Scope of study
Conduction of following full day surveys at
specified locations in Dwarka to assess the levels of demandTraffic counts Origin Destination- Roadside, Bus Stops, Metro Stations, Commercial Centres and households Residential interviews for household data Stated Preference Survey to assess demand and willingness to pay.
throughout the survey period for the above mentioned surveys. Consolidation and analysis of Traffic volume, OD as well as household data hence obtained as instructed by superiors. Conduction of Stated Preference Survey themselves and subsequent analysis of data obtained as instructed by superiors.

Basic Analysis
Stated preference survey Survey to compare preference between PRT and various modes Variation in parameters including expenditure, time of travel, comfort, security hence creating 8 scenarios for each mode of travel in which user chooses either 1 choice in each scenario based on preference Eg:
speed vs cost Speed vs comfort Cost vs comfort
This data will further be fed into a pre determined equation to see viability and fix appropriate fares and frequencies

Project background
Kumbha of Ujjain is also known as the Simhastha. Simhastha festival is organized every 12 years at Ujjain near the bank of holy river Shipra. Last time it was organised in year 2004. It will now be organised in 2016. During last Simhastha, the State Government had notified about 2150 hect. of land for the organization of Kumbha Mela which includes Government and private land. Keeping in mind that during Simhastha (Kumbh) mela, the place receives a large influx of people, a well planned strategy will be required to tackle the large number of visitors.

CITY PROFILE
Ujjain is an ancient city of central India, in the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh state. Situated on the eastern bank of the Shipra River, the city was called Ujjayini in ancient times and is referred to as Ozene by Ptolemy. It is one of the seven important religious centers in India, the others being Ayodhya, Mathura, Gaya, Kashi, Kanchi and Puri.
This mela area includes government and private lands. This allocated Simhastha
area and the city public and semi public area total 2645 hectare land comes under Simhastha area. Within this 2645 hectare land at present total usable land for Simhastha is 1500 hectare. Whereas to accommodate Simhastha-2016 projected influx as 5 crore, total required land is 2000 hectare.
IMACS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2012
Since most of the area within the Mahakal Zone has been developed, the southern additional land is planned for rehabilitation of the Akharas from there.
On the basis of the availability of maps for Simhastha Region, Ujjain City Area, features for the Base Map and the availability of other sources of information; a well structured process was adopted for the preparation of the Base Map. Key steps adopted for the preparation of the Base Map are:
Revenue Maps for the Simhastha-2004 mela area was obtained from the Simhastha Mela Pradhikaran and the same was digitised to ascertain the area being utilised for the mega event
and Road Network Map of Ujjain Existing land-use and road network map obtained from UMC, UDA etc. was also digitised so as to have the city and Simhastha area on a common platform. Preparation of Combined Digitised Map The next step undertaken was to assimilate the revenue and the city network plan in one plan which represents the whole city area.
demarcation
Based on the existing map a plan was proposed for the utilization of land including basic land use, plot demarcation, transport facilities and routes.

The first step to plan for water supply for Simhastha region will be the identification of water sources from which water can be supplied to the mela region.
After identifying the sources, comes the stage for location of treatment and storage tanks. These facilities should be so located so that the whole mela region is covered.
Once the storage tanks and treatment plants are finalised, then comes the stage for designing distribution network.

The first stage will be the division of area into smaller zones. It is proposed that the Simhastha entire area can be divided into a number of zones so that these zones can be managed easily and can be attended to efficiently.
The second stage will then focus on the type of sewer treatment system to be installed and accordingly to plan a network for laying sewer pipe lines.
The final stage will be to select a proper disposal system of the treated effluent. For this stage, it is suggested that efforts should be made to bring down the quantity and toxicity of wastewater as low as possible and then discharging it at the downstream side of Kshipra river.
A number of locations have to be identified where electric sub-stations can be located. In the northern area, Bherugad will be ideal for providing a substation. Other locations which can be considered for locating substations are Mangalnath and Vallabhnagar.
There will be requirement of control rooms spread in the mela region. These control rooms can be located at Vallabhnagar, Dat Akhada and Bherugadh area.
In order to tackle and manage the issues and problems of solid waste management during the Simhastha 2016, Clean Tech Ventures AES Pvt. Ltd has been appointed as consultants.

This was undertaken to establish the number of passengers using these infrastructural facilities.
For Train Passenger Terminal Surveys, passenger volume count for train passengers for each location was carried out at entry/ exit of the major railway stations. Similarly, all the bus terminals/ depots taxi stands etc. were covered.
IMACS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2012
Passenger Terminal OD Surveys were carried out at the identified bus, train terminals in order to establish the traveling pattern of the passengers which are using the terminal facilities. Details like trip origin, destination, length, time taken, cost of the trip, propose etc were collected from the passengers captured through random sampling. Workplace Inventory Surveys were carried out in order to establish the major work centers located in the city
Basic Analysis
Computerization of Raw Data & Digitization of Road Network Maps: The first step of the analysis included the computerization of the raw data. Simultaneously, a digitized map of the city network with a fair degree of accuracy was prepared.
Tabulation and Basic Analysis of Traffic Volume, Occupancy and Workplace Inventory: Analysis of digitized traffic volume, occupancy and workplace inventory data. Directional classified traffic volume counts analyzed to obtain Average daily, hourly variation and Peak Hour flows etc.
