Why Road network and Urban Transport?

What are the major study components?

What are the required data?

How are they going to be analyzed?

3
What are the major study components?

Road and its attributes Railway line

Airports Bus rapid transit 4

What are the major study components?

Ports/docks and lake/sea routes

Transport Service providing institutions

5
What are the major study components?
– The SP shall consider
• assumed modes of transport in the urban region and
• network linkages to the principal urban area
– in view of location, significance and distributional
aspects.
– Road transport is one important mode of modern
transport applicable to all categories of towns with
differential levels of design.
– Our major concern will be on the road transport and its
attributes
• Various modes
6
What are the major study components?

The different modes do have specific requirements of accommodation

7
What are the major study components?

 Along with modern vehicular

transport, a large proportion
of intra-urban and rural-
urban linkage is affected by
walking.
 Therefore, pedestrian access
and animal tracks at the
important rural-urban entry
points also need
consideration.

8
What are the major study components?
 In some fast-growing cities,
intermediate transport is
emerging as key transport
means.
 This needs to be
incorporated in the
structure plan in response to the level
of interaction observed.

What are the required data?
Collect data on Transport and
mobility Aspects
 Identify use, condition,
distribution, hierarchy,
and network system of
roads in the city
 Undertake observation and
note down problems associated
with streets and their network
system
 Take note in terms of accessibility,
traffic density, and on the
condition of existing road network
system
What are the required data?
 Collect data on functionally important
roads and non-motorized transport
network system
 Trend of freight & passenger
transportation
 Identify cattle trekking and important trails
for efficient circulation
 Interaction between origin and
destinations;
 Identify and collect data on
trolley and tramways, LRT etc.
What are the required data?
 Identify the problems
and constraints for the
development of the transport sector;
 Conduct site survey and identify
problems associated
with location and functional compatibility
of the various modes of transportation
 Identify the extent of
uses, location, condition,
distribution, and length and density of
roads
 Undertake site observation
and note down problems
associated with streets and their
network
What are the required data?
 Air, train, and water
 Compatibility of the
airport and its surrounding
land use
 Collect data on traffic management
system and traffic accident

 Collect data on challenges &

constraints of mobility and
transportation system
What are the required data?
Cordon and Screenline Traffic Count
What are the required data?

 Rail & Tramway

 Conduct observation on
hierarchical articulation,
distribution, spaces between
streets and railway systems,
accessibility,
 Take graphic and written notes
What are the required data?
Conduct inventory on Transport
Terminals and Parking

 Terminals
 Bus , LRT, Rail, Water, and Air
 Intra-city and Inter-city Terminals
 Freight-Terminal (Dry Port, Freight,
etc.)
 Parking
 Parking building
 Park and Ride
 Surface parking
How are they going to be analyzed?
 Analyze intra and inter urban
transport linkage,
 Analyze population-road,
road-total land use
densities in the town
 Analyze the road by hierarchy, type,
condition, proportion

 Analyze transport facilities in terms

of distribution, adequacy of space,
accessibility, Location, Physical
condition, Centrality etc. and take
graphic and written notes
How are they going to be analyzed?

How are they going to be analyzed?
 Analyze main modes of transport, passengers trip, etc.
 Analyze the extent and trend of traffic
congestion and accidents,
 Analyze availability and compatibility of parking spaces.
 Analyze availability and situation of
overpass, underpass, interchange, intersections
 Analyze availability, distribution, and compatibility
of fuel stations, garages, tire repairs, car washes, etc
How are they going to be analyzed?
 Analyze the compatibility of transport and related
activities with other nearby functions, the size, centrality,
topography, accessibility, distribution
 Percentage of the land use covered by transport and
related activities from the total built-up area would be
calculated.
 Comparison of proportion of area under transport and
related activities against standards
How are they going to be analyzed?
Bus terminal
 Accessibility: - accessible by major and/or arterial road;
 Compatibility: - the intensity of vehicular traffic, it should be
far from noise-sensitive areas such as schools, hospitals,
libraries, etc.;
 Topography: - it is preferable if the slope the site is between
1 and 5%;
 Availability of infrastructure and other facilities (telephone,
electric power, water pipeline,etc.);
 Centrality: As much as possible, a bus terminal should be
proposed in the geographic center of the town
 Size / Area:- depends on the number and types of vehicles
to be served.
 It is highly advisable to put bus terminal closer to the
How are they going to be analyzed?
 The selection and level of bus station depends up on
many factors:
 the number of vehicles that park at peak hour
assigned in a day;
 the importance of the urban center as commercial,
administrative, etc. and related activities that
require numerous passengers,
 the extent of connection with important urban
centers and level of connecting roads, etc are the
major ones.
How are they going to be analyzed?
Other Transport facilities
 Railway station should be proposed on the outskirt of the town so
that it does not affect its future growth;
 Freight terminal should be proposed away from the inner part/core
part of the town;
 Around the freight terminal hotel/motel services should be available;
 Better to locate railway station and freight terminal in the areas
dominated by industries and warehouses;
 Inland port would be proposed in conjunction with freight terminal,
away from the core part of the town;
 Parking lots should be proposed in the localities that originate
and terminate vehicular circulations; and,
 Air-strip should be proposed away from the town, as per the
standard set by Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority.
