Traffic and Transport Advisory for Bagmane Developers Pvt. Ltd. Site Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka Site Area: 13 million sq ft. The following are a few traffic impact analysis done for the various tech parks done by Bagmane Developers. With the rapid expansion of the city of Bengaluru, traffic and congestion is a major problem creating a large rise in pollution in the air. Being the IT capital of India, along with the help of traffic consultants they aim to inch towards a greener and more effecient transport system for their tech parks. Providing last mile connectivity and enhance internal connectivity with the help of feeder buses.

World Heritage walled cityFrieght management system
Site Location: World heritage walled city, Ahmedabad The project scope included preparing a mobility plan for the walled city of Ahmedabad along with Urban Management Centre, Ahmedabad. I was involved in identifying existing markets and godowns, understanding freight movements in the walled city and to Ahmedabad and developing a plan for freight management. I was also involved in analysis of the peak hour traffic data collected for the various points as shown.

Peak time in the study area was determined using a combination of Google maps and local knowledge. Congestion points in the study area were identified based on peak times. Based on local knowledge and stakeholder consultation, a few survey locations were identified throughout the study area. This helped to identify congestion points for which mid block surveys were conducted during morning and evening peak hours.
Morning peak passenger congestion time is at 1130 to 1400 hours
Evening peak passenger congestion time is at 1730 to 2030 hours
Comparison of evening and morning peak The midblock surveys at these locations have helped in identifying the composition of freight traffic on the carriageway during peak. It also helps to identify composition of freight, traffic pattern and mode used during supply chain. Although freight vehicles have a negligible impact on evening peak traffic, they account for one-third of total volume during morning peak on peripheral roads 18
Identifying the issues
Parked freight vehicles on carriageway during evening peak
Parked freight vehicles on carriageway during morning peak
Freight vehicles that park near the warehouses block the carriageway and create bottlenecks for traffic.
Mapping of warehouses at Sarangpur and parked freight vehicles.

Knowledge Hub- Gandhinagar Site Location: Gandhinagar, Gujarat Site Area: 5.5km stretch The project scope included designing of 5.5km long street network along with cycle friendly streetscape, landscaping, intersection design, and infrastructure upgrade. I was involved in preparing the initial design proposal of the project. The project aims to emphasis on the use of Non- motorised transport along the corridor and help in facilitating intractive learning for the various instituitons around the site.

Urban Context Studio Site Location: Ashram Road
Ashram road being the central bussiness district of Ahmedabad has presented a lot of opportunity for the growth and development of public spaces in the city. With the idea of having green, breathable space in the heart of the city along with maintaining the purity of the river, the project explores the various ideas of having green urban spaces as a part of the built environment. The project is a studio exploration project which was done as a part of a group. The following drawings are my contribution to the project.

Loving Community Housing Site Location: Vastral, Ahmedabad, Gujarat Site Area:12,000 sq m Total Built-up: 7,969 sq m (approx.)
This project aims to enhance the living of migrant leprosy community. The project involved surveying the existing households and mapping of the household to understand the current living conditions and help build a better standard of living for the community without compromising the existing public spaces of the community. The project intends to help in bringing a behavioral change in terms of hygiene and sanitation and also makes sure that the community is also evolving along with the current urban fabric.
