 Global Scenario
• World over, more than 1.35 million people die and
up to 50 million people incur non-fatal injuries
annually as a result of road crashes.
• 85% of world’s road fatalities occur in low- and
middle- income countries.
• The economic cost of road crashes and injuries is
estimated to be 1% of gross national product
(GNP) in low-income countries, 1.5% in middle-
income countries and 2% in high-income
countries.
• The global cost is estimated to be US$ 518 billion
per year. Low-income and middle-income
countries account for US$ 65 billion, more than
they receive in development assistance

 What is Transportation System?

A transportation system may be defined as consisting of

fixed facilities, the flow entities and the control system tha
permit people and goods to overcome the friction of
geographical space efficiently in order to participate in a tim
manner in some desired activity

CE 413 UTP 20
 Evolution of Understanding : Land Use And
Transport

• Urban Traffic is a function of land use.

Mitchel and Rapkin(1954)
• Different kind of land use generate different amounts
and kinds of Traffic
• The Pattern Traced By Traffic is closely related to the
manner in which building are arranged.
Buchanan, 1963
• Commuter flows are closely dependent up on the
location and size of the work place and of the home
areas.

 Urbanisation

• Physical growth of rural land into an urban area or the

expansion of an urban area

• Census definition:
 All statutory places with a municipality, corporation,
cantonment board or notified area committee, etc
 A place satisfying three conditions simultaneously
• A minimum population of 5000
• At least 75 per cent of male working population
engaged in non-agricultural pursuits
• A density of population of at least 400 persons per
sq. km.

CE 413 UTP 33
 Urbanization: Process

• Transformation of rural characteristic of people, their

activities and their settlements to urban ones.
• Concentration of people engaged in non-agricultural
activities and land use
• Movement away from tradition in the direction of
modernity.
• Shift of economy from agrarian to industrial, commercial,
trade, etc.
• A change of lifestyle from informal to formal
• A sign of material well-being, in terms of the physical
comforts
• Tools of production from the manual to the mechanical.
• A change of opportunities, including cultural interests,
employment, etc
• Principles of 'pull' & ‘push’
 URBANISATION & TRANSPORT DEMAND

• Economic Growth – Industrialisation – Urban Growth – Transport Demand

Growth

• Urban Areas : Growth Engines: 55% to 85% share in GDP

• Rural – Urban Migration

• Average URGD (1951 – 2001) : 1.22 %

• Trip Rate increment: 2 – 2.5% p.a.

• Simultaneous densification and expansion in spatial dimension

• Changes in the socio economic characteristics of city households, land

use and travel pattern.

CE 413 UTP 35
 Main Problems Related To Urban Transportation and
Traffic
† Unplanned, haphazard development at the suburban
fringe without adequate infrastructure, transport, and
other public services.

† Limited network of roads, often narrow, poorly

maintained, and unpaved.

† Extremely congested roads with an incompatible mix

of both motorized and non-motorized vehicles
traveling at widely different speeds.

CE 413 UTP 36
† Primitive or non-existent traffic control and
management, often without even the most basic
street signage.

† Extremely high and rapidly rising traffic fatalities,

especially among pedestrians and motorcyclists.

† Overcrowded, uncomfortable, undependable, slow,

uncoordinated, inefficient, and dangerous public
transport.

CE 413 UTP 37
• † Rapidly increasing ownership and use of private cars
and motorcycles.

• † Inadequate roadway accommodations for buses and

non-motorized transport.

• † Extremely high levels of transport-related pollution,

noise and other environmental impacts, especially in
large cities.
