 Preamble
1. Transportation planning is an integral part of
overall urban planning and needs systematic
approach.
2. Travel demand estimation is an important part of
comprehensive transportation planning process.
3. However, planning does not end by predicting
travel demand.
4. The ultimate aim of urban transport planning is to
generate alternatives for improving transportation
system to meet future demand and selecting the
best alternative after proper evaluation.

 Transport Planning Module

1. Developing a transport policy - issues to be

considered and options
2. Set up vision, goals and strategies for cities
towards achieving a livable atmosphere.
3. Understand the nuances of comprehensive
mobility planning studies; criteria for
planning (service level benchmarks) and
TDM as a strategy for improved mobility in
cities

 Transport Planning Process

1. Traditional way -model based, susceptible to

manipulation, may not be suitable for fast
growing cities with resource constraints.

2. Contemporary way - strategic planning

approach based on professional understanding
and public participation

 The Traditional Way Four Step Model:
1. Trip generation, based on production and
attraction factors

2. Trip distribution - growth factor models and

synthetic (gravity) models.

3. Modal split - choice of mode.

4. Trip assignment - which route? (leading to future

capacity analysis of roads)

 Vision
The transport vision statement should be in line with the
following:
1. Definition of sustainable transport system -'a transport
system where every individual or traveler category in a
city is able to fulfill their mobility needs in a quick,
affordable, safe, reliable, comfortable, energy efficient
and environmentally benign manner‘
2. The key focus area of NUTP- 'people should occupy
center- stage in our cities and all plans would be for
their common benefit and well being‘
3. The objectives of the National Mission on Sustainable
Habitat i.e. promote energy efficiency and reduce
emissions from transport sector

 The Plan - Basic Steps

1. Mobilization of human and material resources

and reconnaissance survey of the city

2. Primary and secondary surveys

3. Travel demand modeling (CUBE 4.1 model was

used)

4. Preparation of short term strategies

5. Preparation of alternative transport plans and
land use plans

6. Development of transport vision and strategy

(citizens groups adequately involved)

7. Development of project evaluation and

screening framework (provides a sound for
evaluating the impacts of plan proposals; includes
public involvement)
