| Popis: | The paper is part of an ongoing research project on traffic management strategies for Peshawar Pakistan. A survey of all the existing public transport stops on University Road Peshawar conducted for identification of bus lane. Peak hour demand was calculated in terms of actual Passengers per hour per direction (Pphpd)along the entire corridor which acts a warrant test for the provision of a separate lane for public transport vehicles in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System. Saturation Levelsand Dwell Times (sec)at every stop both for busses and for wagons usingfrequency, clearance time, amount of boarding and alighting passengers and journey time of existing public transport system were analyzed.From data analysis, theSaturation Levels and Dwell Times at every stop were found higher than the recommended values mainly because of the obstruction due to private vehicles in front of public transport vehicles,a comparatively high percentage of private vehicles with respect to public transport vehicles and the prolong stay of drivers atbus stops. The Saturation Levels and Dwell Times (sec) for the proposed BRT system was re-analyzed. Finally, result of the proposed BRT system was incorporated in S-Paramics software to develop a public transport model. |
