Chapter 1: Introduction
In this project we are working on how to reduce traffic in Ahmedabad city due to GSRTC buses. Now a day’s increase in the no of vehicle rate is going to climb to high so the road design in city area is not carry out all traffic of vehicles. So we are counting problems due to GSRTC buses in city area. Mainly its affect the delay in time, Increase the Pollution, Heavy traffic, Millage of vehicle, Increase the journey time, Parking Problems, Longer commuting Public transport inadequacy Difficulties for non-motorized transport Loss of public space High maintenance costs Environmental impacts and energy consumption Accidents and safety Land consumption Freight distribution
1.1 List of Problems
1. Delay in time
2. Increase Pollution
3. Heavy Traffic

Maintenance Cost of Vehicle During traffic time maximum no of vehicle is under break clutch use increase the maintenance cost buses in Ahmedabad region the average millage of GSRTC buses are 6Kmph and in Ahmedabad city its convert into 3-4Kmph so it is very critical point for the traffic problem as well as the money concern. For increasing the millage of GSRTC buses in city area we are think about how to resolved this problem and increase the benefits of local Government.
1.1.7 Parking Problem Congestion is one of the most prevalent transport problems in large urban transportation, usually above of about 1 million people. It is particularly linked with motorization and the diffusion of the automobile, which has increased the demand for transport infrastructures. However, the supply of infrastructures has often not been able to keep up with the growth of mobility. Since vehicles spend the majority of the time parked, motorization has expanded the demand for parking space, which has created space consumption problems particularly in central
We are writing this letter to propose solutions to the lack of parking and large amount of traffic on the Millersville University campus. This proposal will focus on making parking spaces on and near campus easier to find for students who have to drive to campus every day. Parking and traffic on campus is often a nightmare for students who commute. Too often, these students are forced with two choices: to park in a space reserved for University faculty and risk getting a parking ticket, or to drive around campus looking for a commuter-designated space and risk being late for class.
With environmental action becoming the social norm, Thompson claims autonomous cars will drastically reduce the need to search for parking as these electric vehicles will have the capability of cruising the streets and returning to its owner when instructed (10). As a result, the need for parking spaces will be greatly reduced, and the environmental impacts of circling for a parking spot will become obsolete. According to Thompson, the unused parking areas could be repurposed for recreational use, therefore creating a better urban community. Nevertheless, self-driving cars will not provide or be an adequate solution to the “issue” of parking.

One of the first solutions is the governments should create measures, such as make streetcar that is an energy saving and promote other transit systems, like bicycles or eco-friendly electric cars. In fact, the train and the streetcar are the most eco-friendly vehicles, because these produced lower CO2 emissions than cars and air plane. In Europe, twenty cities in 11countries are using these eco-friendly vehicles. Therefore, European people are actively working on decrease the environmental problems. If Hawaiian people use these eco-friendly vehicles, people will be stress reliever of the traffic congestion as well.
This makes the almost exclusive personal automobile user the perfect candidate to read Shoup’s work. The chapter is further tailored to this audience by avoiding urban planning jargon and by using examples that make each point understandable and real to an everyday person. To make the free parking problem an issue that readers can feel personally involved in, Shoup quotes New York Times Columnist David Brooks. The excerpt from Brooks is about a mall with typical stores like Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Old Navy found across the United States. He describes the parking lots that surround these large shopping centers: extensive asphalt lots stretching as far as
The rapid expansion of car ownership revolutionised urban planning, as a new feature of the urban landscape must be accounted for. Prior to the widespread adoption of the car, cities were designed around pedestrians and public transport. The planning authorities now had to ensure enough space was set aside for parking, traffic management, and routes for the vehicles to travel on. The expansion of car ownership also allowed for a different style of urban planning, resulting in the expansion of suburbs and development of urban freeways. In this essay, I will discuss how the car has changed urban environments, particularly Los Angeles in California.
Imagine you are running behind schedule due to heavy traffic, but finally arrive onto campus with mere minutes to spare. You avoided road rage to suddenly notice that there is no where you can possibly park. If you have not had the pleasant opportunity to experience such a stressful scenario, then you are very fortunate. However, if you have experienced the hassle of overcrowded parking lots, then you are aware and can relate to the issues of this matter. The campus parking lots are utilized by both faculty, staff, and students for the duration of that day, but by night the lots are as a deserted island inhabited by only those that reside on campus.
“Parklets can take up just one of two metered parking spaces where you can create a small area with seats and planting.” (Mott, 2012) The parklet program was developed in San Francisco, and residents said that when the drivers see human activity in their peripheral vision, it slows them
The “Parking Lot Problem” sounds like it may be just a general and very broad topic, but just ask any student who drives that attends Marist College. The issue with such limited parking here at Marist is just one of the many questions that emerge from the student population. With the student body population on the rise over the course of a few years, the parking spaces available have not been able to keep up at the same rate. With the dilemma of there being not enough parking here on campus growing so rapidly, I decided to interview a few different people who are members of the Marist community. They all have experienced the parking situation quite different, but know that there needs to be something done as soon as possible.
College should add more space for parking lots. College need to make sure that if the parking is more available to anyone that would more space for anyone that can found. Many people who struggle to find park and be late in class and miss any new information. People easy find parking lots in morning before the class start.
Traffic congestion is a condition on convey networks that occurs as use increases, and is characterized by more gradual speeds, longer trip times, and incremented vehicular queueing. The most mundane example is the physical utilization of roads by conveyances. When traffic demand is great enough that the interaction between conveyances slows the haste of the traffic stream, this results in some congestion. As demand approaches the capacity of a road (or of the intersections along the road), extreme traffic congestion sets in. When conveyances are plenarily ceased for periods of time, this is colloquially kenned as a traffic jam or traffic snarl-up.
Regular vehicle maintenance and service has become a top priority among car owners. This ascertains the car’s life-span and the car owner’s safety as well. It helps in detecting the smallest defects and prevents it from turning into major issues thereby decreasing any service and/or repair expenses. In addition, if the car is treated well it even contributes towards a healthy environment. For regular car maintenance your car manual or handbook is fit for guidance.
Another important issue that even students get late to their school and everything will not be in time. Congestion always happens when people go and come from work so employs play a big part in congestion and it happens especially in big cities as the streets are big and people have their own cars not like towns or villages. In big cities, people prefer to use more their own private cars than using public transport but in towns they prefer the public transport. So, in big cities there will always be traffic jam as there are so many private cars in the street. When cars are banned then the traffic jam would disappear and people will be able to arrive in time and won’t affect
CHAPTER 1 1. INTRODUCTION The air we respire contains mixture of natural and man-made chemical, physical and biological elements that modifies ambient air quality. Among all air pollutants, the most threatening for human health include particulate matter and gaseous pollutants such as carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (WHO). The movement of people into urban areas and the growth of industry within these areas has carried more people into contact with air pollution than any other time in recent memory.
With the increase of population the number of vehicles in the urban areas will also increase, but if the land area won’t get expand it will lead to traffic congestion. This is a huge negative impact on the country’s economy. The main negative impact from traffic congestion is the wastage of fuel, energy. Other than that; wastage of time, difficulties in parking, less efficiency and effectiveness are some negative impacts of traffic congestions. • HIGH MAINTANANCE COST
