Aim

To study the need and uses of multi- modal

transportation and the circulation involves in it .

Objective

To study and understand the transitional area

at multi-modal.

To determine the uses and requirement

associated with it.

To study in detail the interchange of the multi-

modal and the circulation involves in it .

To recommend design guidelines for

transitional area .

Scope

Primary study focus on uses of multi-modal

transportation hub.

The pattern of the movement of passenger in

multi - modal transportation .

The study of transitional area at modal

interface is restricted to that of different modes

of surface transport only.

Limitation of the study

Due to time constrain do not permit an in-

depth study of modal interface between Air &

water transport .

Due to time constrain do not permit the study

of freight multi-modal transportation.

Due to the complexity and scale of the

problem the detail study is not done .

Abstract

In our system for shortest paths from A to B where we combine two types of networks: The road network and the public transportation network . The result is a multi-modal network. we also minimize in combination with the number of transfers walking between and to stations.

It turns out that the time dependent approach is about four times faster in average when we only use travel time and the number of transfers as criteria costs.

Introduction

Transportation has been identified not only as a key sector in the economic development of a country, but also a prime generator of its urban form .

The main element in any modern transportation system are the network , the transportation system ,

the fixed facility and the passengers . Among these the fixed facility or the terminal play a pivotal role as the transport capacity of most agency is controlled by the abitity of their facility to process & handle the flow of passenger and good efficiency.

Need of study

The chaos that exists in most terminals today showsa lack of understanding of the very complexcharacteristics of interchange . There is a urgentneed to look into the design requirement of modelinterchange to make them safe, convenient andaesthetically pleasing.

Its is a fact that terminals due to a lack oforganisation & sensitive design consideration havebecome one of the major problem of thetransportation industry today . It should be notedthat problem associated with terminals in generalget compounded where intra-model and multi-modalinterchanges takes place simultaneously .

Need of study

This entire area comprises of the built form of

the terminal plaza , the parking area and all

other surrounding open and semi open spaces .

It is simply not enough to put up a building in

isolation . This entire transitional area at the

modal interface need to be addressed by

designing and planning .

Methodology

Litrature study :-

Characteristics of multi-modal in term of

purpose , time and distance.

1. Uses associated with interchange terminals.

2. Passenger amenity facility

3. Pedestrian and vehicular movement

4. Special requirement for the aged and

handicapped .

Parking characteristics and user habit in a

interchange Terminal

Definitions

Multimodal :- When more than one mode is

involved, each mode provides “access” to the

next in a chain connect the term ‘multimodal’ is

used to represent the system with more than

one mode, and the term ‘intermodal’ to

represent the connection between any two of

these elements. ting an origin to a destination.

Waiting :-This is defined as the duration

between the a user’s arrival to a transport

terminal and the actual entry into the vehicle

of the mode in question.

In-vehicle travel :- This is the duration of time

on the vehicle.

Transfer :- This is defined as the duration

between one getting out of the previous mode

and arriving at the entrance point of the

following mode.

Modes of Transport :- The method of transport

used for the movement e.g. by rail, road, sea

or air.

Means of Transport :- The vehicle used for

transport, e.g. ship, bus or aircraft.

Unimodal Transport :- The transport by one

mode of transport only, where each agencies

issues his own transport .

Case study

London

london’s overall public transport network is characterised by a well-established rail network complemented by an extensive bus network and a ferry network. These networks are integrated by multi-modal stations designed for ease of interchange for high volumes of passengers. At major stations, purpose built bus interchanges have been developed to be within walking distance of the railway and underground stations, often manned by bus station staff and furbished with real time information systems (e.g. Countdown – which shows the number of minutes until the next bus is due to arrive).

Case study

Hong Kong

Hong Kong public transport services include

railways, trams, buses, minibuses, taxis and

ferries. This results in very high public transit

mode share (90%) and very low vehicle

ownership rates (50 vehicles per 1000

population). Hong Kong transport services are

provided by several operators.

Case study

Singapore

Singapore is considered an international leader

in integrated multi-modal transport planning. It

established the world’s first area licensing and

electronic road pricing systems, and uses a

quota system to limit vehicle ownership. The

government makes continued investments in

transport infrastructure.

Conventional Transportation

Planning

A transport planning process typically includes the following steps:

Monitor existing conditions.

Forecast future population and employment growth, and identify major growth corridors.

Identify current and projected future transport problems and needs, and various projects and strategies to address those needs.

Evaluate and prioritize potential improvement projects and strategies.

Develop long-range plans and short-range

programs identifying specific capital projects and operational strategies.

Develop a financial plan for implementing the selected projects and strategies.

Multi-Modal Transportation

Planning

Multi-modal planning refers to planning that

considers various modes (walking, cycling

automobile, public transit, etc.) and

connections among modes.

1. Traffic impact studies evaluate traffic impacts

and mitigation strategies for a particular

development or project.

2. ocal transport planning develops municipal

and neighborhood transport plans.

3. Regional transportation planning develops plans for a metropolitan region.

4. Strategic transportation plans develop long-range plans, typically 20-40 years into the future

5. Corridor transportation plans identify projects and programs to be implemented on a specific corridor, such as along a particular highway, bridge or route.

6. Mode- or area-specific transport plans identify ways to improve a particular mode.

Passenger Requirement

Minimum transfer time and distance between

modes by providing efficient circulation system

vertical movement facilities – Lift , escalators ,

ramps staircase etc.

Horizontal movement facilitators conveyor belt ,

walkway moveable platform etc.

Special care should be taken to enable easy

movement for the handicapped, aged, pregnant

etc.

Comfort weather protection seating / resting

facilities , refreshment toilets , phone booth ,

adequate illumination etc.
