CHAPTER NO.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction:
India is second biggest populated nation of the world. So Indian face extensive activity issues. Also, the most movement issues make at crossing point.

1.2 Aim:
Aim of the our project is to provide better facility to pedestrian in existing structure and make traffic free roads with speeds transportation by provide pedestrian over bridge.
1.3 Objective:
• To study about exiting pedestrian flow characteristics based on hourly volume variation and saturation flow.
• Provide pedestrian facility in existing structure.
• Avoid accidents.
• Make transportation Speedy.
• Provide signals and divert traffic with planning.
• Provide traffic distribution system which help to minimize problems specially for people to crossing the road.
1.4 Need of the pedestrian transportation system
Walking is a basic human activity and an integral part of day to day life yet it needs To have safe and comfortable pedestrian circulation it is necessary to go for development of pedestrian facilities like,
• Provide foot over bridge and footpaths to increase passenger capacity and safety.
• Safe facilities for walking and crossing the road should be provided that will be used maximum by all people.
• Pedestrian spaces should be designed in consideration of human convenience and have to be qualitatively suitable to the needs of human beings.
Steel used in bridge
Steel used for bridges may be grouped into the following three categories:
Carbon Steel: This is the cheapest steel available for structural users where stiffness is more important than the strength. Indian steels have yield stress values up to 250 N/mm2 and
Beyond the road reconstruction, in 2012, out of all traffic death, pedestrians accounted for 16.16% which is the 5th highest in the nation and 3rd highest in the child pedestrian fatality rate.3 This indicates that the state and city developers need to take in account more pedestrian and cycling safety measures in their city planning and
Pedestrianisation is the oldest form of human transportation. With the exception of devices to improve the disabled mobility. it is the most affordable and accessible mode.( Sisman,2013 ).
The Manual instructs the Public street-scape design is not just for moving cars and should follow a small list of important ideas that support their role as public spaces.
With the constrained scenario, traffic flow has improved, commute time has decreased, workers are getting to their places of business faster, and the businesses themselves are finding that they can transport their goods in a more timely fashion. The measures that were employed consist of adding directional bike lanes to the bridge, restriping the bridge combined with timed directional transition of the middle 5th lane, additional bus routes, and converting old buildings into domiciles. Although these measures have helped to improve traffic flow in the region, capital will have to be spent at a future date in order to add additional
At the present moment, the city is in dire need of modifying other means of transportation in order to minimize heavy traffic congestion that we have experienced over the past year. With a new institution of higher learning opening up traffic will get worse once students start enrolling in college come next spring. Therefore, our immediate attention has been focused on addressing this issue so that we can come up with a permanent solution without scapegoating or externalizing the
It would allow residents to easily cross the road without having to worry about the cars and buses that are constantly zooming along the road. Until the plans are approved residents are stuck running across the road, illegally jaywalking in a break of traffic.
One solution to the problem would be adding auxiliary lanes, where there are lanes between exits. However, it would be expensive, but not as much as a full widening. Another option is a VMS messaging system which would not cost very much. I am recommending both because of the seriousness of the problem.
Highway 12/18 is a major highway that passes through the town. Nonetheless, there are several other streets and side roads in the community. Majority of these streets, and roads, besides, highway 12/18 passing through town, are worked on constantly to keep them decent for driving. However, the side roads and street often needs repair, principally, those that are in the older neighborhoods, nonetheless, those that in the newer neighborhoods are in better condition. Just like the roads, and streets, is the same with the streetlights. There are also handicap accessible sidewalks, parking spaces in both public and business locations. Additionally, there are several bridges around the community that connects streets and over path. Be it for walking or crossing. The sidewalks, bike lanes, walk paths and bike paths are for the most part in decent condition.
More and more students are being accepted into Cal Poly every year and the campus is building more on-campus housing to accommodate for this new population of students and to encourage students to stay on-campus. This increase of students causes many problems because already the classes are impacted, the parking lots are impacted, and the streets are impacted. According to Cal Poly’s Campus Master Plan, even more housing will be built on campus by repurposing lands instead of expanding. If this is the case, then we would have to make the small space we have perform more efficiently and safely to accommodate for the future population. Therefore, the issue I would like to tackle in particular is the pedestrian safety on roads with
The plan that we have created includes many different kinds of infrastructures. Firstly, we have lots of public space, situated especially in central and accessible parts our our
Roads and bridges are marked to visually identify the traffic lanes and shoulder space, also stopping and merging points. Pedestrians crosswalk will be painted in hatched patterns also speed bumps will also act as indication to upcoming crosswalks.
As addresses the specific part of pedestrian safety that was observed was Crosswalks. Crosswalks are typically denoted by two painted white lines running parallel with bars painted in-between them that
“The key word for transportation in the 21st is choice” by Anthony Foxx. Nowadays, transportation is vital to everyone in the world. In this century, there are many types of transportation such as car, motorcycle and bus. Statistic on 2013, show that people who use public transport had increased than people who use their own transport. From this statistic we know that people mostly like to use public transport than their own transport. For that reasons, we find the comparison between public transport and own transport. There are five features like number of people in one transport, safety, time, cost, and the bad effect on people health that we can compared between them.
We will be destroying some natural land to make the city and the buildings we want, but we plan to use very little pollution. The moving walkway may be a little hazardous because the elderly may not be able to step on and off at the perfect time, and may hurt themselves. Also, the computer systems may malfunction and tell the doctors the wrong thing, and how to treat that disease wrong. The button for the crossing may not
The design strategy for a skywalk at the Royal Oak Campus entails the use of ramps and steps rising to 5 meters and ramps having a gradient of 1:10.The skywalk will link the faculty parking and the college with a 3metres wide ramp,5 meters wide steps and a slab width of 6500 meters 500metres above the ground level with a building line on each side of 6 meters. Pedestrians and cyclists will use the proposed Skywalk it will be situated to allow pedestrians to cross Washington Avenue because there are no nearby roads to necessitate a road for access. This will let pedestrians cross safely without slowing down the traffic. Upon the approval of the design proposal, our architect designed a skywalk for Washington Avenue. The designer worked on this project over the course of seven weeks. The architect interviewed ten people on the preferred features of the proposed skywalk. A survey was also undertaken on the zoning information for the city of Washington in order to determine the maximum garage size possible. The plan designer compiled the clients’ information as well as the zoning information to determine the actual size of the parking lot, designed the floor plan and completed the report. The recommended design for the skywalk, which is a modification of the design found at http://www.aardvark-house-plans.com. The design provides ample space for pedestrians to walk through. The skywalk features a two-sided walk that can accommodate light traffic of bicycles and
