Identified the major events areas, major junctions, intersection and defined sub-areas, external, internal zones.
- Developed a network skeleton in VISSIM for dynamic assignment by obtaining the geometric and traffic
restriction related information.
- Seed OD matrix was estimated from HMDA CTS Model and corrected it by using link counts in VISSIM.
- Multiple scenarios with different kinds of traffic management plans are created and evaluated in mesoscopic
VISSIM model to make a time-bound plan with alternative routes for traffic diversion during a high footfall event.
Traffic Impact Study for new developments in Aerotropolis at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport,
Hyderabad, India (Client: GHAL)

Ridership estimation on proposed fast rail corridors (CSMT-Pavel-Virar) in Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
(Client: RITES) Jan.’18 - Jan’19
- Updated the existing travel demand model developed by IITB for MMR in CUBE Voyager, using primary and
secondary data of base year.
- Adjusted the existing demand model as per new zoning and redistributed the planning variables.
- Incorporated land-use scenarios as per the revised Development Plans of MMR and calibrated the model.
- Analyzed the impact of TOD on ridership estimation along the proposed fast rail corridor
Travel and land use impact of Mumbai-Ahmedabad HSR in Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
(Client: IITB, ADBI) June.’18 - Nov’18
- Incorporated the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (HSR) in existing four stage travel demand model of
Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) in CUBE Voyager.
- Examined the variation in the ridership of metro, suburban rail, bus and other public transport system with and
without HSR.
- Assessed the accessibility of peripheral areas of MMR, especially Boisar, due to proximity of HSR station and
associated impact of the current intense activity areas of the region.
Review of ridership on 6 metro DPRs in MMR. (Client: MMRDA) Nov.’18 - June’19
- Reviewed the methodology, land use and transport system parameters adopted in the DPRs to arrive the
estimated metro ridership.
- Tested sensitivity of ridership varying fare structure, frequency, system capacities and value of time utilizing the
MMR travel demand model developed by IITB in CUBE Voyager.
Ridership estimation on revised alignments of Pune Metro Phase 2 Corridors. (Client: Systra) Feb.’18 - Oct.’18
- Updated the existing travel demand model developed for PMR in state-of-the art transportation planning
software CUBE, using primary and secondary data of base year.
- Developed the additional transport network including zonal maps with public transport routes.
- Estimated the ridership for various scenarios like ‘With Metro’ and ‘Without Mero’ and carried out the cost-
benefit analysis of the proposed metro corridors.
