CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BRIEF DESCRIPTION.

THIS IS A STATION IN THE WESTERN SUBURBAN RAILWAY LINE.

THIS STATION IS PREDOMINENTLY CHOSEN TO STUDYAND PREVENT

TRESPASSING THAT OCCURS LARGELY AT THE LEVELING CROSSING ADJACENT

TO THE SOUTHERN END OF THE PLATFORMS.

THIS STATION HAS IN ALL FOUR PLATFORMS.

KANDIVALI WEST IS LARGELY POPULATED AS COMPARED TO KANDIVALI EAST.

THERE IS A RAILWAY YARD ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE STATION WHICH IS

USED BY PEOPLE TO TRESPASS TO POISAR VILLAGE BEYOND THE YARD IN THE

EAST.

THERE ARE 2 FOBS. ONE AT SOUTHERN END AND OTHER AT MIDDLE OF

PLATFORM LENGTH.

THERE IS ONE ELEVATED TICKET WINDOW ON THE SOUTHERN FOB IN THE EAST.

THERE ARE TWO TICKET WINDOWS IN THE WEST

THE MAGNITUDE OF TRESPASSING PROBLEM AND THE REASONS OF TRESPASSING

AT KANDIVLI STATION HAVE BEEN STUDIED AT INCEPTION REPORT STAGE WHICH

HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO MRVC AND ALSO SUBMITTED AS INCEPTION REPORT.




1.2 PRIMARY SURVEY. THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS INDICATE THE OBSERVED TRESPASSING LOCATIONS.

Like you, this man too, had a dream.

Like you, he too pushed his way into the crowded train.

Like you, he too wanted to get going before he got

delayed.

But unlike you, he slipped and fell in the gap

between the train and the platform at Kandivali

stationand eight bogies went over him.

Within seconds the 12-coach train passed and the

man somehow came out, unhurt, but too shocked

to speak after his near-death experience.

Kandivali is one of the most populated areas in the

suburbs of Mumbai. The population is exploding.

Out of the 4, only 2 platforms take the maximum

load of the commuters.

The access points which are blocked have been

customized in order to serve the trespassers.




Platform no.4 has only 2 proper entrance/exit points.

Both are at the extreme ends of the platforms. And

mainline trains come mainly on platforms 1 and 2.

Thus east side residents find trespassing convenient.

As the railway has not provided people with

appropriate entrances, people find their way out on

their own. People do not find these entrances illegal

and if asked about exit points, they count these ones

in!

The closed level crossing now leaves huge unused area at the south end of platform no.2/3 where

trespassers wait while a train passes.




1.3 REASONS OF TRESPASSING AT KANDIVALI

THE HEIGHT OF THE FOB IS VERY HIGH AND HENCE IS UNCOMFORTABLE EVEN FOR

NORMAL HEALTHY PERSON TO USE IT.

NUMBERS OF FOBS ARE INSUFFICIENT TO CATER TO THE PEAK HOUR NEEDS OF

PASSENGER TRAFFIC LEADING TO LOT OF OVERCROWDING ON THE FOB ITSELF.

LACK OF FACILITIES FOR PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED PEOPLE & SENIOR CITIZENS;

LIKE ESCALATOR, RAMP, ETC.

SMALL RAMP AT BOTH THE ENDS OF THE PLATFORM ALSO ENCOURAGES

TRESPASSING.

LAST MINUTE ANNOUNCEMENT OF CHANGE IN THE PLATFORM SCHEDULE FOR

ARRIVAL / DEPARTURE OF THE TRAIN.

HUMAN SETTLEMENT ALONG THE TRACK ALSO LEADS TO REGULAR TRESPASSING

BY THE INHABITANTS.

EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE MEDICAL EMERGENCY, PERSON WITH HEAVY

LUGGAGE, ETC. LEADS TO COMPULSORY TRESPASSING.

RAG PICKERS ARE REGULAR TRESPASSERS.

INADEQUATE HEIGHT OF FENCING BETWEEN TRACKS ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO

JUMP FROM PLATFORM ON TO THE TRACK & CLIMB THE FENCING TO REACH THE

OTHER PLATFORM, THUS LEADING TO SERIOUS TRESPASSING.

POOR CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN EAST AND WEST NEAR LEVEL-CROSSING. FOR EG.

FLYOVERS, SKYWALKS, ETC. THE TIME TAKEN TO CROSS FROM EAST TO WEST AND

VICE-VERSA USING FLYOVER IS VERY HIGH DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC LEADING OR

FORCING PEOPLE TO USE LEVEL- CROSSING.

NO PROPER ACCESS PROVIDED TO HUMAN SETTLEMENTS DUE TO WHICH RESIDENTS

HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE RAILWAY TRACK CAUSING SERIOUS TRESPASSING.




CHAPTER 2

IDENTIFICATION OF TROUBLE SPOTS

A DETAILED STUDY FOR IDENTIFICATION OF TROUBLE SPOTS WAS CARRIED OUT

BY OUR TEAM WITH RESPECT TO AFOREMENTIONED REASONS FOR TRESPASSING.

2.1 A0IDENTIFIED TROUBLE SPOTS.

a. LEVEL-CROSSING AT THE SOUTH END OF THE STATION

b. IN THE VICINITY OF NORTH SIDE ENTRANCE BETWEEN PLATFORM NO 1 & 2.

NEAR THE MAIN TICKET WINDOW.

c. UNDER THE FOB NEAR THE MIDDLE OF PLATFORM NO.4

d. NORTH END OF THE PLATFORM NO.1 AND 2/3.




2.2DRAWING INDICATING TROUBLE SPOT IDENTIFIED TROUBLE SPOTS BASED ON ABOVE STUDY HAVE BEEN INDICATED IN THE

DRAWING NO:-

CHAPTER 3

SOLUTIONS

3.1 INTRODUCTION THE MAGNITUDE OF THE TRESPASSING PROBLEM AND THE REASONS OF TRESPASSING

AT KANDIVLI STATION HAVE BEEN STUDIED AT INCEPTION REPORT STAGE WHICH

HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO MRVC AND ALSO SUBMITTED AS INCEPTION REPORT.

IN PREVIOUS CHAPTER, TROUBLE SPOTS HAVE BEEN IDETIFIED WITH RESPECT TO

KANDIVALI STATION. HENCE SOLUTIONS TO DISCOURAGE TRESPASSING HAVE BEEN

WORKED OUT KEEPING IN MIND THE FOLLOWING FIVE MAIN POINTS:

FOB

RAILING

R.C.C. WALL

GREEN PATCH

RE-ORGANIZATION OF BUILT SPACES




3.2SOLUTIONS TO DISCOURAGE TRESPASSING AT KANDIVALI:

1. BARRICADES SHOULD BE PROVIDED BETWEEN ALL THE PLATFORMS EXTENDING

UPTO 100M ON NORTH AND SOUTH END OF THE STATION.

2. PROVIDE AN F.O.B. AT THE NORTHERN END JOINING ALL PLATFORMS.

PEOPLE TRESPASS FROM NORTHERN END OF PLATFORM NO. 1 TO 2/3 AND 4.

THIS IS BECAUSE MAJORITY OF THE BUS STOPS ARE LOCATED JUST OUTSIDE THE NORTH END OF

PLATFORM NO.1 LEADING TO PEOPLE USING THIS ENTRANCE.

3. PROVIDE TICKET WINDOW AT NORTHERN ENTRANCE/ EXIT AT PLATFORM NO.1

AT THE EXISTING TOILET SPACE.

SINCE THERE IS NO TICKETING FACILTY AVAILABLE AT THE AFOREMENTIONED ENTRANCE,

PASSENGERES ARE FORCED TO WALK TILL THE TICKET COUNTER AT THE MIDDLE ENTRANCE.

4. PROVIDE GREEN PATCH (50M) BEYOND NORTHERN END OF PLATFORM NO.1

TO PROHIBIT PEOPLE FROM ALIGHTING DOWN ONTO THE TRACKS.

5. PROVIDE GREEN PATCH (100M) BEYOND NORTHERN END OF PLATFORM NO. 2/3

TO PREVENT TRESPASSING FROM PLATFORM NO.2/3 TO 4 TOWARDS EASTERN SETTLEMENTS.

6. PROVIDE GREEN PATCH BEYOND THE SOUTHERN END OF PLATFORM NO.1, 2/3

AND 4 BY 100M.

7. EXTENDING THE EXISTING SKYWALK IN THE EAST TOWARDS WEST AND

CONNECT IT TO EXISTING SOUTHERNMOST F.O.B (ALREADY UNDER-

CONSTRUCTION)

THIS WILL REOPEN THE BROKEN LINK BETWEEN EAST AND WEST,CAUSED BY THE CLOSURE OF

THE LEVEL CROSSING.

8. WIDEN THE SOUTHERN F.O.B. BY 6M.

SO AS TO CAPACITATE MORE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO USE THE AMENITY.

9. PROVIDE CONTINUOUS COMPOUND WALL ON THE EAST AND WEST OF THE PLATFORMS THIS WILL PREVENT PEOPLE FROM TRESPASSING.

10. RAILING AT NORTH END OF PLATFORM NO.4.

EXISTING AMENITIES:

1. PLATFORM NO.1- FOUR COMMERCIAL STALLS, TWO DRINKING WATER, ONE

TOILET, ONE BOOK STALL.

2. PLATFORM NO.2/3- TWO TOILETS.




SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS/ADDITIONS AMENITIES:

1. SHOW SIGNAGES

2. SHIFT ATM AND RELOCATE STALLS AT PLATFORM NO.1. TICKET HOUSE SHOULD

BE WIDENED NEAR RAILWAY QUARTERS.




3.3DRAWING INDICATING SOLUTIONS PROPOSED SOLUTIONS BASED ON ABOVE STUDY HAVE BEEN INDICATED IN THE

DRAWINGS AS SHOWN IN DRAWING NO:-

JJC/MRVC/S/KAN_1.




3.43D SKETCHES INDICATING SOLUTIONS FOR BETTER APPRECIATION OF THE 2D DRAWINGS, 3D SKETCHES HAVE BEEN

PREPARED INDICATING THE PROPOSED SOLUTION.

EXTENDING THE EXISTING SKYWALK IN THE EAST TOWARDS WEST AND CONNECT

IT TO EXISTING SOUTHERNMOST F.O.B.




PROVIDE AN F.O.B. AT THE NORTHERN END JOINING ALL PLATFORMS.




CHAPTER 4
