.
Roadway and waterway are plays an important role in
our country’s society and economy as well as in our multi-
modal transportation system. Its low expenses and high
accessibility, as compared with other alternatives, amplifies a
great demand for carrying goods and passengers within the
country.
•The main objective of this study is to introduce
non- conventional mode of transportation at urban level and
reduce environmental impacts , traffic congestion, traffic
delay and large traffic emissions at urban level by introducing
alternative mode of transportation.
•Selection of route for water transportation is from
Subhas bridge circle to paldi circle and carrying out the
analysis for the route.

4. CONTINUE….
• Comparing the distance, time and feasibility for the water
transportation to the various other modes of transportation and
mass transportation in the Ahmedabad city.
• Carrying out the study for the social, economical and
ofenvironmental impacts related with the various
transportation and comparing them.

January-march 2005
Conclusion:-
in India (Prosenjit dev chaudhary)
In this study rail and road are the principal modes
of transport in the country and the competition between the two is
of clear relevance to policy-makers, it should be remembered
that waterways and pipelines have a significant share in
freight movement. Hence, studies on modal choice should also
take into account these other modes and examine their relation to
the rail and road modes.

Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol. 5, pp. 16 - 31, 2005
Conclusion:-
The unit which occurs on activity is taken as the study unit of
discrete choice model. According to our investigation and
calculation and the difference of factors influencing the
preference of shippers and carriers, we sum up three
main factors, cost, time and reliability. So we bring these
main factors into model. Some cargoes with high value in
volume or weight unit and the volume of them is not
much, so only airway transportation is suitable for these
cargoes for fast arrival and less accident. We will continue
our study on how to bring these factors into model.

9. 3) Transport mode choice by land transport users (Sutanto
Conclusion:-
Although the research findings do not fully supported the
whole ecological model proposed that covers individual, social,
and environmental factors, the research model that needs to
be expanded to be more specific explaining how the factors
and levels really interact each other. Then, it can be used
to identify appropriate levels of detail and the
mechanism for the model. Positive-negative relationship of
the factors needs to be undertaken to explain the details more
fully.

10. 4) Public transport mode selection: a review of international
practice (Stephen Luke, Mott MacDonald) (2nd
International Conference on Civil Engineering
(ICEECE'2012) Singapore April 28-29, 2012)
Conclusion:-
Public transport mode choice is primarily driven by socio-
economic criteria in all of international regions examined. This
in turn is dependant on the potential passenger market for public
transport and the trip patterns of prospective users. Particularly
in Australasia and North America, land use development
over the past 30-40 years has resulted in very low density,
single use development with dispersed trip patterns not well
served by traditional line-haul public transport. Consequently
the concept of bus rapid transit has developed to serve this
land use development.

Conclusion:-
This study focused on two objectives: 1) determining
relevant federal investments on highway and waterway freight
modes and 2) calculating investment efficiency for each
of these modes. This was accomplished using data collected
from multiple transportation agencies and federal sources
based on the availability of the most recent information. This
offers the potential for determining appropriate policy
decisions and the importance of making proper future
investments.

14. STUDY AREA MAP

15. Profile of Ahmedabad
CityIt is one of the fifth largest cities and seventh
largest metropolitan areas of India. Ahmedabad has
metropolitan population of 6.4 million. Ahmedabad is located
on the banks of the River Sabarmati, which is 32 km away
from the capital state of Gandhinagar. As per Census of
India 2011, the area under Ahmedabad Municipal
Corporation contains population of 3,520,085. The population
of the area of Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority
(AUDA) was 4,525,013. The total length of navigable
waterways in India is about 14,500 km, of which 5,700 km
is navigable by mechanically propelled vessels. Presently
2012 there are 1.45 million vehicles in Ahmedabad city,
growing at 7% per year.

16. REGISTERED MOTOR VEHICLES IN
INDIA
• With a registered motor vehicle population of 174 lakh,
the State of Maharashtra accounted for the largest share
(12.3%) of the total registered motor vehicles in the
country. Tamil Nadu recorded the second highest share
(11.0%) of registered motor vehicles, followed by Uttar
Pradesh (9.4%), Gujarat (9.2%) and Andhra Pradesh
(7.2%).
• These five States together accounted for about 49% of the total
vehicles registered up to 31st March, 2011. Registered vehicles
in the country grew at a Compound Annual Growth Rate
(CAGR) of 9.9% between 2001 and 2011.

20. VARIOUS SURVEYS
• O-D survey
• Traffic volume count
survey
• Speed survey

21. O-D SURVEY (ROAD SIDE INTERVIEW
METHOD)
• Road-side interview survey is one of the methods of carrying
out a screen-line or cordon survey. The road side
interview survey can be done either by directly interviewing
drivers of the vehicles at selected survey points or by
issuing prepaid post cards containing the questionnaire to all
or a sample of the drivers.

24. Traffic volume count survey
• Traffic volume is a variable. It is of great significance to the
traffic engineer. Traffic volume study is essentially a counting
process involving quantity of movement per unite time at
a specified location. The counting process generally
includes composite group of different type vehicles (both
slow and fast). The selected time periods in hours, days,
weeks, months, or year depend upon purpose of the study
and the required degree of accuracy.
Hours of count Normal period of study
12 hrs. 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
18 hrs. 7 a.m. to 1 a.m.
8 hrs. (peak hour) 7-11 a.m. - 2-6 p.m.
4 hrs. (peak hour) 7-9 a.m. - 4-6 p.m.

25. ROAD NETWORK
• The greater Ahmedabad area roadway system is approximately
3478 Kms. Other than the National Highway Authority, which
maintains National Highways and the State Roads and
Buildings Department, the two urban local bodies; AMC and
AUDA, are responsible for developing, operating
and maintaining road infrastructure

27. Spot Speed survey
• Speed of vehicle fluctuates from time along the
road and its value as show on the speedometer at a
particular spot is called the “spot speed”. The traffic
police is interested in these speed- checks at
problematic locations (spot), while a trip maker is
more interested in the total journey time involved
in the complete journey on the “journey speed”. It is on
the part of the traffic engineer that desirable journey
speed is maintained on the highway system. For
maintaining good journey speeds, the delay or
involuntary stop due to road congestion should be
minimum and vehicle should be running
smoothly. This involves the concept of running time
and running speed of vehicle

28. Analysis of spot speed survey

29. Over view of Sabarmati
riverfront ahmedabad
One of the world’s top advisory firm has included
Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project in the list
of ‘100 Most Innovative Projects’ towards urban regeneration
that make cities livable as well as sustainable.

30. A release by about the Sabarmati Riverfront states,
“The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project is an
urban regeneration and environmental improvement initiative
currently under way in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It involves the
reclamation of a 10.5 kilometer stretch of the banks of the
Sabarmati River, creating a new public space for cultural
and civic institutions. Along the river, space will be made
for recreation use and markets. The aim is to transform the
stretch of river from a geographical divider in the middle of the
city to a focal point for leisure and recreation.”

31. Since Shri Narendra Modi took over as Chief Minister in 2001,
he decided to give immense importance to the re-development of
the Sabarmati River front. Apart from serving as an icon for the
city of Ahmedabad, the project will bring a
marked environmental improvement in the city by allowing
retaining of ground water and providing cleaner water to the
city. It also provides a green coverage in the heart of
Ahmedabad

Rhine River is situated in Netherlands. Around 310 million
tonnes of goods are carried on the Rhine each year (208
million tonnes without taking into account the Rhine traffic in
the Netherlands). Traffic in 2007 increased by 2.6 % mainly in
the agricultural (4.6 %) and the metallurgic (15.7 %)
sectors. Demand had been particularly strong for the
transport of dry goods (4.4 %). At the same time, the
Rhine navigation only moderately (+2.2 %) benefited from
the general growth of the transport of containers.
Moreover, tanker transport decreased in 2007 by 3.5 %,
due to the general decrease (10 %) in the transport of oil
products.

the Future by Molnul Hossaln Journal of
Architectural/Planning Research and Studies
Volume 5. Issue 2. 2007
The waterway networks have been paved over with roads
and the existing water transport facilities along the Chao Phraya
River and its canals in Bangkok. Moreover, the existing
system lacks adequate accessibility, inter-modal linkages as
well as safety. It intends to recommend some measures to
improve the transportation system along these canals in Bangkok
and exhibits how the reincarnation of this mode of transport
can leave the urban transportation planners with substantial
alternatives to provide mobility when traffic congestion and
safety issues still remain unsolved in Bangkok

The modal share of road transport is increasing at the cost of
IWT. The advantages of other modes (speed of delivery,
flexibility), limitations of infrastructure (water levels,
bridge clearances, port access) and underdeveloped intermodal
facilities (transshipment from IWT to truck for pre- and end-
haulage) are among the main arguments shippers use to avoid
IWT. The lower carbon footprint of IWT transport appears to
be a less important factor in their cost-benefit calculations

37. • Bangkok
Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand and the most
populous city in the country. The city occupies
1,568.7 square kilometers (605.7 sq. mi) in the
Chao Phraya River delta in Central Thailand, and has a
population of over eight million, or 12.6 percent of
the country's population. Water-based transport still
plays an important role in Bangkok and the
immediate upstream and downstream provinces

39. DATA COLLECTION FOR WATERWAY ON
SABARMATI CANAL, AHMEDABAD
• Length of Sabarmati canal from subash bridge to paldi: - 10
km
• Name of company of boat: - Yamaha
• Speed of boat: - high speed: - 70 km/hour
• Low speed: - 30 km/hour
• Time of travelling from subhas bridge to paldi in high
speed boat:- 9 minute
• Time of travelling from subhas bridge to paldi in low speed
boat: - 20 minute
• Capacity of boat: - 10 person

40. CONCLUSION
In this project we have done various survey like O-D
survey, volume count survey, spot speed survey and analysis of
that. And if the some of person use the waterway than the traffic
is reduce. The travelling number of vehicle reduce from
subhas bridge to paldi road so accident rate reduce and air
pollution may also reduce and after the no need for increase the
width of the road. and the fuel also consumption.
•Reduce traffic congestion up to 20% due to starting the
waterway between subhash bridge to paldi.
•40 to 50 % AMTS users choosing the conventional water way
for daily travelling between different station so frequency of
AMTS buses between Subhash bridge to paldi Station are reduce

41. • Reduce Fuel consumption up to 20% and also reduced air and
noise pollution
• Improve in Level of Service E to Level of Service C
In this dissertation, a route choice model has been developed in
advanced discrete choice modeling techniques between
waterway and existing roadway which was impossible to
discern and the result of this model can be a guideline for the
decision maker to promote waterway use to reduce commute
trip from roadway for the reduction of traffic congestion. A
preliminary survey has been conducted to collect the
influential parameters for final survey.
