Issues Due To Encroachment

Pedestrians were forced to pass through the subway because no pedestrian crossing was provided to cross the road so most of the people rush through the subway peak hours .Due to encroachment of street vendors 40 percent area of subway were encroached and many vacant spaces were created even in over crowding. due to encroachment bottlenecks were created due to varrying width of subway.In these way the pedestrian moment is highly affected due to encroachment

Rationale forchoosing area of trade

Reason forpurchasing from street vendors

PASSING TIME OF PEDESTRIANS IN OPTIMALPATHIN SUBWAY

Based on the average passing time taken during peak hours in week days and different scenarios

Passing time during morning peak hours: 1min 17sec

Passing time during evening peak hours: 1min 08sec

Utilisation of negative space

Morning : 1min 12 secs

Evening : 0min 58secs

Duration of peak hours

Morning : 8am to 10am Evening : 5pm to 7pm

Passing is calculated from the first step of staircase at entry point of subway to the last step of stairs in exit. The passing time is calculated on regular interval pedestrian density from the bus stand

REGION OF SHORTEST DISTANCE

This implies that the majority of commuters have a specific destination during rush hour and are familiar with the layout of the station. They often choose the route that is shortest. Which is considered as an optimum and efficient path in subway

Passing time during morning peak hours

: 1min 12sec

Passing time during evening peak hours : 1min 06sec

While entering the subway details based on guindy metro about the destination were given and way to metro station is provided as visual information

The pedestrian behaviour through the subway do not take the optimal path to their destination, but rather they chooses their path based on visual information with in their cone of vision.Available to them. Pedestrian adjust left right during movement in subway to obtain clear vission of path they have to move

FORMATIONVACANT/ NEGATIVE SPACES IN SUBWAY

Due to encroachment of street hawkers and influence of human psycology there many spaces left unused even in over crowding

There is designated path for pedestrian from railway station to bus stop due to encroachment and open spaces

4.12 PEDESTRIAN FLOWAND DENSITY

shows the density of in and areas of

Diagram varring pedestrians surrounding subway. Pedestrian movement based on the buses in the guindy bus stop because 90% of pedestrians moves to the subway after they depart from the bus. The interval of overcrowding in subway depends on the arriaval of buses and trains in railway station . Most of pedestrian goes to ticket counter of railway station from the exit of subway and some of people moves to metro station.

Pedestrian Flowand Collision

There is no designated path for pedestrians from railway station to bus stop so ther were lot collision between pedestrian due to encrachment

.Pedestrians from railway station uses vacant places to reach there destinations from bustop to railway fromrailway.S to bus stop

There is no way for pedestrians to exit from subway due to traffic and congestion and maximun no of people entering the subway at a same time

Pedestrians who the vacant spaces as a path of to exit the subway from railway station are blocked in many places due to high pedestrian traffic

Place were the completely opposite stream of pedesrian flow enters the subway
