The document discusses ridership projections and egress analysis for Vijaya Nagar station across multiple years. It evaluates the station plan against National Building Code rules for egress and suggests modifications. Key parameters considered for station design are also outlined.

The station is projected to see ridership increases from 120-130 passengers per hour currently to over 400 passengers per hour by 2054 during peak hours on the upline. Ridership on the downline is projected to increase from around 90 currently to over 170 by 2054 during peak hours.

The document evaluates the station plan against requirements for evacuating passengers from the platform and through fare gates within specified time limits. It finds that with the current configuration, the plan does not pass NBC rules for egress. Widening staircases is suggested as a modification for compliance.
