The city I’ve chosen is New Delhi, the capital of India. In many ways it is a small reflection of most parts of India. Owing to its image as a land of opportunities, many people from varied cultures, backgrounds, regions and religions come here each year which has resulted in a blended society. It is a haven for foodies as there is a wide variety of cuisines and experiences available from multi cuisine or specialized fine dining restaurants to dhabas and from clubs to cafes etc.
As far as infrastructure is concerned, there has been a huge burst in the last few years. The face of the city has changed due to the development of new and better roadways, the metro etc. Many historic sites in the city are now being maintained and conservation processes are being carried out to make sure the rich past of this great city is not lost. This in turn has resulted in a boost in tourism as well. The per capita income of the residents of Delhi has been on a constant rise with every passing year which results in more spending power which has further led to a humongous increase in the number of cars on the roads in Delhi.
Being a cosmopolitan, Delhi has an acute shortage of roads and parking spaces. Having said that, I want to bring to notice the enormous problem that is caused by the numerous cars that are bought anew and driven each day in the city. The number and space of the roads remains constant, unlike the number cars that are bought
Also, like other urban cities, New Delhi is also plagued by other problems like being notorious and having a reputation of being unsafe for women. Corruption has leaked into the system like poison at each level.

    As the population increases, the total of vehicles increases aswell. “In 1945 there were 100 cars per 1000 people, by 1970 there were almost 500 cars per 1000 people”(Forster 2004, p.17), this will cause traffic congestion within the cities. As a result of traffic congestion, pollution levels will increase. This will negatively affect peoples health and well being. Along with the inconviences of urban…

    I think of a place with beautiful architecture. Chock full of culture. History everywhere you step. Art permeates every air molecule; you can even feel it in the atmosphere. Musicians play the native music on various street corners, laughter spills out of dance halls, and the rhythm is one that the whole city functions to.…

    As a result of an increased population inhabiting one area, traffic congestion is often a major issue resulting from urbanisation. In London, traffic is evidently a problem. As it would be expected from a capital city home to more than 8 million people, alongside the 30 million visitors received per year, the London road network is often under tremendous strain. Despite London’s extensive public transport facilities, many still choose to drive their own vehicles around the city. In Mumbai, the road network suffers a similar strain, unable to cope with the millions it carries each day, it suffers from increased journey times, congestion, and air pollution. In London, park and ride schemes, cycle lanes, congestion charging schemes and low emission zones have been introduced to combat the traffic. In terms of its success, an example of immediate impact was the introduction of the congestion charge, reducing the amount of traffic in the heart of the capital by about 15 per cent. However, according to TFL, the reduction has not been sustained. In Mumbai, people have tried using alternative vehicles such as mopeds and scooters, and whilst this helps them to dodge traffic jams, it has only contributed more to the poor air quality caused by emissions. Ultimately, it is clear that not all solutions are effective, but in a wealthier country like the UK, there is a much higher chance of success due to the funding fuelled into these schemes; with time, the schemes may…

    The increased number of vehicles is an alarming factor for the country. A recent statistics shows that each day, Dhaka city gets 2000 new vehicles. For these purposes, neither did Bangladesh government plan ahead, nor they are taking any significant measures now-a-days. As a result, more and more traffic jam is making the lives of normal people a living hell. Traffic management system of Bangladesh is still the ones that were used to be in the 80s. Therefore, the new methods of traffic management is not being applied properly. Rickshaws, however, are identified as one of the most common reason for traffic jams. The number of rickshaws is very much high and they don’t maintain any law whatsoever. However, you cannot eradicate them off the street either because they are one of the best ways of communication and the greenest vehicle you may find. Parkings in the country is horrible because there isn’t enough space for parking. Most of the buildings of the country thought of having room for…

    With, 7.2 million cars on the streets and the number only set to increase sustainability is endangered. I believed a solution to the problem would be the Land Transport Authority’s (Singapore) regulation of motor vehicles with an auctioning system. There, the ability to own a car has to be paid for in a bid. This makes getting certificates of entitlement, a pass to own a car, extremely expensive as the highest bidder wins the bid. There are only a certain number of entitlements given, therefore the government can control the number of cars on the road effectively. (“Vehicle Quota System”). Also coal powered power plants in the outskirts of the city produce toxic amounts of smog that settles over the city like a looming prophet of doom. By burning coal at less than efficient temperatures, they create more pollution than necessary. Furthermore, the Wall Street Journal reports that many of the city’s factories do not follow emission regulations or enable the scrubbers.(“5 Things to Know about Delhi’s Air Pollution.”) A solution would be to switch more to renewable energy like solar as the capital receives a fair amount of sunlight during both the summers and winter, provided there is no smog.…

    This project was undertaken to document and analyze the number of autos entering the IIM Kozhikode campus. We felt it was important to undertake this project because, it’s a very pertinent and relevant issue for the student community of IIMK. Students often need to go out for various reasons, that include groceries from Reliance Fresh, Beauty parlour visits for girls, Barber visits for boys, etc. It is at these times that Autos become extremely important for transport. We took samples of data from the main gate, of entries of vehicles for 13 days. Total number of data points is 995, which we believe will be an adequate representation of average vehicle inflow at any given time of the year. We then proceeded to analyse the distribution of these autos, day-wise, destination-wise, hour-wise, etc. We also did Regression Analysis, Hypothesis testing on our sample of data. Various factors were analyzed and inferences were drawn.…

    The neglect of Indian roads is pathetic. In the first Plan the outlay was 6.9 per cent of total expenditure which declined to 3 per cent by the Eighth Plan. The neglect and poor maintenance of Indian roads have made the road-travel very hazardous. About 60,000 lives are lost every year in road accidents. This fatality rate is 25 times that of the U.S.A. The pressure on roads is increasing abnormally and nothing effective and urgent is being done by the concerned authorities.…

    However given the hostile conditions for public transport and increasing risk to pedestrians and cyclists, the use of personal motorized vehicle is increasing. This trend is accompanied with the rise in traffic crashes and deteriorating air quality in cities. Emission levels vary with travel behaviour which is dependent on city size, structure and mode choice available. In Indian cities, a large proportion of population lives in slums, for example in Mumbai percentage of population living in slums is 54.1%, Kolkata 32.5% and in Delhi it is 18.7% (Census of India, 2001). There is a significant proportion of people who cannot afford personal motorized vehicles (cars and two-wheelers) for transportation and subsidized bus systems are also too expensive for them for daily commute (Mohan and Tiwari, 2000). Their transportation needs are thus dependent on NMT (walking or cycling). As such, even in the megacities of India (population more than 8 million), 30% of the trips are made by NMT, 50% by PT (both formal bus systems and informal bus systems, tempos) and rest are by Personal Motorized Vehicles (PMV) i.e. cars and two…

    Men have stepped on the moon. Now they are going from one place to another within few hours. World fastest car is able to sprint 252mph, but the citizens of Dhaka (sometimes) cannot reach few miles to Gulistan from Mohakhali or any other place to our destination place within hours. You must go out from your house before two or three hours to reach destination which is only 20 or 30 minutes required. Who is responsible for this? Traffic jam is that magician. Traffic jam has become a great monster in our modern life. Traffic congestion is not only affecting our business but the education sector as well. Students cannot do other tasks such as photocopying or collecting notes before attending class in the morning because a lot of time gets wasted on traffic congestions. It wastes lot of working hours of students as well as teachers. In many occasions, students and teachers fail to attend classes in due time. And it is more painful when students fail to reach exam halls and fails just due to a social problem. Now just think everyday how much national time is wasting, how much economical activities are losing, for the traffic congestion problem. This assignment is focusing current situation of traffic congestion problem in Dhaka city. What is Traffic jam? A traffic jam is a long line of vehicles that cannot move forward because there is too much traffic, or because the road is blocked by something. Over the last few years the traffic congestion problem of Dhaka City has visibly been deteriorating steadily. Limited resources, invested for the development of transport facilities, such as infrastructure and vehicles, coupled with the rapid rise in transport demand, existence of old transport and also huge number of non-motorized vehicles on roads, lack of application of adequate and proper traffic management schemes are producing severe transport problems in almost all the traffic route in Dhaka. Citizens constantly complain about the intolerable…
