Scope of Work: There is lots of scope for designing a good transportation system for Raipur and

neighbouring cities because these are important cities of the state in the context of

administration and commerce.

More than 1.10 lakh people commute daily between these cities and growth rate of

commuters is very high.

Raipur and Durg-Bhilai cities are educational and health center for the region as well as

state.


Limitation:

A good transportation system required forthe region due to administrative,

commercial, health and educational

importance of the cities.

It will be beyond the scope of thisseminar to consider all the neighbouring

settlements of Raipur City.

Neighbouring urban centers to Raipur

A planned and designed Naya Raipur consists of ten fully included and fifteen partlyincluded villages into the Development Plan. Within the peripheral control zone the total

area under Capital Area Development Authority consist of 48 villages (including 2

villages under Mana Airport).


NAYARAIPUR

Considering the importance of Raipur

as a major node in the trade networkof Central India, a site located about15km southeast from it, was chosenfor Naya Raipur.

The presence of industrial growthcenters on the north and west wouldacts as an economic catalyst for thedevelopment of the region.

The transportation network (Manaairport, NH-6 and NH-43 highwaysand proximity to Mumbai-Kolkatarailway line) provides goodconnectivity in the regional and

national levels.

Regional Linkages:

The road network is the most important development determinant of any upcoming

economy of the region. The Raipur Region is well located and transverse with many roads of national

importance such as The Great Eastern Road (Bombay Kolkata), and Raipur-Vizag.

Besides these, it is also connected by air links with major city of the Country.


The region is well connected by national

highways (NH-6, NH-43 and NH-200) and

three state highways (SH-2, 7 and 9).

All the important towns of the Region like

Bhilai (25 km), Durg (41 km), Jagadalpur

(297 Km), Rajnandgaon (70 km), Bilaspur(115 km) Jabalpur (369 km) and Bhopal

(712 km) are connected with Raipur by

Road.

Master Plan and City structure: Raipur


The city structure of Raipur is defined by a strong nucleus which is the intersection of GE

road and NH 200. It acts as a major node for commercial and public / semi-public activities.

The growth of the city is apparently guided by the NH-6 which runs on the southernperiphery of the city and restricted along the northern side by the railway line. This led to the

growth of industries and wholesale markets and go-downs along it which triggered the

expansion on the north-eastern and south-western side of the city.


13/25

Master Plan: Durg Naya Raipur


Durg City has been divided into four

planning zones. Residential Zone & commercial zone

29% and 4% of the total developed Area.

The Master Plan defines 9 different land use

zones, which classify all areas inside Layer-I.

Besides the basic 9 land use zones, two

additional special zones are defined to cover

Layers II (Rural Zone) and III (Airport Zone).

Case Study: Regional Plan 2021 for National Capital Region


National Capital Region (NCR) is a highintensity, multi-level and multi-modaltravel region.

There is high intensity of intra-regionalmovement within NCR amongst Delhi and

the regional centres & sub-regional centresand amongst themselves.

Regional Plan-2021 proposed developmentof road & rail network in the region in orderto provide efficient and economic rail/roadbased transportation networks (includingmass transport systems).

It proposed a hierarchical system of roadnetwork.

It also proposed development of RegionalRapid Transit System (RRTS) to connectregional towns with Delhi and with Sub-

regional Centres; orbital rail and MassRapid Transit System (MRTS) for Delhi.

Case Study:Metrobus: Bus Rapid Transit System Istanbul, Turkey


Istanbul, a city of nearly 14 millioninhabitants sprawling across over

5,000 sq. km.

It is one of the largest cities in the

world and serves as a major commerce

hub for country.

Istanbul is divided into two sections

by the Bosporus sea channel, forming

the natural boundary between Europe

and Asia.

The Asian side is predominantly

residential, while the European side ishome to most of the citysbusinesses

and workplaces.

Transportation in Istanbul has been

heavily reliant on road-based options

(92.3 percent) compared to rail (5.5

percent) and water (2.2 percent)

Istanbul has a comprehensive publictransportation system including commuter

rail, metro, light rail, and a network of city

buses and minibuses.

Around 53 percent of inhabitants use one or

more forms of public transportation daily.

construction of Istanbuls metro system

complicated, as a result, the citys above-

ground public transport options are more

developed than its metro.

The largest proportion (64%) of benefits

comes from travel time reductions, followedby vehicle operating cost reductions (23%)

and increased traffic safety (9%).

The largest proportion of users of the BRT

system are in the lower- and middle-income

groups, though benefits exceeded costs in all

income groups.


19/25

Case Study: Metrobus: Bus Rapid Transit System Istanbul, Turkey


Metrobs operates on dedicated lanes

throughout the rest of the system. While this approach does place

Metrobs in general traffic lanes, it

allows Metrobs to skip the queue and

move quickly than general traffic.

The system serves an estimated

600,000 passenger trips every day,

with a maximum load of 30,000 trips

per hour per direction.

Metrobs is able to achieve this level

of service by running at a very high

frequency during peak hours (up toone bus every 30 seconds).

With no signalized stops or

intersections, Metrobs is able to

operate at an average speed of 40

km/hr.

Conclusion:


Transport affects our daily lives in its myriad forms.

It influences economic development, population distribution, the shape of cities, energyconsumption, access to markets and quality of life.

It contributes substantially to gross domestic product, absorbs large investments andprovides employment for millions of people.

RAIPURREGION:

Raipur and its neighboring cities are

important in the state context and also inthe context of central India.

These cities serve as administrative,commercial, educational and healthcenters for the state, so people of statetravel in the large nos. every day.

To cater this large population regionrequired better transportation alternative.

Recently, Raipur ranked 3rd in the list ofmost polluted city of the India because ofabsence of efficient public transportsystem, so people prefer private vehicles

instead of public system.

Proposal:


Dedicated road network for BRTS, parallel to NH-6, NH-43 and Railway Line, so it could be

integrated with the existing system.

Dedicated road network for BRTS, because of traffic and heavy vehicle movement in

National Highways and State Highways..

Dedicated road network, so buses can move quickly. It will provide high efficiency and it

will save time.

Integration of existing city bus system with BRTS.

Project can be done in different

phases.

I. In Phase-I Raipur to Durg-

Bhilai.

II. In Phase-II expansion of BRTS

with in cities.

III. In Phase-III expansion to near

by urban areas and integration

with proposed New Raipur

BRTS.
