A STUDY OF MODAL SPLIT ANALYSIS ON NEW WEST ZONE OF AHMEDABAD CITY

Abstract

Transport situation in most Ahmedabad cities is rapidly deteriorating because of the increasing travel demand and
inadequate transportation system. Indian cities of all sizes are facing the crisis of urban transport. Despite investments in road
infrastructure and plans for land use and transport development, problems of congestion, accidents and pollution are continuously
increasing. Industrialization and rapid urbanization is leading people to migrate towards cities resulting in increase of travel demand in
the urban areas. The existing inefficient transport systems are encouraging people to use personal vehicles which in turn increase the
share of private mode of transport, declining public transport share causing various traffic problems.. Public transport plays a major
role is reducing traffic problems in urban and has become a major issue in most metropolitan and urban areas in sought of resolving
various transport problems. Efficient transport policies and strategies are required for the proper development of a city considering all
the aspects of transportation. Planning of efficient public transport policies to provide seamless travel is needed for attracting travellers
towards public transport to develop sustainable cities with reduced use of private vehicles and therefore there is need for understanding
the behaviour of travellers to frame the policies. The behaviour of people in the study area towards public transport is analysed by
conducting revealed as well as stated preference survey. Two Type of survey are taken house hold survey and corodon line survey and
also use logit and regression model and transcade software for better understand model split analysis.
