The National Urban Transport Policy was issued in 2006 by the Ministry of Urban Development to comprehensively improve urban transport services and infrastructure in India. The policy aims to ensure safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, and sustainable access for city residents to jobs, education, and other needs. It focuses on moving people rather than vehicles by providing sustainable mobility and accessibility for all citizens at reasonable cost and time. The policy involves making urban transport a priority in urban planning, allocating more road space to people over vehicles, improving public transport systems, and establishing institutional mechanisms for better coordination of transport planning and management.
Mumbai faces significant public transportation problems due to its geography as a group of islands and concentration of commercial activity in the south. Overreliance on private vehicles and lack of infrastructure investment have led to daily traffic jams. Recent government projects like metro lines and monorails aim to improve connectivity, but better public transit options and enforcement of parking rules are still needed to fully address Mumbai's transportation woes.
This document discusses sustainable transportation planning and goals for India. It outlines essential ingredients for sustainable transport including a comprehensive mobility plan, compact cities, an integrated public transport system, and efficient interchanges. Key themes and principles are presented, such as integrating transportation and land use planning, considering all modes, and managing both transportation demand and supply. Performance indicators and case studies on initiatives in India are provided. The conclusion emphasizes the need for a holistic urban transport strategy in India given rapid urbanization.
This document provides information on transportation infrastructure in Greater Mumbai. It discusses the road, rail, metro, monorail, air and sea networks in the region. Some key points covered include:
- Greater Mumbai has over 2,000 km of roads and maintains 11 flyovers and 104 bridges.
- The suburban rail network carries over 6 million passengers daily.
- BEST operates over 3,300 buses on 337 routes, carrying 4.5 million passengers daily.
- The metro and monorail systems aim to provide access to currently unserved areas.
- The airport handles up to 40 million passengers annually and a new airport is being built in Navi Mumbai.
Every one in the world wants to live in a compact environment. like in olden days the peoples they were used telephone, telegram, etc. for communication. but in the current scenario every one have smart phones for better communication. Because smartphones are compact and convenient to them.This presentation about Compact City planning and also it dealt how various compact cities in the developed and developing countries manage themselves. This presentation just gives an outline of the compact city planning.
This document provides an overview of the National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) in India. It discusses the problems facing urban areas like traffic congestion, high travel costs, and air pollution. It outlines the vision of the policy to make cities more livable and engines of economic growth. The objectives are to ensure safe, affordable access to jobs, education and other needs. It discusses various policy measures like integrating land use and transport planning, prioritizing public transport and non-motorized transport, and encouraging the use of cleaner technologies. The role of the central government, private sector participation, and the need for public awareness are also summarized.

This document discusses strategies for managing urban expansion in large Indian cities. It provides examples of rapid growth in satellite towns around Delhi and in Pune, which is attracting new industries as Mumbai grows more slowly. Chennai and Ahmedabad have seen transport corridor-oriented expansion. Bangalore has experienced high rates of growth at the peripheries from IT/ITES industries clustering in areas like Whitefield. The document advocates for recognizing inevitable urban expansion and planning for it strategically. It proposes introducing missing scales of urban plans, exploring alternatives to access planned land, adopting strategic spatial planning and projects, and leveraging coalitions and civic networks to address challenges of rapid urbanization.
The document discusses energy consumption in the building and construction sector, with buildings accounting for 44% of energy consumption. It also shows graphs of vehicle miles traveled increasing dramatically in the US from 1960-2005 and discusses different models of urban transport and spatial structures like sprawling cities versus multi-polar centralized cities with public transportation as the focus. The document examines concepts like nodes, linkages and different types of urban movement patterns as cities evolve spatially over time.
The document summarizes the Delhi Metro Rail project. It discusses that the Delhi metro was established in 1995 as a joint venture between the Government of India and the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi to address Delhi's traffic issues. The first phase of the project was approved in 1996 and involved constructing three metro lines totaling 56 km and 50 stations to connect key areas in Delhi. The project was funded through equity investments as well as loans from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation oversees operations and generates revenue through fares, advertising, and real estate development.
The document summarizes the Ahmedabad Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) in India. Some key points:
- Ahmedabad was the first city in India to successfully launch a full BRTS system, with 40 kilometers of dedicated bus lanes.
- The BRTS features specially designed, affordable buses; closed stations with off-board ticketing; and intelligent transportation systems including automatic vehicle tracking.

1) While some transport planning policies and ideas can transfer between developed and developing nations, direct transfers often fail due to differences in land use, travel behavior, data availability, and decision-making processes.
2) Urban transport planning models used in developed nations typically assume homogeneous land use and focus only on motorized congestion, neglecting important non-motorized and informal transit in developing cities.
3) Rural transport policies also differ greatly, as developing nation policies emphasize links between transport and agriculture as well as participatory community engagement, while developed nation policies focus more on accessibility and mobility issues.

The document discusses rail passenger demand forecasting from the perspective of the rail industry. It provides background on passenger demand trends over time. It describes the structure of the UK rail industry and the roles of key organizations like ATOC and the Passenger Demand Forecasting Council. The PDF Handbook developed by this group provides a standard approach to forecasting that is used across the industry. The summary discusses areas for potential improvement to the forecasting approach.
This document discusses smarter choices theory and practice for encouraging sustainable travel. Smarter choices involve promotional measures to boost uptake of alternatives to driving alone. Key tools include travel planning with employers, schools and residents, as well as public transport information and promotion. Personal travel planning delivered at key life events, like moving house, can be particularly effective by helping people establish new sustainable travel habits during times of disruption. Integrating smarter choices initiatives with transport infrastructure improvements increases impact. Nudging people towards sustainable options as the default choice also shows promise according to the theories discussed.

This document discusses the potential impacts of autonomous vehicles on cities. It notes that AVs could significantly improve safety by removing human error, increase road capacity, and provide new mobility options. However, it also raises challenges around planning, legislation, public acceptance, and generational issues. A key point is that the price of accessing AVs will influence traffic volumes, public transport use, car ownership patterns, and urban structure. If prices are low it could lead to sprawl, but higher prices may concentrate development and constrain vehicle miles traveled. The document argues cities must carefully consider these impacts to shape a sustainable vision for autonomous vehicles.

The document discusses transport challenges and priorities for east and south east London. It notes that London's population is growing rapidly and will require major investments in transport infrastructure to support the growth. This includes projects like Crossrail, upgrades to the DLR and Overground networks, and new river crossings like the planned Silvertown Tunnel to alleviate congestion and improve connectivity. Future transport priorities could involve extending the Bakerloo line, further DLR extensions, and new river crossings like Gallions Reach and Belvedere to connect communities across the Thames. Major funding and approvals will be required to transform London's transport network and accommodate the rising population.
The Move Towards Sustainable Transport in London - Mr. Steve KearnsIPPAI
This document discusses transport issues in London and strategies to promote more sustainable transport. It summarizes:
1) London faces significant transport challenges due to its growing population and over 23 million daily trips.
2) Transport for London is taking steps to encourage more sustainable modes of transport like walking, cycling, and public transit to reduce congestion. This includes upgrading infrastructure for buses, trains, and cycling.
3) Major events like the 2012 Olympics required extensive planning to manage large crowds and keep London moving, demonstrating how transport systems can be adapted to handle peak demand. Lessons from the Olympics are helping to inform ongoing improvements.
This document provides an overview of London's Crossrail scheme, including its long evolution, governance, financing, and challenges. Some key points:
- Crossrail was first proposed in the 1940s but faced many delays until being approved in 2007, with construction starting in 2009 and completion in 2018.
- Its benefits case was strengthened over time by considering wider economic impacts like agglomeration effects, showing links between transport investment and economic growth.
- Funding came from national and local government as well as farepayers, with London able to raise additional revenue through a business rates supplement.
- Strong governance including a joint sponsor board helped ensure delivery on time and on budget.
- Crossrail 2 is
The document summarizes transport developments in London over the past few decades. It discusses the key drivers of change since the postwar period up to 2000 that improved London's transport system. Since 2000, there have been broad improvements to buses, tubes, rail, and pedestrian infrastructure under the leadership of Mayor Livingstone and Transport for London. Major projects include the congestion charge, East London Line extension, Crossrail, and upgrades to Thameslink and DLR services. The document argues more progress has been made in London's transport in the last 8 years than the previous 28 years.
This document outlines plans to modernize and expand London's public transportation network between now and 2025. The key points of investment include:
1) Line by line upgrades to signaling, trains, and infrastructure to increase capacity and reliability across the Underground, Overground, DLR and Trams. This includes the introduction of Night Tube services on weekends beginning in 2015.
2) Major station upgrade projects at stations like King's Cross St. Pancras, Tottenham Court Road, and Bond Street to expand capacity through new entrances and passageways.
3) Extensions to the existing network including expanding the Underground onto new lines and the Overground network. The ultimate goal is to support London's growing
The document discusses integrated transport solutions for Auckland, New Zealand to address increasing congestion challenges from population and employment growth. It finds that the City Rail Link (CRL) alone will not meet future transit demand and that light rail is needed to optimize the road network and transport access within the city center. Light rail could move more people with less road space than buses and help shape development. The summary concludes that both CRL construction and further evaluation of light rail solutions are needed with regular updates to council.
AT has briefed Auckland Council on the City Rail Link's progress and the investigation into light rail. Find out more in the presentation or on AT.govt.nz/projects
The document summarizes a panel discussion on priorities for transport in a growing London. Val Shawcross, Deputy Mayor for Transport, outlined key priorities including making transport fairer, improving air quality, and supporting new homes and jobs. Panelists then discussed challenges of accommodating increased travel demand, leveraging development around transport infrastructure to support growth, and using transport investment to improve public health through initiatives like Healthy Streets. The discussion focused on how transport policy and funding can help London achieve goals around housing, jobs, and public health.
A Crossrail 2 eastern branch would transform access to the London Riverside development area and provide impetus for large new developments. Crossrail 1 and HS2 will both have a station at Old Oak Common, which will enable major regeneration in the area with 25,000 homes and 65,000 jobs. Extending Crossrail 2 further southeast from Abbey Wood towards Gravesend could improve journey times from those areas. Transport for London is considering additional river crossings like new tunnels at Silvertown and bridges east of Woolwich and near Belvedere to improve cross-river links and reduce congestion at existing tunnels.

The London Transport Strategy of 2000 aimed to address acute congestion and overcrowding through a package of measures including improving bus services through the London Bus Initiative. The Initiative took a whole-route approach across 27 key routes, implementing bus priority measures, stops improvements, and increased enforcement to deliver over 100 new bus lanes. This increased bus patronage by 21.9% while improving journey times and reliability, demonstrating that coordinated multi-agency initiatives can provide short-term congestion relief as part of an integrated long-term strategy.
The document discusses proposals for updating the GTR (Govia Thameslink Railway) timetable in 2018. Key points include:
- The timetable update is part of the larger Thameslink Programme which involves new trains, infrastructure upgrades, and expanded capacity.
- An early consultation process is being conducted from September to December 2016 and again in 2017 to gather public input on the new timetable.
- Proposals include simplifying routes, improving some journey times, and protecting important existing journeys. The changes address weaknesses in the current network structure.
The document outlines a plan to modernize the Great Western railway line through a £5 billion investment program over 10 years. It will involve 13 major engineering projects including new trains, redeveloping Paddington station, modernizing signals, and Crossrail services. The investment aims to improve passenger and freight services to meet growing demand and stimulate economic growth along the route.
Geoff Inskip, Chief Executive of Centro, outlined a vision for improved movement in Birmingham city centre. The vision has three clear principles: making the city more walkable with improved routes, more connected through rapid transit and public transportation links, and more efficient through smarter traffic management. High speed rail is a key part of the connectivity vision, with the proposed HS2 route connecting Birmingham to London and the north of England, boosting economic growth through increased employment and trade opportunities.

Efforts to reduce the emissions from car travel have so far been hampered by a lack of specific information on car ownership and use. The Motoring and vehicle Ownership Trends in the UK (MOT) project seeks to address this by bringing together new sources of data to give a spatially and disaggregated diagnosis of car ownership and use in Great Britain and the associated energy demand and emissions.
Data from annual car M.O.T tests, made available by the Department for Transport, will be used as a platform upon which to develop and undertake a set of inter-linked modelling and analysis tasks using multiple sources of vehicle-specific and area-based data. Through this the project will develop the capability to understand spatial and temporal differences in car ownership and use, the determinants of those differences, and how levels may change over time and in response to various policy measures. The relationship between fuel use and emissions, and the demographic, economic, infrastructural and socio-cultural factors influencing these will also be tested.
Consequently, the MOT project has the potential to transform the way in which energy and emissions related to car use are quantified, understood and monitored to help refine future research and policy agendas and to inform transport and energy infrastructure planning.

Social networks, i.e. the circles of people we are socially connected to, have been recognised to play a role in shaping our travel and activity behaviour. This not only has to do with socialisation being the purpose of travel, but also with enabling mobility and other activities through the so-called social capital. Another theme in the literature connecting social environment and travel behaviour is social influence, i.e. the investigation of how travel behaviour can be affected by observation or comparison with other people. Research about the impact of social influence on travel choices is still at its infancy. In this talk, I will give an overview of how choice modelling can be used to investigate the relationships between social networks, travel and activities. I will touch upon work that I have done so far, in particular I will describe my applications of the Multiple Discrete-Continuous Extreme Value (MDCEV) model to frequency of social interactions as well as to allocation of time to different activities, taking the social dimension into account. In these studies, I make use of social network and travel data collected in places as diverse as Switzerland and Chile. I will also discuss ongoing work making use of longitudinal life-course data to model the impact of family of origin and the “mobility environment” people grew up in on travel decision of adults. Finally, I will outline future plans about modelling behavioural changes due to social influence using the smartphone app travel data that are being collected in Leeds within the “Choices and consumption: modelling long and short term decisions in a changing world” (“DECISIONS”) project.

Abstract: In the national railway revolution in Japan, the passenger division was divided into 6 companies by regions. They operate trains and own/manage the rail track (vertical integration system). On the other hand, vertical separation was introduced into freight companies, therefore, freight companies have to access rail track owned/managed by passenger companies. The Japanese regulator regards track access transactions between passenger companies and freight companies as private business.
In the vertical separation system, freight companies cannot get access to the slots required and efficient allocation of rail track cannot be achieved. The vertical separation is a very significant issue in railway policy and freight transport policy in Japan. In the presentation, causes and possible solutions to the issue will be shown.

Empirical analysis of crowd-sourced freight deliveries
Presenter: Amanda Stathopoulos, Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Northwestern University
This seminar presents results from empirical analysis of crowd-sourced freight deliveries in the US. Crowd-sourced deliveries build on the idea that citizens deliver goods, ideally along planned travel routes. Crowdshipping has a potential to match highly fragmented transport capacities with vastly diverse demand for urban freight deliveries, temporally, spatially and in real-time. This is typically achieved through platforms that connect carriers with consumers in need of deliveries. A third-party broker, who operates the platform, provides match-making, analysis and customer services between demand and supply. The main advantage of crowdshipping is the reduced need for fixed facilities, such as cars or warehouses, to run operations. The main obstacles are trust, liability issues, and ensuring a critical mass of couriers and customers. Despite the growth in operations, there is still a poor understanding of the performance, functionality and acceptability of these new delivery methods. The seminar presents results analyzing the performance in the early stages of operation of crowdshipping. Based on real operational data from 2 years across the US the performance is examined with an emphasis on the specificity of crowdshipping, namely related to delivery variability and the temporal matching dynamics. Based on additional survey experiments the behavior of the main agents in the system is modeled with an emphasis on revealing acceptance and priorities of both occasional drivers and senders. The research derives from a Partnership-for-Innovation (PFI) project funded by the NSF where a Chicago based research team (NU, UIC) is evaluating the capabilities of CROwd-sourced Urban Delivery (CROUD) in collaboration with a crowd-shipper technology firm.
About Amanda: Amanda’s research focuses on developing new methodologies to collect data and specify mathematical models to account for broad and realistic choice behaviour in the transport setting (for instance social determinants, environmental concern, user experience, simplified decision rules). These richer layers of user motivations is an area of primary relevance in improving understanding and prediction of travel behavior. For a range of current transportation challenges such as promoting transit ridership growth, moving towards alternative fuels, or getting companies to adopt better practices in delivering goods, there is increasing recognition of the need to build adequate tools to account for decision complexity on the user side to match with effective decision support.

Abstract:
Research indicates that transport services in cities in developing countries are mostly informal and include the use of rickety and low occupancy vehicles such as minibuses, taxis, motorcycles and vans, operated by private groups or individuals. Due to this classification, two schools of thought have emerged. The first suggests that these informal transport service sector operators in most cases operate outside the officially sanctioned public transport sector and as a result should be regarded as nuisance due to its disorganised nature, calling for public intervention and occasional eradication. Given its disorganised nature, informal transport service operators are identified with urban problems including low level of services, high rates of collision and accidents, increased congestion in cities, erratic scheduling and services, inadequate and lack of capacity and evasion of taxes and fees. In contrast, the other school of thought supports and emphasises the critical role these private operators play in meeting the mobility demand of the urban population, as in some jurisdictions (e.g., Ghana, Kenya, and Senegal) provide over 50% of transport services. Public transport service provision in Ghana has undergone several transformations since pre-colonial times, both structured and disorganised development. However, to avoid the gradual decay of public transport service provision in Ghana, the government of Ghana since 2005 has initiated plans to introduce Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services as a way of improving efficiency in public transport services. The Ghana UTP seeks to among other things to improve mobility within Ghana’s urban centres and to shift to more environmentally-sustainable transport modes and lower transport-related GHG emissions. Although the BRT project is yet to be fully roll out, its implementation is already facing some resistance from the informal public transport operators due to, a large extent, mistrust between the informal public transport operators and the government. The informal public transport operators consider this government intervention (BRT) as a strategy to make their operations inefficient and unpopular among Ghanaians. As a result, previous attempts to implement the project have failed, regardless of the potential benefits of the BRT. The purpose of my research is to explore ways of transition the uncoordinated informal public transport service operations in Ghana into a formal public transport service sector.

Exploring Deep Learning Models for Image Recognition: A Comparative Reviewsipij
Image recognition, which comes under Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a critical aspect of computer vision,
enabling computers or other computing devices to identify and categorize objects within images. Among
numerous fields of life, food processing is an important area, in which image processing plays a vital role,
both for producers and consumers. This study focuses on the binary classification of strawberries, where
images are sorted into one of two categories. We Utilized a dataset of strawberry images for this study; we
aim to determine the effectiveness of different models in identifying whether an image contains
strawberries. This research has practical applications in fields such as agriculture and quality control. We
compared various popular deep learning models, including MobileNetV2, Convolutional Neural Networks
(CNN), and DenseNet121, for binary classification of strawberry images. The accuracy achieved by
MobileNetV2 is 96.7%, CNN is 99.8%, and DenseNet121 is 93.6%. Through rigorous testing and analysis,
our results demonstrate that CNN outperforms the other models in this task. In the future, the deep
learning models can be evaluated on a richer and larger number of images (datasets) for better/improved
results.
Natural Is The Best: Model-Agnostic Code Simplification for Pre-trained Large...YanKing2
Pre-trained Large Language Models (LLM) have achieved remarkable successes in several domains. However, code-oriented LLMs are often heavy in computational complexity, and quadratically with the length of the input code sequence. Toward simplifying the input program of an LLM, the state-of-the-art approach has the strategies to filter the input code tokens based on the attention scores given by the LLM. The decision to simplify the input program should not rely on the attention patterns of an LLM, as these patterns are influenced by both the model architecture and the pre-training dataset. Since the model and dataset are part of the solution domain, not the problem domain where the input program belongs, the outcome may differ when the model is trained on a different dataset. We propose SlimCode, a model-agnostic code simplification solution for LLMs that depends on the nature of input code tokens. As an empirical study on the LLMs including CodeBERT, CodeT5, and GPT-4 for two main tasks: code search and summarization. We reported that 1) the reduction ratio of code has a linear-like relation with the saving ratio on training time, 2) the impact of categorized tokens on code simplification can vary significantly, 3) the impact of categorized tokens on code simplification is task-specific but model-agnostic, and 4) the above findings hold for the paradigm–prompt engineering and interactive in-context learning and this study can save reduce the cost of invoking GPT-4 by 24%per API query. Importantly, SlimCode simplifies the input code with its greedy strategy and can obtain at most 133 times faster than the state-of-the-art technique with a significant improvement. This paper calls for a new direction on code-based, model-agnostic code simplification solutions to further empower LLMs.
Understanding Cybersecurity Breaches: Causes, Consequences, and PreventionBert Blevins
Cybersecurity breaches are a growing threat in today’s interconnected digital landscape, affecting individuals, businesses, and governments alike. These breaches compromise sensitive information and erode trust in online services and systems. Understanding the causes, consequences, and prevention strategies of cybersecurity breaches is crucial to protect against these pervasive risks.
Cybersecurity breaches refer to unauthorized access, manipulation, or destruction of digital information or systems. They can occur through various means such as malware, phishing attacks, insider threats, and vulnerabilities in software or hardware. Once a breach happens, cybercriminals can exploit the compromised data for financial gain, espionage, or sabotage. Causes of breaches include software and hardware vulnerabilities, phishing attacks, insider threats, weak passwords, and a lack of security awareness.
The consequences of cybersecurity breaches are severe. Financial loss is a significant impact, as organizations face theft of funds, legal fees, and repair costs. Breaches also damage reputations, leading to a loss of trust among customers, partners, and stakeholders. Regulatory penalties are another consequence, with hefty fines imposed for non-compliance with data protection regulations. Intellectual property theft undermines innovation and competitiveness, while disruptions of critical services like healthcare and utilities impact public safety and well-being.

economic rivals. If we do not
address this, national economic
growth could stall and
improvements to living standards
could be held back
• Cities offer a solution to this
productivity challenge because they
cluster activity together, improving
efficiency
• To do this and grow the economy, cities need access to a large
workforce
30. It will help address the transport challenge
• Despite the major investment
programme underway, growth is
putting pressure on the transport
network and could stall long-term
economic growth
• Demand for National Rail services into
Waterloo is set to increase by 40 per
cent between today and 2043, and by a
similar level across the Tube network
• Severe crowding on the London and South East rail network could
double by 2041
• Problem particularly severe in the morning peak
31. It will help address the housing challenge
• London Plan seeks to meet a need of 49,000 new homes / year but up to 63,000 pa
necessary to address backlog.

additional 500,000 homes needs to be identified)
• ONS projections identify need for ~57,000 additional houses in non-London CR2
Borough’s up to 2037.
• ONS projections identify need for ~1.5m new houses to be delivered in London and
CR2 counties up to 2037
