exercise of preparation of Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) in its entirety. It defines
the objectives of the Consultancy, outlines preliminary profile of the Study area, reviews
the Approach and Methodology to be adopted, envisages detailed proposals for various
activities and sets out the workplan & manning schedule towards completion of the
exercise.
1.1 NEED FOR THE CMP
Recent development of city has results in transport problems, such as traffic congestion
increase in travel time. In order to provide long term strategic plans focused on mobility
of people based on cost effective and equitable urban transport measures with an
appropriate and consistent methodology in line with National Urban Transport Policy
(NUTP), CMP is need for this city.
1.2 OBJECTIVE
The main objectives of the Consultancy are as follows:
• To identify the various issues and problems in existing transport system in the city.
• To recognize the varying need and priorities of the different transportation users
and stake holders.
• To provide mobility to all transportation users
• To present a long term vision (2031) of desirable mobility patterns.
• To provide strategy and policy measures to achieve this vision.
• To provide effective and sustainable urban development

1.3 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

1.3.1 STUDY AREA

Planning Area (LPA) comprising of Corporation area and its urbanisable environs with
peripheral control belt till the 2031 was considered for the Master Plan. Existing land

5 of 39

use plan and proposed land use plan till 2031 for LPA area are available, entire LPA area
or a portion of it more than the corporation extent to cover the future urbanisable area
may be considered. The Consultant would like to have a detailed interaction with the
project authorities before finalizing the same as it would have financial implications due
to the reason that additional surveys to be carried out which were not considered at the
time of consultants’ proposal preparation.
1.4 SITE APPRECIATION
Patiala with its population of 3. 03 lakhs is the fourth largest city of Punjab. And also it is
one of the counter magnets considered outside National Capital Region (NCR) other
than Bareily, Hissar, Gwalior and Kota in order to reduce the pressure on Delhi. On
account of substantial administrative, institutional and commercial development that
has already taken place, its growth impulses have led to growth outside the limits of
Municipal Corporation of Patiala. LPA Patiala comprises of 155 villages, out of which 10
villages (few of them part villages) have been merged in Municipal Corporation area of
Patiala and one village (part of it) consisting of Municipal Council of Sanaur. The total
area of Patiala Municipal Corporation is 50. 11 sq. km. According to Census 2001, the
total population of LPA Patiala was 485497 a person out of which 341819 was urban.

and is located at a distance of about 75 km towards southwest from Chandigarh. It lies
25 km away from the Grand Trunk Road (i. e. National Highway No. 1) and is about 250
km from Delhi. It is well connected with important urban centers of Punjab by the
network of national highway, state highways and district roads. The city is linked with
railway network as Rajpura branch railway line passes through the city. It extends from

1.4.3.1 Residential
It is quite evident from table above that residential use has a larger share of developed
area. Out of the total area of U. A Patiala, 2600. 59 ha. is under residential use which
includes both planned and unplanned development. Out of this, total developed
residential area of 1504. 61 ha. is under planned / regulated schemes which is almost
58%. This planned, regulated residential area comprises of Tripuri, Model Town,
CPA and Town Planning Schemes, three Urban Estates, one pocket under OUVGL
scheme of PUDA, two Development Schemes of Improvement Trust and are
uniformly located in the city except south and south – west.

1.4.3.2 Commercial
The commercial use is the most important use of the urban area though it may have
lesser share in the areal extent. It plays a vital role in the formation of city character.
In case of Patiala city, the total area covered under planned as well as unplanned
commercial use is 182. 3ha. which is 2. 86% of the total developed area. Out of this,
39. 06 ha. area is under planned commercial, which is 21. 43% of the total
commercial area. The main unplanned commercial area is confined to walled city
especially Dharampura bazaar, Adalat bazaar,Arya Samaj chowk and Qila chowk.
Similarly the famous wholesale markets namely Gurmandi, Sher-e-Punjab wholesale
cloth market, Medicine market, Timber market,Fruits & Vegetable market, Sarafan
bazaar are also located within walled city. The commercial areas within walled city
are in the form of line bazaars. This area lacks in parking and other public amenities.
There are only two paid parking's within walled city i. e. one at the back of A. C
market and another opposite to the old Kabari market which are insufficient to meet
the demand of parking. Other than walled city, all the unplanned residential areas
have commercial (retail) activity along the main roads.

1.4.3.3 Industrial
Under this use comes the industrial area on Sirhind road, Industrial Focal Point,
DMW. Apart from above there are few rice- shellers and tool manufacturing
industries. Besides this, there is (PRTC) PEPSU Road Transport Corporation
workshops on Nabha road and Rajpura road comprising of 7. 90 ha. In these
workshops all the buses of PRTC are repaired. There is another service industry
comprising of 12. 5 ha near Rajpura road known as Hira Bagh between marriage
palace of Palm Court and Gurudwara on Bari nadi. Here repair of trucks, truck body
buildings is carried out. Industrial Focal Point and DMW are located on inner bye-
pass. Industrial Focal Point has been developed on the basis of planned layout plan
supported by basic essential infrastructure and services to provide appropriate
environment for industrial growth and development. DMW was established on an area
of 225 ha in 1981. It comprises of 83 ha under industrial use and 142 ha. under staff
colony having well laid road network, all the amenities namely separate water works,
STP, hospital, school, market and golf course. Thus the total area under industry
within U. A Patiala comprising of service small and large industry is 205. 78 ha.
which is 3. 21% of the total developed area.

1.4.3.4 Traffic & Transportation
This use comprises of roads, railway line & station, truck terminus, bus terminus,
bridges and flyovers. As per table of existing landuse, the total area covered by this
use is 646. 63 ha. which is 10. 09 % of the total developed area. The further detailed
study of traffic & transportation has been covered in chapter no 4. 5 and chapter no 5.
5 ahead. However, table depicts that out of this use, major share i. e. 9. 20% of total
developed area is covered under roads.

1.4.4 ROAD NETWORK
The existing road network in the city is partially radial in pattern. The Nabha road
also carries the traffic of Bhadson road which merges at Thapar University Chowk
and meets Sirhind road at Gurudwara Dukhniwaran Sahib and then lead to the city.
Similarly Sangrur road also carries the traffic of Samana road which bifurcates near
Bhakra main line. Rajpura road carries the traffic from Chotti Nadi onwards and from
transport nagar it also carries the traffic of Sanaur road, Cheeka road and Pehowa
road. The National Highway 64 enters the city from two sides i. e north east and south
west, two state Highways enter the city from south-west and south-east, several other
important roads enter the city from north, north-west, south-west and south directions.
These important roads entering the city are listed below:
1. Sangrur – Patiala (N. H. 64)
2. Rajpura – Patiala (N. H. 64)
3. Pehowa – Patiala (State Highway no. 8)
4. Samana – Patiala (State Highway no. 10)
5. Nabha-Patiala (scheduled road)
6. Bhadson – Patiala (Scheduled road)
7. Sirhind – Patiala (Scheduled road)
8. Sanaur – Patiala (Other distt. road)
9. Cheeka – Patiala (Other distt. road)

1.4.5 RAIL NETWORK
Rail is considered as the lifeline of a nation and a good rail network boosts the
economy. Patiala is not very fortunate in terms of rail network as it has a single
railway line i. e. branch line of Rajpura railway line. Many trains pass through this
single railway line and connect Patiala to various cities and states of India. The main
rail route passing through Patiala has been listed in the table given below:

1.4.5.1 Railway OverBridges & UnderPasses
Although, there is only one railway line i. e. branch line of Rajpura passing from the
middle of city yet there are 10 level crossings which are all manned. This railway line
has three R. O. B's located at 22 No. Phatak, 21 No. Phatak and near Bus Stand which
reduces the chaotic traffic condition at the level crossings. The detail of level
crossings is given in the table:

Figure 5 : ROB Near Railway Station
1.4.6 BUS TERMINUS
The only bus terminal of Patiala is located on Patiala - Rajpura Road. The total area of
bus stand is 6 acres and a workshop of 4. 2 acres adjoining it and another workshop
cum head office of P. R. T. C on Nabha road comprising 13. 50 acres. The most
preferred mode of transport in the area is bus transport as buses from all the districts
of Punjab and neighbouring states on their way halt at the bus stand and quite a few
originate and terminate at the main bus stand. Bus transport is also considered as a
preferred means of transport for the daily commuters which considerably contributes
to the increasing bus traffic. There is a proper link between bus stand and railway
station that makes its location appropriate as far as the change of mode of
transportation is concerned. The over bridge on Phatak No. 17 has been developed

13 of 39

and heavy vehicular regional traffic has been diverted through the over bridge. There
is no cycle rickshaw stand, auto rickshaw stand or taxi stand in and around the bus
stand, with the result these are parked along road side along with rehriwallas which
reduces the effective width of road thus resulting in congestion, lowering of journey
speed and intersection delay.

1.4.7 INTRA CITY BUS SERVICE
Public transport system is not very much developed in Patiala city. Increased number of
private vehicles like cars, motorcycles, scooters, light‐ weight scooters etc. have reduced
intracity distances. In walled city mainly hand driven rickshaws are used. Local bus
service has few buses and connects Patiala to some localities as well as villages located
on the periphery of Municipal Limits of Patiala. Buses of various educational institutes
like Punjabi University, RIMT, Bhai Gurdas Engineering College, Desh Bhagat Group of
Institutes, Chitkara and other engineering colleges, nursing colleges and educational
colleges of nearby towns, as well as school buses also contributes towards the bus traffic
of Patiala city.

From the above table it comes to the fore that out of 27 road intersections 15
intersections are signalized, whereas, 13 intersections do not have signals and 3 are T‐
junctions. Besides these 27 intersections, there are numerous intersections located in
the inner part of the city of Patiala which have not been listed in the above table.
1.4.9 PARKING DEMAND AND AVAILABILITY
Acute shortage of parking in the city particularly in the traditional bazaars,
plannedcommercial areas and in private institutions which results in parking spill over
on important roads thus causing congestion of traffic.

Figure 7 : Parking Space provided In front of Gurudwara
There is no organised parking space for taxis and auto, rickshaws. There are two paid
parking's within walled city i. e. one at the back of A. C market and another opposite to
the old Kabari market which are insufficient to meet the demand of parking. Parking
Demand is more in Commercial areas like Dharampura bazaar, Adalat bazaar, Arya
Samaj chowk and Qila chowk. Parking space is provided in front of Gurudwara in Sirhind
road for vistors of Gurudwara. Patiala city's only authorized Transport Nagar is located
on Rajpura Road. It has an area of 40 acres out of which 9 acres of land has been
allotted to Kabari market which has been shifted from the walled city.

1.5 RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY SUMMARY
As a initial step of the study, Consultant visited Patiala between 22/09/2010 and
24/09/2010; and collected the secondary information like Base maps and Master plan
from various Agencies viz. , Municipal Corporation, District Town Planning Office, Mini
Secretariat, Traffic Police etc. Study team had extensive discussions with officials
regarding the study to understand traffic about the city and study area. Based on the
discussions and maps collected, reconnaissance survey of the city was carried out by the
consultant to understand the prevailing traffic situation of the city. Keeping in view
prevailing situation as pointed out by various officials during discussions, transport
features like bus stand, railway stations, major corridors passing through the city, major
intersections, type of intermediate public transport (IPT), mode used by people, major
commercial areas, industrial area, bottlenecks, Major Intersections the reconnaissance
survey was conducted by the consultants team. The team visited various parts of the
Patiala City and along the major road radiating from Patiala town leading to different
major settlements like Sangrur, Rajpura, Sirhind, Nabha and Bhadson. Then the team of
Consultants visited the Bus Stand and Railway Station and commercial areas and area
around Mini Secretariat
1.5.1 SUMMARY OF THE RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY
• Vehicles Parked near the intersections
• Traffic Awareness among the road users were less. Violating the Traffic management
measures like one way were not followed.
• Busy intersection like Fountain Chowk and SST chowk lying very near to each other.
Needs coordination of signal and some other Traffic Management
• The roundabount diameter is very less in NIS chowk. This leads to Traffic violations.
• Sir Hind Bye pass road towards Sangrur direction is not connected after it meets the
Rajpura Road. After byepass meets Rajpura link is under construction. Once
construction work is completed heavy vehicles flow inside the city will be avoided.
• Traffic Management like one way were done in the following sections of roads

9 Capital chowk to Arya Samaj Chowk
9 Fountain Chowk to Sai market
9 Tukali Mode to Khela Chowk
9 Columbia Hospital to Book Cafe ( Model Town)

City Development Plan (CDP). Data on socio–economic characteristics, vehicle
ownership, the transport network, transport policy and other available engineering
parameters relevant to the CMP shall be collected. All other relevant information
relating to accidents, land use planning, mapping, right of way on key corridors shall be

29 of 39

collected. Any inconsistency or deficiency in the information shall be addressed and
discussed with client time to time.
In addition to the above the consultants shall collect the following items (as available):
• Small‐scale maps land use maps
• SPOT‐satellite images
• Socio‐economic data.
Consultant will prepare a database more specifically relative to land‐use and topography
of the area. Of special importance in the process of traffic model development and
generating engineering solutions is the evaluation of SPOT satellite imagery, providing
an updated picture of land use.
To review the existing urban transport systems, the consultant will collect and review
the following data and information, through literature review, interview survey and
field surveys.
• Existing studies, reports and proposals
• Existing transport infrastructure
• Public transport system
• Traffic safety and enforcement
• Institutional and financial situation
• Environmental and social condition.

2.3.2 TRAFFIC SURVEYS AND INVENTORIES

primary surveys, data collection, assessment, analysis and evaluation. The objective of
the surveys is to determine:
• Traffic flow and composition by link
• Assessment of level of service
• Vehicle characteristics for determination of vehicle operating costs
Proposed traffic survey locations will be identified and discussed with client and will be
presented in the Inception Report. Consultant will carry out following traffic surveys as
per the guidelines in the RFP. The Survey Formats are in Annexures.
• Manual Classified Counts
• Parking Survey
• Origin‐Destination Survey
• Speed and Delay Surveys
• Mass Transit and Passengers Survey
• Commuter Survey

30 of 39

• Household Survey
• Vehicle Operators’ Survey
• Terminal Area Survey
• Pedestrian Survey
• Road Inventory
• Topographic Surveys at Key Sections/Junctions
Consultant will develop a base‐year transport demand model using the results of the O‐
D survey. The traffic demand modeling will apply to analyse/evaluate urban land use
and the transport system. Modeling provides a quantitative and scientific approach to
improving mobility. The modeling will emphasize person‐based travel patterns, along
with vehicle movements and include more NMV/pedestrian movements than
conventional modeling
2.3.3 REVIEW LAND USE PLAN
Consultant will review the data on existing land use and proposed land use plans,
through a detailed review of existing development plans, including the Master Plan
and/or the City Development Plan (CDP). In particular, new development areas that will
affect transport demand in the planning area should be inventoried and summarized.
2.3.4 ANALYSE TRAFFIC/TRANSPORT SITUATION
Based on the information/data collected, a basic analysis of the transport and traffic
situation should be carried out identifying characteristics and issues for the city. The
following should be carried out:
• Comparative analysis of urban transport situation
• Diagnosis of urban transport situation
• Analysis of traffic characteristics
• Analysis of traffic
• Analysis of social conditions

2.4 PREPARE AND EVALUATE URBAN TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
2.4.1 VISIONS AND GOALS
It is essential that the mobility improvement measures in CMP form a coherent package
with a consistent vision and goals for the desirable direction of city urban transport. The
visions and goals define the desired form of long‐term urban transport system in the
city. While visions are statements of the desirable direction of urban transport
development, goals are quantitative/qualitative targets for major indices, to be achieved
within the planning horizons.

31 of 39

2.4.2 URBAN GROWTH SCENARIOS
Consultant will examine the optimal land use and transport systems. For analytical
purposes, urban growth scenarios will be developed in combination with strategic level
transport networks. Master Plans regulate land use pattern, but in the CMP consultant
will suggest the preferred growth scenario from the viewpoint of an optimal urban land
use and transport development pattern based on the transport demand.

2.4.3 FUTURE TRANSPORT NETWORK SCENARIOS
The existing land use pattern and the future development plans of the city will be
analyzed. The gaps in the existing transport network and future proposals will also be
analyzed and future network scenarios will be proposed.
Consultant will estimate the future modal split (ratio of trips made by public and private
transport modes) needs by the use of modeling analysis. Consultant will propose
various feasible model split scenarios that will be used in generating alternative
transport networks to meet the future travel demand.

2.4.4 DEVELOPMENT URBAN LAND USE AND TRANSPORT STRATEGY
Using the transport demand model, Consultant will assess the combination of transport
network and urban growth scenario developed in the previous tasks. Land use patterns
will be included in the modelling analyses, in terms of a specific distribution of
residential population and employment. Various land‐use planning measures should be
considered in relation to transport development strategies. The alternative development
scenarios will be evaluated by using criteria, such as potential for developing public
transport systems, total travel time, average travel speed, and economic indices. Based
on the evaluation, a desirable urban development strategy will be proposed.

2.5 DEVELOP URBAN MOBILITY PLANS
Consultant will identified urban transport projects which would support the CMP vision
and goals and the development scenario.
2.6 PUBLIC TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PLAN
A public transport is the backbone of the city so consultant will develop the public
transport improvement plan. In the public transport improvement plan consultant will
suggest the improvement proposal based on the transport demand, that cover:
• Development of Bus Service or Bus Improvement Plan
• Development of Trunk and Feeder Public Transport Network
• MRT Options

32 of 39

Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) refers to a public transport system carrying passengers
within and between urban areas. Selection of MRT appropriate systems should be
undertaken by considering corridor characteristics and the technical parameters of
available MRT systems.
2.7 ROAD NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Consultant will develop the list of road projects suggested in the CMP for improvement
of the transport system based on the transport demand, including the following:
Hierarchical Road Network;
• Arterial Road Construction/Widening Projects;
• Secondary Road Construction/Widening Projects;
• Intersection Improvement Projects;
• Flyover Projects; and
• Railway over Bridge (ROB) or Underpass Projects.
The Road Network Plan will also include the following aspects:
• Existing and future traffic bottlenecks,
• Explanation of proposed strategy in terms of land use pattern,
• Public transport network,
• Role and benefit of each project within the Road Network Plan,
• Recommendations for infrastructure,
• Operations and maintenance on existing and proposed road networks,
• Provision of sidewalks and NMV lanes, and
• Estimated costs of proposed projects.

2.8 NMT FACILITIES
Planning for pedestrians, bicycles and cycle rickshaws will be one of the most important
tasks in CMP preparation, which is generally ignored. As the CMP sets out vision/goals
for the metropolitan region and serves as a strategic level plan for urban land use and
transport systems, the NMT policy level planning may be accepted. However, detailed
NMT improvement plans and traffic management measures can be worked out for CBD,
commercial centres, and other major activity centres, which refine NMT policy for the
whole region and provide the costing basis to implement such policy.
2.9 MOBILITY MANAGEMENT MEASURES
Measures for mobility management will be worked out with implications for regulation
and enforcement. The consultant will plan the following measures in this task:

33 of 39

• Pedestrian Facilities
• NMV Facilities

The Consultant shall be listing out the short term action programs, medium term
improvement measures and long term strategies as an outcome of the study. The
Consultant would then quantify the above aspects in financial terms through estimation
of quantity of various items of work involved, using local schedule of rates, the value of
investment needed for each aspect would be arrived at.
2.10 REGULATORY AND INSTITUTIONAL MEASURES
Effective development of urban land use and the transport system often requires
regulatory and institutional changes. Such requirement should be thoroughly worked
out and documented in the CMP. The regulatory and institutional plan will also include
the following:
• Bus service improvement (concession, privatization, and lease contract);
• Traffic safety improvement (traffic regulation, mandatory road user education,
enforcement systems);
• Introduction of Transport Demand Management (TDM) measures ;
• Vehicle emissions (focus on non‐fuel based vehicles and compressed natural
gas/CNG vehicles);
