Redesigning of autorickshaw stops at prominent location of the city Aim :
To redesign and integrate the existing public transport system used majorly in Vadodara for local transfers i.e Autorickshaws and Buses; into an efficient and effective unit of transport.
Objective:
To achieve an effective route map and a system for autorickshaws and buses , by studying six different congested locations of the city and assessing the requirements from the study and data collection.
Process :
•Mapping •Data collection •Data filteration •Case studies •Identifying issues •Conclusions •Proposing solutions •Design proposal (wrt to one selected area) •Integration of smart city elements in the design proposal •Application proposal

Five road stretches of Vadodara namely: Mahavir Hall Road , Nyaymandir Road , Gotri Road , Kalaghoda Road and Sussen Road were selected and put under common study of •mapping existing congestion points , •proposed bus stops and auto rickshaw stands , •road sections , •exisiting usage of the street patch , •density of pedestrain , auto , two wheeler and four wheeler flow , recorded at four specific time interval of the day i.e at 6am , 9am , 3pm and 6pm. All the data collected , was put into two categories of issues and solutions.

•Drainage problem in monsoon season . •Encroahment of natural drains •Waste dumping •No shading for pedestrain who are waiting •Difficult to locate.
•Traffic Congestion •Noise Pollution •Bad Drainage •Inefficient Waste Management •inefficient Public Transport •Unavaibility of Parking Near Public Transport
•Easy to locate as common reference is used. •Better shading. •Better tourism oppurtunities
•Innovative orthogonal Bus Network(horizontal,vertical,diagonal lines) •Increase Bus Frequency •Faster Routes •Easy to locate Bus stops
12
Solutions
•No space for buses to halt near bus stands due to congestion caused by auto rickshaws. •No proper co-ordination of traffic •Unauthorized halthing of two wheelers and four wheelers on roads . •Spill over of activities caused by road side vendors. •No proper route/corridor for public transport.
•Dedicated provision of auto rickshaw stands •Seperate corridor for public transport and parking •Proper traffic management to reduce congestion. •Relocation of vendors •Use of technological advacement to reach to wider scope of people and ease of control. •Application development for hasle free usage and record maintaince •Economical and faster public transport system

Gantry : As part of project in associated with MERAKI DESIGN STUDIO , VADODARA , the gantry was designed keeping in mind the city , and thus instead of showing the raw frame work of metal , it was camoflauged by laser cut panels representing city skylines and typography quotes. The gantry unit consisites of : •Infomercial display •Laser cut panels with city elements
Information Display Sensors for environmental data

Traffic survellieance poles : As part of project in associated with MERAKI DESIGN STUDIO , VADODARA , the traffic survillance pole was designed keeping in mind a structures and the esthics. Aim , was to make a pole structure in such a way that its easily built i.e easiler structural geometry but also keeoping in mind that it represents the city . Vadodara got its name from a tree called Vad i.e Banyan tree and thus , this idea was used to design the pole. The pole unit consisites of : •Traffic survillance camera
Traffic surveillance cameras
