The project
Ambedkar Nagar to Delphi
Gate
The BRT System will be a network of ‘corridors’
which are used by buses within the city. This particular project
provided remedial measures for traffic congestion on the 14.8km
corridor from Ambedkar Nagar to Delhi Gate, which consists of 17
major signalised junctions, through the provision of an Intelligent
Transport System (ITS).
Capita Symonds was appointed by Delhi Integrated Multi Modal
Transit Systems Limited (DIMTS) to identify, and oversee the
implementation of, the ITS. The scope of work included an
assessment of the existing system and the proposal of engineering
changes to the layout of the highway in order to improve road
safety as well as traffic and bus flow through the corridor. A
detailed simulation model for the corridor was also set up to test
various bus priorities and traffic signalling strategies.
Capita Symonds also assisted the client in tendering and
procuring the first Urban Traffic Management Control Center (UTMC)
in Delhi aimed at monitoring the BRT Corridors.
Badarpur to Delhi Airport and
Dhuala Kuan to Chhawala
Capita Symonds is currently
working on behalf of Delhi Integrated Multi Modal Transit Systems
Limited (DIMTS) to prepare detailed project reports for two
proposed new bus corridors in Delhi – the 25km Badarpur to IGI
Airport corridor the 20km Dhuala Kuan to Chhawala corridor.
The focus of the reports is the development of road
infrastructure to suit BRTS corridors as well as improvements to
the road network around the corridors in order to enhance
integration with other transport modes.
The project comprises traffic and engineering surveys; preparing
micro-simulation and strategic models to assess impact; economic
and financial viability analysis, environmental and social impact
assessments; and operation and maintenance plans. Capita Symonds
will also be involved in preparing and issuing tender documents,
evaluating and selecting contractors, and providing assistance to
the client during the procurement process.
