SCOPE OF WORK
- To
develop a generalized package for generating feeder bus plan for Rail Based
Mass transit System for any city. The generated feeder plan should consist
of feeder public transport routs as per expected station loads, modal split
and frequency of operation of MRTS in different phases of implementation.
- The
package should also prepare scheduling plan of feeder public transport
system consisting of different type of vehicles with varying capacities to
meet the expected feeder trip demand at various levels of service in
different horizon years.
- To
prepare the timetable of feeder bus services integrating it with the MRTS
operation plan.
- To
improve the logic of the available package as per inputs provided by the
RITES.
- The
package should be user friendly, essentially in terms of input data, various
constraints, parameters and output.
- The
graphical presentation of output should be GIS based.
- The
package should be compatible to Windows Operating System.
- To
prepare and provide the Manual of the package.
STUDY
METHODOLOGY
The stepwise methodology to
achieve the desired objectives in a systematic manner comprises of the following
important stages :
-
Study of existing bus transit system to assess the existing travel
demand and its pattern.
-
Study of existing and proposed Road network and
proposed MRTS network.
-
Generation of database wherever lacking, through
limited field surveys.
-
Planning of feeder public transport system for the
proposed MRTS network.
-
Preparation of scheduling-plan for the generated
feeder public transport system.
-
Recommendations to restructure the existing bus
route network in the light of feeder public transport plan.
-
Modification of routing plan in light of ground
checks and discussion with present bus operating authorities.
- Recommendations
on Institutional arrangements for feeder public transport system.
