INTERCITY & INTRACITY TRAFFIC
Facility oriented organization are involved in planning; designing; constructing;
maintaining & operating fixed facilities

• Operation organization “ carriers” concerned with operating fleets to provide

transportation services [Railroads; airlines; ships; truck lines; transit operator; private
car owner, etc]

• Operating bases and facilities for vehicle maintenance facilities

Highly qualitative and differentiated [By time of the day; day of the week; journey
purpose and type of cargo)

• It is derived and transport is not an end by itself. People are travelling in order to
satisfy their needs at their destinations and for the seek of transport

• It takes place over space [the distribution of activities over space]. The spatiality
of demand leads to problem of lack of coordination which affect equilibrium
between demand and supply
INTERCITY TRAFFIC
Travel and Connect urbanized areas

Characteristics: Long trips, no stubs, high speed, widely spaced, full/partial

access control

• The intra-city or urban distribution of freight is predominantly accomplished

by highway subsystem using vans; trucks.

• The major movement within urban areas are related to passenger transport.

• Water transport is found within urban areas, it is related to passenger

transport.

• Air transportation is unsuited for urban travel

• Transport means available for urban travel are land based regardless of being
private or public.

• Mode of transport in urban, heavy rail; light rail, bus

TRANSPORT MODES

Highways are the most dominant mode of transport in most countries of the
world including Jordan.

• The highway system is used by private vehicles; truck lines; bus lines.

• Highway systems serves intercity passengers; freight transportation; urban

passenger transport & distribution of goods.
• Very high accessibility to almost all potential destination

• Direct service with very low-to-door travel time

• Moderate line haul speed & capacities

• Capital costs of physical facilities are moderate

• Vehicle used are small & cheep to be owned by individual compared to all other
mode.

• Total investment of physical facilities & vehicle is high

• Operating cost is high

• Environmental impact of the system as a whole are high and of major concerns
of societie
 TRAINS

INTER STATE BUS TERMINAL

INTRA CITY TRAFFIC
Functions: carry most trips entering/leaving urban area, serve intra-urban trips, carry
intra-urban and intercity bus routes, provide continuity to rural arterials

Characteristics: longest distance routes and highest volume, high speed, spacing is
less than 1 km in CBD and greater than 8 km in urban fringe, full/partial
access control

Subclasses: interstates, other freeways and expressways, other principal arterials with
partial access control

Minor Arterials
Functions: interconnect with and augment principal arterials, accommodate moderate
length trips, distribute traffic, carry local buses, provide intra-community continuity,
connect to urban collectors

Characteristics: moderate trip length high volumes, moderate speeds, spacing 0.2
to1.0 km in CBD and 3 to 5 km in suburbs

Collectors
Functions: Provide traffic circulation within residential neighborhoods and
industrial/commercial areas, collect traffic from locals and channel to arterials, carry
local buses, provide some direct land access

Characteristics: Shorter than minor arterials, moderate speeds, spacing intermediate

to arterials, penetrates residential neighborhoods

Subclasses: major and minor

• It is a specialized mode. It includes traditional mass transit modes [Buses, street
cars, light rail, rapid rail transit & para-transit]

• Tram “street car”: Vehicles received their power from overhead power. They are
operating on tracks sharing the roadway with cars and buses

• Light rail: A term embracing a wide range of electrical powered vehicle running
on steel rails (metro). Passengers board from road surface or low plat form. It
operated along street but maybe provided with exclusive right of wa
• Rapid rail transit system called metro is the underground tube operate on
exclusive R.O.W and relatively high speeds & provide highest line capacity
available.
• Para-transit: A term applies to small passenger vehicles operating informally on
fare-paying basis & serving in some places as an alternative to regular bus transit
services

• Line haul speeds vary a great deal(Bus are slow where rapid rail transit has quite
high speed.

• Door-to-door travel time are greater than those of automobiles with an exception
in CBD.

• Accessibility depend on route & stop station spacing but in general it is less than
of private car.

• Capacities are high.

• Capital costs of rail system are high (both physical facilities & vehicles)

• Operating costs for both bus and rail system are moderate but operating costs per
trip is almost higher than dare.

• Environmental impact are regarded as being less than those of private cars.

Master Plan of Chandigarh

The city roads have been divided
into 7 V’s which cater to the road
traffic. The road network is as
follows:-

➢V1 – It brings the traffic from

outside the city the city. It is
known as ARTERIAL INTER-
STATE ROADS.

➢V2 – Two arteries of the city

MADHYA MARG AND JAN
MARG.

➢V3 – They are the SECTOR

DEFINERS and bind the city on
four sides.

➢V4 – This runs through the

shopping center in each sector
and runs across to connect V3 on
both sides.
The 7 V’s were established 10 years
➢V5 – It is the loop road going
round in the interior of the sector. ago at the request of UNESCO to try
➢V6 – This is the access lane to to constitute and eventual acceptable
the houses. proposition of urbanisms for general
world applications.
➢V7 & V8 – Meandering through
the green spaces they are the
pedestrian paths, cycle tracks
throughout the city.
