Metro Rail Services At Kochi City - 1125 Words

1 Executive Summary This project discusses the Metro rail services to be build in Kochi city. Rapid urbanization and intense commercial developments in the recent past have resulted in steep rise in travel demand, putting Kochi’s transport infrastructure to stress. With mega projects such as ‘SMART CITY, ‘INFO PARK’, ‘FASHION CITY’ and â€Å"Vellarpadam Container Terminal†, etc. on the anvil, travel demand is expected to shoot up, strengthening the need for augmenting the transport infrastructure in Kochi region. In the absence of a mass transport system, there has been a steep increase in the number of personalized motor vehicles in GCDA area. The number of registered motor vehicles in this area was 68,271 in 1987 and it grown to 4,46,959 in the year 2003. 64% of these vehicles are two wheelers. This large number of motor vehicles is resulting in rise in air pollution, increased number of road accidents, and slowing down of average vehicular speeds. Peak hour traffic demand on Alwaye-Petta Corridor has been assessed as 13,681 phpdt for the year 2015 and this is likely to increase 21065 phpdt by the year 2025. Road-based public transport, therefore, can not meet this demand. There is an urgent need to introduce a light Metro system in the city to provide fast, safe, economic, and environment-friendly mode for mass movement of passengers. Carrying capacity of Light Metro System is upto 25,000 phpdt, which will be adequate to take care of the traffic problems for Greater CochinShow MoreRelatedAbout Visakhapatnam4847 Words   |  20 PagesVishakhapatnam and often abbreviated to Vizag) is a port city on the southeast coast of India and often called The Jewel of the East Coast .
