congestion and traffic management
DESCRIPTION
Due to rapid increase in number of vehicles, especially private vehicles and degrading nature of public transportation, congestion is almost unavoidable. This presentation deals with cause, effect and solution of congestion along with what should be the traffic management schemes to deal with this sort of problem in long term.TRANSCRIPT

Economic Impact of Congestion
•Traffic Congestion cost of US cities rangesbetween USD 35 billion to USD 48 billion.
•Traffic jams cost Moscow USD 1.3 billion a year.
•Traffic congestion costs the South Africanbusiness USD 18 billion a year.
•Traffic congestion in Dhaka eats up USD 3billion a year.

Time loss due to congestion
More than 1000 million passengers
travel by road every day, worldwide.
If a passenger lose 1 minute
everyday , in traffic congestion,
total annual time loss is
700,000 YEARS !!!(Source: Er. C.J. Johnson MIE)

Thus Investment to reduce
traffic congestion is
INEVITABLE and
JUSTIFIABLE

Why Traffic Management
•Not enough roads
•Cannot keep constructing new roads

improvements
Implement
measures
Monitor & fine-tune or
adjust measures
Consult
stakeholders
Secure efficient and
safe flow of people
and goods through
the road network
Conduct
information drive

Our present strategy - Dog chasing its
own tail
Road space will never catch up with
vehicle population.

The solution
Replace private transport with public
transport.
This is the only solution that will work in the long
term.

Public Transportation Should:
•Be Safe, Fast, Systematic and reliable
•Have good comfort and security level.
•Fixed Operating characteristics (Definite stop and stop duration, fixed time table)
•High accessibility
• Economical as well as environmental friendly
