DELHI
PROJECT BRIEF
• LOCATION : Anand Vihar,Delhi.
• ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL : Delhi Division of
the Northern Railway zone of the Indian Railways.
• AREA : 99500 sq.m. [100 acres (OR) 42 Hectares].
• PLATFORMS : 7
• CURRENT INTERSTATE OPERATING ROUTES : 51
• INAUGURATED : 19 December 2009.
• CURRENT NO. OF DESTINATIONS : 88
• INTERSTATE CONNECTIVITY : 5 STATES - Punjab,
Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan.

• Anand vihar is a huge

TRANSIT HUB in delhi.

• The railway terminal

has a footfall of
1,00,000 passengers
per day.
WHAT IS

TRANSIT HUB ?
• A transit hub (OR) transport hub
(also transport interchange) is a
place where PASSENGERS & CARGO 
are exchanged between vehicles
and/or BETWEEN TRANSPORT MODES
such as bus stops, tram stops ,airports ,
rail terminals.

• Anand Vihar is a transit Hub located in East Delhi, where the THREE
MODES of transportation (RAILWAYS, METRO AND BUS
TERMINUS) meet within a distance of 50 m.
LOCAL
RAILWAY
• The railway terminal is integrated with the STATION

Anand Vihar Inter State Bus Terminal ANAND VIHAR

RAILWAY
(Vivekananda Bus Terminal) and the Anand TERMINAL

Vihar Metro station, thus transforming it

into a MAJOR
TRANSPORTATION HUB of
DELHI. ANAND VIHAR
ISBT BUS
ANAND VIHAR
METRO STATION
 PURPOSE OF
TRANSIT HUB….
• The interchange facility at Anand
Vihar Transit Hub enables the
passengers getting
off from trains to take the Metro to almost any part of the city.
• Besides, the bus terminal at anand vihar that connects Delhi with many
neighbouring states including Uttar Pradesh & uttarakhand , has a huge benefit
from the interchange station.

BENEFITS OF TOD
• PUBLIC TRANSIT provides a
basic mobility service to people
without access to a car.... Public
transportation also helps to
reduce road congestion and
travel times, air pollution, and
energy and oil consumption, all
of which benefit both riders and
non-riders alike.
CONTEXT STUDY
• Density of passengers travel by local train/ EMU’s is very high.
• Maximum of number of passengers (mainly office goers and college
students) travel by train between Ghaziabad and Delhi (as it has a good
connectivity and also a cheaper mode of transport).

• So many number of people interchange their mode of

transport at Anand Vihar.
• In recent
years, Anand
Vihar has
evolved as a
major transit
hub in Delhi.

• Now it is evolving (as a

Multi-modal Transit
Hub) itself to be more
efficient in future.

The pedestrian routes created by the
people is only occupied during the local
train timings.

Multiple functions at bay area Like

shops , ticketing , waiting etc. leads the
space to excessive crowd.

As this in an intersection point ,the place

is very chaotic due to the presence of
hawkers, pedestrians, and vehicles etc.
HISTORY &
EVOLUTION • The long-distance trains
from Delhi used to ply from
three stations namely Delhi
Junction (Old Delhi), New
Delhi and Hazrat
Nizamuddin Railway
Stations.

• These stations lacked the

infrastructure facilities to
handle such high passenger
rush. Also, Delhi is the
connecting station for the
cities in the Northern
states Punjab, Haryana, Hima
chal Pradesh, Uttar
Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Ja
mmu and Kashmir.
DEVELOPMENT
PROCESS….
PHASE - 1
• Phase 1 had two-storey railway station with just 3
platforms, 1 coach maintenance yard and feeder lines to
the Sahibabad Junction & it took over 5 years to
complete.

• The first phase was expected to be completed by 2006

and got completed by year 2009.

• Gradually some more trains were shifted from New

Delhi and other stations to Anand Vihar.

• The new terminal also helped to relieve congestion on roads

into New Delhi, reducing the load of a million people daily
entering the city.
PHASE – 2
• In this phase the number of platforms will be increased to
seven in total .

• This terminal was expected to be one of the largest railway

stations catering to all East–bound trains from Delhi.

• Phase II of the Anand Vihar makeover involves linking this

terminal with the original Anand Vihar station (ANVR)
which is a roadside station. 

• The total cost of the terminal is estimated to be around ₹240

crore including the phase I.

• There is also a FOOT-OVER BRIDGE (FOB) for

pedestrians which connects the railway station to the Delhi
metro station at Anand Vihar.

• The FOB is a current structure not capable for handling

traffic.
 ISSUES : ANALYSIS
• 500m stretch between the entry point of anand vihar
(ISBT) and the railway station on Chaudhary Charan
Singh Marg is a bottleneck.

• More than half of the carriageway is occupied by

roadway buses.

• little-used, foot over bridge in the area.

• Excessive parking of autoricshaws on the sides of the road

and improper maintenance of foot pavement for the use of
pedestrians.

• 3-wheelers are parked on the

stretch to pick up passengers
coming from the railway
station.
• Users complained that foot
over bridge is too narrow of
pedestrians moving on it in
both directions.
 1. CONGESTION on Road
(only approach road to Railway
Station) due to single entry/exit to
complex, pedestrian dispersal,
Hawkers and Station bound traffic.
2. LONGER WALKING DISTANCES
for passengers to interchange /
dispersal.
• No direct connection
• Passengers commute through punctures in boundary wall –
informal access
• Uncomfortable for women, children, elderly as well as
travellers with heavy luggages
REDEVELOPMENT
• Integrated Pedestrian connectivity
TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS
• Delhi transportation is heavily depend upon road network therefore high
congestion occurs at most of the main junction.
• Buses continue to be the most popular means of transportation for intra-
city travel.
• Delhi and NCR lose nearly 42 crore man hours , every month while
commutating between home and office.
• Therefore serious effort are underway for other mode of transport
project like metro to encourage usage of public transport in the city ,as a
result load on road network can became less.

ISBT TO RAILWAY
Nearly 3500-5000 people approx. Per hour

It takes about 30 minutes to cross the stretch during the peak hour. Also the three – wheelers are parked on this stretch
to pickup passengers coming from the railway station.
CIRCULATION
• The circulation system was connecting all the three ( ISBT, metro, railway station.
• The lanes were separated for all the vehicles like bus, private cars, taxi , auto- rickshaw etc..
• For both 2 wheelers and cars basement parking is available.
• Also there is separate bridge for pedestrain table-top crossing. According to the analysis by this method of
circulation there will be 60% of traffic will be controlled.
Due to the truck and buses like load vehicles most of the traffic jam was happen.
Here there is separate road and parking were provided to reduce the traffic
NO. OF PARKINGS
• The station parking bays are calculated based on the traffic surveys and forecast .
• The parking bays required for the station is for 686 ecs and the proposed will be 902 ecs.

stations.
The resolution
As the functions were brought together, a
common concourse was formed. This space has
huge potential, and became the driving force for
the way ahead. The concourse was raised up to a
different level, and shaped as a public space,
where people could come together, through the
medium of common activities. An uninterrupted
pedestrian network in and around the site was
created.

The common concourse is the first image of the

city to travellers, a platform for public
interaction, and a space which generates
collective memory amongst people.
