Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Programme

GenesisThe Transportation Research & Injury Prevention Programme (TRIPP) at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) began life in 1997 when it was discovered that many faculty members in different departments of IITD were working separately on transportation related issues in their individual capacities. Their strength was their expertise and commitment. Their weakness: absence of synergy among them and insufficient impact of their work on the society around them.

We combined our resources to develop a concept paper for the establishment of TRIPP and circulated it to national and international researchers, senior government officials, industry executives and international and non-government officials and organisations. Their comments were consolidated into a vision document and it was used to raise endowment and infrastructure funds from the Government of India, industry and other sources. With the seed money in place, TRIPP was established as an Interdisciplinary Programme of IITD at 1997.

VisionThe shared vision of researchers at TRIPP is to produce knowledge that addresses the unique transportation issues in less motorised countries. An effort to set up a system of research activities that respond dynamically to problems defined in localised contexts by including a heterogeneous set of practitioners integrating international concerns in an internally consistent format. The idea is to experiment with new forms of knowledge generation where there is a continuous negotiation between disciplines on the one hand and between scientists and society on the other.

MissionThe objective of TRIPP is to reduce the adverse health effects of transport by integrating mobility, safety and environmental concerns specific to India in particular, and other less motorised countries in general.

ProgressThe establishment of TRIPP has facilitated the interaction among faculty members from different departments in IITD and with professionals from outside IITD (Indian Statistical Institute Delhi, Sanchal Hazard Centre Delhi, St. Stephen’s Hospital Delhi, All India Institute of Medical Sciences Delhi, Institute of Democracy and Sustainability Delhi) to work on complex interdisciplinary problems associated with urban transport. The group is unique because it combines expertise in transportation planning, road safety, computer sciences, biomechanics, epidemiology, medicine, social sciences, applied mechanics, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering and econometrics for work on safety and transportation issues. TRIPP is a WHO Collaborating Centre for injury control and safety promotion since 1997. TRIPP received Centre of Excellence Grant from Volvo Research and Education foundations from 2003-2014 and Centre of Excellence grant from Ministry of Urban development from 2009-2014.

Research AreasUrban Transport Pedestrian Behaviour

Research on pedestrian behaviour was initiated in 2003 as a student project. A research paper published in 2007 on survival analysis of pedestrian behaviour on Delhi roads paved the way to further research in this area. Survival analysis of pedestrians waiting time showed that low survival time is inversely related to the delays. More pedestrians are likely to cross the road at the red light if the delays experienced by them increases. Basic behaviour is not very different than that reported from European and North American locations. Research is in progress looking at risk at various road designs constructed by the government in Delhi. A recently completed Ph.D. thesis on Statistical Modelling to Estimate Pedestrian Behaviour and Risk on Urban Roads explores pedestrian risk taking behaviour in greater detail. The prime motivator for this research was the importance of pedestrian safety in cities.

A significant investment has been made in Delhi for the provision of free left turns, construction of flyovers and grade separators to increase the speed of motorized vehicles, to reduce their delay, and to make arterial roads in Delhi signal free. With these types of road facilities the signalized crossings are converted into signal free crossings, causing more problems for pedestrians. Although signalized junctions provide pedestrians a protected crossing phase, mot pedestrians tend to prefer using the available traffic gaps for crossing (Hamed, 2001). Pedestrians often cross roads away from signalized crosswalks, such as near bus stops, at the foot of flyovers, to save travel time or distance. Further, at free left-turns motorists generally do not yield to pedestrians using these turns. A significant number of pedestrians are found to be willing to take the risk while crossing roads at all types of crosswalks.

It is therefore important to study pedestrian behaviour in order that the risk faced by them can be minimized while the transportation facilities are improved for motorized traffic. A common phenomenon in Delhi is that a pedestrian has to fight for space on the road, because of a lack of safe and convenient pedestrian paths. This research has focused on pedestrian risk on crosswalks in cities because among various pedestrian facilities, crosswalks are one of the most complex ones, with high risk for pedestrians in congested urban areas, since pedestrians and vehicles share the same road space but at different or the same time intervals. The objective of this study is to examine the pedestrian road crossing behaviour exhibited by different types of pedestrians, and their road crossing risk while crossing the roads in an urban area, such as Delhi. We explored the utility of binary probabilistic modelling at different road crossing locations, and its performance measures in analysing the pedestrian risk and their crossing behaviour.

Assessment of Freight Movement by Non-Motorised Vehicles in Indian Cities

Data has been collected from primary and secondary sources to understand the economic, financial, safety and environmental issues of cycle rickshaws carrying freight in Delhi. The cycle rickshaw trolley (CRT) is a widely used non-motorised mode of intra-city freight transport in Delhi. While a number of studies are available for non-motorized passenger rickshaws, the role of CRT in urban goods movement has not been studied adequately. This study included a survey of 2000 CRT drivers in Delhi in 2011. The study highlights the contribution of CRT in city goods movement, savings in fuel and emissions and benefits to CRT drivers. If CRTs are replaced by motorized vehicles, CO2emissions from vehicular traffic will increase by over 3% and hydrocarbon emissions will increase by over 8% and six to seven hundred thousand people will have to find alternate employment. The findings have a direct impact on various urban freight policies and welfare policies for the poor.

Bus Rapid Tansit System (BRTS)

This project has involved detailed survey, design, and modelling effort in addition to coordination with government officials and the project management company RITES. The effort and time consumed would constitute a major proportion of the CoE activity. The corridor designed at TRIPP is operating in Delhi for the past six years. One major outcome in addition to efficient bus operations is a significant decrease in traffic accidents on the corridor, which can be attributed mainly to changes in design: separation of vulnerable road users and control of bus speeds. A number of undergraduate and graduate students have based their project work on analysis of the operation of the corridor. A status report on BRT systems in India has been completed and submitted to the Ministry of Urban Development and a BRTS Planning and Design Guideline has been prepared. Since 2009 two major documents have been completed on BRTS. (i) Design Guideline for BRT System (ii) Bus Evaluation analysis and Design (BEAD) Tool kit.

Bus Rapid Transit System Design Guidelines

Bus Rapid Transit Design Guideline has been developed to provide transportation planners and decision makers with information regarding the planning, design and implementation of a Bus Rapid Transit System project. The guideline has evolved over the years as our research team has continued to work from the conceptual level details to planning and design details during the implementation and construction phase of these projects.

The guideline also addresses the needs of planners and engineers planning the geometric and operational details of the BRT system. The guideline explains the BRT system in the context of Indian cities; it also guides the planners through the entire process of planning and designing a complete BRT system in Indian cities. It is hoped that the guideline will serve as an important tool for the city planner, policy maker and transport experts involved and provide them with a better understanding of the entire process.

Bus rapid transit system (BRTS) Design guideline and Evaluation Tool (BEAD)

More than 150 cities in the world now operate BRTS corridors. No two systems are identical and their characteristics vary. Their uniqueness is because the

11

TRIPP 1997-2015

system is flexible enough to allow variation and adaptation. Since BRTS makes use of limited vehicle types in exclusive lanes, one can obtain estimations of these features. The traditional approach of transportation project evaluation tends to measure only the speed and travel time savings, often for cars only and the change in safety parameters computed as fatalities/injury per unit of exposure. A tool for evaluation of different design characteristics of BRT systems (BEAD) has been developed by SGArchitects with support from TRIPP. This tool assesses the capacity and evaluates performance of proposed and existing BRT systems, using performance variables such as access trip composition, station access type, signal phasing, bus type, system type, junction configuration, etc.

Estimation of Emissions and Fuel consumption of in-use Vehicles

This work aims at documenting the emission and fuel economy of in-use vehicles in two cities (Delhi and Ludhiana). Estimation of emissions and fuel economy on the basis of an average Indian driving cycle does not capture variations that exist within a city and also amongst different size cities. Therefore, this project aims at documenting the variations in traffic environment that exists both in terms of infrastructure design and modal shares, and estimates emissions and fuel economy of different vehicles that are operating in this environment. Phase I of the project has been completed and results submitted to the funding agency. Phase II work will start in Ludhiana, a smaller city with different traffic characteristics from megacities like Delhi and Mumbai.

Integration of Access, Mobility, Safety and Environmental Policies

Transport projects funded by the central government in the last five years are being analysed to identify policy-making and/or policy improvement, and policy implementation opportunities for sustainable transportation with an emphasis on mitigating greenhouse gases and air pollution and promoting energy savings in the public transport sector in India.

Work on the health benefits of tackling climate change associated with urban land transport was completed in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Major Public health benefits will depend on the introduction of policies that combine reduced motor vehicle use, more walking and cycling, and low-carbon-emission motor vehicles. Since major benefits in Delhi are only possible if shares of active travel remain high, it is imperative that policies promoting traffic safety and reduction in fear of urban crime are given much more importance. Results of these studies were important as inputs to the national committee working on long-term transport policy for India. Partly as an outcome of this work TRIPP has participated in two new international projects:

“Public health impacts in Urban Environments of Greenhouse gas Emissions reduction strategies (PURGE)” funded by EU for a period of 3 years starting in February 2011. The Project objectives are to assess greenhouse gas reduction policies and their impacts on public health and well-being in urban areas. The project is being coordinated by London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine with partners from UK, China, Spain Czech Republic, Italy, India, china, Serbia, UK.

“Promoting Low Carbon Transport in India” funded by UNEP (UNEP Risoe Centre, Technical University of Denmark). The objective is to create an enabling environment for coordinating policies at a national level to achieve a sustainable transport system: the project would assess the policies and

12

IIT Delhi

actions that align climate policies and transport investments by developing “Transport Action Plans (TAP)” in cooperation with multiple stakeholders including industry associations, financial agencies and different ministries and would include: indicators for measuring sustainability of the transport sector in India, integrated assessment at the national level of all the competing transportation technologies, policy analysis for reducing emissions, framework for climate proofing of transport infrastructure and application to a transport infrastructure. This project was funded for a three-year period starting April 2011.

Road Safety Factors in Urban Areas

Data collected for Indian and other cities around the world suggest that just quality of road design, vehicle safety standards and police enforcement levels do not adequately explain the variation in road traffic fatality among cities of similar size, population and income levels. Work done up to now suggest that width of urban roads, block size, and other urban characteristics may have a significant role in influencing crash rates. This work is continuing in greater depth as urban safety may be a significant factor influencing promotion of low carbon transport (walking, bicycling and public transport). Suggesting that urban safety may be a necessary though not sufficient condition for mitigating the effects of global warming.

At TRIPP, accessibility and safety indicators that rely upon knowledge of all types of users of a BRT corridor in Delhi have been developed. Using new indicators the implementation of BRT corridor in Delhi has resulted in travel time saving by 19% and increase in accessibility to destinations by 120% for bicycle users, 100% when bicycles are used to assess bus service on the corridor and by 730% for commuters who walk to access bus service. According to the new indicators risk to cyclists has been reduced to zero whereas the interaction between pedestrians and personal motorized vehicles needs further intervention to reduce risk to pedestrians.

A study on the epidemiology of road traffic injury (fatal) patterns in six cities of India differentiated by population size and high and low rates of fatalities per unit population was initiated in 2012. The purpose of the study is (a) to understand the modal share of victims and vehicles involved in crashes and to estimate risk functions associated with different road users; (b) To obtain a preliminary understanding of road design from an engineering perspective, design of the built environment from a land-use perspective, and community design in a broader sense for control of road traffic fatalities in urban areas. The study is funded by the International association of Traffic and Safety Science (IATSS), Japan.

Vehicle Safety Epidemiological Research and Crash Modelling to Develop Safer Vehicles with Special Reference to Pedestrian and Bicycle Crashes

Predicting bone Fracture PropagationUnderstanding of bone fracture patterns is crucial in reconstructing the nature of loading, in the lower limb and upper limb kinematics in vehicle-pedestrian crashes. This information is needed to design safer car and bus fronts. Failure is predicted using principles of continuum damage mechanics using critical dilatational cut-off stress failure criteria. Modelling techniques developed here will be incorporated in the human body model to make it more biofidelic for use in motor-vehicle pedestrian crash analysis.

Variation in Bone Modulus with Strain RatesFor development of detailed finite element models of the human body it is necessary to introduce strain rate dependent material properties of all tissue segments. This work is aimed at experimental determination of modulus of elasticity of bones from the human tibia to capture strain rate dependence and variation with density.

Effect of Active Muscles in Modelling CrashesAlmost all work done until recently to design vehicles for reduction in injuries in impact with pedestrians was based on dummy impact tests, human cadaver impact tests and computer models of the human body without accounting for the role of active muscles. This work attempts to understand the role of muscles with the objective of incorporating active muscles in the human body computer model. There is a significant difference in the reported values. Muscle contraction can increase the bending moment threshold of the knee joint by as much as 40% and the lateral bending stiffness by 60%. This changes the kinematics and forces experienced by a pedestrian in impact with a vehicle. We expect this work to be of greater significance in the design of safer fronts for cars and buses in impacts with pedestrians and bicycles at speeds less than 40 km/h in urban areas.

Positioning of Finite Element Human Body Models in VehiclesFE human body models are created in a few standard postures. Reconfiguration of the model to mimic the spread of human activity prior to crash as an USP which has been a difficult task to engineer. The applicability of the tool developed is demonstrated by orienting the lower extremity model (with respect to pelvic bone) so as to generate models for various postures. A technique to reposition the spinal column based on the trunk flexion of pelvis rotation angle has also been developed.

Motorcycle Helmet Design Motorcycles constitute a significant proportion of traffic modal share in most Asian cities, in Africa and South America. Optimal helmet design for safety and ventilation for adults and children has gained importance. Work for optimising helmet padding, shell characteristics, and air circulation was done over the past eight years, including finite element modelling, wind tunnel tests and impact tests. A report was prepared outlining the state of the art (for WHO) in the area of children use and injuries on motorcycles and associated safety issues. Work on a thermodynamic model for sweat evolution in a porous medium which is in touch with a part of the body of a human being has been stated. This model will enable us to analyse and optimize internal ventilation in a helmet. The purpose of the analysis will be enhancement of comfort leading eventually to the safety of the rider. We plan to use evolution

equations of three scalar unknowns: temperature, absolute humidity and sweat. Numerical simulation for these equations are being carried out with a collaborative project with Imperial College, London.

Vehicle Recognition SoftwareTRIPP in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and Kritikal Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a Technology Business Incubation Unit of IIT Delhi, is engaged in developing a multiple camera based traffic monitoring and analysis system that can be deployed in the dense traffic conditions of Indian roads. Determining the accurate counts of the number and types of vehicles plying on the road can be made available online at various locations and can be used for better planning of roads and highways. Once these data have been fed into the traffic controller they can dynamically change the pattern of the signal lights as per the actual traffic flow, which saves a lot of time and is cost-effective. The advantages are: (a) A vision based system that can potentially work reliably in extremely dense traffic situations. (b) Detection and tracking of vehicles under severe occlusion, without using predictive models like, a straight line trajectory, etc. (c) Dealing with a large number of vehicle types, of all shapes and sizes, including buses, trucks, cars, tempos, three wheelers, bicycles and pedestrians. (d) Automatically generating models for patterns of usual events in various deployments in Indian road conditions (which may all be different) and reliable detection of unusual events (from lane violations to accidents) under such situations and generating alerts. The second module of the software includes capability of recognizing buses, and work is continuing to extend it for two wheelers and side view of traffic.

Stability of Urban Small Bus in DelhiLow cost small buses owned privately have been introduced in Delhi to augment the public transport fleet. These buses (locally termed Rural Transport Vehicles RTV) are involved in crashes including rollovers. On the request of the Delhi Government an exercise was taken up to evaluate the stability of these vehicles. In this work a full vehicle model of the RTV was developed in MADYMOTM. The model was validated and then used to predict rollover characteristics using slowly Increasing Steer, J-Turn, and Road Edge Recovery manoeuvres. These manoeuvres were conducted for three different loading conditions viz. RTV without passengers, RTV with unrestrained passengers, and RTV with restrained passengers, and the safe speeds are compared with those of other vehicles. The comparisons of results show that rollover characteristics of RTV are not as safe as other vehicles. These results indicate that strict speed control measures need to be applied to the operation of these vehicles and designs modified to make them more stable.

Dynamics of Car-Bicycle CrashesThis work investigates the correlation between throwing distance and impact speed / point of impact / angle of approach for varying bicycle-car crash configurations. Crashes between a bicycle and a car were simulated using multi body models developed in MADYMOTM. The Hybrid III 50th percentile male dummy model, available from MADYMO library has been used, and over 200 simulations have been carried out for two crash configurations. The variation in the angle of approach or point of contact causes significant changes. One significant limit of the study is that only one car model has been used. The change in throwing distance for other vehicles is yet to be studied. Further, variation in the bumper and bonnet height could also affect the throwing distance.

TRIPP 1997-2015

Impact Characterization of Human Body Muscle TissuesFinite element modelling (FEM) for crash analysis has become an important tool for design purposes. However, the human body model still needs a great deal of improvement. This work is being done to add to the body of knowledge in this area as pedestrian and bicycle impact studies will benefit from improved models. Genetic algorithms (GA) have been used to identify the dynamic material properties of human passive muscle tissues for the strain rates relevant to passive muscle tissues for the strain rates relevant to automobile crashes. A novel methodology involving FEM and GA is implemented to estimate the material parameters by inverse mapping the impact test data. Isolated unconfined impact test conditions for average strain rates ranging from 132/s to 262/s are done on muscle tissues, which are subsequently modelled as isotropic, linear and viscoelastic material using three-element Zener model available in PAMCRASHTM explicit finite element software. Experimentally determined engineering stress vs engineering strain curves for erector spinae, hamstring and gluteus max muscles are reported in the strain rate range of from 250/s to 1000/s. The loading curves exhibit multi linear behaviour with increasing strain rate shifting the transition points between the slopes. In addition, influence of muscle activation on impact outcome is also being investigated at low velocity lateral impacts. Therefore, a group of muscles in the lower extremity are modelled using bar elements with the Hill material model. The reflex response of the muscle is then included. Simulations indicate that muscle activation decreases the probability of failure in knee ligaments.

Bus VentilationIt is generally felt that public transport buses are uncomfortable especially in hot and humid climates, because they are not air-conditioned. Such buses are widely used in several parts of the world. So far no scientific studies have been done for location and sizes of windows in the bus; likewise no study exists for improving ventilation and comfort levels in the bus.

Many experimental and computational studies on the aerodynamics of vehicles in general and buses in particular have been performed in the past several years, the primary aim being to reduce the drag and, hence, improve the fuel economy of the vehicle. These studies were done with the bus modelled as a closed surface with smooth exteriors. However, no studies have been carried out on a bus with its windows open, and the resulting investigations about flow patterns. Thus there is a knowledge gap regarding ventilation studies inside a bus compartment. This project focused on developing a scientific knowledge base, which can be utilized for studying and improving the aerodynamics of such semi-closed bodies in general and the bus with open windows, in particular, which is more realistic.

Highway Safety

Lucknow - Muzaffarpur National Highway Safety Audit ProjectThe objectives were: (a) To review provisions regarding worksite safety management in the project’s contract documents; (b) To review the extent of compliance of various safety aspects at work sites; (c) To identify the strengths and deficiencies in the existing systems; (d) To recommend modifications/improvements in the existing systems and processes to improve safety management during road construction work (e) To transfer the safety audit knowledge to the key staff members of Construction Supervision Consultations and staff of the National Highway Authority of India.

The project was of special interest to us as Indian highways pass through a large number of rural and urban settlements of all sizes. One unexpected

16

IIT Delhi

finding was that some of the existing standards for road markings and signs do not seem to make a significant difference on crash rates. Consequently the Government has agreed to revise these standards. TRIPP has been given the responsibility of preparing a Work Zone Safety Manual for use by contractors and employees of the National Highway Authority all over the country.

Research on Outcome of Pre-Hospital Trauma Care in Two CommunitiesPre-hospital care methods and costs have to be optimised at all locations, and evidence based data are required to understand the relative effectiveness of various pre-hospital care procedures. In collaboration with SAFER, Chalmers University, Sweden. SAFER and TRIPP (IITD) have started a trauma registry at the Sahlgrenska Hospital in Gothenburg and St. Stephens Hospital in Delhi. This is a protocol for research on outcome of trauma care in two communities: A mature trauma care programme with a fully functional pre-hospital care. Trauma care outcome will be significantly different between the two communities in terms of mortality, length of stay in the hospital, and end of stay dependency for family or social security support. The data collection from St Stepehens Hospital and post mortem cases has been completed in Delhi. Data coding and analysis will be completed in 2014.

Seminars, Symposia and Workshops

International Conference on Urban Transport: Today and Tomorrow (2007)

This VREF co-sponsored conference was organized in Agra 2007 with the objective of contributing to the understanding of socio-economic and land use policy challenges facing us to address the mobility and access requirements of cities in the 21st Century. This was an attempt to open up the discussion on the shape our cities are acquiring, and hopefully influence policy choice.The participants deliberated on the following issues: (a) City structure and its effect on transport and inclusiveness, (b) Forms of governance and their influence on transport policy, (c) Alternative transport policies for personal and public transport – lessons learned, (d) City infrastructure (roads, parking, ring roads, etc.) and its influence on mobility and access, (e) Mobility, safety, and the environment, (f) Para transit, taxis and non-motorised transport, (g) Modern technologies, ITS, etc.

The crucial question was whether our decision-makers can learn to equally accommodate the needs and concerns of non-elite residents when planning for city development and learn from organic forms of city growth. Participants discussed issues concerning the structure of the city, use of mixed land use or zoned areas by business and residential locations, where we should permit mixed land use and what should be the density of living areas and business areas, place of hawkers and informal trade in the city, urban traffic safety issues and problems of urban governance. The conference was co-sponsored by the Ministry of Urban Development and Infrastructure Development Finance Corporation (IDFC).

Jubilee Seminar on Traffic Safety on 2nd December 2010 in Delhi

The Seminar included state of the art lectures on major issues concerning road safety by world experts followed by panel discussions. The attempt was to learn from the 20 years of history of road safety research practice, on how to bring international best practices into local contexts. International experts invited were: (i) Ian Johnston, National Transport Commission, Australia (The international experience in road safety), (ii) Yves Page, Renault Motors, France (The future in motor vehicle safety), (iii) Christer Hyden, University of Lund, Sweden (Traffic calming: The way ahead in mixed traffic), (iv) Herman Knoflacher, Technical University of Vienna, Austria (Transport policies: How & why safety has been neglected).

International Workshop on Safety, Sustainability and future Urban Transport (2012)

Complex issues involving the interaction of urban structures, urban layout, street design and architectural forms and their influence on human behaviour in transportation choices get neglected by most transportation planners. The participants at this conference focussed their attention on these interactions. Just the availability of clean vehicles, provision of public transport facilities,

35

TRIPP 1997-2015

and construction of bicycle tracks, will not be sufficient for ensuring that our cities in the future have sustainable consumption and healthy living patterns. One of the main concerns revolves around ensuring road users safety from traffic accidents and crime. The participants discussed how a city can be made safer, independent of enforcement and policing activities. This in the belief that unless people feel safe from crime and traffic accidents they will not willingly walk, bicycle or use public transport. Therefore, urban safety becomes a necessary though not sufficient condition for the promotion of sustainable urban futures. It was agreed that we must move away from planning cities around the car, and this will only happen if there is much more interaction among professionals from different disciplines. Everyone agreed that the built environment has a strong influence on both people’s subjective perception of safety and objective safety indices. A move toward designing safer streets and neighbourhoods has to become an integral part of our efforts to move toward a more sustainable future.

The conference was co-sponsored by VREF and Eicher Motors Ltd. The proceedings of the conference and a summary have been published by Eicher Motors Ltd.

Annual International workshop on transportation planning and traffic safety (1997-2014)The International course on Transportation Planning and Safety has been organized annually since 1991. However with CoE funding the number of participants and collaborators increased. This seven day course brings together professionals working in the area of transportation planning, safety promotion, biomechanics of impact and vehicle crashworthiness, trauma and pre-hospital care, and acquaints them with state-of-the-art information. The course is especially designed for an interdisciplinary audience of traffic and road engineers, behavioural scientists, mechanical and automotive engineers, law enforcers, and police officers. The contents of the course are focused to give a global perspective on the road safety problem. The course has a common component for the first three days, followed by three parallel sessions on Traffic Safety, Biomechanics and Trauma and Pre-hospital Care in the next three days. In the last two years the course is followed by a one day research method workshop on “Statistical methods for traffic safety: Beyond simple descriptive”. This workshop is beneficial for doctorate students and graduates engaged in traffic safety research. The Course participants are made aware of the latest scientific knowledge regarding traffic planning, prevention of traffic accidents and injuries and current advances in vehicle crashworthiness and restraint systems, crashworthiness and restraint systems, and policies and methods which have been shown to be successful and those that have not worked in the past. The course enables the participants to improve or start their own programme on traffic planning and road safety, design data collection systems and avoid pitfalls common in data analysis, propose and implement road safety countermeasures and provide inputs for local and national road safety policies. The participants are selected on the basis of their involvement in transportation planning and road safety research, involvement in policy making and implementation of safety measures. An attempt is made to have a balanced mix of engineers, law enforcers, social scientists and medical professionals. Over the years approximately 800 professionals from 28 countries have attended this course. Twenty other workshops have been organised.

Transport Discussion Series 2014 Moving Around in Delhi : Vision 2030

City transport affects our lives in many ways. We are dependent on transport systems to participate in various activities spread over different parts of the city and in different time periods. How people chose to travel in cities is dependent on individual characteristics but also to a large extent on the physical and operational environment created by public policies. Amongst the high income households in Delhi, very few people walk or use bicycle for short trips also because walking and bicycling infrastructure is of poor quality and perceived to be unsafe. Today, with just 8% trips on cars, the city roads are ‘congested’.

More than 50% of the traffic fatalities involve pedestrians. Delhi is rated as one of the most polluted cities in the world.

The set of six discussion series and an exhibition of projects at the end aimed at raising some of these important issues concerning transport system and streets of Delhi.

01 - City and Transport Vision – Delhi Master Plan, 27 May 2014What kind of a city do we want? Can women, children, elderly and differently abled person access all activities safely? Discussing the mobility vision in the master plan. Chair: Prof. K.T. RavindranPanelists: Dunu Roy, Hazard Center and Ajali Aggarwal, Samarthyam

KRITIKAL SOFTWARE CO. Ltd.

TRIPP, IIT Delhi and Kritikal Software Co. Ltd. An incubation of IIT Delhi have developed a software namely “TRAZER”.

What is TRAZER?

TRAZER (TRAffic AnalyZER) is a technology that owes its birth to TRIPP, both in terms of the concept and initial funding. Kritikal which helped in developing and evolving the TRAZER Technology in its current form, provides an accurate and audit-able traffic data perfect for all traffic conditions.

TRAZER started as a development project for TRIPP to detect cars in a traffic video automatically using face detection methods. As time went by, depending upon specific needs and based on an extensive market survey, Kritikal has developed tailored TRAZER solutions to cater to a majority of research academia and the traffic and transportation industry.

• TRAZER Suite: This is a one-stop permanent solution to all the traffic survey and data collection needs. The software is not only efficient but also saves time and effort. It provides fast and automatic processing of both Video and Live feed (IP Camera). TRAZER Suite is a complete package which includes a Software and Scene Configuration module, an Automatic Traffic Counter and Classifier (ATCC) and a Collate-Feedback-Report (CFR) module. The software solution is being used by hundreds of researchers in about ten colleges across three nations.

• TRAZER Service: Several years of exposure to TRAZER development and testing has not only evolved the software into a powerful, robust and stable solution but has also resulted in a team within Kritikal who is trained and experienced in carrying out traffic surveys starting from collecting video data to generating extensive reports. With TRAZER Service, we offer this experience so that the customer need not worry about resource planning, resource training, adequate infrastructure and other details. In just one year, Kritikal has done traffic surveys for 5000+ hours of video at more than thirty

different cities and rural locations in India.

We believe that because of the uniqueness of Indian traffic conditions, India poses a challenge to traffic planners, city administrators and urban development consultants. Though there are some solutions available in the Western world for traffic planning, the same are not applicable in India and other developing countries. TRAZER has been helping the city planners and traffic consultants to analyse the traffic flow, study the statistics that are captured from the traffic video and using the data, plan the traffic conditions for any city in a more systematic manner.

Benefits• TRAZER is the only camera-based system which caters specifically to the heterogeneous traffic of the developing countries.

• Provides rich and accurate information such as vehicle class, speed and trajectory.

• Removes the probability of human error in data collection and analysis.

• With the help of CFR module, 100% accuracy can be achieved.

• Verification can be done by going back to the stored data with the help of the CFR module.

• Works with standard off-the-shelf cameras to analyse pre-recorded videos.

• Capable of processing live feed from any IP Camera in real time.

• Use of cameras enables photographic evidence. Camera system can be used to provide a live picture (recorded) of the situation in the case of any untoward happening.

• The installed camera can also be used for surveillance purposes, especially useful in the case of VVIP movement, sensitive areas, etc.

• Different solutions to fit every pocket and a variety of needs.

• Product can also be customized to suit the specific needs of traffic planners.

• Cost effective solution for city planners and traffic consultants.

Contributions to ResearchTRAZER is being used extensively by various research institutes in all corners of India for traffic research. Below are the links to some of the published research work which used TRAZER

• “Traffic Data Collection under Mixed Traffic Conditions Using Video Image Processing” published in Journal of Transportation Engineering on 2nd Dec’2008.

Academic Capacity

Within our own COE the number of academic collaborations especially for interdisciplinary Ph.D. research increased as a result of VREF funding. This includes collaboration with the Humanities and Social Sciences Department, the Mathematics department, and several other engineering departments including civil, mechanical, applied mechanics and computer science.

Master’s programme in transportation engineering in the Civil Engineering Department has been strengthened with VREF funding. This includes modernization of traffic laboratory and support to M.Tech students as fellowships and research grants. Students have received financial support for research activities including participation in international seminars.

We have established an annual TRIPP Public Lecture (On sustainable transport) which honours a professional who is recognised internationally. The last six lectures were delivered by (i) Professor Hermann Knoflacher (Technical University Vienna), (ii) Professor David Banister (Oxford University), (iii) Professor Murray Mackay (Emeritus, University of Birmingham), (iv) Prof. Ian Roberts (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine), (v) Prof. Fred Wegman (SWOV, The Safety Research Institute, The Netherlands), (vi) Dr. David Satterthwaite (International Institute of Environment and Development). Arrangements have been made to establish an endowment at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi so that this lecture series will continue even after the funding from VREF ceases to exist.

CONTRIBUTION TO NATIONAL AND GLOBAL CAPACITY BUILDING AMONG POLICY MAKERS AND PRACTITIONERS

Significant influence in framing of the National Urban Transport Policy for India. The policy stresses planning for improving access in addition to mobility in urban areas. The role of non-motorised transport and public transit has been stressed in the policy. The introduction of bus rapid transit projects in about 10 cities is a result of the same being included in this national policy

National committee to frame guidelines for a national road safety agency was established as a result of TRIPP faculty members being part of the group advocating the same. Three members of TRIPP were included as official members of the committee. A National road Safety and Traffic Management Board bill, 2010, has been tabled in the Parliament of India.

Geetam Tiwari and Dinesh Mohan are Committee members of a National Transport Development Policy Committee set up by the Prime Minister’s office to frame transport policies for India for 2030.

Capacity Building

IIT Delhi

TRIPP faculty members were involved in developing specifications for low-floor and semi-low-floor buses for India. These buses are being manufactured by Indian manufactures now and have succeeded in reducing the price of such buses for the Indian market.

TRIPP faculty members were part of the committee to modernise the Motor Vehicle Act of India with important implications for improving traffic safety and making regulations regarding public transport more logical.

TRIPP faculty members are involved in revision of all urban road standards, highway construction standards concerned with safety, helmet standards, and some motor vehicle safety standards.

Associated with the production of the World Report on Traffic Injury Prevention by the World Health Organization. The report was released by the President of France and has been distributed worldwide. It has had a significant role in pushing the road safety agenda internationally. It has had a significant influence in the content of WHO road safety and pre-hospital care publications.

Associated with writing of chapters on safety, non-motorised transport, and informal transport for documents being produced by international organisations.

Associated with organising committees of numerous international conferences on sustainable transportation and safety.

TRIPP Influence and ImpactResearchers at TRIPP have set up a very innovative combination of current and future international knowledge with local findings. This knowledge has been produced in India within the socially dominant forms prevalent here. The professionals at TRIPP have set up a system of research which responds dynamically to include a heterogeneous set of practitioners collaborating on problems defined here in localised contexts but integrating international concerns in an internally consistent format. They have set up systems for local knowledge producing mechanisms which aid researchers in responding to demands of society. Such systems are in a very nascent stage of development here, in particular, and internationally in general.

We have been able to influence national urban transport and safety policy making primarily because of the initial recognition of the academic output including publications that attracted the attention of both forward looking bureaucrats and politicians. The scientific content of our work and technical modelling exercises gave further credibility. Some of us became members of technical policy making committees appointed by the city and national governments and we used this to obtain official consensus for some of the proposals.

One of the most significant achievements in his period was the conceptualisation and design of the first 18km bus rapid corridor for the Government of Delhi. This story begins in 1996. The Central Pollution Control Board of India asked us to provide them with a comprehensive plan for sustainable transport policies for Delhi. The team produced a report titled Delhi on the Move 2005 – Future Traffic Management Scenarios. There were three main ideas in the report: (a) the non-viability of metro systems (b) the success of high capacity bus systems initiated in Curitiba (Brazil), (c) The need to establish dedicated bicycle lanes

TRIPP 1997-2015

on all arterial roads in Delhi as a pre-condition for efficient traffic flow. The study was widely reported in the press. The newly appointed Minister for Transport for Delhi took notice of the press reports and commissioned a study to prepare a Bicycle Master Plan for Delhi.

The government changed soon after that and the new Minister of Transport and the Chairman of the Delhi Transport Corporation showed renewed interest. This resulted in an International Conference on BRT in January, 2002. At the end of the conference, the Government of Delhi announced that it would initiate plans for establishing 5 BRT corridors in Delhi. Several meetings and presentations later, the Government of Delhi appointed a high level committee (which included a member from the CoE) to prepare plans for sustainable transport in Delhi. The Committee submitted its report in September 2002 and this led the way to the first corridor being designed with our participation and finally opened for operation in April 2008.

The second area of influence has been our focus on the safety of vulnerable road users as distinct from the focus in many of the high-income countries. In addition to academic publications we organised an international conference on vulnerable road users to highlight the issue (1991) and started an annual international course on traffic safety. These activities helped increase the interest in these issues nationally and among our own faculty members. More importantly, many professionals who attended these courses and conferences became more active and started supporting our work and views.

Among other things, the result of all this was that many of us participated in the preparation of the influential World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention (WHO), and were also appointed members of a national committee to look into the issue of creating a dedicated agency for road safety and traffic management for the country in 2005. Based on the Committee’s deliberations a National Road Safety and Traffic Management Board Bill is under the consideration of the Parliament of India.

Most faculty members associated with the CoE are members of international/national/local committee for policy making, standards, conference organisation. Professor Geetam Tiwari as the Editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion published by Taylor& Francis with effect from January 2009, heads the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Safety Technology at IIT Delhi. Professor Sudipto Mukherjee has been elected to the Council of International Research Council on the Biomechanics of Injury (IRCOBI) with effect from 1 January, 2011. Professor Dinesh Mohan has been nominated a member of the National Transport Development Policy Committee established by the Prime Minister’s Office, and Chaired the National Sub-Committee on Road Safety and the Environment to prepare a report for India’s 12th Five Year Plan. Professor Geetam Tiwari has been nominated a member of the Working Groups on Roads and Urban Transport for the National Transport Development Policy Committee.

INDUSTRY COLLABORATION

TRIPP COE researchers have collaborated with the vehicle industry actively. Some of the important achievements as a result of this collaboration are listed below:

• Participated in the development of a prototype for a safer school bus for Eicher Motors Ltd. Eicher has incorporated the suggestions in their SKYLINE series which they advertise as the “The First Safe School Bus in India”.

50

IIT Delhi

• Participated in the development of the bus code and specifications for the first low floor buses in India, in particular with Tata Motors and Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India.

• Provided the conceptual design criteria for a low cost small vehicle in India to Bajaj Auto Ltd. Bajaj Auto is finally going to market this new vehicle as a “quardricycle” under the brand name RE60(http://bajajauto.com/bajajre/green-story.html). The vehicle has a maximum speed of 60 km/h, seats 4, has a low fuel consumption of 35 km/I, will not be allowed on expressways and highways, and will initially operate as a taxi.

• Have been working with Ashok Leyland for safer pedestrian policies and provided conceptual inputs for safer bus fronts.

• Worked with Maruti Suzuki Ltd. In development of TV commercials for traffic safety.

• TRIPP researchers have a very fruitful collaboration with an IITD startup- Kritikal Solutions Limited. TRAZER ® (TRAffic AnalyZER) developed by Kritikal solutions is a technology that owes its birth to TRIPP. Both in terms of the concept and initial funding TRIPP supported KritiKal which helped in developing and evolving the TRAZER technology to its current form. TRAZER ® provides accurate and audit-able traffic data perfect for all traffic conditions.

FUTURE PLANS

The activities in the next five years include: Expanding the knowledge base by adding faculty members with expertise not available at present. Establishing a sponsored M.Tech programme for in-service engineers and officers. Expanding the Ph.D. programme by offering 5 more scholarships in interdisciplinary areas. Strengthening the M.Tech. Programme in terms of laboratory facilities and adding 5 more scholarships. Provide continuity to research work by the availability of seed money to augment resources obtained from sponsored projects.

The National Transport Development Policy committee (NTDPC) was constituted by the Government of India in 2010 to formulate a long-term transport policy. The committee submitted the final report to the prime minister on 10th March, 2014. The committee has given strong recommendation to support the kind of interdisciplinary research that has been the focus of TRIPP CoE. Therefore we see a possibility of receiving support from Government of India in the coming years and expanding research on sustainable transport issues.
