Personal Rapid Transit: A Sustainable transportation medium for Lucknow
An ever-increasing growth in the urban areas has put up a new challenge in the domain of urban transportation. The complexity of the problem is enhanced by the limitations in the option available, space available, their inter-relationships and also the ease with which these options serve to cater to the present requirements. Meanwhile as the world is becoming smaller and smaller, the urgency to communicate, travel and transport faster is growing by leaps and bounds. Technology on one hand is acting as a catalyst in this process and on the other hand is providing with solutions to cater to this process. Urban transportation with all its complexities and challenges has attracted the interest of planners and engineers to seek solutions. One such solution is PRT (i.e. Personal Rapid Transit) which has proved promising as a solution to the problem stated above. This paper discusses PRT with respect to technology, its prospect in a developing nation like India and also the feasibility to provide it, if possible, in Lucknow. The paper covers extensively all the aspects of this new means of Urban Transportation and also maps the transportation requirements of Lucknow with a prospective solution with the help of this technology.
Development of Mass Rapid Transit System-Necessity of Lucknow City: A Review
IRJET, 2022
With rising traffic demand, the idea of coordinating the development of numerous modes of transportation, with public transit as the dominant option, has gained traction. Many big cities are working to establish three-dimensional urban rail transit and build a public transportation system using urban rail transit as the backbone. Medium volume traffic is preferred by many cities due to its low volume and flexibility in route choices. Based on the study and analysis of several intermediate-mass rapid transit systems, this article develops a complete decisionmaking model for the system using the DEA data envelopment analysis approach. The adaptability of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit (ART), and Rail Transit were analyzed and graded using Yongxiu County in Jiangxi province as a case study. Meanwhile, this article looked at the system selection for the mass transit system. The population grows geometrically over time as a result of the city's development as well as accompanying infrastructure expansions such as traffic and transportation. The mobility strength and mode have both been found to have enhanced. As a result, we saw the necessity for a transportation system that could move a large number of passengers in a short amount of time. The solution to this problem is the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS). MRTS, which may be based on rail or bus, is popular across the world and must be a long-term transportation solution.
Development of Mass Rapid Transit System-Necessity of Lucknow City
IRJET, 2022
A core region exists in almost every Indian city. The core areas are frequently densely populated, crowded locations with limited open space. They have a high population density and are also tied to the city's historical past. These core districts are deteriorating for a variety of causes, and this deterioration is now presenting a danger to the cities' heritage value. The fast-changing lifestyle of the residents of the region, changes in the economics of individuals living in core areas, neglect by local developing authorities, and a lack of connectivity with newly built sections of the city are only a few of the reasons for this deterioration. The heritage zone frequently encircles the core portions of cities, separating them from the newly constructed regions. The clogged roadways that link the city's key districts make them inaccessible to the general public. To maintain the rich legacy of such locations for future generations, there is a great need to connect the heritage core regions with the main metropolis. The study article aims to find a solution for the regeneration and conservation of core regions using mass transportation fast systems.
Potential of Personal Rapid Transit System to Meet the Urban Transport Deficit
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT ENGINEERING, 2016
There is a rapid increase in the use of personal modes of transport over public transport. In spite of tremendous efforts to promote public transport by the authorities; the personal mode users still prefer their own vehicles for transportation. The personal mode users resist the public transport for various reasons like comfort, waiting time, sense of privacy and access-egress trips. This study focuses on the access-egress trips and how Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) can be used to meet this deficit in the urban transportation system. PRT is an efficient rapid transit system which provides the last mile connectivity to the users with high level of reliability and comfort. It is a demand responsive system that ensures uninterrupted point to point journey between origin and destination. Dwarka, New Delhi, in India has been taken as the case study area to study how a PRT system effects the accessibility of public transport in an area. Primary and secondary data has been collected to understand the characteristics of the existing mass rapid transit system (Delhi Metro) and city bus services (DTC) in Dwarka. A PRT network of 18 km has been proposed in Dwarka which forms loops around the existing MRTS line and passes through the neighboring residential, commercial and institutional areas. Further, the impact of introducing this network on the accessibility levels in the area have been studied. The Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) methodology developed by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham has been adopted for calculation of Accessibility Index.
A review of bus rapid transit implementation in India
Cogent Engineering, 2016
Between 2008 and 2015, bus rapid transit system (BRTS) in India increased its implementation from two cities to eight cities with a significant increase in total ridership. This paper attempts to give a detailed review of BRTS implementation in cities of India. This is a systematic effort that could inform readers about the current system and network characteristics of Indian BRTS. Different system and corridor characteristics including off board and on board ticketing systems are adopted in India. Gross cost revenue collection model is adopted by almost all special purpose vehicle (SPV) companies developed to manage BRT systems. A variety of carriageway concept designs for BRTS are implemented in these cities considering a right of way of 22, 24, 30, 32, 40, 45, 60 meters respectively. Out of the eight cities, Ahmedabad has almost 30% of the total fleet size. In terms of regulatory context, SPV companies are formed in almost all eight cities after observing Ahmedabad BRT success. Documentation of these operating systems shall provide a sound database to planners and decision makers actively involved with BRT system implementation in developing countries.
IJERT-Study of Bus Rapid Transit system In Respect to Growing Cities of India

Population wise India is the second largest country & fastest growing economy of the world. Presently the population of India is 130 Millions & Approximately 42 Millions people's lives in the growing cities but in the past decades there are no considerable development in the field of urban transportation so due to this reason & also tremendous growth of vehicular population on urban roads causes the congestion & traffic jam condition in the most of Indian cities. Now this is the time to think about the urban transport. BRTS is the most economical eco-friendly solution of public transportation for growing cities of India. Public transport is operated by the unorganized sector in all most cities of the India, which is the main cause of poor quality of public transport facility in Indian cities i.e. over loading, un-standard fare, unqualified drivers & staff, unscheduled movement causes the inconvenient & unsafe journey for user of public transport. But a BRT network with comprehensive coverage can serve a diverse market (all income ranges) by moving large numbers of people between locations quickly and reliably throughout the day, while maintaining a comfortable riding experience. These characteristics are essential to satisfying the demands of a diverse market or offering high-frequency service without heavy subsidy.
The Study of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System at University Road Peshawar, Pakistan
The paper is part of an ongoing research project on traffic management strategies for Peshawar Pakistan. A survey of all the existing public transport stops on University Road Peshawar conducted for identification of bus lane. Peak hour demand was calculated in terms of actual Passengers per hour per direction (Pphpd)along the entire corridor which acts a warrant test for the provision of a separate lane for public transport vehicles in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System. Saturation Levelsand Dwell Times (sec)at every stop both for busses and for wagons usingfrequency, clearance time, amount of boarding and alighting passengers and journey time of existing public transport system were analyzed.From data analysis, theSaturation Levels and Dwell Times at every stop were found higher than the recommended values mainly because of the obstruction due to private vehicles in front of public transport vehicles,a comparatively high percentage of private vehicles with respect to public transport vehicles and the prolong stay of drivers atbus stops. The Saturation Levels and Dwell Times (sec) for the proposed BRT system was re-analyzed. Finally, result of the proposed BRT system was incorporated in S-Paramics software to develop a public transport model.
Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) -A Sustainable Approach-Literature Review
Cities in the developing countries in general and India in particular, are in search of sustainable solutions to their accessibility and mobility issues. The process is complicated due to the rapid pace of urbanization, which is characterized by motorization, the coexistence of motorized and non-motorized modes, deteriorating public transport services and institutions and deteriorating air quality. A variety of modes such as walking, cycling, two-wheelers, Para-transit, public transport, cars etc. are used to meet the travel needs in urban areas. Public transit systems world over are struggling to complete with private modes and the shift is noticeable in the developing countries as well; the predominant modes being cars, two wheelers and other intermediary modes. At present, public transport becomes financially less viable, speeds reduce, and congestion levels increase and the transportation becomes a source of environmental problem. So, to compete with these requirements BRTS is one of the most solutions of these problems. The aim of the present paper is to introduce BRTS which is the sustainable solution for public transport services in urban area of Indian city. This paper highlights how we can improve the public transport through BRTS on the basis of literature.

A sustainable transport system should provide mobility and accessibility to every urban neighbourhood in a safe, sound and environmentfriendly way of transport. There is increase in the use of personal transport in the urban area. The rapid growth in the number of motor vehicles has resulted in severe traffic congestion and air pollution in many cities of the country. One of the most important technical innovations in the transportation field has nothing to do with vehicle technology or alternative fuels. Rather, they involve the way bus services are operated and infrastructure is used to optimize their speed, comfort, and capacity. The U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has helped to popularize a term for such measures: Bus Rapid Transit, or BRT. Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a term applied to a variety of public transportation systems using buses to provide faster, more efficient service than an ordinary bus line. The goal of these systems is to approach the service quality of rail transit while still enjoying the cost savings and flexibility of bus transit. Ahmadabad has become the first city in South Asia to receive award for sustainable transport system. It has bagged for successful implementation of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. This Paper examines the impact of BRT System on Ahmadabad's transport sector and the changes that can be brought about by introduction of BRT System in other cities. BRTS Ahmadabad has improved access for local riders and advanced public transportation systems while reducing the environmental impacts of transportation. Moving people quickly, at a low cost, with reduced greenhouse gases and air pollutants helps cities grappling with rapid growth, congestion and environmental concerns.
INCORPORATING LOCAL TRANSPORTATION IN EXISTING RAILWAY STATIONS IN LUCKNOW
IRJET, 2022
Transport has a significant part to play in accelerating civic mobility. Civic mobility has different confines i.e. mobility for work, education, recreation and other requirements; mobility by the public, private and individualized modes; and mobility through facilitation of colorful transport structure and services handed by the authorities concerned. In this environment, the part of colorful modes of public transport in a megacity is of consummate significance for achieving effective movement pattern but the same cannot be achieved without modal integration of public transport in confluence with non-motorized modes similar as climbers, bikes and cycle cabs. Hence, there's a felt need to evolve underutilized road stations particularly for Lucknow megacity through proper integration of being modes and design of physical architectures. The study suggests colorful measures to reduce vulnerability of non-motorized druggies. Due to perpetration of metro, commuters shifted from road- grounded modes to metro due to lower traffic, accident free script, lower pollution, as well as savings in trip time and cost. Transport is a State Government subject and hence creation of public transport and improvement of its modal share depends on policy opinions taken by original authorities and concerned transport department. Hence, expression of road as original transportation capitals is vital step to promote such a conception in medium sized metropolises also. The study also deals with policy matters related to climbers, bikes, cycle cabs, substantiated modes, original terrain, setting up of devoted civic transport fund at megacity position and state position, institutional frame, public position data bank public civic transport information system, planning morals, strategies for enhancement of sustainable transport, art and aesthetics in conveyance, control of auto business, transport as a multi- sectorial policy, etc. The operations of this study workshop are numerous. The results may be used to enhance the character and image of public transport as well as planning and design of similar original transportation capitals in medium- sized metropolises.
