autos in Udaipur which caused a lot of availability of autos causing
congestion

Proposals
7.1 Junction Redesign
51 | P a g e
Transportation Management Plan, Udaipur
It has been concluded through observations and data analysis that these issues are a result
of undefined available right of way for usage by different modes and functions (vehicular
movement, pedestrian movement etc.). Additionally, it is concluded that traffic
‘congestion’ at these junctions is not a result of capacity constraint but caused by friction
between motor vehicles and slow moving traffic (such as pedestrians and cyclists) as well
static activities such as street vending, all of which share the right of way with motorized
modes.
The main aim of this proposal is to redesign the major junction in the study area for
smoothening the traffic. The major points which we are considering in this proposal
includes identifying major issues faced at the junctions, solving the issues by
recommending various policies and proposing alternative solutions and recommending
policies for proper functioning and implementation of rules.
The major issues on our site is lack of pedestrian crossing, absence of street lights, poor
condition of footpaths. The junctions were also lacking at geometry so we tried to solve
this problem too in our designs .
Listed below is a brief list of standards and guidelines which have been followed
while
1. IRC Codes

Transportation Management Plan, Udaipur
7.2 NMT
Providing proper signages and street lights for road safety for the pedestrians and
cyclist.
Pedestrian crossing facilities like zebra crossings are provided on main intersections
7.2.1Cycle tracks
Cycling is one of the non-polluting modes in Udaipur walled city. In order to promote
the use of bicycles in Udaipur walled city, cycle tracks should be provided.
Bike sharing schemes help in promoting the Environmentally friendly NMT mode,
and also help in promoting tourism.
53 | P a g e
Transportation Management Plan, Udaipur
- Following measures have been proposed in walled city for improving NMT
1. Footpaths
Footpaths are designed for pedestrian level of service thereby providing wide
facilities for pleasant and comfortable walking
Min width of footpaths should be 1.8m. (source-IRC codes-2012) The footpaths
proposed are 2-3m wide.
Footpaths does not allow two-wheelers movements during congestion.
No obstructions on footpaths like open drainages
Roads proposed on main roads with provision of proper footpaths and street light
2. Cycle Paths
54 | P a g e
Transportation Management Plan, Udaipur
In order to promote the use of bicycles in Udaipur, cycle tracks are proposed.
Exclusive lanes for slow moving vehicles – bicycle and rickshaws are provided.
This improves the capacity of lanes designed for motorised vehicles and increase
safety for bicyclists.
Motorised vehicles are restricted in many market roads in the inner street
network.
• Cycle paths are provided on the inner street network of the walled city where
market places are present.
• The entry of motorised vehicles will be restricted on these roads since the roads
have been pedestrianised.
55 | P a g e
Transportation Management Plan, Udaipur
Considering the existing road conditions of walled city, the functioning of a proper bus
will cause problem, so to looking after proper functioning of buses within the city, we
can introduce mini buses for commuting within the different tourist spots
Mini buses will be suitable to use within the city, as the size of bus is desirable to move
within the city.
The bus route was proposed for whole Udaipur but not within the walled city, since the
roads cannot be widening therefore minibus can be introduced.
• Bus will ply on the outer roads of the city as they can’t travel within the city.
• Buses will be GPS enabled to track when they will be reaching the designated bus
stops in how much time.
• all the buses will be near the tourist spots as these buses specially work for
tourism oriented route covering all the tourist spot.
