Transportation is also important part of society which facilitates people to work in their respective field without any hurdle. Urban transportation has made easy to convert our cities into smart city, smart way of life. Such movement has changed the way people live and travel. Transportation has facilitated the life of women in very large scale. Women safety has become one of the challenging issues for Transport Industries. There is no doubt that transportation has played crucial role in human general life. As per 2011 India Census, numbers of working women in urban India who travel to work, 45 per cent of them go on foot to their workplaces, while only 27 per cent of men walk to their jobs and 22 per cent of women undertake the journey to work by bus, the corresponding figure for men is only 14 per cent.  But when it comes to women safety, the big question arises. Does transport Industries provides women safety? [caption id="attachment_15736" align="alignnone" wid...

Land-use development and Transportation both are inter linked with each other and make different types of urban forms. Globally, there are many cities whose forms were shaped by transportation and land use. However, there is neither a systematic approach nor empirical method to understand which kinds of transportation factor should connect land use and which kinds of land-use factor should connect transportation. There is a school of thought either development should be oriented to transit or transit should orient to development. Therefore, this paper aims at reviewing whether development should come first or Transit. Finally, this paper will focus on Development Oriented Transit. Introduction Land use and Transportation both are connected with each other. Transport is the most essential component for shaping development of a city. Land use is one of the prime determinants of movement and activity which means land use determines the demand for transport. Land use may change because of ...

Bengaluru: Bengaluru  based innovative company Primerail Infralabs Pvt Ltd is developing a cycleloop PRT solution for Urban Transport and last mile connectivity solution. T he company is developing intelligent last mile mobility solution called Tietran – an autonomous self-balancing e-bike rides in air-conditioned guided tube. They already conducted 25m trials successfully and creating 400m prototype for demonstration. Tietran is an e-bike based green urban mobility solution for last mile connectivity from metro stations to dense hinterlands or between dense traffic hubs. Commuter rides e-cycle in an air conditioned light elevated tube over the medians/footpaths. Bike is the most energy efficient transport mode in the world. Bike in a dedicated lane provides reliability to commuting and offers health benefits of pedalling. Autonomous e-bike in a semi-controlled environment with self-balancing ability combined with smart switching and intelligent algorithms makes it the most...

Mumbai: As the train adorned with flowers moved slowly towards Platform Number 9 at the Borivali station in Mumbai, on Christmas morning, a standing ovation was raised. Hundreds of people showed up to witness the event: 164 years after the first train of the city and India was inaugurated, the Bombay railway system launched its first air conditioning service at 10.32 a.m. of Monday. In a city of vanished residents, the debut race of the air-conditioned train triggered an unusual enthusiasm. Dozens of people climbed into the cold confines of the compartments showing broad smiles and clicking on selfies. They inspected the automatic doors, touched the thick glass windows, and marveled at the fact that passengers could walk from one compartment to another through the lobbies between the wagons, as on long-distance trains. It is clear that the 7.5 million travelers in this city of 20 million traveling on the local train every weekday could do so with a break. At rush hour, 4,500 mumbaikars...
