EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
0.1 Introduction

The historic city of Ahmedabad is amongst the major metropolitan cities in India. With
the increasing opportunities for trade and commerce and as a center for higher
education, the population of the city is already touching 6 million and this heavy growth
continues.

The city, known as Ashapalli or Ashaval in ancient times, was founded by King
Karnadeva Vaghela as Karnavati in 11th Century as capital of his kingdom. Later on
Sultan Ahmed Shah of Gujarat Sultanate shifted his capital from Patan to Karnavati and
renamed it as Ahmedabad in 1411 AD. A number of monuments built during his era are
spread over the old city area. The walled city was also built during this era and its 12
gates are still existing though most of the wall can't be seen anymore. The city thrived as
the capital of strong kingdom but later became part of the Moghul Sultanate in 1573.
Shahjahan spent the prime of his life in this city and developed the present Shahi Baug
area. The city was invaded by the Marathas in the year 1707 and ruled by them from
1753 AD to 1817 AD, when the city was taken over by the British.

During the British period the city became "Manchester of India" due to large scale
manufacturing of textile. The first textile mill was set up in 1854 and more such mills
followed soon after with rapid industrialization. However, the textile industry in the city
is no more a force to reckon with, yet it is fifth largest producer of denim cloth in the
world. The eastern part of the walled city is mostly inhabited by the families of mill
mazdoors, who have been forced to find alternative jobs due to closure of most of the
textile mills. However many chemical and pharmaceutical industries have come up
around the city. Trade is still flourishing in the city as textile weaving, tie-and-dye work,
zari work and intricate silk embroidery produced by this city has been famous for
centuries.

Originally DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Network and Regional Rail System was
submitted by DMRC in 2005, consisting following corridors.

Regional Rail System


o Line 1 Barajedi-Kalupur-Kalol
o Line 2 Kalupur-Naroda

Revised DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 1/49
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Metro Rail System:


o Line 1 APMC Vasna Aayakar Bhawan-Sabarmati - Akshardham (North-South
corridor)
o Line 2 Kalupur-Aayakar Bhawan -Thaltej (East-West corridor)

Subsequently, in 2008 DMRC was again commissioned by GIDB to prepare DPR for
metro connectivity from Gandhinagar to GIFT city & from Gandhi Nagar to Airport and
review certain portion of the corridors proposed in 2005 DPR. Accordingly study was
carried by DMRC and reports were submitted in 2010.

MEGA vide their letter no MEGA/Chm/Oct/2013/, dated 20/10/2013 requested to


DMRC for upgradation of earlier DPR submitted by DMRC. This is an upgardtion of
earlier DPR submitted by DMRC in the context of the letter as referred here above.

0.1.1 Introduction to the study area

The proposed metro alignment provides north-south connectivity in Ahmedabad city


from Visat to APMC running along the Ashram road on most of the sections. The other
corridor Thaltej to Vastral provides east to west connectivity and passes through
important nodes of Kalupur, Ashram road, Thaltej and Industrial areas on the east of
Ahmedabad.

As per the Draft Development Plan and Integrated Mobility Plan for Greater Ahmedabad
Region, the future growth in this area is expected to intensify between Ahmedabad and
Gandhinagar. The study area definition would be carried out keeping in view the future
growth expected in the study region.

0.2 TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS AND DEMAND FORECASTING


This topic provides an overview of the existing transportation system outlines the travel
characteristics and presents the demand forecasting carried out for estimating ridership
on metro.
0.2.1 ROAD NETWORK
The transportation system in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar is predominantly dependent
on roadway systems. The major road network in the study area is around 3045 km in
length, of which 125 km are National Highways and 103 km are under State Highways
which are being maintained by National Highways Authority of India and Roads &
Building Department respectively. The rest of the roads are managed by respective
urban local bodies of AMC, AUDA, GNA and GUDA.
0.2.2 DAILY RIDERSHIP ON AHMEDABAD METRO CORRIDORS IN HORIZON YEARS

Daily ridership on the Ahmedabad metro rail network in 2021 is expected to be 6.69
lakh passengers. The average trip length will be 6.99 km in year 2021. Corridor wise
total daily ridership for the years 2021, 2031 and 2043 and PHPDT are shown in Table

0.3 SYSTEM SELECTION

A. Options for Public Transport System

The following systems are mainly available for Urban Mass Transit:

i) High Capacity Metro System: Metro system is a grade separated dedicated


system for high peak hour traffic densities exceeding 40,000 PHPDT. It is
characterized by short distances of stations spaced at 1 km, high acceleration
and declaration and average speeds of 30-35 kmph.

ii) Light Capacity Metro System: This is a dedicated metro rail system for
moderate peak hour traffic densities exceeding 8000 PHPDT.

iii) Light Rail Transit: Modern trams-Street Cars running on Rails at grade or
elevated with sharp curves of 24m radius. These are extremely popular and
operating in large number of European countries. Generally the stations are
spaced at 500m to 1 km and have high acceleration and deceleration
characteristics. In most of the countries, they are operating at-grade with
prioritized signaling at road inter-section.

iv) Sky Train: This is an experimental rail based system under development by
Konkan Railway.

v) Other Rail Based Systems: A number of options are available but have not been
introduced in India. Some of these are very briefly mentioned below:

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 3/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

(a) Maglev

This is an advanced Rail based transit system in which Magnetic Levitation is


used to raise the vehicles above the rail surface. Rail wheel interaction is thus
avoided and very high speeds are attainable. Maglev Levitation can either be
due to attractive force or due to repulsive forces.

(b) Linear Induction Motor (LIM) Train

This is also an advanced Rail based transit system in which propulsion is


through a Linear Induction Motor whose stator is spread along the track. The
rotor is a magnetic material provided in the under frame of train. In the
technology the tractive force is not transmitted through rail-wheel interaction,
and so there is no limitation on account of adhesion. This technology is most
appropriate for turnouts, as the height of the tunnel can be reduced to lower
height of cars.

(c) Monorail

Monorail trains operate on grade separated dedicated corridors with sharp


curves of up to 50m radius. This is a rubber tyred based rolling stock,
electrically propelled on concrete beams known as guide-ways. The system is
extremely suitable in narrow corridors as it requires minimum right of way on
existing roads and permits light and air and is more environmental friendly.
This is prevalent in several countries for traffic densities of over 20,000 PHPDT.

(d) Bus Rapid Transit System

This system involves operation of buses on a dedicated corridor (except of traffic


integration) at a high frequency to achieve PHPDT. For providing a very high
transport capacity say 20,000 PHPDT, about 200 buses shall be required per
hour i.e., at headway of 20 seconds. Such a high PHPDT can be achieved by
providing two lanes of traffic in each direction and elimination of traffic
intersection on the route.

(e) Automated Guide way Transit System

The term is used for systems other than conventional rail based system on grade
separated guide ways. The system can be rail based or rubber tire based but
fully automated guided systems with driver less operation.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 4/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

B. Capacity of Various Modes (as per the recommendations of Working Group on


Urban Transport for 12th Five Year Plan)

In their report on Urban Transport for 12th Five Year Plan, the Working Group has
set the guidelines for the choice of different modes are as follows:

Table 0.2 - Guidelines for the Choice of Different Modes

POPULATION AVG. TRIP


SYSTEM PHPDT IN 2021
IN 2011 LENGTH

>=15000 for at least


Metro Rail # More than 20 Lakhs More than 7 Km
5km continuous length

LRT primarily at grade =<10,000 More than 10 Lakhs More than 7 Km

Monorail @@ =<10,000 More than 20 Lakhs About 5-6 Km

Bus Rapid Transit >=4,000 and upto


More than 10 Lakhs >5 Km
System 20000

Organised City Bus >1 lac,


Service as per urban >50,000 in case of hilly >2 to 3 Km
bus specifications towns
# for having Metro Rail, the city should have a ridership of at least 1 million on
organized public transport (any mode)

@@ Monorail is desirable only as a feeder system or where the narrow roads


are flanked on either side by high rise buildings. In monorail while the cost of
construction, operation and maintenance is almost the same as elevated metro
rail, the carrying capacity is much lesser.

0.4 SELECTION OF MODE

Selection of a particular mode for any pre-determined traffic corridor depends mainly
on demand level of a corridor Right of Way (ROW) on the road and the capacity of the
mode. The demand forecast is estimated considering the traffic growth for about 30
years. Other considerations in mode choice are, location of building lines, possibility of
increasing ROW. Cost of some mode may vary depending up on the location in view of
engineering constraints. Therefore final choice of mode to be adopted for a particular
corridor is based on techno economic considerations. As regards the location of a
particular mode like at-grade, elevated and underground depends up on the ROW. If

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 5/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ROW is 20 M or more, elevated alignment is preferred over underground as the cost of


underground alignment is 2- 2 times of elevated alignment.

Hence, keeping in view the above points, it is recommended to adopt a stable, tested and
reliable Metro technology i.e. Light Capacity Metro System having capacity to cater
PHPDT from 15000 to 25000.

0.4.1 GEOMETRIC DESIGNING PARAMETERS AND ALIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

This topic deals with geometrical standards adopted for horizontal and vertical
alignments, route description, etc. The proposed corridors under Phase I network will
consist of Standard Gauge (SG) lines. For underground corridors, track centres are
governed by spacing of tunnels and box design.

The geometrical design norms are based on international practices adopted for similar
metro systems with standard gauge on the assumption that the maximum permissible
speed on the section is limited to 80kmph. Planning for any higher speed is not desirable
as the average inter-station distance is about 1.06 km and trains will not be able to
achieve higher speed.

The elevated tracks will be carried on box-shaped elevated decking supported by single
circular piers or oblong piers, generally spaced at 31 m to 34 m centres and located on
the median of the road to extent possible over road. The horizontal alignment and
vertical alignment are, therefore, dictated to a large extent by the geometry of the road
and ground levels followed by the alignment over road.

The underground tracks will be carried in separate tunnels to be drilled by Tunnel


Boring Machine. Stations will, however, be constructed by cut and cover method except
one station which has been proposed by NATM with TBM going through.

0.4.2 GEOMETRIC DESIGN PARAMETERS

The design parameters related to the Metro system described herewith have been
worked out based on a detailed evaluation, experience and internationally accepted
practices. Various alternatives were considered for most of these parameters but the
best-suited ones have been adopted for the system as a whole.

0.4.3 Horizontal Alignment

As far as possible, the alignment follows the existing roads. This leads to introduction of
horizontal curves. On consideration of desirable maximum cant of 110 mm and
maximum permissible cant deficiency of 100 mm on Metro tracks, the safe speed on
curves of radii of 400 m or more is 80 km/h. On elevated sections minimum radius of

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 6/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

145m has been used at one location having speed potential upto 45 km/h. However in
underground section desirable minimum radius of curve shall be 400 m for ease of
working of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM).

Maximum permissible cant (Ca) 125 mm 125 mm
Maximum desirable cant 110 mm 110 mm

Maximum cant deficiency (Cd) 100 mm 100 mm

0.4.5 Transition Curves

It is necessary to provide transition curves at both ends of the circular curves for
smooth riding on the curves and to counter act centrifugal force. Due to change in
gradients at various locations in the corridor, it is necessary to provide frequent vertical
curves along the alignment. In case of ballast less track, it is desirable that the vertical
curves and transition curves of horizontal curves do not overlap. These constraints may
lead to reduced lengths of transition curves at certain locations. The transition curves
have certain minimum parameters:

Length of Transitions of Horizontal curves (m)

Minimum : 0.44 times actual cant or cant deficiency (in mm), whichever is higher.

Desirable : 0.72 times actual cant or cant deficiency, (in mm), whichever is higher.

Overlap between transition curves and vertical curves not allowed.


Minimum straight between two Transition curves (in case of reverse curves): either
25 m or Nil.
Minimum straight between two Transition curves (in case of same flexure curves):
either 25 m or both curves should be converted in to the compound curve by
introducing single transition between the two circulars.
Minimum curve length between two transition curves: 25 m

0.4.6 Vertical Alignment and Track Centre

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 7/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

(a) Elevated Sections

The viaducts carrying the tracks will have a vertical clearance of minimum 5.5 m
above road level. For meeting this requirement with the Box shaped pre-
stressed concrete girders, the minimum rail level will be about 9.8 m above the
road level. However, at stations which are located above central median, the
minimum rail level will be 11.8 m above the road level with concourse at
mezzanine. These levels will, however, vary marginally depending upon where
the stations are located. At special continuous span locations the minimum rail
level will be 11. 6m. For N-S alignment passing over railway land, in addition to
the above requirement for service road, SOD of double stack container (as per
DFCC western corridor) is also to be followed. A minimum clearance of 5.5 m for
road traffic over proposed road surface for ROB ramp for Shyamaprasad
Mukharji ROB and proposed road surface for Shreyas and Ellis Bridge ROB is to
be maintained. The proposed road surface of these ROBs will be decided based
on the SOD for double stack container movement.

The track centre on the elevated section is kept as 4.2 m uniform throughout the
corridor to standardize the superstructure, except at few locations, wherever
scissors crossovers are planned, it is kept 4.5 meter.

(b) Underground sections

Rail level at midsection in tunneling portion shall be kept at least 12.0 m below
the ground level. At stations, the desirable depth of rail below ground level is
13.5 m, so that station concourse can be located above the platforms.

Track center in underground sections are follows:

Track center in underground sections are follows:


16.04 m (for lesser width of
Sections where stations are to be constructed
platform, track center to be
by cut & cover and running section by TBM to
reduced)
Accommodate 13 m wide platform
Sections where stations are to be constructed
by NATM and running section by TBM to facilitate 23.04 m
Construction of stations
Sections where stations as well as running section 4.50 m
both are to be constructed by cut and cover method

(c) Gradients

Normally the stations shall be on level stretch. In exceptional cases, station may
be on a grade of 0.1 %. Between stations, generally the grades may not be

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 8/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

steeper than 3.0 %. However, where existing road gradients are steeper than 2%
or for Switch Over Ramps gradient up to 4% (compensated) can be provided in
short stretches on the main line.

(d) Vertical Curves

Vertical curves are to be provided when change in gradient exceeds 0.4%.


However, it is recommended to provide vertical curves at every change of
gradient.

(e) Radius of vertical curves:

On main line (desirable) : 2500 m


(Absolute minimum) : 1500 m
Other Locations : 1500 m
Minimum length of vertical curve : 20 m

0.4.7 ROUTE ALIGNMENT

Two Corridors have been identified for implementation in Ahmadabad Metro Rail
Project network (Phase 1).

0.5 CIVIL ENGINEERING

0.5.1 Underground Construction

The most of the underground section passing under the road, cut and cover method of
the underground construction easily can be employed for the construction of the
underground sections. However keeping in view obstruction of traffic movement and
inconvenience to the general public; during the construction as an open cut around
10.00m wide required to be cut through entire length of underground section it is
proposed to tunnel through Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) or New Austrian Tunneling
Method (NATM) in the overburden soil mass. This will reduce substantially
inconvenience to general public during construction. Tunnel excavation for a major part

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 9/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

of this underground section is expected to be carried out by Tunnel Boring Machines.


There is some smaller section along the underground part of the alignment where Cut &
Cover method has been considered for construction after Switch Over Ramp (SOR).
Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) capable of drilling in soft soil with a finished internal
diameter of 5.2 m. can be successfully employed for boring tunnels through this stratum.
The tunnels are proposed with a minimum soil cover of 6.0m.

0.5.2 Underground Stations

Total 4 underground stations have been proposed out of which 3 will be constructed by
cut and cover with top-down method and 1 by NATM with through tunnels TBM. The
diaphragm walls for such station constructions would be 80 to 100 cm. thick and will
function as a permanent side wall of the station. It is, therefore, necessary to construct
the diaphragm walls absolutely watertight and with the required concrete strength as
has been done in the Delhi Metro station constructions. By resorting to top-down
method the surface could be restored quickly and further excavations and construction
of the station will not hamper the surface activity.

0.5.3 Cut and Cover Method of Construction of Underground Stations

Cut and Cover mainly consists of following steps:


1. Diversion of utilities
2. Construction of support walls
3. Excavation between the support walls along with the installation of struts
between the two walls to keep them in position.
4. Construction of tunnel/structure and removal of temporary struts.
5. Back filling and restoration of the surface

0.5.4 Utility Diversion:

It is suggested that all utilities falling within excavation area are diverted away in
advance to avoid damage to such utilities during the excavation/ construction phase.
The cross utilities, however has to be kept supported. It is suggested that pressure water
pipelines crossing the proposed cut area are provided with valves on both sides of the
cut so that the cut area can be isolated in case of any leakage to the pipeline to avoid
flooding of the cut/damage to the works.

0.5.5 Elevated Section - Choice of Superstructure

The choice of superstructure has to be made keeping in view the ease of constructability
and the maximum standardization of the formwork for a wide span ranges.

The segmental construction has been chosen mainly due to the following
advantages:

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 10/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Segmental construction is an efficient and economical method for a large range


of span lengths and types of structures. Structures with sharp curves and
variable super elevation can be easily accommodated.

Segmental construction permits a reduction of construction time as segments


may be manufactured while substructure work proceeds and assembled rapidly
thereafter.

Segmental construction protects the environment as only space required for


foundation and sub-station is required at site. The superstructure is
manufactured at a place away from busy areas and placement of superstructure
is done with the system erected from piers at heights.

Segments are easy to stack in the casting yard/stacking yard in more than one
layer, thereby saving in requirement of space.

It is easier to transport smaller segments by road trailers on city roads.

It is easy to incorporate last minute changes in span configuration if the site


situation so warrants.
Interference to the traffic during construction is significantly reduced.
Segmental construction contributes towards aesthetically pleasing structures

0.5.7.1 Physiography

Ahmedabad is the largest city in the state of Gujarat. It is located in Western India on the
banks of the River Sabarmati, 32 km from the state capital Gandhinagar. It is the former
capital of Gujarat and also the financial capital of Gujarat. Ahmedabad is located at
23.030 N and 72.580 E at an elevation of 53 m. The Sabarmati River frequently dries up
in summer, leaving only small stream of water, however now there is perennial supply
of water from Narmada Canal after Sabarmati River Front Development. Except for the

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 11/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

small hills of Thaltej - Jodhpur Tekra, the city is almost flat. Gandhinagar is the capital of
the state of the Gujarat. Gandhinagar has an average elevation of about 81 m. The city
sits on the banks of the River Sabarmati in North - Central - East of Gujarat.

0.5.7.2 Geology
The well-known agriculturally rich alluvial basin of Gujarat rises from the estuarine
tacts between Narmada and Tapi rivers, and extends 402 Km Northwards merging into
the deserts plains of Rajasthan and the Rann of Kutch.

The alluvial plains of Gujarat are belongs to Quaternary group. The project site area is
covered with deep layers recently placed alluvial sands.

0.5.8 LAND

In order to minimise land acquisitions and to provide good accessibility form either
directions, the metro alignments are located mostly along the center of the roads, which
lie on the corridor. But, at some locations the geometrics of the roads especially at road
turnings may not match with geometric parameters required for metro rail systems. In
such cases, either the alignment will be off the road or some properties abutting the
road would get affected. The North-South Corridor alignment has been revised and it is
passing through Railway Land on Botad- Sabarmati section of Bhavnagar Division of
Western Railway between Railway Chainage 23+746 to 15+259 and runs parallel to
existing Railway corridor in decreasing chainage direction of railway for 8.5 km. No
permanent land acquisition will be required in this portion and only way leave
permission from Railway will be required and charges will have to be paid to them.
Further, some land is required for various purposes as detailed below:

0.5.9 Land Requirement for following Major Components

MRTS Structure (including Route Alignment), Station Building, Platforms,


Entry/Exit Structures, Traffic Integration Facilities, Depots, etc.
Receiving/Traction Sub-stations

Staff quarters, office complex and operation control centre(OCC)

0.5.10 Land for Traction and Receiving Substation and Radio Towers

Two RSS each is proposed to be located for Thaltej to Vastral Gam and APMC to Motera
Stadium Corridor. Hence, an area of 22400 m2 has been earmarked exact location will
be decided at the time of implementation of the project. No additional land proposed for
locating radio towers. These will be accommodated in the land already acquired. Land
required for RSS will be as tabulated below.

0.5.11 Land Requirement for Stations & Running section

As indicated earlier, the ROW of the roads along which the alignment is planned is
adequately wide and hence no land is required for acquisition as long as the alignment is
straight and in the centre of the road. However, at curved portions, the alignment could
not be kept in the centre of the road and land acquisition at such locations is inevitable
in spite of introduction of sharper curves.
To the extent possible the Entry and Exit points of stations (underground and elevated)
were planned on the in open spaces between foot paths and building offsets as far as
possible. But, for locating other station facilities such as chiller plants, ventilation shafts,
underground water tanks, generator set room etc., land acquisition is proposed

0.6 Station Planning

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 14/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The proposed Ahmedabad Metro consists of two corridors namely:

Corridor I: North-South Corridor (APMC-Motera Stadium)


The length of this corridor is 18.493 km (including Depot connection). Total 15 no. of
stations have been planned on this corridor. All stations on this corridor are planned to
be elevated.

Corridor II: East West Corridor (Thaltej Vastral Gam)


The length of this corridor is 19.435 km. Total 17 no. of stations have been planned on
this corridor. Four stations on this corridor are planned to be underground while the
rest will be elevated.
0.6.1 Station Types
A total of 32 stations have been proposed across both the corridors. These are mostly
elevated stations located at a clear height of 5.5m above the road. The stations shall be
accessible from both sides of the road in order to better serve the catchment area. Two
side platforms are planned on these type of stations. Seven elevated stations are located
within an 8.5 km part of metro alignment that traverses along the existing metre gauge
railway alignment. These shall be constructed in conjunction with western railways.
Approximately 6 km of alignment in the E-W corridor is located underground. This
alignment will include four underground stations. These underground stations will be
island types in configuration.
The Old High Court station is planned as an important metro interchange providing
interchange between North-South & East-West lines. Other interchange stations include
those interconnecting transport nodes such as Railway stations, GSRTC Terminals, BRTS
and AMTS stops. The stations would be physically connected to these nodes to ensure
comfortable and hassle-free transfers.

0.6.2 Planning And Design Criteria For Stations

Salient features of a typical station are as follows:

1. The stations can be divided into public and non-public areas (those areas where
access is restricted). The public areas can be further subdivided into paid and
unpaid areas.
2. The platform level has adequate assembly space for passengers for both normal
operating conditions and a recognized abnormal scenario.
3. The platform level at elevated stations is determined by a critical clearance of
5.50 m under the concourse and above the road intersection, a clearance of 3.00
m for the concourse height, depth of below concourse floor below track viaducts
in concourse would depend on detailed structural design. The platforms are 1.09

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 15/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

m above the tracks level.


4. The concourse contains automatic fare collection system in a manner that
divides the concourse into distinct areas. The 'unpaid area' is where passengers
gain access to the system, obtain travel information and purchase tickets. On
passing through the ticket gates, the passenger enters the 'paid area, which
includes access to the platforms.
5. The arrangement of the concourse is assessed on a station-by-station basis and
is determined by site constraints and passenger access requirements. However,
it is planned in such a way that maximum surveillance can be achieved by the
ticket hall supervisor over ticket machines, automatic fare collection (AFC) gates,
stairs and escalators. Ticket machines and AFC gates are positioned to minimize
cross flows of passengers and provide adequate circulation space.
6. Sufficient space for queuing and passenger flow has been allowed at the ticketing
gates.
7. Station entrances are located with particular reference to passenger catchment
points and physical site constraints within the right-of-way allocated to the
MRTS.
8. Office accommodation, operational areas and plant room space is required in the
non-public areas at each station.
9. Tunnel Ventilation fans and ASS in underground stations are provided at
platform level/ concourse level depending on availability of land for locating
vent shafts.
10. The DG set, bore well pump houses and ground tank would be located generally
in one area on ground.
11. The system is being designed to maximize its attraction to potential passengers
and the following criteria have been observed:
o Minimum distance of travel to and from the platform and between
platforms for transfer between lines.
o Adequate capacity for passenger movements.
o Convenience, including good signage relating to circulation and orientation.
o Safety and security, including a high level of protection against accidents.
12. Following requirements have been taken into account:
o Minimum capital cost is incurred consistent with maximizing passenger
attraction.
o Minimum operating costs are incurred consistent with maintaining
efficiency and the safety of passengers.
o Flexibility of operation including the ability to adapt to different traffic
conditions changes in fare collection methods and provision for the

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 16/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

continuity of operation during any extended maintenance or repair period,


etc.
o Provision of good visibility of platforms, fare collection zones and other
areas, thus aiding the supervision of operations and monitoring of efficiency
and safety.
o Provision of display of passenger information and advertising.
13. The numbers and sizes of staircases/escalators are determined by checking the
capacity against AM and PM peak flow rates for both normal and emergency
conditions.
14. In order to transfer passengers efficiently from street to platforms and vice
versa, station planning has been based on established principles of pedestrian
flow and arranged to minimize unnecessary walking distances and cross-flows
between incoming and outgoing passengers.
15. Passenger handling facilities comprise of stairs/escalators, lifts and ticket gates
required to process the peak traffic from street to platform and vice-versa (these
facilities must also enable evacuation of the station under emergency conditions,
within a set safe time limit).
0.7 TRAIN OPERATION PLAN & MAINTENANCE FACILITIES

0.7.1 OPERATION PHILOSOPHY

The underlying operation philosophy is to make the MRT System more attractive
and economical, the main features being:
Selecting the most optimum frequency of Train services to meet sectional capacity
requirement during peak hours on most of the sections.
Economical & optimum train service frequency not only during peak period, but also
during off-peak period.
A short train consists of 3 coaches.
Multi-tasking of train operation and maintenance staff.

No services are proposed between 00.00 hrs to 5.00 hrs, which are reserved for
maintenance of infrastructure and rolling stock.

0.8 ROLLING STOCK

The required transport demand forecast is the governing factor for the choice of the
Rolling Stock. The forecasted Peak Hour Peak Direction Traffic calls for a Medium Rail
Transit System (MRTS).

0.8.1 Optimization of Coach Size


The following optimum size of the coach has been chosen for this corridor as mentioned
in Table0.9.
Table 0.9
Size of the coach
Length* Width Height
Driving Motor Car (DMC) 21.64 m 2.9 m 3.9 m
Trailer car (TC) 21.34 m 2.9 m 3.9 m
*Maximum length of coach over couplers/buffers = 22.6 m

0.8.2 Passenger Carrying Capacity

In order to maximize the passenger carrying capacity, longitudinal seating arrangement


shall be adopted. The whole train shall be vestibuled to distribute the passenger evenly
in all the coaches. Criteria for the calculation of standing passengers are 3 persons per
square meter of standing floor area in normal state and 6 persons in crush state of peak
hour.

Therefore, for the Medium Rail Vehicles (MRV) with 2.9 m maximum width and
longitudinal seat arrangement, conceptually the crush capacity of 43 seated, 204
standing thus a total of 247 passengers for a Driving motor car, and 50 seated, 220
standing thus a total of 270 for a trailer/motor car is envisaged.

Following train composition is recommended:

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 20/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The axle load @ 6persons/sqm of standing area works out in the range of 14.014T to
14.388T. Heavy rush of passenger, having 8 standees per sq. meter can be experienced
occasionally. It will be advisable to design the coach with sufficient strength so that even
with this overload, the design will not result in over stresses in the coach. Coach and
bogie should, therefore, be designed for 16 T axle load.

0.8.4 Performance Parameters

The recommended performance parameters are:

Maximum Design Speed: 90 kmph


Maximum Operating Speed: 80 kmph
Max. Acceleration: 1.0 m/s2 (with AW3 load)
Max. Deceleration 1.1 m/s2 (Normal brake)
More than 1.3 m/s2 (Emergency brake)

0.8.5 Coach Design and Basic Parameters

The important criteria for selection of rolling stock are as under:

(i) Proven equipment with high reliability


(ii) Passenger safety feature
(iii) Energy efficiency
(iv) Light weight equipment and coach body
(v) Optimized scheduled speed
(vi) Aesthetically pleasing Interior and Exterior
(vii) Low Life cycle cost
(viii) Flexibility to meet increase in traffic demand
(ix) Anti-telescopic

The controlling criteria are reliability, low energy consumption, lightweight and high
efficiency leading to lower annualized cost of service. The coach should have high rate of
acceleration and deceleration.

0.9 POWER REQUIREMENTS


Electricity is required for operation of Metro system for running of trains, station services
(e.g. lighting, lifts, escalators, signalling & telecom, fire fighting etc) and workshops,
depots & other maintenance infrastructure within premises of metro system. The power
requirements of a metro system are determined by peak-hour demands of power for
traction and auxiliary applications. Broad estimation of auxiliary and traction power
demand is made based on the following requirements:-
(i) Specific energy consumption of rolling stock 75KWh/1000 GTKM
(ii) Regeneration by rolling stock 20%

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 21/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

(iii) Elevated/at grade station load initially 250KW, which will increase to 400 KW
in the year 2043
(iv) Underground station load initially 2000 KW, which will increase to 2500 KW in
the year 2043
(v) Depot auxiliary load - initially 2000 KW, which will increase to 2500 KW in the
year 2043.
Keeping in view of the train operation plan and demand of auxiliary and traction power,
power requirements projected for the year 2018, 2021, 2031 and 2043 are summarized
in table 0.12 below:-

The high voltage power supply network of Ahmedabad city was studied in brief. The city
has 220, 132 and 66kV network to cater to various types of demand in vicinity of the
proposed corridor. Series of meetings were held with M/s Torrent Power AEC Limited
(Licensee of the area) and various sub-stations sites were inspected to finalize the Input
Power Supply sources & Supply Voltage.

Keeping in view the reliability requirements, Four Receiving Sub-stations (two for N-S
line and Two for E-W line) are proposed to be set up. This is an economical solution
without compromising reliability. Based on the discussions with M/s Torrent AEC Ltd., it
is proposed to avail power supply for traction as well as auxiliary services from the
following grid sub-stations at 132 or 66kV voltage through cable feeders: -

* Incase of failure of other source of power

The 132 kV power supply will be stepped down to 33 kV level at the RSSs of metro
authority. The 33kV power will be distributed along the alignment through 33kV Ring
main cable network for feeding traction and auxiliary loads. These cables will be laid in
dedicated ducts/cable brackets along the viaduct and tunnel.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 23/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Interconnection of 33kV power supply between the two corridors has been planned at
the Interchange station of Old High Court which can be used for transfer of power from
One corridor to other in emergency situations. In case of tripping of One RSS of either
corridor on fault or input supply failure, train services can be maintained from stand-by
source of the same line or by feed extension from RSS of other line. But if one more RSS
fails, only curtailed services can be catered to. However, in case of total grid failure, all
trains may come to a halt but station lighting, fire and hydraulics & other essential
services can be catered to by stand-by DG sets. However, no train services can be run
with power supply received from DG Sets. Therefore, while the proposed scheme is
expected to ensure adequate reliability, it would cater to emergency situations as well,
except for the train running.

Typical High Voltage Receiving Sub-station


The 132 kV cables will be laid through public pathways from Torrent Power AEC Sub-
stations to RSS of Metro Authority. RSS at Gyaspur and Ranip/Sabarmati RSS shall be
provided with 2nos. (one as standby) 132/33 kV, 30 MVA (ONAN) three phase
Transformers for feeding Traction as well as auxiliary loads and RSS near Thaltej and
Apparel park RSS shall be provided with 2nos. (one as standby) 132/33 kV, 45 MVA
(ONAN) three phase Transformers. The capacity of transformers may be reviewed
considering the load requirement/distribution of both the corridors at the time of
detailed design.

Conventional Outdoor type 132 kV Switchgear is proposed for all the RSS to be located
in approx. 80 X 60 m (4800 sq. m) land plot as the availability of Land in this area may
not be a constraint. If Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) type Switchgear will be planned in
future due to less space and reduced maintenance the capital cost need to be enhanced.

The cross-section of third rail will be about 5000 mm2. The longitudinal resistance of
composite and steel third rail is about 7 and 20 milli-ohm/km respectively. The life of
composite and steel third rail is expected to be 25-30 years.

0.9.2 Special Arrangements in Depot

A separate traction sub-station (TSS) shall be provided for the depot so as to facilitate
isolation of depot traction supply from mainlines in order to prevent the leakage of return
currents to depot area. Tracks of Depot area shall also be isolated from mainline through
insulated rail joints (IRJ). Remote operated sectionalizing switches shall be provided to
feed power from depot to mainline and vice-versa in case of failure of TSS.

The prescribed limit of highest touch potential in depot is 60V as per EN50122-1 and
therefore Track Earthing Panels (TEP) shall be provided at suitable locations to earth the
rail in case the rail potential exceeds this limit. In areas, where leaky conditions exist (e.g.
washing lines, pit wheel lathe etc.), insulated rail joints (IRJ) shall be provided with power
diodes to bridge the IRJ to facilitate passage of return current.
A detailed scheme shall be developed during the design stage.

0.9.3 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 25/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

AC traction currents produce alternating magnetic fields that cause voltages to be


induced in any conductor running along the track. However, dc traction currents do
not cause electromagnetic induction effect resulting in induced voltages and magnetic
fields.

0.9.4 The rectifier-transformer used in dc traction system produces harmonic voltages,


which may cause interference to telecommunications and train control/protection
systems. The rectifier-transformer shall be designed with the recommended limits of
harmonic voltages, particularly the third and fifth harmonics. 12-pulse rectifier-
transformer has been proposed, which reduces the harmonics level considerably.
Detailed specification of equipment e.g. power cables, rectifiers, transformer, E&M
equipment etc shall be framed to reduce conducted or radiated emissions as per
appropriate international standards. The Metro system as a whole (trains, signaling &
telecomm, traction power supply, E&M system etc) shall comply with the EMC
requirements of international standards viz. EN50121, EN50123, IEC61000 series etc.
A detailed EMC plan will be required to be developed during project implementation
stage.

0.9.5 Auxiliary Supply Arrangements for Stations & Depot


Auxiliary sub-stations (ASS) are envisaged to be provided at each station. A separate
ASS is required at each depot. The ASS will be located at mezzanine or platform level
inside a room. Wherever TSS is required, ASS & TSS will be housed together inside a
room. The auxiliary load requirements have been assessed at 400 kW for
elevated/at-grade stations. Accordingly, two dry type cast resin transformers
(33/0.415kV) of 500kVA capacity are proposed to be installed at the stations (one
transformer as standby). Both the Depot ASSs will also be provided with 2x2500
kVA auxiliary transformers. For Underground station, the auxiliary load
requirements have been assessed at 2500 kW, accordingly, two dry type cast resin
transformers (33/0.415kV) of 3200kVA capacity are proposed to be installed at the
stations (with one transformer as standby).

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 26/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Typical Indoor Auxiliary Sub-station

2 x 2.5MW transformer-rectifier set shall be provided in each TSS with space


provisions for an additional set to be accommodated in future as and when train
composition is increased. Self-cooled, cast resin dry type rectifier-transformer is
proposed, which is suitable for indoor application. From the traction sub-stations,
750V dc cables will be laid up to third rail and return current cables will be connected
to running rails.

0.10 VENTILATION AND AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM

0.10.1 Need for Ventilation and Air Conditioning


The underground stations are built in a confined space. A large number of passengers
occupy concourse halls and the platforms, especially at the peak hours. The platform
and concourse areas have a limited access from outside and do not have natural
ventilation. It is therefore, essential to provide forced ventilation in the stations and
inside the tunnel for the purpose of:
- Supplying fresh air for the physiological needs of passengers and the staff;
- Removing body heat, obnoxious odours and harmful gases like carbon dioxide
exhaled during breathing;
- Preventing concentration of moisture generated by body sweat and seepage of
water in the sub-way;
- Removing large quantity of heat dissipated by the train equipment like traction
motors, braking units, compressors mounted below the under-frame, lights and fans
inside the coaches, A/c units etc.;
- Removing vapour and fumes from the battery and heat emitted by light fittings,
water coolers, Escalators, Fare Gates etc. working in the stations;
- Removing heat from air conditioning plant and sub-station and other equipment, if
provided inside the underground station.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 27/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This large quantity of heat generated in M.R.T. underground stations cannot be


extracted by simple ventilation. It is, therefore, essential to provide mechanical cooling
in order to remove the heat to the maximum possible extent. As the passengers stay in
the stations only for short periods, a fair degree of comfort conditions, just short of
discomfort are considered appropriate. In winter months it may not be necessary to cool
the ventilating air as the heat generated within the station premises would be sufficient
to maintain the comfort requirement.
0.10.2 DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR VAC SYSTEM

With hot and humid ambient conditions of Ahmedabad during the summer and
monsoon months, it is essential to maintain appropriate conditions in the underground
stations in order to provide a comfort-like and pollution-free environment. The plant
capacity and design of VAC system needs to be optimized for the Designed inside
Conditions.
The Indian Standards & Codes, which pertain to office-buildings, commercial centers
and other public utility buildings. The standards used for buildings are not directly
applicable for the underground spaces, as the heat load gets added periodically with the
arrival of the train.
The patrons will stay for much shorter durations in these underground stations, the
comfort of a person depends on rapidity of dissipation of his body heat, which in turn
depends on temperature, humidity and motion of air in contact with the body. Body
heat gets dissipated is given out by the process of evaporation, convection and
conduction. Evaporation prevails at high temperature. Greater proportion of heat is
dissipated by evaporation from the skin, which gets promoted by low humidity of air.
The movement of air determines the rate of dissipation of body heat in the form of
sensible and latent heat.
There are different comfort indices recognized for this purpose. The Effective
Temperature criterion was used in selecting the comfort condition in earlier metros, in
this criteria comfort is defined as the function of temperature and the air velocity
experienced by a person. A new index named RWI (Relative Warmth Index) has been
adopted for metro designs worldwide. This index depends upon the transient condition
of the metabolic rate and is evaluated based on the changes to the surrounding ambient
of a person in a short period of about 6 to 8 minutes. It is assumed that during this
period human body adjusts its metabolic activities. Therefore in a subway system where
the train headway is expected to be six minutes or less, then RWI is the preferred
criterion.

(1) Outside ambient conditions:


This is based upon ASHRAE-2009 recommended design conditions for 1% criteria,
as under
1% Criteria

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 28/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Summer: 40.9oC (DB), 22.9oC (WB)


Monsoon: 32.9oC (DB), 28.1oC (WB)

For this corridor it is suggested to use 1% criteria, which is defined as the


conditions, when the DB or WB temperatures are likely to exceed for only 1% of the
total time.
(2) Inside design conditions:
Platform areas: 27oC at 55% RH
Concourse: 28oC at 60% RH

0.11 SIGNALLING

The signaling system shall provide the means for an efficient train control, ensuring
safety in train movements. It assists in optimization of metro infrastructure investment
and running of efficient train services on the network.

0.11.1 Signalling and Train Control

Metro carries large number of passengers at a very close headway requiring a very high
level of safety enforcement and reliability. At the same time heavy investment in
infrastructure and rolling stock necessitates optimization of its capacity to provide the
best services to the public. These requirements of the metro are planned to be achieved
by adopting CATC (Continuous Automatic Train Control System) based on CBTC
(Communication based Train Control System) which includes ATP (Automatic Train
Protection), ATO (Automatic Train Operation) and ATS (Automatic Train Supervision)
sub-systems using radio communication between Track side and Train.

This will:

Provide high level of safety with trains running at close headway ensuring
continuous safe train separation and for bidirectional working.
Eliminate accidents due to driver passing Signal at Danger by continuous speed
monitoring and automatic application of brake in case of disregard of signal /
warning by the driver.
Provides safety and enforces speed limit on section having permanent and
temporary speed restrictions.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 29/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Improve capacity with safer and smoother operations. Driver will have continuous
display of Target Speed / and other information in his cab enabling him to optimize
the speed potential of the track section. It provides signal / speed status in the cab
even in bad weather.
Increased productivity of rolling stock by increasing line capacity and train speeds,
and enabling train to arrive at its destination sooner. Hence more trips will be
possible with the same number of rolling stock.
Improve maintenance of Signalling and telecommunication equipments by
monitoring system status of trackside and train born equipments and enabling
preventive maintenance.
Signalling & Train Control system on the line shall be designed to meet the required
headway during peak hours.
Radio for CBTC shall work in License free ISM band.

0.12 TELECOMMUNICATION & AUTOMATIC FARE COLLECTION

The Telecommunication system acts as the communication backbone for Signalling


systems and other systems such as SCADA, AFC etc and provides
Telecommunication services to meet operational and administrative requirements
of the metro network.

The Telecommunication facilities proposed are helpful in meeting the requirements


for:

1. Supplementing the Signalling system for efficient train operation.


2. Exchange of managerial information
3. Crisis management during emergencies
4. Passenger information system

The proposed Telecom system will cater to the following requirements:

Train Traffic Control


Assistance to Train Traffic Control
Maintenance Control
Emergency Control
Station to station dedicated communication
Telephone Exchange
Integrated Passenger Announcement System and Passenger Information and
Display System within the station and from Central Control to each station.
Centralised Clock System

and maintenance personnel.
Data Channels for Signalling, SCADA, Automatic Fare Collection etc.
E&M SCADA is not envisaged as part of Telecomm System as such, hence catered
to separately in DPR
Integrated Network Control System
Access Control System

0.12.1 AUTOMATIC FARE COLLECTION

Metro Rail Systems handle large number of passengers. Ticket issue and fare collection
play a vital role in the efficient and proper operation of the system. To achieve this
objective, ticketing system shall be simple, easy to use/operate and maintain, easy on
accounting facilities, capable of issuing single/multiple journey tickets, amenable for
quick fare changes and require overall lesser manpower. In view of above, computer
based automatic fare collection system is proposed.

For Multiple Journey, the Store Value Contactless Smart Card shall be utilized and for the
Single Journey, the Smart media shall be as utilized as Contactless Smart Token. System
should be compatible with the Contactless Smart Chip supplied by at least 2 Chip OEMs
as per ISO 14443 standard.

AFC system proves to be cheaper than semi-automatic (manual system) in long run due
to reduced manpower cost for ticketing staff, reduced maintenance in comparison to
paper ticket machines, overall less cost of recyclable tickets (Smart Card/Token) in
comparison to paper tickets and prevention of leakage of revenue. Relative advantages
of automatic fare collection system over manual system are as follows:

A) Manual fare collection systems have the following inherent disadvantages:

1. Large number of staff is required for issue and checking of tickets.


2. Change of fare structure is time consuming as has to be done at each station.
3. Manipulation possible by jamming of mechanical parts.
4. Staff and passenger interaction leading to more chances of confrontation.
5. Almost 100% ticket checking at entry / exit impossible.

B) Automatic fare collection systems have the following advantages:

1. Less number of staff required.


2. Less possibility of leakage of revenue due to automatic ticket check by control gates.
3. Recycling of ticket fraudulently by staff avoided.
4. Efficient and easy to operate, faster evacuation both in normal and emergency.
5. System is amenable for quick fare changes.
6. Management information reports generation easy.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 31/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

7. System has multi-operator capabilities. Same Smart Card can be used for other
applications also, including in other lines of the Metro.
8. Contactless Smarts Card based AFC systems are the worldwide accepted systems for
LRT/Metro environment.

The proposed ticketing system shall be that to be of Contactless Smart Card type for
multiple journey and Contactless Token for Single Journey. The equipment for the same
shall be provided at each station Counter/Booking office and at convenient locations and
will be connected to a local area network with a computer in the Station Control room.

C) Choice of Control Gates

Flap type Control Gates are proposed which offer high throughput, require less
maintenance and are latest in modern metros internationally. Tripod turnstile type
gates offer less throughput and require more maintenance and hence are not proposed.
All these Gates will have a functionality of Auto Top on Smart cards in case balance goes
below the threshold Value (As per User Choice/Business Rules)

D) Ticket Vending Machine (TVM)

At all stations, Passenger Operated Ticket Vending Machines (Automatic Ticket Vending
Machines) are proposed. The TVMs will provide convenience to passengers to avoid
standing in queues at ticket booths and provide them international standard service.
This will be used for

1. Dispensing Smart Tokens for single journey


2. Add Value in Smart card by paying money using Bank Notes or through Credit Card
/Debit card /pre Paid card.
3. Return the remaining money through Bank Notes and Coins (Min 2 types)

E) Ticket Reader/Add Value Machines


These machines will be used to know the Card/Token balance and can also be used as
Add value device in case payment for Card top up is made through alternate Internet
based channel like net banking, Credit/Debit card ( Payment gateway) etc.

F) Recharge Card terminal Machine (RCTM)

RCTM will be used to recharge the Card using bank Note as well as Credit Card /Debit
card /Pre Paid card.

0.13 DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

4. TOILET FACILITIES

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 34/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

There should be at least one unisex accessible toilet


Ticket Gates

At least one of the ticket gates should:

Be minimum 900 mm wide to allow a wheelchair user through; and


Have a continuous line of guiding paver for people with visual impairments.

5. PLATFORMS

The Platforms should:

Have a row of warning paver installed 600mm before the track edge;
Have non-slip and level flooring;
Have seating areas for people with ambulatory disabilities;
Be well illuminated lux level 35 to 40;
There should be no gap or difference in level between the train entry door and
the platform.
All platforms should inter-connect by means of an accessible routes or lifts; and
provide accessible level entrance to the train coach.

6. WAY FINDING

Way finding references should be available at decision points.


Colour can be used to identify routes and provide assistance in locating doors,
walls and hazards. Proper colour contrast between different elements greatly
improves visibility for all users and is critical for persons with low vision. For
example, colour contrasting of door frames can assist in locating doors, and
likewise floors should be contrasted with walls. In addition, furniture should
contrast with walls and floors so as not to create an obstacle.
Structural elements such as columns should be colour contrasted or brightly
marked so as to be visible to those who may have a visual disability.
Generally, patterns on flooring should be avoided or else should be minimal and
small to avoid visual confusion.
In addition to identifying hazards or warnings, tactile floor surfaces can also be
used to inform that there is a change in area (e.g. leaving a corridor and entering
a boarding area).
Tactile systems should be consistent throughout the building. For example,
terminals should not have carpeting in some boarding areas and tile in others as
this may create confusion for those who rely on tactile surfaces to guide them to
their destination.
Good lighting assists those with a visual disability to see better and allows people
who have a hearing impairment to lip read easier. However, care should be taken

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 35/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

to properly direct lighting and to use matte finishes on floors, walls and signage,
so as not to create glare which may create difficulties for all travelers.
Blinds can be used to adjust lighting levels in areas where the natural lighting
changes significantly throughout the day.

7. SIGNAGE

Signs must be clear, concise, and consistent. All travelers need clear information about
the purpose and layout of terminals to maintain a sense of direction and independent
use of all facilities. Using internationally and nationally established symbols and
pictograms with clear lettering and Braille ensures universal accessibility cutting across
regional/cultural and language barriers. A cohesive information and signage system can
provide visual (e.g. signs, notice boards), audible (e.g. public address and security
systems, induction loops, telephones, and infrared devices), and/ or tactile information
(e.g. signs with embossed lettering or Braille).

8. SIGN DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

The sign should be in a prominent position.


The face of the sign should be well-illuminated by natural or artificial light.
Letters should be simple such as Arial, Helvetica medium, and san serif or similar
and numbers should be Arabic.
The colour of the text should be in a colour that contrasts with the sign board.
The sign board should also contrast with the wall on which it is mounted.
The surface of the sign should not be reflective.
Some signs such as those adjacent to or on a toilet door may be embossed so that
they can be read by touch.
Illuminated signs should not use red text on a dark background.
Signs should be supplemented by Braille where possible.

0.14 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The historic city of Ahmedabad is becoming the increasing opportunities for trade and
commerce and as a center for higher education, the population of the city is already
touching 6 million and this heavy growth continues. Being thickly populated area,
Ahmadabads traffic needs cannot be met by only road-based system. With projected
increase in the population of the city, strengthening and augmenting of transport
infrastructure has assumed urgency. For this purpose provision of Rail-based Metro
system in the city has been considered.

Metro-Link Express for Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad (MEGA) Company Ltd intends to
implement Phase 1 of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project with international/multilateral
funding from lending agencies like JICA. Phase 1 comprises of the revised North-South
corridor from APMC to Motera along existing railway line and the East-West corridor
from Thaltej to Vastral. The East-West corridor provides connectivity between
residential areas in the western part of Ahmedabad and Industrial areas in the eastern
part and passes through old city and Ashram Road.

The objective of the study is to facilitate the Metro Link Express for Gandhinagar and
Ahmedabad (MEGA) in preparation of EIA report as per the requirement of regulatory
agencies and funding agency JICA. The scope of EIA includes the impacts resulting from
pre-construction, construction and operation phases of E-W & N-S corridor, Depot and
sub-stations. The EIA is based on detailed field reconnaissance surveys, inventories and
available secondary information.

The MoEF, Government of India, Notification of 14th September 2006 and its amendment
enlist projects in Schedule that require environmental clearance. However as per the
said notification a metro project does not require environmental clearance from MoEF.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

0.15 SECURITY MEASURES FOR A METRO SYSTEM

Metro is emerging as the most favoured mode of urban transportation system. The
inherent characteristics of metro system make it an ideal target for terrorists and
miscreants. Metro systems are typically open and dynamic systems which carry
thousands of commuters. Moreover the high cost of infrastructure, its economic
impotence, being the life line of city high news value, fear & panic and man casual ties
poses greater threat to its security. Security is a relatively new challenge in the context
of public transport. It addresses problems caused intentionally. Security differs from
safety which addresses problems caused accidentally. Security problems or threats are
caused by people whose actions aim to undermine or disturb the public transport
system and/or to harm passengers or staff. These threats range from daily operational
security problems such as disorder, vandalism and assault to the terrorist threat.

0.15.1 NECESSSITY OF SECURITY

It is well known that public transportation is increasingly important for urban areas to
prosper in the face of challenges such as reducing congestion and pollution. Therefore,
security places an important role in helping public transport system to become the mode
of choice. Therefore, excellence in security is a prerequisite for Metro system for
increasing its market share. Metro railway administration must ensure that security
model must keep pace rapid expansion of the metro and changing security scenario.

0.15.2 THREE PILLARS OF SECURITY

Security means protection of physical. Human and intellectual assets either from
criminal interference, removal of destruction by terrorists or criminals or incidental to
technological failures or natural hazardous events. There are three important pillars of
security as mentioned under:

(i) The human factor;


(ii) Procedures; and
(iii)Technology

0.16 DISASTER MANAGEMENT MEASURES

A disaster is a tragic event, be it natural or manmade, which brings sudden and immense
agony to humanity and disrupts normal life. It causes large scale human suffering due to
loss of life, loss of livelihood, damages to property and persons and also brings untold
hardships. It may also cause destruction to infrastructure, buildings, communication
channels essential services, etc.

0.16.1 Need for Disaster Management Measures

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 38/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The effect of any disaster spread over in operational area of Ahmedabad Metro is likely
to be substantial as MEGA deals with thousands of passengers daily in underground
tunnels, viaducts and stations. Disaster brings about sudden and immense misery to
humanity and disrupts normal human life in its established social and economic
patterns. It has the potential to cause large scale human suffering due to loss of life, loss
of livelihood, damage to property, injury and hardship. It may also cause destruction or
damage to infrastructure, buildings and communication channels of Metro. Therefore
there is an urgent need to provide for an efficient disaster management plan.

0.16.2 Objectives:

The main objectives of this Disaster Management Measures are as follows:

Save life and alleviate suffering.


Provide help to stranded passengers and arrange their prompt evacuation.
Instill a sense of security amongst all concerned by providing accurate
information.
Protect Metro Rail property.
Expedite restoration of train operation.
Lay down the actions required to be taken by staff in the event of a disaster in
MEGA in order to ensure handling of crisis situation in coordinated manner.
To ensure that all officials who are responsible to deal with the situation are
thoroughly conversant with their duties and responsibilities in advance. It is
important that these officials and workers are adequately trained in anticipation
to avoid any kind of confusion and chaos at the time of the actual situation and to
enable them to discharge their responsibilities with alertness and promptness.

0.17 Multi Modal Traffic Integration at Metro Stations

0.17.1 Background
The proposed metro in Ahmedabad has two corridors totaling 37.928 km and 32
stations, including terminal stations. It traverses across the city in the north-south and
east-west direction and along its path covers many important origins and destinations.
However, its reach will not be enough to reach all origins and destinations. Fortunately,
Ahmedabad has planned for a multi-modal system, where the proposed metro
complements the existing BRTS and AMTS services. The need is now to ensure that
people have safe, comfortable and secure access to the above modes as well as seamless
integration facilities.

The AMTS, which is a much older service, has a fleet of close to 800 buses and operates
over 150 routes. It has a daily ridership of close to 7 lakh. As the BRTS expands, the
AMTS routes are being rationalized to avoid major overlaps and expand into new,

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 39/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

upcoming suburbs of Ahmedabad. They are also expected to act as feeders to the BRTS
and AMTS. A new proposal by the AMTS calls for moving away from the traditional
destination oriented services to direction based services. Accordingly, new routes have
been proposed, consisting of 16 radial and 3 ring routes, running at high frequency.
The Centre of Excellence in Urban Transport, CEPT University has been commissioned
by MEGA to undertake a study on last mile connectivity for proposed metro corridor.
The Last Mile Connectivity refers to the provision of travel service from home or
workplace to the nearest public transportation mode. A trip is considered as the entire
journey between origin and destination. Commuters may utilize and combine different
modes of transport for the entire trip. Metro or BRTS may cater to a majority of this kind
of trip, but commuters always need to complete the access and egress part on their own.

Figure 0.1 Components of trip

Figure 0.2 Proposed Metro corridor

The map above shows the metro corridors proposed in phase 1. Along with the BRTS
and AMTS, it is expected that the mode share of public transit in Ahmedabad will
increase from the present 15% to 53% by 2043. However, there is a need to ensure that
these three systems are integrated in such a manner that the commuter gets benefit of
single trip through fare integration as well enjoys a seamless physical transition from
one mode to another. Along with this, there is a need to ensure that last mile
connectivity through pedestrian and bicycle facilities are enhanced.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 40/49


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This chapter will look at concepts of last mile connectivity along with multi-modal
integration, and identify key interchange locations that need to be identified in
Ahmedabad keeping in mind present and future demand and potential.

The cost requirement for such facilities would also be estimated at block costs level to
get an idea of the funds required.

0.17.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVES


The aim of this study is to suggest measures to increase last mile connectivity for metro
users and to integrate metro with other modes of transit. The specific objectives are:
To suggest measures that provide local destinations with safe, comfortable and
convenient accessibility to Metro stations
To propose design guidelines for local street environment
To propose conceptual designs that will maximize benefits and efficiency of
interchanges

existing development. All prominent activities such as schools, colleges, hospitals, malls
etc. will be mapped to ensure that the LAAP caters to all of them. At the same time, for
each station, feeder services in the form of BRTS and AMTS will be identified. Each
metro station will be classified in terms of level of the interchange, which will be
finalized based on the number of modes and frequency of services.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

0.18 COST ESTIMATES

Project Cost estimates for the Ahemdabad metro rail network has been prepared
covering civil, electrical, signalling and telecommunication works, rolling stock,
environmental protection, rehabilitation, considering 750v dc traction at March 2014
price level, both for Capital and Operation & Maintenance costs.

While preparing cost estimates, various items have generally been grouped under
three major heads on the basis of:-
(i) Route km. Length of alignment
(ii) No. of units of that item and
(iii) Item being an independent entity.
All items related with alignment, whether in underground or elevated or at-grade
construction, permanent way, traction, signalling and telecommunication, have been
estimated on rate per route km/km basis. Route km. cost for underground alignment
construction, excludes station lengths. Station lengths (260m) have to be done by cut
and cover in general and by tunneling under compelling exceptional circumstances.
The rates adopted for underground stations include cost of civil structures and
architectural finishes. Similarly, cost of elevated and at grade stations includes civil
work for station structures, architectural finishes, platform roofing, etc. Provisions for
electrical and mechanical works, air conditioning, lifts, escalators, etc, have been
worked out separately. These rates do not include cost of permanent way, traction,
power supply, signaling and telecommunication, automatic fare collection (AFC)
installations, for which separate provisions have been made in the cost estimates.
Similarly, for other items like Rolling stock, Traction & Power, VAC, etc, costs have
been summed up separately. In remaining items, viz. land, utility diversions,
rehabilitation, etc the costs have been assessed on the basis of each item taken as an
independent entity.

In order to arrive at realistic cost of various items, costs have been assessed on the
basis of accepted/completion rates in various contracts, awarded for similar works by
DMRC in Phase-III. A suitable escalation factor has been applied to bring these costs to
March 2014 price level. Taxes & Duties such as Customs Duty, Excise Duty, Sales Tax,
Works Tax, VAT, etc, wherever applicable, have been worked out on the basis of
prevailing rates and included in the cost estimates separately.

The estimated cost at March-2014 price level includes an amount of Rs. 7.04 Crore as
one-time charges of security personal towards cost of weapons, barricades, and hand
held and door detector machine etc. However, the recurring cost towards salary and
allowances of security personal have not taken in to account in FIRR calculation. 2% of
the project cost is taken for providing first mile and last mile connectivity i.e., feeder bus
services.

0.19.1 Investment Cost

For the purpose of calculating the Financial Internal Rate of Return (FIRR), the
completion cost with central taxes has been calculated by taking escalation factor
@7.5% per annum. It has been assumed that Gujarat State Government will exempt the
local taxes or reimburse the same and provide the land worth Rs. 793 crore at March-
2014 price level free of cost or it shall provide Interest Free Subordinate Debt.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

It is assumed that the construction work will start on 01.07.2014 and is expected to be
completed on 31.03.2018 with Revenue Opening Date (ROD) as 01.04.2018 for the both
the corridors. The total completion costs duly escalated and the cash flow of investments
shown in the table 0.17.

Although the construction is expected to get over by 31st March 2018, the cash flow spill
over up to March 2021 on account of payment normally required to be made to the
various contractors up to that period necessitated by contractual clauses.

The cost of Land of Rs. 793 crore at March-2014 price level included in the above
completion cost will be provided free of cost by the Gujarat Government. However, Cost
of 10 hectare land to be provided by Gujarat Government for property development has
not been included in above.

0.19.2 MODELS OF FINANCING

The financing option shall depend upon selection of the dedicated agency created to
implement the project. The prominent models are: -
(i) Special Purpose Vehicle under the State Government Control (Delhi Metro Rail
Corporation (DMRC) /Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC)
(ii) Built, Operate & Transfer (BOT), and

SPV Model: - The corridor is a standalone one and therefore forming a separate SPV may be in
the name of Ahmadabad Metro Rail Corporation may be desirable. The funding pattern under
this model (SPV) is placed in table 0.18 as under: -

BOT Model: - In this model, the private firm will be responsible for financing, designing,
building, operating and maintaining of the entire project. The contribution of
Government of Gujarat will be limited to cost of land only. Such a project become
eligible for Viability Gap Funding (VGF) upto 20% from the Central Government
provided the state government also contribute same or more amount towards the
project. The metro being a social sector project not much private parties are available
to bid for such a project. Besides quite expectedly the private operator may demand
assured rate of return in the range of 16% to 18% or a comfort of guaranteed ridership.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

0.20 ECONOMIC APPRAISALS

Economic benefits are social and environmental benefits which are quantified and then
converted into money cost and discounted against the cost of construction and
maintenance for deriving Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR). When actual revenue
earned from fare collection, advertisement and property development are discounted
against construction and maintenance cost, interest (to be paid) and depreciation cost,
Financial Internal rate of Return (FIRR) is obtained. Therefore, EIRR is viewed from
socio-economic angle while FIRR is an indicator of pure financial profitability and
viability of any project

0.20.1 Economic Performance Indicators

For Moderate Scenario, after generating the cost and benefit stream table, values of
economic indicators are derived and are given in table 0.23. Project period is 2014-
2043, EIRR (without tax) is found to be 19.94% and B/C ratio as 5.52 and with 12 %
discount, EIRR is 7.09% and B/C ratio is 2.03. NPV without discount is Rs 145959 Cr.
and with 12% discount rate, NPV is Rs. 9997 Cr. which shows that the project is
economically viable.

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

Chapter -1

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND

The historic city of Ahmedabad is amongst the major metropolitan cities in India. With the
increasing opportunities for trade and commerce and as a center for higher education, the
population of the city is already touching 6 million and this heavy growth continues.

The city, known as Ashapalli or Ashaval in ancient times, was founded by King Karnadeva
Vaghela as Karnavati in 11th Century as capital of his kingdom. Later on Sultan Ahmed Shah
of Gujarat Sultanate shifted his capital from Patan to Karnavati and renamed it as
Ahmedabad in 1411 AD. A number of monuments built during his era are spread over the
old city area. The walled city was also built during this era and its 12 gates are still existing
though most of the wall can't be seen anymore. The city thrived as the capital of strong
kingdom but later became part of the Moghul Sultanate in 1573. Shahjahan spent the prime
of his life in this city and developed the present Shahi Baug area. The city was invaded by
the Marathas in the year 1707 and ruled by them from 1753 AD to 1817 AD, when the city
was taken over by the British.

During the British period the city became "Manchester of India" due to large scale
manufacturing of textile. The first textile mill was set up in 1854 and more such mills
followed soon after with rapid industrialization. However, the textile industry in the city is
no more a force to reckon with, yet it is fifth largest producer of denim cloth in the world.
The eastern part of the walled city is mostly inhabited by the families of mill mazdoors, who
have been forced to find alternative jobs due to closure of most of the textile mills. However
many chemical and pharmaceutical industries have come up around the city. Trade is still
flourishing in the city as textile weaving, tie-and-dye work, zari work and intricate silk
embroidery produced by this city has been famous for centuries.

Ahmedabad became capital of the newly formed Gujarat State in the year 1960 but a new
capital was established at Gandhinagar in 1970. At present Ahmedabad is the district
headquarter and the biggest city of the state. The High Court and many offices of the Central
Government still exist at Ahmedabad. A new Division of Western Railway has recently been
formed at Ahmedabad due to the increasing share of rail traffic in the area with
development of private ports in Gujarat.

The city is also a tourist place and gateway to Saurashtra and Kuchchh region. The main
tourist attraction of the city are Ahmed Shah's Tomb, Teen Darwaza, Bhadra Fort, Swami
Narayan Temple, Geeta Mandir, Shaking Minarets, Jama Masjid, Kankaria Lake, Rani Sipri's
Mosque and Tomb, Rani Rupmati Mosque, Shahibaug Palace and Sabarmati Ashram. In
addition number of festivals are celebrated with colour and gaiety to promote tourism.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 1/38


CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

The city has many educational institutes including Gujarat University. The other
internationally and nationally known academic and research institutes are the Indian
Institute of Management (IIM), the Physical Research Laboratory, the Institute of Plasma
Research, the Space Application Centre, the School of Architecture and Centre for
Environment Planning, the National institute of Design, L.D. Institute of Technology and
Nirma University.

Gandhinagar, the Capital of Gujarat, is a carefully planned city on the lines of Chandigarh.
The city is divided in 30 well-planned sectors, which are generally self-contained. The core
of the city is the Assembly Building (Vidhan Sabha) with administrative offices and
Secretariat surrounding it. The wide roads, lined with trees are crossing at right angles to
each other and have lawns on both sides. The tree cover in Gandhinagar is one of the
biggest in India.

Gandhinagar is well connected with Ahmedabad through highway from the city as well as
Airport. The rail connection to Ahmedabad is also available but the same is not very
popular. The city has Akshardham Temple as a tourist attraction.

1.2 STUDY BACKGROUND


Originally DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Network and Regional Rail System was submitted
by DMRC in 2005, consisting following corridors.
Regional Rail System
o Line 1 Barajedi-Kalupur-Kalol
o Line 2 Kalupur-Naroda
Metro Rail System:
o Line 1 APMC Vasna Aayakar Bhawan-Sabarmati - Akshardham (North-South
corridor)
o Line 2 Kalupur-Aayakar Bhawan -Thaltej (East-West corridor)

Subsequently, in 2008 DMRC was again commissioned by GIDB to prepare DPR for metro
connectivity from Gandhinagar to GIFT city & from Gandhi Nagar to Airport and review
certain portion of the corridors proposed in 2005 DPR. Accordingly study was carried by
DMRC and reports were submitted in 2010.

Further vide their letter no MEGA/Chm/Oct/2013/, dated 20/10/2013(Annexure I) MEGA


requested to DMRC for upgradation of earlier DPR submitted by DMRC. Accordingly the
DPR of Ahmedabad Metro Rail project was prepared by DMRC for MEGA Co. in February
2014.This DPR and the proposed alignment was approved by the state cabinet in April 2014
and sent to Ministry of Urban Development in April 2014.

Since the reorganization of MEGA in 2011, the State government of Gujarat had been
contemplating the finalization of the corridors for the metro. Since 2012, the Govt. of
Gujarat (GoG) had been pursuing the case of Metro corridor to be constructed along the
Railway corridor (the Sabarmati Botad MG line of Bhavnagar division of Western railway)
convenient passage for traffic. In this connection letters had been sent from Secretary, UDD,
GoG to Ministry of railways, Chief Secretary, GoG and Honble CM, Gujarat to Minister of
Railways. However no response had been forthcoming from railways. As a result left with
no other choice, the GoG decided to finalized an alternate route for Ahmedabad metro and
simultaneously pursued the case with Railways for seeking their approval for utilization of
the underutilized railway corridor.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 2/38


CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

The GoG continued to pursue the this case and a request was once again sent to WR by
UDD/GoG in June 2014 seeking WRs approval for the proposed alignment of North South
corridor along the Sabarmati Botad MG railway alignment. Based on subsequent
correspondence, a reply was received from Western Railway in July 2014 giving their in
principle approval for railway crossings involved in the East West metro corridor. They also
requested for additional details for the proposed north south corridor to be constructed
with the same terminals as in DPR 2014 but with the North South metro corridor following
the Railway alignment along the metre gauge corridor in railway land.

As discussions with Railways indicated that acceptance from Railways could be expected,
this aspect of modification in the North South corridor was highlighted in the PIB meeting
held in August 2014 at the MoUD, GOI.

After a series of correspondence, to pursue the case further, a meeting was held with WR
and MEGA on 2/9/1014 at Mumbai. It was indicated by WR during the course of the
meeting that WR was agreeable to the proposals of GoG but MEGA should submit a
detailed proposal with the alignment on the eastern edge of the railway boundary
without any central pier for the stations.

A team of officials of Western Railway physically inspected the site of the proposed revised
alignment on 8th September 2014, along with MEGA officials. Subsequently on 15/9/14,
WR accorded in principle approval to the proposal of GoG regarding the modified
alignment along the Sabarmati Botad railway alignment on railway land subject to
discussions held previously.

This approval of Western Railways was conveyed to the High powered committee of GoG
for conveying their approval to the revised NS alignment. Subsequently, the High Powered
Committee of Government of Gujarat (GoG) also approved the revised N-S alignment vide
their minutes issued on 22/10/14.The cabinet sanction for the Project was received on
18/10/14 in accordance with the modified alignment. Accordingly, a preliminary proposal
indicating the details of the viaducts & stations in the railway land and the preliminary
proposal was submitted by MEGA to WR on 28/10/14. The State Cabinet was also apprised
of the modified alignment on 5/11/14.

For the North south corridor the end points of APMC and Motera stadium, remain
unchanged as the variation in the track occurs between these two points. As this change in
alignment had a repercussion on finances and engineering of the complete project and the
DPR is the base document based on which the basic design of the Project is carried forward,
the necessity for the revision in DPR has arisen.

Several other studies have been undertaken for a mass transit system for the Ahmedabad-
Gandhinagar region. These are:

Louis Berger undertook the first study on Integrated Public Transport System for
Ahmedabad in the year 2000, on being commissioned by GIDB.
In 2003, GIDB commissioned DMRC to prepare a Detailed Project Report for metro.
In 2003-04, RITES on behalf of DMRC, carried out a detailed study for identifying feasible
metro lines.
In 2009, to provide metro connectivity to newly proposed financial centre - GIFT city in the
Ahmedabad- Gandhinagar area, GIDB commissioned another study to DMRC. CRRI, on

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 3/38


CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

behalf of DMRC undertook this study and estimated demand along the proposed metro
corridor of Airport-Koba-GIFT.

This study will focus on two metro corridors: East-West (Thaltej to Vastral) and North-
South (Visat-APMC) identified for Metro Phase I and is shown in the figure below. The
metro is expected to commence its operation in the year 2018. For the DPR, the ridership
forecasts would be carried out for the years 2018, 2021, 2031 and 2043.

Map 1.1 Proposed Metro Corridors

1.2.1 Introduction to the study area


The proposed metro alignment provides north-south connectivity in Ahmedabad city from
Visat to APMC running along the Ashram road on most of the sections. The other corridor
Thaltej to Vastral provides east to west connectivity and passes through important nodes of
Kalupur, Ashram road, Thaltej and Industrial areas on the east of Ahmedabad.

As per the Draft Development Plan and Integrated Mobility Plan for Greater Ahmedabad
Region, the future growth in this area is expected to intensify between Ahmedabad and
Gandhinagar.The study area definition would be carried out keeping in view the future
growth expected in the study region.

1.2.2 Study methodology

1.2.2.1 Study area definition


The first step of the process is to define the study area for the modeling purpose. Apart from
Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar area of future development around both the cities are also
considered. The study area delineated is based on the administrative boundaries, urban
agglomeration, functional linkages, traffic movement, and proposed and committed
investment areas. This area primarily consists of area within the Ahmedabad Municipal
Corporation (AMC), Gandhinagar Urban Development Area (GUDA), urban outgrowth areas
of Ahmedabad i.e. Kathwada, Singarva, Bopal, Guma and41 villages between AMC&GUDA

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 4/38


CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

andadjoining areas are also considered on the basis of contiguous built up and interaction
with Ahmedabad.

1.2.2.2 Ahmedabad
The area within the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation limits consists of:
The traditional city centre within the fort walls with relatively high-density development,
large concentration of commercial activities and narrow streets,
The eastern sector accommodating large and small industries and low income residential
areas
A well planned western sector with wide roads accommodating major institutions and high-
income residential areas
The outgrowth areas (New west AMC zone) added recently to AMC comprising mainly
residential developments of middle and low income households.

1.2.2.3 GUDA
Gandhinagar, Gujarat's capital city, lies on the west bank of the Sabarmati River, and
approximately 32km north of Ahmedabad. Gandhinagar, a planned city is divided in to
thirty sectors with a large administrative sector at its centre. Each sector has its own
shopping and community centre, primary school, health centre, government and private
housing. Large recreational areas and wide green open spaces are developed as a part of a
city. Gandhinagar Urban Development Authority (GUDA) caters an area of 388 km2 which
includes two urban areas (Gandhinagar, Adalaj) and 39 villages. GUDA shares its
geographical boundaries with AUDA.

1.2.2.4 Growth Centres around Ahmadabad and Gandhinagar


Apart from the above there are some committed growth centres around Ahmedabad and
Gandhinagar
Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) located around 10 km south east of
Gandhinagar is an upcoming city in the vicinity of both Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. The
city is conceptualised with the purpose of provisioning high quality physical infrastructure
for finance and technology firms.
Industrial Estates andSpecial Economic Zone (SEZ): The study area also houses 11
Industrial estates of these 7 are existing and 4 are proposed. Apart from these there are
around 11existing 4 proposed SEZ. Part of the Changodar SIR also forms a part of the study
area.

1.2.3 Zoning Structure


The zoning of the Study area has been based on the GIDB study on Integrated Public Transit
System for Ahmedabad in the year 2000. The zoning within the AMC area has been adopted
from the GIDB study, while the zoning in Gandhinagar has been taken from LASA study on
Gandhinagar Master Plan in 2009. Some zones inside AMC area have been further split into
smaller units owing to the size of zones and being in the influence area of Metro. Outside
the city limits, each village has been taken as a single zone. The zones in the study area have
been further divided into eight categories as listed below for population and employment
distribution in future years. The study area has 409 internal zones and 9 external zones
(towards Kalol, Mahesana, towards Sanand, Viramgam, towards Bavla, Rajkot, towards
Bareja, towards Memadabad, kheda, Vadodara, towards Kapdavanj, towards Dahegam,
towards Chiloda, Himmatnagar and towards Mansa.

addition to some primary surveys.
Following sets of data has been used for this study:

1.2.4.1 Household Survey Data


For estimating the base year demand, the study has used the available household survey
data for Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. For GUDA area, demand data of around 1500
households is available for the year 2009 from the Lea Associates study on GUDA Master
Plan. CoE-UT has also undertaken a household survey for the city of Ahmedabad of around
12000 households in the year 2011-12. This data has been used for developing the base
demand matrix for the city of Ahmedabad.

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

1.2.4.2 Existing Land Use Details (AUDA-2009/10 surveys)


The existing land use has been taken from the Draft Development Plan of AUDA 2021.
Besides this, additional surveys have also been carried out along the proposed metro
corridor to have a detailed mapping of land use. This information provided a useful base for
identification of suitable station locations and in developing Local Area Access Plans in
areas around the station.

1.2.4.3 Details of Existing and Proposed Road Networks


For preparing a base model, network coding of the study area for both base and future year
is important. The road network from the IMP model has been taken for developing the base
year road network for the study area. For the proposed road network, Draft Development
Plan of AUDA and Integrated Mobility Plan for Greater Ahmedabad Region have also been
considered.

1.2.4.4 Details of Public Transport Services


In order to develop an understanding of base year public transit services, detailed service
information from Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS), Ahmedabad Janmarg
Limited (BRTS), VTCOS (private operator) in Gandhinagar and GSRTC for regional services
in the study area were collected. Data on operational routes, location of stops, fare
structure, fleet sizes, service frequency, journey times, vehicle capacity etc. were collected
apart from details of current ridership levels. This information was used for developing a
base year public transport model in Emme.

1.2.4.5 Classified Volume Count Data


Classified Volume Count Surveys have been carried out in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar as
part of previous studies like Integrated Mobility Plan for Greater Ahmedabad Region and
Benchmarking for the city of Ahmedabad. The CVC data was from these studies and used for
an existing situation analysis of road network in the study area. The screen line CVC for the
IMP study was used for model calibration. CVC was carried out at seven locations along the
metro corridor for validating the model outputs.

1.2.4.6 Speed surveys


Travel speed surveys were carried out on major corridors of the city as part of the
Benchmarking study of Ahmedabad and for IMP project in 2011. Additional surveys on
some major roads not covered under the above studies were also conducted. This
information was critical for calibration of the traffic assignment model for the base year.

1.2.4.7 Employment Data


For estimating the employment in the base year, property tax data of AMC was used. There
are 270 property tax wards in AMC, having a total of 3.62 lakhs non-residential properties
(2010). A primary survey of around 1470 properties across 28 property tax wards was
carried out as a part of this study to compute trip generation rates for different types of
non-residential properties. This was subsequently used for generating employment
estimates in the study area.

1.2.4.8 Willingness to pay and shift survey


Willingness to Pay and Shift Survey has been carried out along the metro corridors to assess
the likely shift on metro from other modes under different conditions.

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

1.2.5 Modelling framework


A detailed four stage modelling has been carried out for this study. For the study area,
analysis would be undertaken at the Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) level. The TAZs are based
on the IPTS Study by Louis Berger and IMP Study by CoE-UT, CEPT University.

1.2.5.1 Modelling Inputs


A Base Year model of the study area has been developed for the year 2011. The network
details and traffic survey information is available from the previous studies. For the demand
information, household survey (2012) data has been used. Apart from this, employment
data has been computed using property tax data and trip generation rates arrived at
through different non-residential properties. For the education data, enrolment information
from schools and colleges were collated.

1.2.5.2 Model Characteristics


For the purpose of this study, public transport modelling has been carried out. The project
start year for metro is being taken as 2018 and the forecast year is 2043. The model period

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

The population in the AMC limits is 5.5 million in 2011 from 4.5 million in 2001 (AMC,
2012). Spatial distribution of this population within the city over the decades shows that up
to 1981, most of the new population added to the city was concentrated within the old AMC
limits itself, especially in the eastern part. Expansion of the peripheral areas particularly on
west began in the 1980s and has continued till date.

Gandhinagar on the other hand has a moderate to low growth of 1.38% during the last
decade.

1.4.1 Population Density

The population density for AMC area is 119 persons per hectare. However, if we consider
only the developed area, the density figure shoots upto 215 persons / hectare. There is
dense development on many parts of the eastern city, however, the density differences
between east and west are not much (density for developed area is 194 pph and 234 in
western and eastern Ahmedabad respectively). While western area accommodates high
income residences, institutional areas, it also accommodates low income areas in the south-
west and north-western part. The density of Gandhinagar Notified Area (GNA) is 86 pph
which is less compared to 119 pph for AMC.

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

1.5 BASIS FOR POPULATION FORECAST

1.5.1 Base Details


Planning Area: Demographic forecasts were initially done for the study area delineated as
Greater Ahmedabad Region for the purpose of carrying out Integrated Mobility Plan. The
Metro System study area is a sub-set of IMP study area. The facts and figures for metro DPR
study area were taken from the total IMP area details.

Area Population Worker WPR


Study Area for Metro 1146 (sqkm) 6263406 2194847 0.35
Study Area for IMP 4708 (sqkm) 8112465 2861925 0.35
Table 1.4: Population of Metro & IMP study areas (2011)

Sub-Units: The total area has been subdivided into Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) following
city, wards and village boundaries and necessary demographic details have been obtained
from Census of India, Municipal Corporation and other authorities.

Plan Period: The Development Plan and the IMP plans were prepared with 2031 a terminal
year. Metro system DPR terminal year has been kept as 2043. Facts and figures estimated
earlier for 2031 were extended based on the trend for 2043.

1.5.1.1 Population projection and distribution


A three stage process has been adopted for arriving at population estimates for the total
area and its distribution in subunits.

1. Forecasting population of the state


The Registrar General of India has prepared population estimates for India and its subunits
(states) for the period 2026. The details are available
athttp://www.educationforallinindia.com/Population _Projection_Report_2006.pdf. Taking
the past trends and the forecasts provided in the report for the state of Gujarat, by
extrapolating trend from 1971 to 2026, forecasts for 2031 and 2043 were arrived at.

2. Estimating Study Area Share


Taking population share of the study area in the total state population, adopting Ration
Method, future shares were estimated and then converted into persons.

3. Distributing estimated study area population in subunits/TAZ


Estimated 2043 population was distributed based on the change in shares adopting ratio
method. Density checks were appropriately used to arrive at holding capacity. Excess
population, if any was redistributed in the study area again using ratio method but
excluding the zones with excess population.

To arrive at population for interim period and also 3 alternative scenarios the following
process was adopted:

Moderate scenario: Equal growth over the project period


High/Low Scenarios: +/- 30% growth over time was assumed

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 13/38


CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

1.5.2 Population forecasts


Census 2011 population has been used as the base year population and the projections have
been done on taking into consideration the following criteria:
Past population growth rates (decadal/ annual growth rate) and comparing them with the
state trends.
Industrial development
Accessibility
Close proximity to the urban areas

The future forecast of population is based on the projections done as a part of the Integrated
Mobility Plan for Ahmedabad Gandhinagar Region, 2031. A ratio method for population
projection was adopted to forecast the total population in the region. The projections were
extended to 2043 which is the horizon year for the project. Forecast was also done for the
metro commissioning year of 2018, intermediate years of 2021& 2031 and the horizon year
of 2043.

The total population of the study area in the horizon year of 2043 is projected to 1.1 crores.
By 2043 about 70% of the population of the study area delineated will be residing in the
AMC area and about 18% in AMC adjoining areas and 10 % in GUDA. The CAGR for the
region is about 1.8% from 2011 to 2043. Population for the year 2018 is interpolated from
2011 &2021.

1.5.3 Growth Alternatives for the study area


Three alternatives for growth distribution were worked out for the horizon year of 2043:
Business as Usual: It is assumed that the growth in the study area will take place at the
existing growth rate and a longer time period will be taken to realize the benefits of shift
towards public transport modes i.e. market forces will dictate where growth will happen.
Moderate: This is an induced growth alternative where development will be induced along
the metro. The growth will take place on a faster pace along the metro than the gradual
scenario and the benefits of shift will be seen at a faster pace.
Rapid: This is a more focused policy driven alternative, where in efforts will be made in
providing impetus for rapid development along the metro TAZ with the assumption that the
shift towards the public transport mode will be realized much faster that the moderate
alternative.

The assumptions for population projection in the year 2021 and 2031 are given below for
different alternatives

The distribution of population in various growth alternatives also considers the availability
of vacant land and areas available for infilling in the city.

1.5.4 Business as Usual Alternative

As discussed earlier this alternative will have 30% less change in the overall population as
compared to the average percentage change between 2011 and 2043. The population and
density in this scenario for the year 2018, 2021, 2031 and 2043 is given below:

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

Map 1.6 Population Density Distribution Business as Usual

As evident from the map above metro is expected to trigger growth along its corridors.
However, the intensity of growth will be low in the AMC areas and higher growth is
observed in the AMC adjoining areas due to availability of developable land. The market
forces will take their own pace as availability of land for development will be the driving
factor. The densities will gradually increase along the metro corridor however the growth in
the first decade (2011 to 2021) will be low at about 10%.

The proportion of population in Ahmedabad to the study area will reduce from 89% in 2011
to about 70% in 2043 with high growth rates in the AMC adjoining areas owing to the
availability of developable land. It is also assumed that the population growth rate will
stabilize in the decade after 2031.

1.5.5 Moderate Growth Alternative

An average percentage change is assumed in the moderate growth alternative from 2011 to
2043. This is also an induced growth alternative where growth along the metro corridors
will be induced in the AMC area as a result of providing higher FSI along the corridors.
Redevelopment along the corridors will also be triggered as a result. However, due to
limited amount of land being available immediately the growth in the AMC areas will take a
moderate course. The distribution of population in this alternative is provided in the table
below

1.5.6 Rapid Growth Alternative

As mentioned earlier this is a more focused policy driven growth alternative. Assumption
taken is that the growth rates along the metro corridor will be at a high rate initially due to
the policy incentives provided by the government to attract more people residing in the
transit influence zone metro and BRT. This alternative would also see active integration of
all modes so that they complement each other rather than competing. Metro and BRT will
act as the rapid corridors in the city and most of the population will be residing within 500
m of the transit zone. The city will try to remain compact.

Most of the growth in this alternative will be realized by 2031 for the AMC area and after
that growth will start spilling to the AMC adjoining areas. The densities in the city along the
metro corridor will rise to above 300 pph. The growth in the initial years along the metro
will also be high at 2.19% per annum.

This is also a very optimistic alternative as high growth rates are expected in AMC area itself
and areas along metro is expected to undergo transformation. Feeder system and
interchanges will operate seamlessly providing efficient public transport service in the
study area.

The Work force participation rates in the study area will rise from about 35% to around
42% in future owing to the inclusion of more female workers and also the improvement in
education levels in the study area.

1.6 EMPLOYMENT CHARACTERISTICS

Today, several key high-growth industries such as textiles, pharmaceuticals and natural gas
are firmly anchored in Ahmedabad. The two of the biggest pharmaceutical companies of India
ZydusCadila and Torrent Pharmaceuticals are based here. Also the industrial centres
around Ahmedabad, its traditional strength, have witnessed a turnaround, to Ahmedabads
advantage. The city also is the corporate headquarter of the Nirma Group of Industries and
the Adani Group.

The city of Ahmedabad has been undergoing rapid transformation. The city economic base,
from its dependency on single sector, textile initially and then chemicals, has turned into
multi-sector economy. The automobile sector, logistics and transport and finance are some of
the emerging sectors. With this transformation underway, the development focus is shifting
from city proper to city region.

A non-residential property survey was conducted for Ahmedabad employment as per the
LASA report was taken as a base for Gandhinagar. Apart from this employment numbers from
the industries department was also used for this purpose.

It is estimated that the employment in the study area is about 2.5 million in 2011. Owing to
mix land use in the city there is no single CBD in Ahmedabad. However, predominant
employment centres in the city are GIDC estates in the eastern part, Income tax
(Aykarbhavan), Ashram road, Wadaj, Sabarmati Railway Station, APMC, Anjali, Drive in road,
Kalupur, CG Road, SG Highway, Prahlad Nagar to name a few.

It can be observed that the share of Primary sector is declining in Gujarat state and
economy seems to be driven by the Secondary and Tertiary Sector. The reasons could be
attributable to followings.

Better Infrastructure facilities (Water Supply, Power, Roads).


Increased Industrial and Service sector investment.

Agriculture: as can be seen in the figure above, the agriculture in Gujarat accounts for 13%
of the States GDP, less than the share of this sector for the country as a whole in 2010-11
(18.21%). However, the growth pattern of agriculture in the state has been extremely
volatile, much more so than for the country as a whole. The main reason for the volatility is
the dependence of agriculture in the state on rainfall. This scenario is likely to change with
the expansion of the irrigation network emanating from the Narmada River projects. The
network will help to stabilize agricultural production by providing access to water to large
parts of South Gujarat and, eventually, Saurashtra. Cropping choices made by farmers will
rapidly adjust to the improvement in the availability of water, giving them the flexibility to
respond to market price signals. This will also help to both raise the value of output and
reduce its volatility. Thus it is expected that Primary sector would retain the similar growth
trends initially for next 7-8 years and which would further decline gradually as the time
passes.

Industry: Gujarat is a leader among the Indian states as far as the industrial sector is
concerned. The share of industry (covering mining, manufacturing, electricity and
construction, but dominated by manufacturing) in the States GDP is close to 38 per cent in
2012-13 higher than the national average and registered a growth of 9.5% during the last
five years. A combination of historical factors, which made the state home to early
industrialization in textiles, business-friendly policies even in a relatively restrictive regime
prior to the liberalization of 1991, which have continued since then and natural advantages
like the coastline, has contributed to this status. The advantage the state has in
manufacturing as a result of both history and natural advantages is going to persist over the
coming decade. Large investments in Ports as well as supporting investments in
infrastructure and facilities, will provide an attractive investment environment to
companies and entrepreneurs who either import inputs or export their products. Proximity
to several large, prosperous and industrialized urban markets also make Gujarat an
attractive location for producers oriented to the domestic market. Thus in spite of the fact
that Gujarats secondary sectors growth has declined a bit during the last three years, it is
expected to retain similar growth trends for next 7 to 8 years and drive the economy owing
to the advantages discussed above .The growth rates would decline gradually
thereafter.Further several new infrastructure programs will help to cement the advantage
that the state has over others in this regard.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 25/38


CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

Services: Gujarats services sector accounts for a lower share (49%) of its GDP than in the
country as a whole (54%) in 2010-11. The difference of over 5 percentage points indicating
that services in Gujarat have been growing at a somewhat slower rate than in the country as
a whole. Given Gujarats comparative advantage in manufacturing, it is not surprising that
services have not performed as well. However, a fundamental driver of services growth is
the availability and quality of human capital. Significant investments in education and
creation of skills that employers can immediately put to use are a critical element of a
services-led growth strategy. Some of the advantages that accrue to manufacturing, such as
proximity to large urban centers, can also work in favor of services. Other factors include
high quality infrastructure for operations as well as for residential and leisure purposes, in
order to attract or retain workers. Further attempts have been made to retain the growth
momentum in service sector by conductive policy and investment in sector. These factors
would also contribute in increase in growth. However we have adopted slightly
conservative growth rate of 12.76% in 2021 which has been observed during 2010-13. It is
estimated that the growth would further decline gradually thereafter.

In short, the macroeconomic scenario in Gujarat supports a balanced strategy that takes
advantage of the impact of increased water availability on agricultural growth, reinforces its
inherent competitive advantages in industry and pushes services growth through
significant investments in education, which themselves offer commercial opportunities.

Based on above discussion, future growth rates have been estimated for Gujarat and
presented in Figure below.

1.7.3 Projection of Employment of Gujarat State

Employment Elasticity estimated for a projection period. The Employment elasticity refers
to the percentage increase in employment with 1 per cent increase in the GDP. The Task
Force on Employment constituted by the Planning Commission estimated the Sectorial
Employment Elasticity2. This has been adopted for base year up to 2021. While it is also true
that as an economy grows over the years, employment elasticity may fall which is in part a
reflection of the improved productivity of labour. Improved productivity of labour is
necessary in order to sustain higher real wages. Based on above Employment Elasticity has
been estimated for future. It is specified in table below.

1.7.4 Projections of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar DistrictsEconomy and Employment

The study of evolution of economy of Ahmedabad District indicates that it has been
transformed from primary agrarian economy in 1850-1900 to manufacturing and service
sector driven economy presently. The evolution of economy is specified in figure below.

Figure 1.14 Economy Evolution for Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad Districts District Domestic Product (DDP) has grown by CAGR of 13.36%
where as that of Gandhinagar has been grown at 12.1% during the period of 2007-08 to
2011-12 at Current Prices. While Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar registered CAGR of 8% and
7% respectively at Constant Prices during the same period. Both district registered slightly
lower growth than state GSDP (9%) during the same period. Following table indicates the
DDP growth of both districts.

It can be seen that combined contribution of Secondary and tertiary sector stands at 90% in
Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar districts respectively. It indicates that both districts are
dominated by manufacturing and service sector. The contribution of Ahmedabad and
Gandhinagars economy in state GSDP is presented in table below.

Both Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar are considered as Gujrats investment magnet owing to
presence of adequate civil, transport and industrial infrastructure. While in absolute terms
both districts will grow but their share in State GDP is expected to decline gradually as time
passes. While decline in Service Sector/Tertiary sector would be lower as compared to
Primary and Secondary sector owing to the fact that GIFT city would be fully occupied and
operational and states emphasis in service sector development.Based on likely
contribution/share of both districts in Gujarats GSDP, the share of sectors of economy of
both districts have been estimated conservatively which is presented in table below.

As mentioned in previous sections the growth in the AMC region will be low as evident from
the table below, employment will grow at a steady pace in this alternative. New activity
areas are expected to develop along the metro corridor however the growth in employment
will not be high. More jobs are expected to come in areas outside the AMC area due to
availability of land. Growth in outer areas in the first decade will be high will subsequently
stabilize in the last decade (2031-2041)

The Influence of the metro on growth in the study area is felt in all alternatives. The
realisation of the growth will however vary owing to the policy incentives taken ranging
from increase in FSI along the metro corridors to integration of all public transit modes and
development of interchanges. The actual growth realised will also depend on how easily the
land (both vacant and infill) will be made available for development.

Traffic congestion on the city roads of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar is still moderate
when compared to many other cities of similar size. However, with rapid rate of
motorisation, the congestion levels are beginning to show up on certain stretches. The
western part of Ahmedabad has developed mainly as residential area and the eastern
part has the industrial estates. Because of this, the traffic flow is heavy from west to east
in the mornings and viceversa in the evening, which causes traffic congestion and
frequent traffic jams on the city roads during morning and evening peak periods.

Classified volume counts were carried out at several locations along proposed metro
corridors in 2014 (refer figure below). The results of the same are presented in the table
below.

In Gandhinagar the speed profile of the strategic network has high average speed (> 50
kmph) on NH and SH (including alphabet and cross roads in GNA) and lower on MDR and
internal roads. The average speed on divided roads (55 kmph) is higher than undivided
roads (40 kmph).




2.3 PUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORK

The existing public transport services in Ahmedabad consist of buses and bus based
rapid transit system. The bus services are provided by Ahmedabad Municipal Transport
Service (AMTS) while BRTS services are operated by Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited (AJL),
a special purpose vehicle (SPV) formulated by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation,


DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 4/154


CHAPTER 2 TRAFFIC DEMAND FORECAST

Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority and Government of Gujarat to govern the
BRTS operations in the city. In Gandhinagar, the city bus services are offered by a private
operator, Vallabhipur Transportation CoOperative Society Pvt. Ltd. (VTCOS). Regional
public transit demand is catered by Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC).
GSRTC is providing regional public transport services; this public transport service
brings commuters from surrounding towns and villages such as Dehgam, Mansa,
Khedbrahma and Gandhinagar.

AMTS: AMTS has been providing public transport services in the city since 1947, with
201 routes covering 549 km of road network, AMTS covers about 88% of the developed
AMC area and carry 0.9 million passengers per day. It caters to roughly 11% of the trips in
the city (AMTS, 2012).


Map 24 AMTS Network
Source: COE (Centre of Excellence) in Urban Transport, CEPT University, Ahmedabad

The observed speed of AMTS is approximately 17km/hr, and most of the routes (70%)
pass through walled city area, hence the city center is very well connected to most parts
of the city. Majority of the AMTS bus route is structured around the walled city, as
historically walled city are used to be the commercial hub of the city. Currently, the new
developed residential clusters near SarkhejGandhinagar Highway, Bodakdev,
Prahladnagar predominantly newwest zone is lacking in terms of high frequency of
AMTS routes.

BUS Rapid Transit System (BRTS) Janmarg
Janmarg BRTS services commenced operations as a closed system in Oct 2009. The BRT
system currently with a network length of 63 kms attracts 1.17 lakh passengers daily.


DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 5/154


CHAPTER 2 TRAFFIC DEMAND FORECAST

There are 10operational routes and the peak headways are around 2.5 to 3 minutes. Due
to the dedicated corridors and priority given at major intersections, the peak hour
speeds of BRT buses are 25kmph. The current BRT network connects the important
origins and destination plus the transit interchanges such as railway stations, regional
bus terminals, and university areas, industrial areas such as Narol, Naroda; residential
and commercial hubs and recreational public spaces such as Kankaria Lake.

Source:COE(CentreofExcellence)inUrbanTransport,CEPTUniversity,

City Bus Services in Gandhinagar
VTCOS started its bus operations in Gandhinagar in August, 2009. In the first phase
approximately 11 buses were operating, buses were running on Compressed Natural
Gas (CNG). Currently, VTCOS is operating approximately 45 buses in GUDA and GNA.
VTCOS is currently operating on 9 routes, the routes are Kh1 to Akshardham,
Akshardham to Pathikashram, Ch0 to Gh7, Ch0 to Sector 19/20, Adalaj to Chiloda,
Pethapur to Gh1, VasaniaMahadev to Pathikashram, Vavol to Sector 21 and Gh0 to
Akshardham via sector.

The headways of the buses range from 10 minutes to 20 minutes. The average
occupancy of the bus for all the routes is around 40. The observed occupancy of the bus
during peak hour was more than 100%.

2.3.1 Socioeconomic Characteristics
Based on the household survey data of Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad, the average
household size in the study area is 4.6 in comparison to 5.04 in Census 2001. At a
disaggregate level, average household size in Ahmedabad is 4.6 in comparison to 4.5 in
Gandhinagar.



DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 7/154


CHAPTER 2 TRAFFIC DEMAND FORECAST

The Work Force Participation Rate (WPR) in the study area is 0.34. Of the total worker
population in the study area, majority of them (57%) are involved in the private service,
followed by around 33% in business activity. Around 5% are engaged in government
services and another 5% are working as labourers. (Source: Ahmedabad Household
Data (CEPT, 2012), Gandhinagar Household Data (LASA, 2009).

In terms of vehicle ownership, around 16% of the households in the study area do not
own any vehicles while another 14% own only cycles. Almost half of the households
own twowheelers, while 15% households own cars.

2.3.2 Travel Characteristics
Travel patterns, defined in terms of trip rate, mode choice, geographical distribution etc.,
are the guiding principles in determining the system needs and its growth. It seems that
socioeconomic characteristics such as income, age, sex, occupation, vehicle ownership,
etc., are related to travel characteristics of individual households. This chapter,
attempts to describe the travel characteristics in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar Urban
Development Authority (GUDA) limit. It also describes interaction of the trips between
two major urban areas Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.

2.3.3 Trip rates
The per capita trip rate including walk, as per AMTS/CEPT (1992) was 1.2, GIDB IPTS
(2000) was 1.1 trips per day, GIDB Metro study by DMRC (2003) was 1.16. However, as
per the 2012 household study by CEPT shows trip rate to be high at 1.44 (all modes).
The trip rate for Ahmedabad excluding all the walk trips below or equal to 500 meters,
is about 1.39 in comparison to 0.99 in case of GUDA.

The following table shows the summary of trip rates in AMC and GUDA area:

2.3.4 Mode shares
The share of walk and cycle trips in both AMC and GUDA is quite high. Around 46% and
42% of the trips in AMC and GUDA respectively are by NMT modes. Around 30% and
35% trips in AMC and GUDA are by private modes. Public transport ridership is quite
low with 11% trips on buses and BRT.

It can be seen that the peak hour factor is around 10% of the full day trips.

The following figure shows the proportion of trips in the study area originating at
different timeperiods across the day. It is observed that, the time of the day journey has
two peaks, morning is from 8:30am to 11:30am and evening is from 5:30pm to 8:30pm.
For the purpose of transit facilities and infrastructure design, it is desirable to look at
the peak hour traffic, therefore travel demand model has been developed for the
morning peak hour (8:30 am to 11:30 am).

2.3.7 Travel Pattern
The figure below shows that Ahmedabad traffic is concentrated in the walled city,
eastern part of the city and across the river bridges. Bicycle movements are shorter and
largely concentrated in and around North, east and central zones of Ahmedabad. Auto
trips are largely dispersed over the AMC region with shorter trip lengths whereas trips
made by car are largely dispersed with long distances. Trips with use of 4wheeler is
comparatively very low, as sparse red lines are seen in the map. The share of two
wheeler trips is considerably high compared to other modes with shorter distances
resulted in more compact travel movement over AMC.

2.4 MODEL DEVELOPMENT

A standard four stage modeling process has been followed to project travel demand and
metro ridership in future. An overview of the modeling approach is presented in figure
below. This public transport model has been developed using EMME 4.0.8 software.

2.4.1 Modelling framework
The study area defined in chapter 1 has been taken as the modelling area. The zoning
structure has been outlined in previous chapter 1. The modelling area has been
subdivided into 409 internal zones and 9 external zones.

For this exercise, a public transport model has been developed for 3hour morning peak
period based on the temporal analysis carried out in section 2.3.5. The major road
network in the study area along with the existing public transport network of AMTS and
BRTS and proposed networks of metro, AMTS and BRTS has been taken into account for
developing base and future scenarios. For the analysis of travel pattern four trip
purposes Home based Work, Education, Others, Nonhome based, has been taken into
account.

This modelling exercise has been carried out for 2011(Base Year) and future years of
2018, 2021, 2031 and 2043. The following table shows the PT network taken for
different years:
Table 27 PT Network Development Inputs
Year Public Transport Network
2011 Base AMTS network across 549 km, 187 routes
45 km of BRTS network, 5 routes

2021, 7VTCOS routes with improved frequencies
2031 & 19 GSRTC routes with improved frequencies
2043 125 km BRTS network 12 routes
37.7 km of Metro

For each of these years, demand scenarios of Business As Usual, Gradual and Rapid
Scenarios discussed in section 2.3) has been considered for modelling.

The data inputs used for modelling are as below:

2.4.2 Four stage Modelling Process
2.4.2.1 Trip Generation
Trip generation model estimates number of trip productions& trip attractions to each
TAZ. Trip productions are estimated based on household socio economic trip making
characteristics. Trip attractions are estimated from employment & student enrolment of
each TAZ.

Trip Production Model: Trip production model without walk trip for study area are
present in following table. Except NHB trips which are marginal (0.53 % of all trips) and
their estimation may not create significant impact in trip generation model. It shows
strong relation between HBW with resident worker & HBE with resident student in each
TAZ.

HBO Population + Employment 0.75 27.7 0.050x
NHB Employment 0.004 0.74 0.001x

Trip Attraction Model: The model develops for trip attraction variables like working
populations (Employment) & student enrolment in each TAZ. Table shows R2 of HBW &
HBE are between 0.70 to 0.80, which seems to be positive for trip attraction model. HBO
trips have strong relation with population compare to employment. Base on that value
equations are generate for trip attraction model.

2.4.2.2 Trip Distribution Model


Trip distribution model works on gravity model which is based on assumption that trip
interaction between TAZ is directly proportional to relative attractiveness of each zone,
while inversely proportional to some function of spatial separation between the TAZs.
This model was developed for each of the four purposes Home Based Work, Home
Based Education, Home Based Other and Non Home Based trips. The following figure
shows the modelled and actual Trip Length Frequency Distribution (TLFD) for HBW and
HBE trips. Combined Tanners function was used for trip distribution.

It can be seen that the existing mode share ranges between 4050%.

The existing mode share of public transport in Ahmedabad is around 22% which is
much lower than the mode shares in other metropolitan cities listed above. However,
with initiatives like the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS), fleet augmentation through
private sector participation, introducing coordinated route structure between AMTS and
BRTS, establishing automatic fare revision mechanism and development of Metro
system, the mode share of PT is expected to improve. A total network of 115kms of BRT
has been planned for the city, of which around 80kms are already operational. The route
network and structure of the city services are being rationalized to ensure an integrated
public transport network for its users.

With Ahmedabads projected population of around 1.1 Crore in 2043, it is expected to be
bigger than the cities of Bangalore and Hyderabad today.

With insertion of a quality public transit supply, and rising congestion levels on the road,
it seems plausible that significant shift from nontransit users mainly the two wheeler
drivers and autorickshaw passengers will be observed.

2.4.2.3.2 Willingness to Pay and Shift Survey
A Willingness to Pay and Shift survey of 711 PT users and nonusers was carried out to
assess the willingness to shift to public transport, if an integrated public transport
system comprising of metro, BRT and buses was available to them. The responses were
analysed to assess the likely shift to PT from private modes.

Willingness to Pay and Shift of Private Vehicle Users
The following table shows the proportion of private vehicle and paratransit users
willing to shift to public transport based on travel time savings. The sample proportions
were expanded against the total trips, and around 54% willingness to shift to public
transport was observed.

Those 324 users were presented with another set of questions for willingness to pay for
integrated public transport (Metro, BRTS & Bus) system. The users were asked at what
cost levels they would shift to PT. Options included same Vehicle Operating Costs (VoC),
up to 1.25 times the VOC, up to 1.5 times the cost and no shift (which implies shift only if
travel costs are lower than the existing VoC levels. The responses are compiled in the
table below.

To further assess, how many of these are likely to experience cost savings, travel costs
for public transport and private modes were compared for the year 2018, VoC can be
seen from the table below that PT costs are lower than car and auto costs and almost
similar to the two wheeler costs.

***Assuming 5% inflation rate every year.

Based on this, it can be depicted that all car and auto passengers are likely to shift to PT
as the PT costs are much lower. However, for twowheeler users, around 19% (ref. Table
214) of the users would not be willing to shift as the two wheeler costs are similar to
the PT cost and not lower. Taking a weighted average of different passengers by modes,
around 15% (ref. Table 214) of the willing users are not likely to shift based on the cost
consideration. Thus, if we combine the 54% shift of passenger based on travel time and
85% of them shifting on the bases of cost considerations, we would have 45% of the
private vehicle trips shifting to PT.

Further, existing mode share of private vehicles is 78% and with 45% shift to PT,
therefore 35% of PT mode share will come from private vehicles.

2.4.2.3.3 Assessment of Captive Public Transport Users
The existing public transport mode share in the city is 22%. In order to assess if the PT
mode share may change in future, socioeconomic characteristics of the PT users were
analyzed. For assessing captive users for PT, income levels and private vehicle
ownership of the households were considered from 2012 household survey. Income
levels of up to Rs.50000 per month and vehicle ownership of up to 0.5 two wheeler per
driving member of HH, were assumed to be captive.

Based on the Table 216, can be seen that:
1. 17.92% households (HH) of PT users dont own any motorized vehicles.
2. 15.90% HH of PT users own only cycle.
3. 27.38% HH of PT users own less or equal to 0.25 two wheeler per driving member of
HH.
4. 26.71% HH of PT users own less or equal to 0.5 two wheeler per driving member of
HH.

Highlighted cells in table below, adding up about 82% of users who can be considered as
captive PT users. Estimated captive PT users in overall existing PT share will be 18% i.e.
82% of existing 22% of PT share.

2.4.2.3.4 Estimated PT Mode Share1
The future mode share on PT is being considered as having two components:
Existing PT mode share which will remain captive
Shift of private vehicle trips to PT modes

Based on the analysis presented in section above, at least 18% of the PT mode share is
likely to remain captive while another 35% mode shift from private vehicles towards PT
can be expected based on the Willingness to Pay and Shift Survey. Combining these two,
we have 53% as estimated PT share which can be realised, once an integrated quality
public transport is put in place.

2.4.2.4 Transit Assignment
Transit assignment is the final stage of the four stage modeling process. Base transit
demand (internal & external) is about 3.2 lakhs of three hours morning peak (11.12
lakhs per day). The share of the PT trips is 25% in motorized trips. The total PT demand
was assigned on the existing public transport network consisting of BRTS, AMTS, VTCOS
and GSRTC modes.

2.4.3 Network and demand development

2.4.3.1 Base Transit Network Development
A base year network has been developed in GIS which has been ARC GIS and the
modelling process has been carried out in travel demand modeling software i.e. EMME
4.0.8.

In 2011 base year, 45 km BRTS network was in operation; and about 187 AMTS & 9
VTCOS routes were plying as city bus services. Other than these, GSRTC were operating

2.4.3.4 Future Alternative Development
The land use scenarios for the study area are discussed in above section. Three growth
alternatives have been considered Business As Usual, Moderate and Rapid Scenarios.
The BAU scenario is expected to have development in vacant areas outside the current
development areas and focus on development along metro is assumed to happen once
the project has been completely realised. Therefore, the rate of development along the
metro corridor would happen at a much slower pace and will be realised at a much later
time period. The other two scenarios are more proactive scenarios, where growth along
the metro corridors will be facilitated leading to transit oriented development. The rate
of this development is much higher in Rapid Scenario than the Moderate Scenario.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 23/154



CHAPTER 2 TRAFFIC DEMAND FORECAST

Further it is expected that shift to public transport system will happen as the metro
corridors are implemented. Based on the WTS survey, a maximum shift of 50% to PT is
assumed by the year 2043. However, different buildup trajectories are assumed for the
different growth scenarios. In case of Moderate scenario, two shift options are being
considered, the first one focusing on shift to PT from across the city while the second
one assuming higher shift from catchment zones along the corridor.

The table below shows the demand scenarios for modelling:

It is envisaged that introduction of metro would also yield significant benefits in terms
of reduction of private vehicles on road. It is estimated that by the year 2043, metro
would result in reduction of private vehicles by 46%. At the same time, significant
savings in vehiclekms is also expected.

CHAPTER 2 TRAFFIC DEMAND FORECAST

2.4.3.4.1 Bases for 2018 PT shares assumptions



The PT mode share amongst motorized trips for the Rapid Scenario has been based on
the earlier PT mode share trend. The PT mode share in Ahmedabad has been varying
over the past 10 years. The highest mode share for PT was observed in 2008/9, when it
was 25%. Subsequently, decline in the PT share was observed owing to poor bus supply
levels. The downward trend of PT share has continued since with the share dropping to
22% currently.

Figure 210 PT share trend

The mode shares for the year 2018 has thus been based on the PT mode share trend.
While the BAU assumes that the decline will continue till the metro operations start in
2018, the Moderate Scenario considers that with proactive supply measures, we would
be able to arrest the decline and PT mode share would remain at 22% by 2018, same as
in the base year.

For the Rapid Scenario, considering proactive measures being initiated by GOG and AMC
to promote PT, the city will be able to recover the lost ground in three years to achieve a
high share of 25% PT, which it had in the year 2009. This translates to around 1
percentage point increase every year.



DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 25/154



CHAPTER 2 TRAFFIC DEMAND FORECAST

Here our assumptions are that:


- The share remain stable at 22% with Moderate scenario (i.e. arrest the downward
trend),
- Downward trend continues and the share declines to 19% from 22% in case of BAU and
- Reversal of trend to recover the lost ground to reach 25% as Rapid Growth scenario (i.e.
an increase by 3 percentage points in 3 years). Arresting the downward trend and
recover the lost share of PT by 3 percentage points, we believe needs significant effort
on the part of the city government.

2.4.4 Calibration for Public Transport Assignment Model

2.4.4.1 Mode wise ridership

Mode wise ridership was taken as the overall calibration parameter for the model.
Model has four types of public transport services, i.e. BRTS, AMTS, GSRTC between
GandhinagarAhmedabad & VTCOS (pvt.) for Gandhinagar. Following is the study area
public transport basic details for the base year,

2.4.4.3 Boardings on BRT at major stops
The model was also calibrated based on the boardings at some of the major public
transport stops. Since AMTS does not have automated ticketing system, this information
was not available for bus services. However, for BRT system, using stop wise boarding
data, model outputs were compared at 4 major interchange nodes:

Chapter 2 - Traffic Demand Forecast

2.7 BACKGROUND

Ahmedabad is private vehicles base city which has about 78% trips made by private
modes from the total motorized trips in 2011 as per the household survey data sets.
Trends show the increase in motorized vehicles leads to traffic congestion and increase
in travel time. Therefore, travel Demand model has been prepared to assess the
motorized traffic in the whole study area. Further it has also testing the future traffic
flow within the study area by developing the alternative scenarios based on the
calibrated base year model and mode share assumption to see the impact on VKT, VHT
and traffic congestion.

The strategic travel demand model has been developed for the whole Ahmedabad
Gandhinagar region with urban outgrowth areas considering the base year as 2011. The
study area comprises of about 1146.41 sqkm; which further divided into 409 internal
zones and 9 external zones between the modelled areas. Base year road network and
trip matrix has been prepared based on data available as discussed in vol-I. Section
1.3.3. Since base year model needs to be precise in terms of current traffic situation, as
forecasting of future year model depends on the base model. Hence the base year model
is essential to calibrate and validate with respect to the current travel pattern and traffic
flow.

The report also assesses the impact of private motorized vehicle on the road network
for future years. Future year road network were taken from IMP project done by CoE-
UT. In future, alternative scenarios have been tested by assessing the city with metro
system and without metro system to see the effect on savings in Vehicle Kilometers
Travelled (VKT) and Vehicle Hours Travelled (VHT) per day.

2.7.1 Scenario Building


Transportation model is developed to understand the traffic forecast and to validate the
future proposals. These models are developed on a GIS enabled transportation network
using state-of-art software such as EMME/4.0.8 and ARC GIS. A traditional four stage
modelling process was adopted to examine travel demand and network analysis.

For analysis of traffic demand, A.M. peak period (8.30 to 11.30) was developed. Model is
2018, 2021 and 2031. To predict the future study area with metro and without metro
scenarios and see their impact on road network in terms of network capacity,
congestion, VKT and VHT. Two alternative growth scenarios has been forecasted for
future years; they are as follows,

2.7.1.1 Do nothing scenarios: the City without Metro


The scenario has been predicted that if there would be no metro in city then the city
would grow randomly. In this case, Public transport share assumed to be constant in all
the future projected years same as in the base year rather than declining i.e. 22% public
transport share in motorized trips. It has assumed that in absence of the metro, the citys
PT system would include 125kms of BRT (89 kms operational now plus additional 35
kms in Phase 3 to be implemented) and the traditional bus system. The bus system is
envisaged to be further strengthened with rationalized routes acting as feeder to the
BRT, rather than competing with it. Further improvement in service levels with better
coverage and frequencies is also proposed along with introduction on fare integration.
With these interventions, it is envisaged that the PT ridership in absolute numbers
would increase over the years to maintain a steady PT mode share of 22%.

Chapter 2 - Traffic Demand Forecast

2.7.1.2 Do something scenarios: the City with Metro


Here, the moderate growth development strategy for the future years has been
considered which is discussed in volume-I, section 2.3. Population forecast. Whereas, the
public transport share assumed for all forecasted year in moderate growth alternatives
is considered same as discussed in volume-I Section 3.5.3.4;

Future year road network has been taken from the Integrated Mobility Plan (IMP)
report prepared by CoE- UT. As due to the time constraint, the road network assumed
were same for two alternative scenarios and for all future years i.e. 2018, 2021, 2031
and 2043.

The demand matrices have been developed for four different purposes for all motorized
modes. Trips by walk is excluded from the modelling, as they are mainly intra zonal trips
and shorter in length.

Table 2-26 Stratification of Travel Demand


Trip Purposes Motorized Modes
Two wheeler
Home Based Work Office (HBWF) Four wheeler
Home Based Work Education (HBE) Auto rickshaw
Home Based Other (HBWO) Public Transport
Non-home Based Trips (NHB) Others (private bus, trucks,
etc)

2.8 FOUR STAGE MODELLING PROCESS

2.8.1 Trip generation

Trip generation model estimates number of trip productions & trip attractions to each
TAZ. Trip productions are estimated based on household socio economic trip making
characteristics. Trip attractions are estimated from employment & student enrolment of
each TAZ. The variables used are zonal aggregations of the household variables.

Trip Production Model: Trip production model without walk trip for study area are
present in following table. Except NHB trips which are marginal (0.53% of all trips) and
their estimation may not create significant impact in trip generation model. It shows
strong relation between HBW with resident worker & HBE with resident student in each
TAZ.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 131/154


Chapter 2 - Traffic Demand Forecast

Trip Attraction Model: The model develops for trip attraction variables like working
populations (Employment) & student enrolment in each TAZ. Table shows R2 of HBW &
HBE are between 0.70 to 0.80; which seems to be positive for trip attraction model.
HBO trips have strong relation with population compare to employment. Base on that
value equations are generate for trip attraction model.

HBO Population + Employment 0.573 16.15 0.037x
NHB Population + Employment 0.083 3.512 .005x

Trip production and attraction for without metro scenarios was estimated for future
year 2018 and 2043 assuming that distribution of population and employment will be
same across the study area. Whereas with metro scenarios same values for production
and attraction were considered as discussed in Vol.1 section 3.5.2.1 Trip Generation. As
per the development plan, higher FAR has been proposed along the metro corridor. As a
result of which trip production and attraction is different in with metro and without
metro scenarios.

2.8.2 Trip distribution


Gravity model is commonly used for Trip distribution model which is based on
assumption that trip interaction between TAZ is directly proportional to relative
attractiveness of each zone, while inversely proportionate to some function of spatial
separation between the TAZs. This model was developed for each of the four purposes -
Home Based Work, Home Based Education, Home Based Other and Non Home Based
trips. The following figure shows the modelled and actual Trip Length Frequency
Distribution (TLFD) for all the four purposes trips. Combined Function (Ortuzar and
Williomson) was used for trip distribution as shown below,

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 132/154


Chapter 2 - Traffic Demand Forecast

Gravity function:
Tij = k. Pi.Aj / f(cij)

Where, Tij is the trips between zone i to zone j


K is a constant, which we have taken as 1
Pi is the future trip production from zone i
Aj is the future trip attraction from zone j
f(cij) is the deterrence function

In our case, the deterrence function f(cij) is


f(cij) = cijn exp (-Cij)
Cij is the cost based on distance

2.8.3 Mode split

Base year mode split for private vehicles are as shown in table beside, more than 60%
trips are on two wheeler followed by three wheeler and private buses i.e. 14% each.
Four wheeler share is quite low as 9%.

2.8.3.1 Future mode split

As discussed above, two alternative scenarios have been predicted for future years. For
the do nothing scenario the trip matrix has been prepared by estimating production and
attraction within the study area for year 2018 and 2043, whereas as travel demand for
intermediate years i.e. 2021 and 2031 has been interpolated. In case of does something
scenario, the trip matrices has been prepared based on mode split assumed in table no.
10. Individual mode wise matrices have been prepared for traffic assignments.

As discussed in volume-I, section 3.5.2.3, Mode split; public transport share assumed
were based on the metropolitan cities of India, and willingness to shift - pay survey in
the city. Same case studies were used to estimate the private mode share for the
modelling area.

The ratio of private mode share in Ahmedabad in 2011-12 between two wheeler and
four wheeler is 87:13. In order to assess how this ratio is likely to change in future,
mode share trend in metropolitan cities of Bangalore and Hyderabad were examined. In
case of Hyderabad, over the last decade the ratio of 2W:4W trips changed from 93:7 in
2002 to 57:43 in 2011. Similarly, in case of Bangalore the ratio changed from 86:14 to
67:33. Distribution of two wheeler and our wheeler is interpolated for 2018, 2021 &
2031 are as below,

Four wh. 13% 19% 21% 29% 38% 40%

Using these proportions as the base, for this study the mode share was assumed to be
around 60% and 40% for two wheelers and four wheelers respectively in the target year

Chapter 2 - Traffic Demand Forecast

2043. The share of three wheelers in 2011-12 in Ahmedabad is around 10% which is
similar to cities like Bangalore and Delhi today. It has thus been assumed that this share
will remain constant till the target year

The following table shows the existing mode shares in the metropolitan cities:

Three wheeler (IPT) share has been kept constant about 13% (almost same as base year
2012) of private vehicle mode share for 2018 to 2043. Since the private mode share is
declining, 13% of the private mode share translates to 10%, 9%, 8% and 6% in the years
2018, 2021, 2031 and 2043.

Others mode is the combined volume of private/staff buses, school buses & college
buses which one can consider the public transport mode. The logic behind declining of
Others share is that at present effective PT coverage and their service levels are not that
strong to provide accessibility to some of the peripheral areas of the city for which these
buses run. In future, PT service levels are going to get improved significantly, we believe
these trips will shift on to the integrated PT system. The Other modes share has
therefore been assumed that it would decline by about one-third from 14% to 10% in
2043.

2.8.4 Traffic Assignments

Base year traffic assignments done considering only internal private motorized demand
of the study area. The total demand assigned is about 10.05 lakhs trips of three am peak
hours (34.59 lakhs per day). The share of private modes is 78% in motorized trips in
2011.

2.8.4.1 Base Road Network

The road network considered for the base year is same as discussed in volume-I, section
3.1 Road network. Since for modelling, only three levels of road network were
considered such as arterial, sub- arterial and collected road within the administrative
limit and village road for outer area. Hence total road network length is about 1831 kms
within the study area. Coding of road network such as links, nodes, centroid, connectors
were prepared in ARC GIS software and EMME/4.0.8. Road network classifications were
done based on functional characteristics and hierarchy of road network. The network
attribute details such as free flow speed and network characteristics were compiled
from various existing reports and surveys refer vol. I, section 1.3.3 Data Collection.
Whereas the network capacity were added based on per IRC code 106, 1990. In the
model, major junctions were penalized and turn penalty functions macro was assigned.
Volume delay functions were calculated based on free flow speed and network capacity
as per the individual link categories.

2.8.4.2 Base Demand

As per the household survey data, total trips estimated for private modes for the
modelling area were total 1,005,577 trips for three hours (a.m. peak period). Total mode
share of private motorized trips were about 78% and 22% is of public transport mode
(i.e. AMTS and BRTs). Calibration of Base year model was done for both traffic and
transit modes. Whereas the private modes considered for assignments were two
wheeler, four wheeler, three wheeler, private bus and others. Here for base year,
external traffic were not considered as there were no reliable data sets available.

2.8.5 Calibration and validation

Highway model was calibrated based on two data sets available through surveys; they
are traffic volume (PCU) and travel time (minutes).

a) Travel time (Model versus Actual)

Initially the model was calibrated with respect to time taken on a particular stretch (i.e.
time taken to travel from one point to another). Form the speed delay survey (2012),
travel time, average speed and delays at junction has been obtained on the respective
corridor. Different permutation and combinations was worked out adjusting the turn
penalties at the junction and speeds on the corridor to obtain observed travel time.
Below table and map depicts the comparison table of observed (survey) versus
modelled (adjusted) travel time on the nine corridors.

2.8.6 Future year

2.8.6.1 Road network


Figure 2-25 Future road network proposal
Future year road network proposal
were taken from IMP project. Same Total road network
network was considered for with metro length = 2613 km
and without metro scenarios for future
years. The total road network length
within the study area is 2613km. The
network attributes such as number of
lanes and network capacity were taken
based on proposed functional
characteristics of road network.
Consequently volume delay functions
were applied on all the links and turns
penalties functions were applied on the
major junction.
Source: IMP report
2.9 MODEL OUTPUTS
Future year models were assessed based on the outputs obtained from the transport
modelling software EMME/4; they are as follows:
i. Traffic flow
ii. Vehicle kilometer Travelled (VKT)
iii. Vehicle Hour Travelled (VHT)

2.9.1 Traffic flows


Assignment result for the future years were assessed in terms of distribution pattern of
travel demand within the study area. PT share for No Metro scenario is assumed 22%
for all future scenario. Figure 1-6 illustrate, traffic volume increases rapidly from 2018
to 2043 whereas With Metro scenario it increase with very low pace. These will result in
decrease in VKT, VHT as well as congestion on major corridors.

In a year 2018, with and without metro mode split assumption were same, only
difference was in trip production and attraction distribution within the zones (refer
Table 1-4). As a result, no major changes were observed in traffic flow. Consequently in
year 2021 and 2031 with metro scenarios, it has observed that the growth of traffic
volume on major corridors has been reduced. Whereas in a year 2043, significant
changes had been observed in traffic volume between with and without metro scenarios
as private mode share in without metro scenarios were assumed to be 78% and with
metro scenario it was 47% that has reduce to 31% of private vehicle trips . Therefore
the traffic volume has observed to be less.

CHAPTER 3 SYSTEM SELECTION

Chapter - 3
SYSTEM SELECTION
3.1 OPTIONS FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM

The following systems are mainly available for Urban Mass Transit:

i) High Capacity Metro System: Metro system is a grade separated dedicated system
for high peak hour traffic densities exceeding 40,000 PHPDT. It is characterized by
short distances of stations spaced at 1 km, high acceleration and declaration and
average speeds of 30-35 kmph.

ii) Light Capacity Metro System: This is a dedicated metro rail system for moderate
peak hour traffic densities exceeding 8000 PHPDT.

iii) Light Rail Transit: Modern trams-Street Cars running on Rails at grade or elevated
with sharp curves of 24m radius. These are extremely popular and operating in
large number of European countries. Generally the stations are spaced at 500m to 1
km and have high acceleration and deceleration characteristics. In most of the
countries, they are operating at-grade with prioritized signaling at road inter-
section.

iv) Sky Train: This is an experimental rail based system under development by Konkan
Railway.

v) Other Rail Based Systems: A number of options are available but have not been
introduced in India. Some of these are very briefly mentioned below:

(a) Maglev

This is an advanced Rail based transit system in which Magnetic Levitation is used
to raise the vehicles above the rail surface. Rail wheel interaction is thus avoided
and very high speeds are attainable. Maglev Levitation can either be due to
attractive force or due to repulsive forces.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 1/11


CHAPTER 3 SYSTEM SELECTION

(b) Linear Induction Motor (LIM) Train

This is also an advanced Rail based transit system in which propulsion is through a
Linear Induction Motor whose stator is spread along the track. The rotor is a
magnetic material provided in the under frame of train. In the technology the
tractive force is not transmitted through rail-wheel interaction, and so there is no
limitation on account of adhesion. This technology is most appropriate for turnouts,
as the height of the tunnel can be reduced to lower height of cars.

(c) Monorail

Monorail trains operate on grade separated dedicated corridors with sharp curves
of up to 50m radius. This is a rubber tyred based rolling stock, electrically propelled
on concrete beams known as guide-ways. The system is extremely suitable in
narrow corridors as it requires minimum right of way on existing roads and permits
light and air and is more environmental friendly. This is prevalent in several
countries for traffic densities of over 20,000 PHPDT.

(d) Bus Rapid Transit System

This system involves operation of buses on a dedicated corridor (except of traffic


integration) at a high frequency to achieve PHPDT. For providing a very high
transport capacity say 20,000 PHPDT, about 200 buses shall be required per hour
i.e., at headway of 20 seconds. Such a high PHPDT can be achieved by providing two
lanes of traffic in each direction and elimination of traffic intersection on the route.

(e) Automated Guide way Transit System

The term is used for systems other than conventional rail based system on grade
separated guide ways. The system can be rail based or rubber tire based but fully
automated guided systems with driver less operation.

The salient features of the various Transit Systems are summarized as under:-

@@ Monorail is desirable only as a feeder system or where the narrow roads are
flanked on either side by high rise buildings. In monorail while the cost of
construction, operation and maintenance is almost the same as elevated metro rail,
the carrying capacity is much lesser.

3.2 Selection of a particular mode for any pre-determined traffic corridor depends mainly on
demand level of a corridor, Right of Way (ROW) on the road and the capacity of the mode.
The demand forecast is estimated considering the traffic growth for about 30 years. Other
considerations in mode choice are location of building lines, possibility of increasing ROW.
Cost of some mode may vary depending up on the location in view of engineering
constraints. Therefore final choice of mode to be adopted for a particular corridor is based
on techno economic considerations. As regards the location of a particular mode like at-
grade, elevated and underground depends up on the ROW. If ROW is 20m or more,
elevated alignment is preferred over underground as the cost of underground alignment is
2- 2 times of elevated alignment

3.3 DAILY RIDERSHIP ON AHMEDABAD METRO CORRIDORS IN HORIZON YEARS

Daily ridership on the Ahmedabad metro rail network in 2021 is expected to be 6.69 lakh
passengers. The average trip length will be 6.6kms in year 2021. Corridor wise total daily
ridership for the years 2021, 2031 and 2043 and PHPDT are shown in Table 3.2.

3.5 MODE SELECTION

Road-based transit systems can optimally carry up to a maximum of 8,000 PHPDT. With an
aim of reduction in road traffic and with the PHPDT of more than 8000 assumed on the
above corridors, there can be two options namely 1) Mono Rail and 2) Light Capacity Metro.
Mono rail can carry the PHPDT projected but this technology is not a tested one. The
operation and maintenance cost is much higher that Light metro. The capital cost of Mono
rail is also almost same as that of Light Metro with no experience of Mono rail in India. Even
in the other countries, the Mono rail is being adopted only for small lengths and as feeder to
Metro. Further part of the East West corridor is underground as there is not sufficient ROW
to accommodated elevated transit system and underground monorail is more costlier than
metro rail as it requires larger diameter of tunnel.

Moreover, if metro system is in place by 2018, the daily and peak hourly traffic on various
sections of roads are expected to be reduced considerably. Reduction in v/c ratio due to
metro has been discussed in detail in traffic chapter. It may be seen that with the proposed
metro corridor, the road traffic will be reduced not only on these roads but also in the
surrounding road network in its influence area.

Hence, keeping in view the above points, it is recommended to adopt a stable, tested and
reliable Metro technology i.e. Light Capacity Metro System to cater PHPDT 15000 to
25000.

CHAPTER 4 GEOMETRIC DESIGNING PARAMETERS AND
ALIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

Chapter - 4

GEOMETRIC DESIGNING PARAMETERS AND


ALIGNMENT DESCRIPTION
4.1 GENERAL

This chapter deals with geometrical standards adopted for horizontal and vertical
alignments, route description, etc. The proposed corridors under Ahmedabad Metro Rail
network will consist of Standard Gauge (SG) lines. For underground corridors, track
centres are governed by spacing of tunnels and box design.

The geometrical design norms are based on international practices adopted for similar
metro systems with standard gauge on the assumption that the maximum permissible
operational speed on the section is limited to 80kmph. Planning for any higher speed is
not desirable as the average inter-station distance is about 1.18 km and trains will not
be able to achieve higher speed.

The elevated tracks will be carried on box-shaped elevated decking supported by single
circular piers or oblong piers, generally spaced at 31 m to 34 m centres and located on
the median of the road to extent possible over road. In railway land, the piers are located
touching the eastern boundary as far as possible except in the approaches of station and
at station, where eccentric piers/portals are required to be provided. The horizontal
alignment and vertical alignment are, therefore, dictated to a large extent by the
geometry of the road and ground levels followed by the alignment over road. On railway
land, the horizontal alignment is governed by geometry of proposed BG tracks, railway
land available, ground levels, ROBs crossing the railway tracks and the SOD of double
stack container (as in DFCC western corridor)

The underground tracks will be carried in separate tunnels to be drilled by Tunnel


Boring Machine. Stations will, however, be constructed by cut and cover method except
one station which has been proposed by NATM.

4.2 GEOMETRIC DESIGN PARAMETERS

The design parameters related to the Metro system described herewith have been
worked out based on a detailed evaluation, experience and internationally accepted
practices. Various alternatives were considered for most of these parameters but the
best-suited ones have been adopted for the system as a whole.

4.2.1 Horizontal Alignment


As far as possible, the alignment follows the existing roads. This leads to introduction of
horizontal curves. On consideration of desirable maximum cant of 110 mm and
maximum permissible cant deficiency of 100 mm on Metro tracks, the safe speed on

ALIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

curves of radii of 400 m or more is 80 km/h. On elevated sections minimum radius of


145m has been used at one location having speed potential upto 45 km/h. However in
underground section desirable minimum radius of curve shall be 400 m for ease of
working of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). For maximum permissible speed on curve
with various radii, Table 4.2 may be referred.

4.2.2 Horizontal Curves


Table 4.1
Underground Elevated
Description
Section Section
Desirable Minimum radius 400 m 400 m
Absolute minimum radius 200 m (only cut & cover) 120 m
Minimum curve radius at stations 1000 m 1000 m
Maximum permissible cant (Ca) 125 mm 125 mm
Maximum desirable cant 110 mm 110 mm
Maximum cant deficiency (Cd) 100 mm 100 mm

4.2.3 Transition Curves


It is necessary to provide transition curves at both ends of the circular curves for
smooth riding on the curves and to counteract centrifugal force. Due to change in
gradients at various locations in the corridor, it is necessary to provide frequent vertical
curves along the alignment. In case of ballast less track, it is desirable that the vertical
curves and transition curves of horizontal curves do not overlap. These constraints may
lead to reduced lengths of transition curves at certain locations. The transition curves
have certain minimum parameters:

Length of Transitions of Horizontal curves (m)

Minimum : 0.44 times actual cant or cant deficiency (in mm), whichever is higher.
Desirable : 0.72 times actual cant or cant deficiency, (in mm), whichever is higher.

Overlap between transition curves and vertical curves not allowed.


Minimum straight between two Transition curves (in case of reverse curves): either 25
m or Nil.
Minimum straight between two Transition curves (in case of same flexure curves):
either 25 m or both curves should be converted in to the compound curve by
introducing single transition between the two circulars.
Minimum curve length between two transition curves: 25 m

4.2.4 Vertical Alignment and Track Centre

(a) Elevated Sections


The viaducts carrying the tracks will have a vertical clearance of minimum 5.5 m above
road level. For meeting this requirement with the Box shaped pre-stressed concrete
girders, the minimum rail level will be about 9.8 m above the road level. However, at
stations which are located above central median, the minimum rail level will be 11.8 m
above the road level with concourse at mezzanine. These levels will, however, vary
marginally depending upon where the stations are located. At special continuous span
locations the minimum rail level will be 11. 6m. For N-S alignment passing over railway

CHAPTER 4 GEOMETRIC DESIGNING PARAMETERS AND
ALIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

land, in addition to the above requirement for service road, SOD of double stack
container (as per DFCC western corridor) is also to be followed. A clearance of 5.5 m for
road traffic over proposed road surface for ROB ramp for Shyamaprasad Mukharji ROB
and proposed road surface for Shreyas and Ellis Bridge ROB is to be maintained. The
proposed road surface of these ROBs will be decided based on the SOD for double stack
container movement.

The track centre on the elevated section is kept as 4.2 m uniform throughout the
corridor to standardize the superstructure, except at few locations, wherever scissors
crossovers are planned, it is kept 4.5 meter.

(b) Underground sections


Rail level at midsection in tunnelling portion shall be kept at least 12.0 m below the
ground level. At stations, the desirable depth of rail below ground level is 13.5 m, so that
station concourse can be located above the platforms.

Track centre in underground sections are follows:

Track centre in underground sections are follows:


16.04 m (for lesser width of

Construction of stations
Sections where stations as well as running section

both are to be constructed by cut and cover method

(c) Gradients
Normally the stations shall be on level stretch. In exceptional cases, station may be on a
grade of 0.1 %. Between stations, generally the grades may not be steeper than 3.0 %.
However, where existing road gradients are steeper than 2% or for Switch Over Ramps
gradient up to 4% (compensated) can be provided in short stretches on the main line.

(d) Vertical Curves


Vertical curves are to be provided when change in gradient exceeds 0.4%. However, it is
recommended to provide vertical curves at every change of gradient.

(e) Radius of vertical curves:


On main line (desirable) : 2500 m
(Absolute minimum) : 1500 m
Other Locations : 1500 m
Minimum length of vertical curve : 20 m

4.2.5 Design Speed


The maximum operational speed will be 80 km/h. However, the applied cant, and length
of transition will be decided in relation to normal speeds at various locations, as
determined by simulation studies of alignment, vertical profile and station locations.
Computerized train simulation studies need to be conducted with proposed gradients at

CHAPTER 4 GEOMETRIC DESIGNING PARAMETERS AND
ALIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

4.2.6 Station Locations


Stations have been located so as to serve major passenger destinations and to enable
convenient integration with other modes of transport. However effort has also been
made to propose station locations, such that inter station distances are as uniform as
possible. The average spacing of stations is close to 1.18 km.

4.3 TRACK STRUCTURE

Track on Metro Systems is subjected to intensive usage with very little time for day-to-
day maintenance. Thus it is imperative that the track structure selected for Metro
Systems should be long lasting and should require minimum or no maintenance and at
the same time, ensure highest level of safety, reliability and comfort, with minimum
noise and vibrations. The track structure has been proposed keeping the above
philosophy in view.

Two types of track structures are proposed for the corridors under Ahmedabad Metro
Rail Project network. The normal ballasted track in Depot (except inside the Workshops,
inspection lines and washing plant lines). The ballastless track is recommended on
Viaducts and inside tunnels as the regular cleaning and replacement of ballast at such
locations will not be possible.

For the depots, ballasted track is recommended as ballastless track on formation is not
suitable due to settlement of formations. Ballastless track in depot is required inside the
workshop, on inspection lines and washing plant lines.

From considerations of maintainability, riding comfort and also to contain vibrations


and noise levels, the complete track is proposed to be joint-less and for this purpose
even the turnouts will have to be incorporated in LWR/CWR.

The track will be laid with 1 in 20 canted rails and the wheel profile of Rolling Stock
should be compatible with the rail cant and rail profile.

4.4 RAIL SECTION

Keeping in view the proposed axle load and the practices followed abroad, it is proposed
to adopt UIC-60 (60 kg. /m) rail section. Since on main lines, sharp curves and steep
gradients would be present, the grade of rail on main lines should be 1080 Head
Hardened as per IRS-T-12-2009. As these rails are not manufactured in India at present,
these are to be imported. For the Depot lines, the rails of grade 880 are recommended,
which are available indigenously.

4.5 BALLASTLESS TRACK ON MAIN LINES

On the viaducts, it is proposed to adopt plinth type ballastless track structure with RCC
derailment guards integrated with the plinths. Further, it is proposed to adopt fastening
system complying to performance criteria laid down by Indian Railways on ballastless
track structures, with a base-plate spacing of 60 cm. on viaducts. In the underground
sections, similar track structure with a base plate spacing of 70 cm is proposed on slab
after 1st stage concrete.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail March 2015 5/18


CHAPTER 4 GEOMETRIC DESIGNING PARAMETERS AND
ALIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

4.6 BALLASTLESS/BALLASTED TRACK IN DEPOT

The ballast less/ballasted track in Depot may be of the following types:

Supported on steel pedestal for inspection lines.


Embedded rail type inside the Workshop.
Plinth type for Washing line.
Track is to be laid on PRC sleepers with sleeper spacing of 65 cm. All the rails are to be
converted into rail panels by doing flash butt/Thermit welding.

4.7 TURNOUTS

All turn-outs/crossovers on the main lines and other running lines shall be as under:

Table 4.3 Turn-Outs


Sr. No. Description Turn-out Type
1 Main Line 1 in 9
2 Depot/Yard Lines 1 in 7

4.8 BUFFER STOPS

On main lines and Depot lines, friction buffer stops with mechanical impact absorption
(non-hydraulic type) will be provided. In elevated portion, the spans on which friction
buffer stops are to be installed will be designed for an additional longitudinal force,
which is likely to be transmitted in case of Rolling Stock hits, the friction Buffer Stops.

4.9 RAIL- STRUCTURE INTERACTION

For continuing LWR/CWR on Viaducts, the elevated structures will be adequately


designed for the additional longitudinal forces likely to be transmitted as a result of Rail-
Structure interaction. Rail structure interaction study will determine the need and
locations of Rail Expansion Joints (REJ) required to be provided.

4.10 ROUTE ALIGNMENT

Two Corridors have been identified for implementation in Ahmedabad Metro Rail
Project network (Phase 1).

Easting. However ground elevations are with respect to GTS bench mark of survey of
India.

(c) Directions
Direction from Thaltej to Vastral has been named as Down line and up line is converse
of it.

4.11.2 Description of the Route Alignment of the Corridor


This corridor originates from Thaltej leads eastward and crosses Sarkhej Gandhinagar
Road (NH8C) at km 1.15 and aligns along the median of Drive-in Road and runs along it
up to commerce six road junction. Hereafter it moves further along the centre line of the
road up to stadium road crossing; it turns right and aligns along the stadium road and
follows it, hereafter it further turns left; crosses railway lines and Ashram Road and
reaches Sabarmati River front. It crosses Sabarmati River between km7.020 and km
7.365. After crossing Sabarmati river alignment movers further eastward and attains
underground position. First Switch over Ramp has been provided from km 7.405 to
km7.640.

After attaining underground position alignment runs under the Kasturba Gandhi Road.
First underground station Shahpur has been proposed under Kasturba Gandhi Marg.
Beyond Shahpur station it turns towards south and under old court premise another
underground station named Relief road has been proposed by NATM. Hence forth
alignment turns left and through a reverse curve it aligns along the relief road and
passes under it. Further it moves eastward and crosses railway tracks in underground
position; it turns right once again and moves south ward up to new Cotton mill; here it
turns left; emerges out from underground position to elevated position; switch over
ramp has been planned in New Cotton mill area; alignment in New Cotton Mill area is
planned off the road. It moves further eastward to Vastral gam; beyond New Cotton Mill
Area it has been placed in the middle of the road.

underground position. Construction will be done by TBM.

(b) Delhi Gate


Alignment passes by the side of Delhi Gate and its distance Delhi Gate is 248m
Alignment in this area also is underground and construction is proposed by TBM in this
stretch.

(c) Qutubudin Shah's Mosque


Alignment passes by the side of Kazi Qutubudin Shah's Mosque at the distance of 119m
in underground position. Construction will be done by TBM.

(d) Rani Rupavati's Mosque


Alignment passes by the side of Rani Rupavati's Mosque at the distance of 193m in
underground position. Construction will be done by TBM.

position. Construction will be done by TBM.

(f) Brick Minar


Alignment passes by the side of brick Minar the distance of 197m in underground
position. Construction will be done by TBM.

4.11.6 Alignment- Underground Verses Elevated


Construction cost of underground metro line is almost two to three times of that
elevated one. Therefore efforts have made to keep alignment elevated as far as it is
technically possible. However there is a stretch along the corridor which is underground
due to inadequate road width, heavily built-up area and crossing of railway yard. The
underground stretch is from km 7.640 to km 13.780.

4.11.7 Stations integrating with different modes of Transport


While deciding station locations efforts have been made to make integration of metro
system with other mode of transport such as existing BRTS and railways as far as
possible. The details of stations which will have integration with other mode of
transport are given in the Table 4.6.

(c) Gradient
Change of grade takes place at 55 locations along this corridor. Flattest grade is level
which has been provided at the stations and steepest grade on the route is 3.9% which
has been provided on ramp. While designing the vertical alignment efforts have been
made to place stations on higher altitude than the running section to get benefit of
gravitational force for the acceleration and retardation of the trains. Average depth of
underground station has been kept in the range of 14.5m and average height of elevated
stations is in the rage of 11.8m. A statement showing details of gradients provide along
the corridor is given in the following Table 4.8.

which has been provided at the stations. Steepest gradient on the route is 3.0%. While
designing the vertical alignment efforts have been made to place stations on higher
altitude than the running section to get benefit of gravitational force for the acceleration

CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

Chapter - 5
CIVIL ENGINEERING

5.1 GENERAL

This chapter deals with civil underground and elevated structure, Geotechnical
investigation, construction methods, land requirements, Utility services and Traffic
diversion during construction etc.

5.2 CIVIL STRUCTURES

5.2.1 Underground Construction


The most of the underground section passing under the road, cut and cover method of the
underground construction easily can be employed for the construction of the underground
sections. However keeping in view obstruction of traffic movement and inconvenience to the
general public; during the construction as an open cut around 10.00m wide required to be
cut through entire length of underground section it is proposed to tunnel through Tunnel
Boring Machine (TBM) or New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) in the overburden soil
mass. This will reduce substantially inconvenience to general public during construction.
Tunnel excavation for a major part of this underground section is expected to be carried out
by Tunnel Boring Machines. There is some smaller section along the underground part of the
alignment where Cut & Cover method has been considered for construction after Switch
Over Ramp (SOR). Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) capable of drilling in soft soil with a
finished internal diameter of 5.2 m. can be successfully employed for boring tunnels through
this stratum. The tunnels are proposed with a minimum soil cover of 6.0m.

5.2.2 Underground Stations


Total 4 underground stations have been proposed out of which 3 will be constructed by cut
and cover with top-down method and 1 by NATM with through tunnels TBM. The diaphragm
walls for such station constructions would be 80 to 100 cm. thick and will function as a
permanent side wall of the station. It is, therefore, necessary to construct the diaphragm
walls absolutely watertight and with the required concrete strength as has been done in the
Delhi Metro station constructions. By resorting to top-down method the surface could be
restored quickly and further excavations and construction of the station will not hamper the
surface activity.

5.2.3 Cut and Cover Method of Construction of Underground Stations


Cut and Cover mainly consists of following steps:

1. Diversion of utilities

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 1/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

2. Construction of support walls


3. Excavation between the support walls along with the installation of struts between
the two walls to keep them in position.
4. Construction of tunnel/structure and removal of temporary struts. 5. Back filling and
restoration of the surface

5.2.4 Utility Diversion:


It is suggested that all utilities falling within excavation area are diverted away in advance to
avoid damage to such utilities during the excavation/ construction phase. The cross utilities,
however has to be kept supported. It is suggested that pressure water pipelines crossing the
proposed cut area are provided with valves on both sides of the cut so that the cut area can
be isolated in case of any leakage to the pipeline to avoid flooding of the cut/damage to the
works.

5.2.5 Support Walls:


Most commonly used support wall is RCC Diaphragm Wall. The advantage of diaphragm wall
is that the same can be used as part of permanent structure. The modern techniques are
now available where water-stop can be inserted at the joints of two diaphragm wall panels
to avoid seepage through the joints. It is also now possible to ensure the verticality of the
diaphragm wall panels to avoid any infringement problem later on. Typically the diaphragm
wall of 80 cm to 1 meter thickness is sufficient to do the cut and cover construction. The
various advantages of diaphragm wall are as follows.

It is rigid type of support system and therefore ensures the maximum safety against
settlement to the adjacent structures.
Can be used as part of the permanent structure and, therefore, considered economical. With
diaphragm wall it is possible to construct an underground structure by top down method. In
this method top slab is cast once the excavation is reached to the top slab level with rigid
connections to the diaphragm wall which can be achieved by leaving couplers in the
diaphragm wall reinforcement at appropriate level. This top slab then acts as strut between
the two support walls and gives much more rigidity and safety to the construction.
Excavation thereafter can be completed. This also helps in restoration of the surface faster
without waiting for full structure to be completed.
The other support walls which can be used depending on the site conditions are as follows:

(a) Sheet Piles : Z/ U sheet piles can be used as temporary support wall. This can be
advantageous where it is possible to re-use the sheet pile again and again and therefore,
economy can be achieved. However the main concern remains, driving of sheet piles
causes vibrations/noise to the adjacent buildings. This may sometimes lead to damage
to the building and most of the time causes inconvenience to the occupants of the
building. Situation becomes more critical if sensitive buildings are adjacent to the
alignment like hospitals, schools, laboratories, etc. Silent pile driving equipments
however are now available and can be used where such problems are anticipated.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 2/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

(b) Retaining Casing Piles: This is suitable for situation where the cut and cover is to be
done in partly soil and partly rock. The top soil retaining structure can be done with the
help ofCasing pile which is then grouted with cement slurry. This is considered suitable
in case of shallow level, non-uniform, uneven nature of rock head surface which render
the construction of sheet piles/diaphragm wall impracticable. These are suitable up to
7-meter depth. The common diameter used for such casing pile is 2.00-2.50 m dia.

(c) Soldier Piles and Lagging: Steel piles (H Section or I section) are driven into the
ground at suitable interval (normally 1-1.5 m) centre-to-centre depending on the
section and depth of excavation. The gap between two piles is covered with suitable
lagging of timber planks/shot-creting /steel sheets/GI sheets during the process of
excavation.

(d) Secant Piles: are cast-in-situ bored piles constructed contiguously to each other so that
it forms a rigid continuous wall. This is considered an alternative to diaphragm wall
where due to soil conditions it is not advisable to construct diaphragm wall from the
consideration of settlement during the trenching operation. 800 to 1000 mm dia piles
are commonly used. Two alternate soft piles are driven and cast in such a way that the
new pile partly cuts into earlier constructed piles. This new pile is constructed with
suitable reinforcement. With this, alternate soft and hard pile is constructed. This has
got all the advantages of diaphragm wall. However, this wall cannot be used as part of
permanent structure and permanent structure has to be constructed in- side of this
temporary wall.

5.2.6 Anchors:
As an alternative to the struts, soil/rock anchors can be used to keep these support walls in
position. This gives additional advantage as clear space is available between two support
walls and progress of excavation & construction is much faster as compared to the case
where large number of struts is provided which create hindrance to the movement of
equipments and material & thus affects the progress adversely.

The combination of all the type of retaining walls, struts/anchors may be necessary for the
project to suit the particular site. Based on the above broad principle, the support walls
system for cut and cover shall be chosen for particular locations.

5.2.7 Elevated Section - Choice of Superstructure


The choice of superstructure has to be made keeping in view the ease of constructability and
the maximum standardization of the formwork for a wide span ranges.

The segmental construction has been chosen mainly due to the following advantages:

Segmental construction is an efficient and economical method for a large range of span
lengths and types of structures. Structures with sharp curves and variable super elevation
can be easily accommodated.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 3/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

Segmental construction permits a reduction of construction time as segments may be


manufactured while substructure work proceeds and assembled rapidly thereafter.
Segmental construction protects the environment as only space required for foundation and
sub-station is required at site. The superstructure is manufactured at a place away from
busy areas and placement of superstructure is done with the system erected from piers at
heights.
Segments are easy to stack in the casting yard/stacking yard in more than one layer, thereby
saving in requirement of space.
It is easier to transport smaller segments by road trailers on city roads.
It is easy to incorporate last minute changes in span configuration if the site situation so
warrants.
Interference to the traffic during construction is significantly reduced.
Segmental construction contributes towards aesthetically pleasing structures and good
finishes.
The overall labor requirement is less than that for conventional methods.
Better quality control is possible in the casting yard.
During construction, the technique shows an exceptionally high record of safety.

5.2.8 Types of Superstructures for Elevated Section


(A) Pre-cast segmental box girder using external unbonded tendons

(B) Pre-cast segmental U-Channel Superstructure with internal pre-stressing.

Comparative advantages/disadvantages of the above two types are given below:

A. Precast Segmental Box Girder using External Unbonded Tendons.


This essentially consists of precast segmental construction with external prestressing and
dry joints and is by far most preferred technique in fast track projects. In such construction
the pre-stressing is placed outside the structural concrete (inside the box section) and
protected with high density polyethylene tubes, which are grouted with special wax or
cement. The match cast joints at the interface of two segments are provided with shear keys
as in traditional segmental construction. However, epoxy is dispensed with because water
tight seal at the segment joints is not required because tendons are laid externally &
protected by special wax or cement.

The main advantages of dry-jointed externally pre-stressed precast segmental construction


can be summarized as follows:-

Simplification of all post-tensioning operations, especially installation of tendons.

Reduction in structural concrete thickness as no space is occupied by the tendons inside the
concrete.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 4/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

Good corrosion protection due to tendons in polyethylene ducts, the grout inspection is
easier and leaks, if any, can be identified during the grouting process.

Simplified segment casting. There is no concern about alignment of tendons. Increased


speed of construction.

The elimination of the epoxy from the match-cast joints reduces costs and increases speed of
construction further.

Replacement of tendons in case of distress is possible and can be done in a safe and
convenient manner.

Facility for inspection and monitoring of tendons during the entire service life of the
structure.

Precast Segmental Box Girder using internal tendon is also in use.

B. Precast Segmental U-Channel Superstructure with Internal Pre-stressing.


The single U type of viaduct structure is also a precast segmental construction with internal
pre-stressing and requires gluing and temporary pre-stressing of segments. The match cast
joints at the interface of two segments are also provided with shear keys. The main
advantages for this type of structural configuration of superstructure are:

1. Built in sound barrier.

2. Built in cable support and system function.

3. Possibility to lower the longitudinal profile by approximately 1m compared to conventional


design.

4. Built in structural elements capable to maintain the trains on the bridge in case of
derailment (a standard barrier design allow this)

5. Built in maintenance and evacuation path on either side of the track.

5.2.9 However, U section has following disadvantages:


(i) Inefficient structure sections

(ii) Requires cross pre-stressing of pier segments

(iii) At X-over locations the girders are to be connected at slab level hence changing of bearing at
later stage becomes very difficult.

(iv) Costlier than Box girder.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 5/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

5.3 CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY

For the elevated sections it is recommended to have pre-cast segmental construction for
super structure for the viaduct. For stations also the superstructure is generally of pre-cast
members. The pre-cast construction will have following advantages:-

Reduction in construction period due to concurrent working for substructure and


superstructure.

For segmental, pre-cast element (of generally 3.0m length), transportation from
construction depot to site is easy and economical.

Minimum inconvenience is caused to the public utilizing the road as the superstructure
launching is carried out through launching girder requiring narrow width of the road.

As the pre-cast elements are cast on production line in a construction depot, very good
quality can be ensured.

The method is environment friendly as no concreting work is carried at site for the
superstructure.

5.4 PRE-CAST CONSTRUCTION

5.4.1 Casting of Segments


For viaducts segmental pre-cast construction requires a casting yard. The construction
depot will have facilities for casting beds, curing and stacking area, batching plant with
storage facilities for aggregates and cement, site testing laboratories, reinforcement steel
yard and fabrication yard etc. An area of about 2.5 Ha.To 3.0 Ha.is required for each
construction depot.

For casting of segments both long line and short line method can be adopted. However the
long line method is more suitable for spans curved in plan while short line method is good
for straight spans. A high degree of accuracy is required for setting out the curves on long
line method for which pre calculation of offsets is necessary. Match casting of segments is
required in either method. The cast segments are cured on the bed as well as in stacking
yard. Ends of the segments are to be made rough through sand blasting so that gluing of
segments can be effective.

The cast segment will be transported on trailers and launched in position through launching
girders.

5.4.2 Launching Scheme


Launching girder is specially designed for launching of segments. The suggested launching
scheme is designed in such a way that initially the launching girder is erected on pier head at
one end of the work. The segments are lifted in sequence and when the lifting is over, they

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 6/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

are dry matched while hanging from the launching girder. After dry matching, the Segments
are glued with epoxy and pre-stressed from one end. The girder is lowered on the
temporary / permanent bearings after pre-stressing. The launching girder then moves over
the launched span to next span and the sequences continue.

5.5 STRUCTURAL SYSTEM OF VIADUCT

5.5.1 Superstructure
The superstructure of a large part of the viaduct comprises of simply supported spans.
However at major crossing over or along existing bridge, special steel or continuous unit will
be provided.

Normally the Box Girder having a soffit width of about 4.0 m (approx) accommodates the
two tracks situated at 4.2m center to center (c/c). The Box Girder superstructure for almost
all the simply supported standard spans will be constructed by precast pre-stressed
segmental construction with epoxy bonded joints.

The standard spans c/c of piers of simply supported spans constructed by precast segmental
construction technique has been proposed as 31.0m. The usual segments shall be 3.0m in
length except the Diaphragm segments, which shall be 2.0m each. The other spans (c/c of
pier) comprises of 28.0 m, 25.0 m, 22.0 m, 19.0 m & 16.0 m, which shall be made by
removing/adding usual segments of 3.0 m each from the center of the span.

The pier segment will be finalized based on simply supported span of 31.0m and the same
will be also kept for all simply supported standard span.

For major crossing having spans greater than 31.0m, special continuous units normally of 3
span configuration or steel girders have been envisaged.

All these continuous units (in case provided at obligatory location) will be constructed by
cast-in-situ balanced cantilever construction technique.

5.5.2 Substructure
The viaduct superstructure will be supported on single cast-in-place RC pier.The shape of
the pier follows the flow of forces. For the standard spans, the pier gradually widens at the
top to support the bearing under the box webs.At this preliminary design stage, the size of
pier is found to be limited to 1.8m to 2.0 m diameter of circular shape for most of its height
so that it occupies the minimum space at ground level where the alignment often follows the
central verge of existing roads.

To prevent the direct collision of vehicle to pier, a Jersey Shaped crash barrier of 1.0 m
height above existing road level has been provided all around the pier. A gap of 25 mm has
also been provided in between the crash barrier and outer face of pier. The shape of upper
part of pier has been so dimensioned that a required clearance of 5.5 m is always available

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 7/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

on road side beyond vertical plane drawn on outer face of crash barrier. In such a situation,
the minimum height of rail above the existing road is 10.2 m.

The longitudinal center to center spacing of elastomeric/pot bearing over a pier would be
about 1.8 m. The space between the elastomeric bearings will be utilized for placing the
lifting jack required for the replacement of elastomeric bearing. An outward slope of 1:200
will be provided at pier top for the drainage due to spilling of rainwater, if any.

The transverse spacing between bearings would be 3.2 m (to be studied in more details).

The orientation and dimensions of the piers for the continuous units or steel girder (simply
supported span) have to be carefully selected to ensure minimum occupation at ground
level traffic. Since the vertical and horizontal loads will vary from pier to pier, this will be
catered to by selecting the appropriate structural dimensions.

5.5.3 Foundation Recommendation


Deep Foundations, in the form of Bored Cast In-situ piles are recommended wherever heavy
load transfer from the super structures are expected and availability of dense competent
strata is at deeper depths. Bored cast in-situ pile foundations have been recommended
keeping in consideration site constraints for deep excavations in the vicinity of built up
structures. Pile foundations have been recommended for the foundations as per the stratum
encountered. Hence, pile foundations with varying pile depths depending on soil
characteristic have to be provided on a case-by-case basis.

5.5.4 Deck Simple Spans


Salient features of the precast segmental construction method technique as envisaged for
the project under consideration are indicated below:

The superstructure shall be constructed span by span sequentially, starting at one end of a
continuous stretch and finishing at the other end. Nos. of launching girders may be required
so as to work on different stretches simultaneously to enable completion of the project in
time.

The number of breaks in the stretch can be identified by Nos. of continuous units &
stations.

The suggested method of erection will be detailed in drawings to be prepared, at the time of
detailed design. The launching girder (or, more accurately, the assembly truss) is capable
of supporting the entire dead load of one span and transferring it to the top of the pier. The
governing weight of the segments will be of the order of 50t (to be finalized). The launching
girder envisaged will be slightly longer than two span lengths. It must be able to negotiate
curves in conjunction with temporary brackets.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 8/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

Transportation of segments from casting yard to the point of erection will be effected by
appropriately designed low-bedded trailers (tyre-mounted). The segments can be lifted and
erected using erection portal gantry moving on launching girder.

Box girder segments shall be match cast at the casting yard before being transported to
location and erected in position. Post-tensioned cables shall be threaded in-situ and
tensioned from one end. It is emphasized that for precast segmental construction only
oneend pre-stressing shall be used.

The pre-stressing steel and pre-stressing system steel accessories shall be subjected to an
acceptance test prior to their actual use on the works. The tests for the system shall be as
per FIP Recommendations as stipulated in the special specifications. Only multi-strand jacks
shall be used for tensioning of cables. Direct and indirect force measurement device (e.g.
Pressure Gauge) shall be attached in consultation with system manufacturer.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the proper handling, lifting, storing, transporting and
erection of all segments so that they may be placed in the structure without damage.
Segments shall be maintained in an upright position at all times and shall be stored, lifted
and/or moved in a manner to prevent torsion and other undue stress. Members shall be
lifted, hoisted or stored with lifting devices approved on the shop drawings.

5.5.5 Epoxy Bonded Joints and Shear Keys


A minimum compressive stress of 3 kg/sq cm shall be provided uniformly over the
crosssection for the closure stress on the epoxied joint until the epoxy has set. The curing
period for application of the compressive stress, method of mixing and application of epoxy
and all related aspects including surface preparation shall be as per approved
manufacturers specifications.

The purpose of the epoxy joint, which is about 1mm on each mating surface, shall be to serve
as lubricant during segment positioning, to provide waterproofing of the joints for durability
in service conditions and to provide a seal to avoid cross-over of grout during grouting of
one cable into other ducts.

The epoxy shall be special purpose and meet requirements of relevant provision of FIP
(International Federation of Pre-stressed Concrete)

The temporary compressive stress during the curing period shall be applied by approved
external temporary bar pre-stressing (such as Macalloy or Diwidag bar systems or approved
equivalent).

5.6 CONSTRUCTION OF STATIONS

It is proposed to construct the elevated stations with elevated concourse over the road or
Railway Line at most of the locations to minimize land acquisition. To keep the Metro rail

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 9/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

level low, it is proposed not to take viaduct through the stations in the Railway area. Thus a
separate structural configuration is required (although this may necessitate the break in the
launching operations at each station location). However, for Stations over road, viaduct may
be kept separate passing through the Metro stations.For most of the Stations over road,
attempt will be made to provide single viaduct column in the station area, which will be
located on the median and supporting the concourse girders by a cantilever arm so as to
eliminate the columns on right of way.

Sub-structure for the station portion will also be similar to that of viaduct and will be carried
out in the same manner.

5.6.1 Grade of Concrete


It is proposed to carry out construction work with design mix concrete through
computerized automatic Batching Plants with following grade of concrete for various
members as per design requirement/durability considerations.

i) Piles - M -35
ii) Pile cap and open foundation - M -35
iii) Piers - M -40
iv) All precast element for viaduct and station - M -45
v) Cantilever piers and portals - M -45
- M -60
vi) Other miscellaneous structure - M -30

For all the main structures, permeability test on concrete sample is recommended to ensure
impermeable concrete.

5.6.2 Reinforcement and pre-stressed Steel


It is proposed to use HYSD 500 or TMT steel as reinforcement bars.

For pre-stressing work, low relaxation high tensile steel strands with the configuration 12 K
15 and or 19 K 15 is recommended (confirming to IS:14268).

5.6.3 Road width required during construction


As most of the construction is to be carried out on the middle of the road, central two lanes
including median will be required for construction activities. During piling and open
foundation work, a width of about 9 m will be required for construction and the same will be
barricaded. It is proposed that two lanes are provided for traffic on either side during
construction by widening of roads, if necessary. In certain cases, one way traffic may be
resorted to.

All these actions will require a minimum period of about 4 to 6 months. During this period,
the implementing agency can go ahead with the following preliminary works:

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 10/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

i) Preliminary action for diversion of utility and preparation of estimates thereof.

ii) Reservation of land along the corridor, identification and survey for acquisition.

The SPV for the implementation of MEGA rail project has to take action for appointment of
consultant for Project Management and proof checking including preparation of tender
documents. Simultaneously, action is also to be taken for detailed design for structures for
elevated & underground corridor.

5.6.4 Special features of construction in Railway Area


As about 8.5 km of construction is to be carried out on Railway Land, special precautions
have to be taken. At the start of construction activity in Railway Area, it is planned to have
passenger service terminated at Sarkhej Station of MG Track and provide bus connection for
Railway passengers to come to Vastrapur and Gandhinagar, which is at present the Terminal
Station for Passenger Service on MG Track. The portion of MG track from Sarkhej to
Sabarmati will be used for moving one passenger rake every day during non-working hours
for maintenance at Sabarmati yard. During working hours, construction activity of MEGA
and preparatory work for Gauge conversion by RVNL will be carried out with the approval
of the Railway. Day to day coordination will have to be maintained with RVNL for smooth
execution of work. When MEGA construction activity is in full swing, night working may also
be required to be done and special precaution for safety as per Railway Rules and other
safety norms shall have to be taken. Since train movement at restricted speed will be taking
place, adequate precaution while digging trench for foundation work, underground water
tank etc. shall have to be taken. Movement of construction equipment may take place over
existing service road wherever available but in the portion where service road is not
available on the side of the railway land, and for reaching the construction site, construction
equipment will have to be taken on railway land. Although this movement will generally be
taking place during the time when there is no movement of passenger rake, nothing will be
left at site which will infringe the schedule of dimensions during the movement of passenger
rake. Any barricading in Railway land shall require the approval of the Railway. During
piling and open foundation work near the service road, a minimum width on service road
will be required for construction and the same will be barricaded on the service road side. It
is proposed to keep the road traffic moving on the service roads during construction.
However, on certain occasions, such as construction of Station Structure, some portion of
the service road may be required to be blocked for certain period. Traffic Diversion plan will
have to be made to cater to such situations.

It is planned by RVNL to block the Railway traffic completely after their preparatory work is
over by January 2017. After that, full railway land will be available to both MEGA and RVNL
for construction activity. Again coordination with RVNL will have to be maintained on day to
day basis for smooth execution of work.

5.7 GEO-TECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS

5.7.1 Physiography
Ahmedabad is the largest city in the state of Gujarat. It is located in Western India on the
banks of the River Sabarmati, 32 km from the state capital Gandhinagar. It is the former
capital of Gujarat and also the financial capital of Gujarat. Ahmedabad is located at 23.030 N
and 72.580 E at an elevation of 53 m. The Sabarmati River frequently dries up in summer,
leaving only small stream of water, however now there is perennial supply of water from
Narmada Canal after Sabarmati River Front Development. Except for the small hills of
Thaltej - Jodhpur Tekra, the city is almost flat. Gandhinagar is the capital of the state of the
Gujarat. Gandhinagar has an average elevation of about 81 m. The city sits on the banks of
the River Sabarmati in North - Central - East of Gujarat.

5.7.2 Geology
The well-known agriculturally rich alluvial basin of Gujarat rises from the estuarine tacts
between Narmada and Tapi rivers, and extends 402 Km Northwards merging into the
deserts plains ofRajasthan and the Rann of Kutch.

The alluvial plains of Gujarat belong to Quaternary group. The project site area is covered
with deep layers of recently placed alluvial sands.

5.7.3 Seismicity
The site is located in Seismic Zone III as per Seismic Zoning map of India. The basic
HorizontalSeismic Co-efficient (Io) is 0.04 and Seismic Zone Factor (Fo) is 0.20

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 12/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

The region of Kutch and Gujarat has been subject to many earthquake in the past.

5.8 OBJECTIVE OF GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION


The main objectives of Geo-Technical Investigation Services are:

To determine the required strength characteristics of the underlying soil/rock strata to


design the foundation of the structure proposed to be constructed at various locations.
To determine the subsurface profile of the underlying strata.

5.9 DETAILS OF BORE HOLES

5.9.1 Investigation Works


Geotechnical investigation work at site was carried out to determine the existing subsoil
strata, proposed type & depth of foundations and safe bearing capacity of foundations
required for the proposed two Metro Corridors along the originally planned routes.
Borehole locations were identified at the ground along with the Client and drilling work was
commenced.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 13/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

5.9.2 Geology of the area


The soil formation in the site is observed to be homogenous in nature, and little variability is
expected. Generally two layer homogeneous sub-soil profile has been noticed in the
boreholes

5.9.3 Boring in Soil and Rock


In soils, boreholes of diameter 100mm to 150mm were drilled with the help of a posthole
auger. Power winch was used to extend the boreholes with the help of Extension rods and
auger, up to the required depth. Any loose soil was carefully removed from the bottom of the
borehole so that the penetration test may be performed on an undisturbed surface of strata.
Water table was recorded in each borehole, if met.
Rock coring was obtained by use of rotary drilling method, because of its ability in detaining
higher quality of rock samples. Rock coring was carried out by using diamond bits and
Tungsten carbide bits. For better core recovery in hard rock like basalt and granites,
diamond bits were used. NX size of bit was used in coring. The drilling operation was
conducted by attaching bits to core barrels through reamer shells. Methodology followed for
boring confirmed IS: 1892-1979 and IS: 6926-1996.

Water was used as the drilling fluid, care was taken to see that water into the hole, be
minimum, consistent with adequate removal of cutting from the hole and proper cooling of
the bit. The rock core samples is preserved and stored as specified in IS: 4078-1980. The
bore logs are as under:-

5.10 FIELD TESTS & LABORATORY TESTS

5.10.1 Standard Penetration Tests


This is a field test to determine penetration resistance of stratum at the test depth. This
was conducted in the boreholes at 1.5 to 3.0 m intervals generally up to refusal or up to
termination depth (at locations where refusal stratum was not encountered) using
procedures described in IS: 2131. In this test, driving bit was replaced by split spoon

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 16/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

sampler (50.8 mm OD and 35 mm ID). Sampler of length 60cm was then driven by dropping
63.5 kg hammer on top of driving collar with free fall of 75 cm. Sampler was first driven
through 15 cm asSeating drive. It was further driven through 30 cm. Number of blows
required to drive the sampler for 30 cm beyond seating drive was termed as Penetration
Resistance, N. Where full penetration of 30cm was not possible (refusal conditions), blows
and corresponding penetration was recorded.

5.10.2 Grain Size Analysis


TheGrain Size Analysis of different samples collected from boreholes were done as per IS:
2720(part IV).

5.10.3 Atterbergs Limits


The liquid limit and plastic limit were conducted as per IS: 2720(part V) on soil samples.

5.10.4 Field Density and Moisture Content


The Undisturbed Soil Samples were tested for field density and moisture content as per IS:
2720(part II).

5.10.5 Specific Gravity


The soil samples were tested for specific gravity as per IS: 2720(part III).

5.10.6 Direct Shear Test


The undisturbed soil samples were tested for direct shear tests.

5.10.7 Chemical Analysis of Soil


Chemical analysis of soil samples were conducted for PH, Sulphates (ppm) and for Chloride
(ppm).

5.10.8 Chemical Analysis of Water


Chemical analysis of soil samples were conducted for PH, Sulphates (ppm) and for Chloride
(ppm).

5.10.9 Rock Test Analysis


Rock samples were collected from the bore holes and tested for water absorption, porosity
and dry density.

5.11 NET ALLOWABLE BEARING PRESSURE

Considering the proposed structure and taking into account the N values, an allowable
settlement of 25 mm has been adopted for evaluating the net allowable bearing capacity,
based on the settlement criterion.

Average shear strength parameters have been used for calculating safe bearing capacity from
shear failure criterion as per IS: 6403-1981 .Lower of the two values obtained from
settlement and shear criteria is used in arriving at net allowable bearing capacity of the soil

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 17/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

5.12 SATTLEMENT CRITERIA: IS-8009 (PART-I) APPROACH

Net allowable bearing pressure is computed by adopting design N value of 50 (conservative


approach) at refusal strata as per IS-8009 (part-I) approach.
In IS: 8009, settlement for 10 t/m2 for various foundation widths varying from 1m to 6m is
available depending on design SPT N values. The net allowable bearing pressure is evaluated
for 25mm allowable settlement.

5.13 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

10 boreholes were drilled along original metro alignment in order to obtain information
about subsurface layers.

The soil formation in the site is observed to be homogenous in nature, and little variability is
expected. Generally two layer homogeneous sub-soil profile has been noticed in the
boreholes as explained briefly in Section 5.0 above.

Ground water table was met in all the boreholes except BH 10 at the time of investigation
mentioned in table . Proper dewatering arrangements are necessary to excavate up to the
footing level below the ground water table.

If the in-situ material is to be used as a backfilling material, it should be compacted to not


less than 97% of the MDD in 300 mm layers.

Based on the sub-soil profile noticed and considering heavy load transfer expected from the
structures, Deep Foundations, in the form of Bored Cast In-situ piles are recommended.

For pile load capacity calculations, bored cast in-situ piles of 1200 mm, 1500 mm & 1800mm
are considered. Recommended Termination depth of piles below EGL & safe loads on piles
considering pile with M35 grade concrete is as follows.

CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

5.14 LAND

In order to minimize land acquisitions and to provide good accessibility form either
directions, the metro alignments are located mostly along the center of the roads, which lie
on the corridor. But, at some locations the geometrics of the roads especially at road
turnings may not match with geometric parameters required for metro rail systems. In such
cases, either the alignment will be off the road or some properties abutting the road would
get affected. The North-South Corridor alignment has been revised and it is passing through
Railway Land on Botad- Sabarmati section of Bhavnagar Division of Western Railway
between Railway Chainage 23+750 to 15+330 and runs parallel to existing Railway corridor
in decreasing chainage direction of railway for 8.5 km. No permanent land acquisition will
be required in this portion and only way leave permission from Railway will be required and
charges will have to be paid to them. Further, some land is required for various purposes as
detailed below:

5.14.1 Land Requirement for following Major Components


MRTS Structure (including Route Alignment), Station Building, Platforms, Entry/Exit
Structures, Traffic Integration Facilities, Depots, etc.
Receiving/Traction Sub-stations

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 19/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

Radio Towers
Temporary Construction Depots and work sites.
Staff quarters, office complex and operation control centre(OCC)

5.14.2 Land for Underground stretches


No land at surface is required permanently for underground section, except for small areas
for entry/exit structures, traffic integration, chilling plant and ventilation shafts at stations.
These will be located either on footpath edge or in front marginal open setback of the
building along the road.

5.14.3 Land required for elevated stretches


For elevated section, single pier supporting the viaduct will be located on the middle of road
so that the existing roads remain in use as usual. In Railway Land, they will be provided at
locations permitted by the Railway. Accordingly, necessary permission for using such right-
of-way will have to be obtained from the concerned authorities. Elevated station is generally
proposed with elevated concourse so that land is required only for locating the entry/exit
structures. However, at Paldi Station falling on Railway land, special design will have to be
evolved to provide Ticketing facility on ground and an RUB/Subway will have to be planned
in lieu of the existing Level Crossing No. 15. Traffic integration facilities are provided
wherever the same are required, but no land is proposed for acquisition.

The normal viaduct structure of elevated Metro is about 10.5 m (edge to edge) wide. Ideally
the required right of way is 10.5 m. However, for reasons of safety a clean marginal distance
/ setback of about 5 m is necessary from either edge of the viaduct (or 10.25 m on both sides
of the centre line) wherein no structures are to be located. It ensures road access and
working space all along the viaduct for working of emergency equipment and fire brigade. In
stretches, where the elevated alignment has to be located away from road, a strip of 20-m
width is proposed for acquisition. However, in Railway land where no service road is
available on the side and the building line is about 1.5 to 5 m away from the Railway Land
Boundary on the eastern side where the viaduct piers are proposed to be located, there is no
option but to keep the centre line of the Metro Viaduct 5.5 m from the Railway Boundary. In
such cases water pipeline with sprinklers will have to be run on the viaduct from the nearest
Metro Station for firefighting in case Metro Train catches Fire. Prior permission of the Fire
Department will have to be obtained for this arrangement. Any violation of Fire Safety
norms (Fire Separation etc.) by the owners of the building will be unauthorized and will be
the responsibility of the owner and not MEGA.

In view of the constraints on space on ground floor, it is proposed to provide the concourse
area exactly below the Station Building at mezzanine level. All the stations in elevated
stretch including terminal station are planned with side platforms. Normally, the ideal width
required for station building in is 28.0m. The staircase giving access to concourse area from
ground will be located at the edge of footpaths or in front marginal open setback of the
buildings in the as far as possible in the open space. Nevertheless it is not possible to find
open space at all the locations therefore acquisition of certain private structures is
inevitable.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 20/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

In Railway land, special design of Station will have to be evolved to provide access from both
the sides of railway land, separate Concourse for both the sides and side Platforms. If
required, Concourse and Platform may have to be provided at the same level.

5.14.4 Land for Switch-over Ramps


Switch-over ramps are required for transition from the underground to elevated section or
vice versa. The ramp covers a stretch at ground for the whole width of structure for two
tracks (about 10.5m including the protection works). The length of ramp above ground
depends on the existing ground slope and the gradient provided on Metro alignment
(normally 3% to 4%). Thus the ramp is to be located in an area where sufficient road width
is available or in an open area. Two such ramps are provided in East-West corridor.

5.14.5 Land for Traffic integration


As indicated in station planning para certain land is required for traffic integration at the
each station. But no land for traffic integration has been ear marked at this stage however
this should be identified and ear marked where ever possible closure to the proposed
station locations.

5.14.6 Land for Traction and Receiving Substation and Radio Towers
Two RSS each is proposed to be located for Thaltej to Vastral Gam and APMC to Motera
Stadium Corridor. Hence, an area of 22400 m2 has been earmarked exact location will be
decided at the time of implementation of the project. No additional land proposed for
locating radio towers. These will be accommodated in the land already acquired. Land
required for RSS will be as tabulated below.

5.14.7 Land Requirement for Stations & Running section


As indicated earlier, the ROW of the roads along which the alignment is planned is
adequately wide and hence no land is required for acquisition as long as the alignment is
straight and in the centre of the road. However, at curved portions, the alignment could not
be kept in the centre of the road and land acquisition at such locations is inevitable in spite
of introduction of sharper curves.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 21/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

To the extent possible the Entry and Exit points of stations (underground and elevated)
were planned on the in open spaces between foot paths and building offsets as far as
possible. But, for locating other station facilities such as chiller plants, ventilation shafts,
underground water tanks, generator set room etc., land acquisition is proposed.

For using the Railway Land, Way-leave permission shall have to be obtained and way leave
charges for using Railway land and its Air-Space shall have to be paid as per Railway Rules

The details of land permanently required for depot, running sections and stations and
Railway land for which Way-Leave permission is required, are indicated in the Table 5.3,

5.14.8 Land for Staff quarters, office complex and operation control centre (OCC)
A large number of officers and staff will be required to be deployed permanently to take care
of project implementation and post construction operational activities. Moreover metro
office complex and metro operation control centre will also be required. It is proposed to
keep the provision of 5.0 ha of government land for this purpose. Exact location of land has
not been identified at this stage. It may be decided at the time of project implementation.

5.14.9 Temporary office accommodation


During construction period, huge quantities of construction materials like reinforcing bars,
cement, steel sections, shutters, pre-cast segments etc. are to be stored and sufficient land is
required for storage of these materials. The areas may be identified based on availability as
vacant on date nearer to the corridors. At the time of construction, depending up on the
need the location and size can be reassessed and temporary land acquisitions can be made
accordingly.

Since the area of land being acquired permanently at most of the stations is bare minimum,
the land required for construction depots purpose has been considered throughout the
corridor @ 2000sq m at every 5 km. These sites will be obtained on lease temporarily for
the construction period. After completion of construction, these will be handed over back to
the land owning agency.

5.14.10 Segment Casting Yard


Large numbers of pre-cast segments are required for construction of elevated/underground
structures for which a large open area is required for setting up of casting yards. As far as
possible, this area should be close to the site, easily accessible and away from habitation.
Considering the various factors, it is proposed to setup four segment casting yards for
EastWest corridor and three Casting yards for North-South Corridor. Accordingly a
provision of 14.0 ha land has been proposed on temporary basis considering 2.0 ha of land
for each segment casting yard for a period of a period of four years.

5.14.11Summary of Land Requirements


Abstract of land requirements for different components of this corridor is given in Tables
below. However, the land requirement is summarized below:

a) Govt Land permanently required for stations, Depot, Ramp and running section 86.768 ha.
b) Private Residential and Commercial Required for stations, Ramp and Running section
5.348ha
c) Total land required for the project is 92.116 ha.

5.15 UTILITY DIVERSIONS

5.15.1 Introduction
Besides the details of various aspects e.g. transport demand analysis, route alignment,
station locations, system design, viaduct structure, geo-technical investigations etc. as
brought out in previous paras, there are a number of other engineering issues, which are
required to be considered in sufficient details before really deciding on taking up any
infrastructure project of such magnitude. Accordingly, following engineering items have
been studied and described in this para.

Existing underground and at surface utilities and planning for their diversion during
construction, if necessary.

5.15.2 Utility and Services


The DMRC has collected details of various utilities from concerned agencies/organizations
directly for the entire alignment. Large number of sub-surface, surface and overhead utility
services viz. sewers, water mains, storm water drains, telephone cables, O.H electrical
transmission lines, electric poles, traffic signals, etc. are existing along the proposed
alignment. These utility services are essential and have to be maintained in working order
during different stages of construction, by temporary/permanent diversions or by supporting
in position. Since these may affect construction and project implementation time
schedule/costs, for which necessary planning/action needs to be initiated in advance.

CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

Assessment of the type and location of underground utilities running along and across the
proposed route alignment has been undertaken with the help of data available with
concerned authorities, who generally maintain plans and data of such utility services.
Particulars of main utilities i.e. trunk and main sewers/drainage conduits, water mains, OH
& UG Electric cable, Telecom cable etc. have been marked on alignment plans.

5.15.3 Diversion of Underground Utilities


While planning for diversion of underground utility services viz. sewer lines, water
pipelines, cables, etc., during construction of MRTS alignment, following guidelines have
been adopted:

Utility services have to be kept operational during the entire construction period and after
completion of project. All proposals should therefore, ensure their uninterrupted
functioning.
Sewer lines and water supply lines are mainly affected in underground cut and cover
construction. These services are proposed to be maintained by temporarily replacing them
with CI/Steel pipelines and supporting them during construction, these will be encased in
reinforced cement concrete after completion of construction and retained as permanent
lines
Where permanent diversion of the affected utility is not found feasible, temporary diversion
with CI/Steel pipes without manholes is proposed during construction. After completion of
construction, these will be replaced with conventional pipes and manholes.
The elevated viaduct does not pose much of a difficulty in negotiating the underground
utility services, especially those running across the alignment. The utilities infringing at pier
location can be easily diverted away from the pile cap location.
In case a major utility is running along/across the alignment which cannot be diverted or
the diversion of which is difficult, time consuming and uneconomical, the spanning
arrangement of the viaduct and layout of piles in the foundation may be suitably adjusted to
ensure that no foundation needs be constructed at the location, where utility is crossing the
proposed alignment. The utility service can also be encased within the foundation piles.

5.15.4 Underground Stretch and Switch Over Ramp


The underground section in the corridor is for a length of 6.335 km. As indicated in the
previous paras due to various reasons, the entire length of underground section is proposed
to be constructed with tunneling keeping a minimum cover of about 6m above the tunnel,
except at stations which will be constructed by cut and cover method. Hence, the utility
services existing in above ground or below ground position are not likely to be affected in
underground stretch of the alignment except at station locations.

5.15.5 Elevated Stretch


The stretch from Thaltej to Old High Court and Apparel park to Vastral in E-W corridor and
APMC to Moterastatdiumin N-S corridor is elevated and is almost in the center of the road
except at few locations as detailed in the Alignment description.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 42/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

5.15.6 Sewer Lines, Storm Water Drains and Water Lines


The sewer/drainage lines generally exist in the service lanes i.e. away from main
carriageway. However, in certain stretches, these have come near the central verge or under
main carriageway, as a result of subsequent road widening.

The major sewer/drainage lines and water mains running across the alignment and likely to
be affected due to location of column foundations are proposed to be taken care of by
relocating on column supports of viaduct by change in span or by suitably adjusting the
layout of pile foundations. Where, this is not feasible, lines will be suitably diverted.
Provision has been made in the project cost estimate towards diversion of utility service
lines.

5.15.7 Aboveground Utilities


Above ground utilities namely street light poles, traffic signal posts, telecommunication
posts, junction boxes, etc. are also required to be shifted and relocated suitably during
construction of elevated viaduct. Since these will be interfering with the proposed
alignment. Approximate numbers of affected lamp/ telecom/elect posts & boxes are
indicated in the Table 5.10 below
.

5.15.8 Affected HT-Electric cables & OH Lines & PVC Cu Cable


At several places, 11kV/66kv/132kv power cables are running along & across the proposed
alignment and few of them are likely to be affected. These lines need to be modified/shifted
or cabled well in advance of construction along this route.

5.15.9 Telephone Poles


At several places, telephone poles pertaining to BSNL are also running along the proposed
alignment in elevated position and few of them are likely to be affected. Detailed proposals
for tackling these lines need to be prepared in consultation with the concerned agencies.
However tentative provision has been made in cost estimates.

CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

5.16 ISSUES RELATED TO INTERFACE WITH EXTERNAL AGENCIES.

In order to complete the work timely and successfully, for all the corridors under
Chandigarh Metro Rail Projectnetwork, interface with external agencies on different issues
shall have to be conducted as per details given in Table 5.11.

Table 5.11 - Interface with External Agencies


S.No. Name of Agency Issue

1 APMC Removal of trees under the area of proposed


corridors.
3 AUDA /AMC/ R&B Clearance of ROW & Bridges for Metro wherever
encroached/occupied.
4 Indian Railways Crossing of Railway lines at some places such as
Sabarmati &Kalupur Railway Station ,
5 Ahmedabad Traffic Police Alignment of various corridors under Phase-I
network shall pass on/along the roads.
6 Torrent Power ,UGVCL Shifting of HT Line

In addition to above, some more external agencies may have to be coordinated during the
course of actual construction.

5.17 TRAFFIC DIVERSION

5.17.1 Need
Traffic Diversion Plans are required in order to look for options and remedial measures so
as to mitigate any traffic congestion situations arising out due to acquisition of road space
during Metro construction of various corridors under Metro Rail Project network. Any
reduction of road space during Metro construction results in constrained traffic flow. In
order to retain satisfactory levels of traffic flow up to the construction time; traffic
management and engineering measures need to be taken. They can be road widening
exercises, traffic segregation, one-way movements, traffic diversions on influence area
roads, acquisition of service lanes, etc.

Various construction technologies are in place to ensure that traffic impedance is done at the
minimum. They are:

Some of the corridor length and stations have been proposed by Cut-and-Cover method for
construction of the underground segment. This means that the stretch between two points
will have to be blocked during construction. However, temporary decking may be provided
by blocking the road carriageway partially to permit traffic movement along the same
stretch. Construction of switch-over-ramp also requires some road space.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 44/56


CHAPTER 5 - CIVIL ENGINEERING

For elevated section wherever it is passing along the road, the requirement would be mainly
along the central verge.
As regards to the alignment cutting across a major traffic corridor, Continuous Cantilevered
Construction Technology would be applied to prevent traffic hold-ups or diversions of any
kind.
Wherever the stations are isolated, areas available around it should be utilized for road
diversion purposes such as lay-byes and service roads.

5.17.2 Traffic Diversion Plans


Only temporary diversion plans will be required during construction of the Metro corridors
under MEGA Metro Rail Project network. At the onset, all encroachments from road ROW
will have to be removed. These encroachments vary from on-street parking to informal
activities. During the construction of works on underground sections by cut and cover, it is
proposed that temporary decking may be provided by blocking the road carriageway
partially to permit through as well as right-turning traffic movements. Total blockage of
traffic along the section will be done wherever reasonably good alternate road is available.

Keeping in view of future traffic growth and reduction of carriageway due to Metro
construction, implementation of traffic management/diversion plans shall become
inevitable for ensuring smooth traffic movement.

Chapter 6
STATION PLANNING
6.1 GENERAL

The proposed Ahmedabad Metro Phase-I alignment consists of two corridors namely:

Corridor I: North-South Corridor (APMC Motera)

The length of this corridor is 18.493 km (including Depot connection). Total 15 no. of
stations have been planned on this corridor. All stations on this corridor are planned to be
elevated.

Corridor II: East West Corridor (Thaltej Vastral Gam)

The length of this corridor is 19.435 km. Total 17 no. of stations has been planned on this
corridor. Four stations on this corridor are planned to be underground while the rest will be
elevated.

The locations of the station have been identified taking into consideration the constraints in
land acquisition and congestion issues, linkages with other transport nodes etc. Stations are
proposed in such a way so as to attract maximum demand from the traffic nodal points. The
map showing metro corridor along with station locations is presented on next page.

CHAPTER 6 STATION PLANNING

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 2/41


CHAPTER 6 STATION PLANNING

6.2 STATION TYPES

A total of 32 stations have been proposed across both the corridors. These are mostly
elevated stations located at a clear height of 5.5m above the road. The stations shall be
accessible from both sides of the road in order to better serve the catchment area. Two side
platforms are planned on these type of stations. Seven elevated stations are located within
an 8.5 km part of metro alignment that traverses over an existing metre gauge railway
alignment. These shall be constructed in conjunction with Indian railways. Approximately 6
km of alignment in the E-W corridor is located underground. This alignment will include
four underground stations. These underground stations will be island types in
configuration.

The Old High Court station is planned as an important metro interchange providing
interchange between North-South & East-West lines. Other interchange stations include
those interconnecting transport nodes such as Railway stations, GSRTC Terminals, BRTS
and AMTS stops. The stations would be physically connected to these nodes to ensure
comfortable and hassle-free transfers.

The Entry/exit structures to proposed stations have been planned to be located on


footpaths to the extent possible. However, where this is not possible, land acquisition would
be inevitable.

CHAPTER 6 STATION PLANNING

6.3 PLANNING AND DESIGN CRITERIA FOR STATIONS


Salient features of a typical station are as follows:
1. The stations can be divided into public and non-public areas (those areas where access is
restricted). The public areas can be further subdivided into paid and unpaid areas.
2. The platform level has adequate assembly space for passengers for both normal operating
conditions and a recognized abnormal scenario.
3. The platform level at elevated stations is determined by a critical clearance of 5.50 m under the
concourse and above the road intersection, a clearance of 3.00 m for the concourse height, depth of
below concourse floor below track viaducts in concourse would depend on detailed structural
design. The platforms are 1.09 m above the tracks level.
4. The concourse contains automatic fare collection system in a manner that divides the concourse
into distinct areas. The 'unpaid area' is where passengers gain access to the system, obtain travel
information and purchase tickets. On passing through the ticket gates, the passenger enters the
'paid area, which includes access to the platforms.
5. The arrangement of the concourse is assessed on a station-by-station basis and is determined by
site constraints and passenger access requirements. However, it is planned in such a way that
maximum surveillance can be achieved by the ticket hall supervisor over ticket machines,
automatic fare collection (AFC) gates, stairs and escalators. Ticket machines and AFC gates are
positioned to minimize cross flows of passengers and provide adequate circulation space.
6. Sufficient space for queuing and passenger flow has been allowed at the ticketing gates.
7. Station entrances are located with particular reference to passenger catchment points and physical
site constraints within the right-of-way allocated to the MRTS.
8. Office accommodation, operational areas and plant room space is required in the non-public areas
at each station.
9. Tunnel Ventilation fans and ASS in underground stations are provided at platform level/ concourse
level depending on availability of land for locating vent shafts.
10. The DG set, bore well pump houses and ground tank would be located generally in one area on
ground.
11. The system is being designed to maximize its attraction to potential passengers and the following
criteria have been observed:
o Minimum distance of travel to and from the platform and between platforms for transfer
between lines.
o Adequate capacity for passenger movements.
o Convenience, including good signage relating to circulation and orientation.
o Safety and security, including a high level of protection against accidents.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 38/41


CHAPTER 6 STATION PLANNING

12. Following requirements have been taken into account:


o Minimum capital cost is incurred consistent with maximizing passenger attraction.
o Minimum operating costs are incurred consistent with maintaining efficiency and the safety of
passengers.
o Flexibility of operation including the ability to adapt to different traffic conditions changes in
fare collection methods and provision for the continuity of operation during any extended
maintenance or repair period, etc.
o Provision of good visibility of platforms, fare collection zones and other areas, thus aiding the
supervision of operations and monitoring of efficiency and safety.
o Provision of display of passenger information and advertising.
13. The numbers and sizes of staircases/escalators are determined by checking the capacity against
AM and PM peak flow rates for both normal and emergency conditions.
14. In order to transfer passengers efficiently from street to platforms and vice versa, station planning
has been based on established principles of pedestrian flow and arranged to minimize unnecessary
walking distances and cross-flows between incoming and outgoing passengers.
15. Passenger handling facilities comprise of stairs/escalators, lifts and ticket gates required to process
the peak traffic from street to platform and vice-versa (these facilities must also enable evacuation
of the station under emergency conditions, within a set safe time limit).

A list of accommodation required in the non-public area at each station is given below:

Non Public Area Station Accommodation


Station Control Room Cash & Ticket Room
Platform Supervisors Booth Fire Tank & Petrol Pump
Station Masters Office Staff Area
Traction Substation UPS and Battery Room
Information & Enquiries Cleaners Room

CHAPTER 6 STATION PLANNING

6.4 CHARACTERISTICS OF TYPICAL ELEVATED STATION

The station is generally located on the road median, is ~140-m long and is a three level structure.
Passenger area on concourse is spread throughout the length of the station, with staircases leading
from either side of the road. Passenger facilities like ticketing, information, etc as well as
operational areas are provided at the concourse level. Typically, the concourse is divided into
public and non-public zones. The non-public zone or the restricted zone contains station
operational areas such as Station Control Room, Station Masters Office, Waiting Room, Meeting
Room, UPS & Battery Room, Signaling Room, Train Crew Room & Supervisor's Office, Security
Room, Station Store Room, Staff Toilets, etc. The public zone is further divided into paid and unpaid
areas. Area left over in the unpaid zone, after accommodating passenger movement and other
station facilities is earmarked for commercial utilization.

The advantages of having the concourse spread throughout the length of the station are:
a. Station can be made as narrow as 18-19 m, as equipment rooms can be placed along the length of
concourse. This station prototype therefore is suitable for narrow streets.
b. Since the station is narrow, it is possible to make it a cantilever structure supported on a
single column, leaving the road underneath more flexible for present use as well as future
expansion.
c. Construction is easier, less barricading and infringement with utilities
d. More opportunities for locating entrances as the station has along surface area for articulating
with surroundings, even at the ends, where skywalks can connect the station to street or adjoining
properties
e. Long concourse provides opportunities for locating retail outlets along the movement path
within the station

Since the station is generally in the middle of the road, minimum vertical clearance of 5.5-m has
been provided under the concourse. Concourse floor level is about 7.5-m above the road. To reduce
physical and visual impact of the elevated station, stations have been made transparent with
minimum walls on the sides.

With respect to its spatial quality, an elevated MRT structure makes a great impact on the viewer as
compared to an At-grade station. The positive dimension of this impact has been accentuated to
enhance the acceptability of an elevated station and the above ground section of tracks. Structures
that afford maximum transparency and are light looking have been envisaged. A slim and ultra-
modern concrete form is proposed, as they would look both modern and compatible with the
lesser-built, low-rise developments along most parts of the corridor.

CHAPTER 6 STATION PLANNING

6.4.1 Underground Station (Island Platform) - applicable to Shahpur, Ghee Kanta, Kalupur Rly Stn
and Kankaria East stations:

The four underground stations will be Island Platform types. They follow a typical design, which is
three level station with entrances and ventilation shafts at the ground level, a concourse with
ticketing and AFCs at the mezzanine level and finally platforms at the lowest level. The island
platforms are 140m in length, 12m wide with 2 sets of stair / escalator banks planned leading to
either end of the station. A lift is planned in the centre.

Two end concourses are proposed in the schematic drawings. At each end, the concourse is divided
into paid and unpaid area by the AFC gates. Paid area is limited to access to the stair / escalator
bank and corridors connecting the two concourses, also lead to the lift which is centrally provided.
A large cut out is proposed in the middle of paid concourse which provides visual connectivity
between the concourse and platform.

Entrances are planned such as to provide at least two at each end of the station, one on either side
of the vehicular road to provide pedestrian friendly access to station. Other over ground structures
are ventilation shafts and independent access for firemen.

Layout of the station is such that provides a most direct and visually legible space. Consequently,
the passenger flow is simple. Upon arrival at concourse level from street, ticket gates and AFC gates
are clearly visible. As the passengers approach the AFC gates, entire platform is visible to them.
From each end of concourse, only one bank of staircase / escalator is available, hence the
passengers move without any confusion to the platform. Those looking for elevator can see the
same directly in front in the middle of the platform through the large double ht space connecting
the two levels.

The USP of the station lies in the spatial quality created out of the structural form. The entire station
passengers area is designed as a column free, double height space which makes it possible for the
passengers to be able to see the entire station concourse and platform from end to end just as
approaching the AFC line. It is this spatial configuration from which this station derives its aesthetic
value. The sense of volume (12 m high, 20 m wide and approx 100 long space), visual legibility
(little dependence on signage as the entire station is visible from entrance) and a sense of
orientation are major components of the aesthetics of the entrances.

ECS plant room is generally proposed at the concourse level, outside the station box, ASS at
concourse level at the two ends and the TVF rooms in a track side configuration. Other back of the
house areas are planned at both platform and concourse levels.

7.3 TRAIN OPERATION PLAN

7.3.1 Salient Features

Running of services for 19 hours of the day (5 AM to Midnight) with a station dwell time of
30 seconds,
Make up time of 5-10% with 8-12% coasting.
Scheduled speed for these corridors has been assumed as:

-North- South Corridor


- APMC to Motera Stadium: 33kmph

East-West Corridor
-Thaltej to Vastral Gam: 35kmph

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 2/32


CHAPTER 7 TRAIN OPERATION PLAN

Note: The average speed mentioned are achievable, considering 3 Car Rake with 66.6%
Motorized car, inter-station distance in most of the section is more than 1km, moderate
gradient and no. of sharp curves etc.

7.3.2 Traffic Demand

Peak hour peak direction traffic demands (PHPDT) for the North- South Corridor & East-
West Corridor for the year 2018, 2021, 2031 and 2043 for the purpose of planning are
indicated in Attachment I/A1, I/B1, I/C1& I/D1 and Attachment I/A2/1, I/A2/2, I/B2, I/C2
& I/ D2 respectively.

7.3.3 Train formation

To meet the above projected traffic demand, the possibility of running trains with
composition of 3 cars with single headway has been examined.

Based on traffic projections, requirement of 3-car trains (2.9 m wide cars) is envisaged even
in the Year 2043 for this project. With a view to achieve standardization of modern metro
rolling stock in India, DMRC has been recommending 2.9 meter wide stock for all medium
size metros. Accordingly, 2.9 meter wide stock has been planned for Ahmedabad Metro.
Considering that Ahmedabad metro is not a heavy metro, providing 3.2 meter wide rolling
stock will not be a cost effective solution and would result in higher axle weight with
consequent increased infrastructure cost and also higher energy consumption.Though, use
of 3.2meter wide cars, lesser rakes would be required to cater to traffic demand during peak
hour but however, headway will increase further and is not advisable for metro train
operations.

Composition
DMC : Driving Motor Car
TC : Trailer Car

Capacity (@ 6 passengers per square meter of standee area)


Driving Motor Car (DMC) - 247 (43 seated + 204 standing)
Trailer Car (TC) - 270 (50 seated + 220 standing)
3 Car Train - 764 (136 seated + 628 standing)

7.3.4 Train Operation Plan


Based on the projected PHPDT demand, Train operation plan with train carrying capacity @
6 persons per square meter of standee area for the North-South Corridor & East West
Corridor for the year 2018, 2021, 2031, 2043 are given below:

7.4 YEAR WISE RAKE REQUIREMENT

Based on Train formation and headway as decided above to meet Peak Hour Peak Direction
Traffic Demand, Rake requirement has been calculated and enclosed as Attachment V.

Requirements of coaches is calculated based on following assumptions-


Assumptions

(i) Train Composition planned as under


3 car Train Composition : DMC +TC +DMC

Train Carrying Capacity of 3 Car : 764 passengers @6 standee/sqm


Train (@6 passengers per
square meter of standee area)

Train Carrying Capacity of 3 Car : 973 passengers @8 standee/sqm


Train (@8 passengers per
square meter of standee area)
(ii) Coach requirement has been calculated based on headway during peak hours.
(iii) Traffic reserve is taken as one train to cater to failure of train on line and to make up
for operational time list.
(iv) Repair and maintenance reserve has been estimated as 8 % of total requirement.
(v) The calculated number of rakes in fraction is rounded off to next higher number.
(vi) Schedule speed is taken as:

North-South Corridor
- APMC to Motera Stadium Section: 33 kmph

East-West Corridor
- Thaltej to Vastral Gam Section: 35kmph

(vii) Total Turn round time is taken as 6 min at terminal stations.

7.5 COST ESTIMATE

The estimated cost per coach at Jan 2014 Price level exclusive of taxes and duties may be
assumed as INR 9.8 Crores per Coach. Total, 42+51=93 coaches are required in year 2018
for the two lines in Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project. Hence budget provision of INR 911.40 is
to be kept in the Estimate for Rolling stock.

Chapter - 8

ROLLING STOCK & MAINTENANCE FACILITIES


8.1 INTRODUCTION

The required transport demand forecast is the governing factor for the choice of the Rolling
Stock. The forecasted Peak Hour Peak Direction Traffic calls for a Medium Rail Transit
System (MRTS).

8.2 OPTIMIZATION OF COACH SIZE

The following optimum size of the coach has been chosen for this corridor as mentioned in
Table 8.1.
Table 8.1 - Size of the coach

Length* Width Height


Driving Motor Car (DMC) 21.64 m 2.9 m 3.9 m
Trailer car (TC) 21.34 m 2.9 m 3.9 m
*Maximum length of coach over couplers/buffers = 22.6 m

8.3 PASSENGER CARRYING CAPACITY

In order to maximize the passenger carrying capacity, longitudinal seating arrangement


shall be adopted. The whole train shall be vestibuled to distribute the passenger evenly in
all the coaches. Criteria for the calculation of standing passengers are 3 persons per square
meter of standing floor area in normal state and 6 persons in crush state of peak hour.

Therefore, for the Medium Rail Vehicles (MRV) with 2.9 m maximum width and longitudinal
seat arrangement, conceptually the crush capacity of 43 seated, 204 standing thus a total of
247 passengers for a Driving motor car, and 50 seated, 220 standing thus a total of 270 for a
trailer/motor car is envisaged.

Following train composition is recommended:


3-car Train: DMC+TC+DMC

Table 8.2 shows the carrying capacity of Medium Rail Vehicles.

8.4 WEIGHT

The weights of driving motor car, trailer car and motor car have been estimated as in Table
8.3, referring to the experiences in Delhi Metro. The average passenger weight has been
taken as 65 kg.

The axle load @ 6persons/sqm of standing area works out in the range of 14.014T to
14.388T. Heavy rush of passenger, having 8 standees per sq. meter can be experienced
occasionally. It will be advisable to design the coach with sufficient strength so that even
with this overload, the design will not result in over stresses in the coach. Coach and bogie
should, therefore, be designed for 16 T axle load.

8.6 COACH DESIGN AND BASIC PARAMETERS

The important criteria for selection of rolling stock are as under:

(i) Proven equipment with high reliability


(ii) Passenger safety feature
(iii) Energy efficiency
(iv) Light weight equipment and coach body
(v) Optimized scheduled speed
(vi) Aesthetically pleasing Interior and Exterior
(vii) Low Life cycle cost
(viii) Flexibility to meet increase in traffic demand
(ix) Anti-telescopic

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 3/35


CHAPTER 8 ROLLING STOCK & MAINTENANCE FACILITIES

The controlling criteria are reliability, low energy consumption, lightweight and high
efficiency leading to lower annualized cost of service. The coach should have high rate of
acceleration and deceleration.

8.7 SELECTION OF TECHNOLOGY

Low life cycle cost


Low life cycle cost is achieved by the way of reduced scheduled and unscheduled
maintenance and high reliability of the sub-systems. It is possible to achieve these
objectives by adopting suitable proven technologies. Selection of following technologies
has been recommended to ensure low life cycle cost-.

8.7.1 Car body


In the past carbon high tensile steel was invariably used for car bodies. In-fact almost all
the coaches built by Indian Railways are of this type. These steel bodied coaches need
frequent painting and corrosion repairs, which may have to be carried out up to 4-5 times
during the service life of these coaches. It is now a standard practice to adopt stainless steel
or aluminum for carbody.

The car bodies with aluminum require long and complex extruded sections which are still
not manufactured in India. Therefore aluminum car body has not been considered for use.
Stainless steel sections are available in India and therefore stainless steel car bodies have
been specified. No corrosion repair is necessary on stainless steel cars during their service
life.

Stainless steel car body leads to energy saving due to its lightweight. It also results in cost
saving due to easy maintenance and reduction of repair cost from excellent anti corrosive
properties as well as on improvement of riding comfort and safety in case of a crash or fire.

8.7.2 Bogies
Bolster less lightweight fabricated bogies with rubber springs are now universally adopted
in metro cars. These bogies require less maintenance and overhaul interval is also of the
order of 4,20,000km. Use of air spring at secondary stage is considered with a view to keep
the floor level of the cars constant irrespective of passenger loading unlike those with coil
spring. Perturbation from the track are also dampened inside the car body on account of
the secondary air spring along with suitable Vertical Hydraulic Damper .The primary
suspension system improve the curve running performance by reducing lateral forces
through application of conical rubber spring. A smooth curving performance with better
ride index is being ensured by provision of above type of bogies.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 4/35


CHAPTER 8 ROLLING STOCK & MAINTENANCE FACILITIES

8.7.3 Braking System


The brake system shall consist of
(i) An electro-pneumatic (EP) service friction brake
(ii) A fail safe, pneumatic friction emergency brake
(iii) A spring applied air-release parking brake
(iv) An electric regenerative service brake
(v) Provision of smooth and continuous blending of EP and regenerative braking

The regenerative braking will be the main brake power of the train and will regain the
maximum possible energy and pump it back to the system and thus fully utilize the
advantage of 3 phase technology .The regenerative braking should have air supplement
control to bear the load of trailer car. In addition, speed sensors mounted on each axle,
control the braking force of the axles with anti skid valves, prompting re-adhesion in case of
a skid .The brake actuator shall operate either a tread brake or a wheel disc brake,
preferably a wheel disc brake.

8.7.4 Propulsion System Technology


In the field of Electric Rolling Stock, DC series traction motors have been widely used due to
its ideal characteristics and good controllability for traction applications. But these
required intensive maintenance because of commutators and electro-mechanical
contactors, resistors etc

The brush less 3 phase induction motors has now replaced the D.C. Series motors in traction
applications. The induction motor, for the same power output, is smaller and lighter in
weight and ideally suited for rail based Mass Rapid Transit applications. The motor tractive
effort and speed is regulated by Variable Voltage and Variable frequency control and can
be programmed to suit the track profile and operating requirements. Another advantage of
3 phase a.c. drive and VVVF control is that regenerative braking can be introduced by
lowering the frequency and the voltage to reverse the power flow and to allow braking to
very low speed.

For this corridor, three phase a.c. traction drive that are self-ventilated, highly reliable,
robust construction and back up by slip/slid control have been recommended for adoption.

The DC voltage from the 3rd Rail is stepped up through a STEP up Chopper to DC link
voltage, which feeds Inverter operated with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control
technology and using insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT). Thus three-phase variable
voltage variable frequency output drives the traction motors for propulsion.

Recently advanced IGBT has been developed for inverter units. The advanced IGBT
incorporates its own over current protection, short circuit protection; over temperature
protection and low power supply detection. The inverter unit uses optical fiber cable to
connect the control unit to the gate interface. This optical fiber cable transmits the gate

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 5/35


CHAPTER 8 ROLLING STOCK & MAINTENANCE FACILITIES

signals to drive the advanced IGBT via the gate interface. The optical fiber cable provides
electrical isolation between the advanced IGBT and the control unit and is impervious to
electrical interference. These are recommended for adoption in trains of this corridor.

8.7.5 Interior and Gangways


Passenger capacity of a car is maximized in a Metro System by providing longitudinal seats
for seating and utilizing the remaining space for standing passenger. Therefore all the
equipments are mounted on the under frame for maximum space utilization. The gangways
are designed to give a wider comfortable standing space during peak hours along with easy
and faster passenger movement especially in case of emergency.

Interior View

8.7.6 Passenger Doors


For swift evacuation of the passenger in short dwell period, four doors of adequate width,
on each side of the coach have been considered. These doors shall be of such dimensions
and location that all the passenger inside the train are able to evacuate within least possible
time without conflicting movement .As the alignment passes through elevated section above
ground, automatic door closing mechanism is envisaged from consideration of passenger
safety. Passenger doors are controlled electrically by a switch in Driver cab. Electrically
controlled door operating mechanism has been preferred over pneumatically operated door
to avoid cases of air leakage and sluggish operation of doors.

The door shall be of Bi-parting Sliding Type as in the existing coaches of DMRC.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 6/35


CHAPTER 8 ROLLING STOCK & MAINTENANCE FACILITIES

Passenger Doors

8.7.7 Airconditioning
With heavy passenger loading of 6 persons/sqm for standee area and doors being closed
from consideration of safety and with windows being sealed type to avoid transmission of
noise, air conditioning of coaches has been considered essential. Each coach shall be
provided with two air conditioning units capable of cooling, heating and dehumidifying and
thus automatically controlling interior temperature throughout the passenger area at 25C
with 65% RH all the times under varying ambient conditions up to full load. For emergency
situations such as power failure or both AC failures etc, ventilation provision supplied from
battery will be made. Provision shall be made to shut off the fresh air intake and re-circulate
the internal air of the coach, during an emergency condition, such as fire outside the train
causing excessive heat and smoke to be drawn in to the coach.

8.7.8 Cab Layout and Emergency Detrainment Door.


The modern stylish driver panel shall be FRP moulded which give maximum comfort and
easy accessibility of different monitoring equipments to the driver along with clear visibility
.The driver seat has been provided at the left side of the cabin.

passengers are continuously advised of the next stoppage station, final destination station,
interchange station, emergency situations if any, and other messages. The rolling stock is
provided with Talk Back Units inside the cars, which permit conversation between
passengers and the drivers in case of any emergency.

8.7.10 Noise and Vibration


The trains will pass through heavily populated urban area .The noise and vibration for a
metro railway become an important criteria from public acceptance view point. The source
of noise are (i) rail-wheel interaction (ii) noise generated from equipment like Blower,

8.8 DEPOT- CUM- WORKSHOP

It is proposed to establish one depot- cum- workshop at Gyaspur for North South Corridor
and one depot- cum- workshop at Apparel Park for East West Corridor with following
functions:

a) Depot- cum- workshop at Gyaspur for North South Corridor

(i) Major overhauls of all the trains of N- S Corridor.


(ii) All minor schedules and repairs of N- S Corridor.
(iii) Lifting for replacement of heavy equipment and testing thereafter of N- S Corridor.
(iv) Repair of heavy equipments of N- S Corridor.

b) Depot- cum- workshop at Apparel Park for East West Corridor

(i) Major overhauls of all the trains of E-W Corridor.


(ii) All minor schedules and repairs of E-W Corridor.
(iii) Lifting for replacement of heavy equipment and testing thereafter of E-W Corridor.
(iv) Repair of heavy equipments of E-W Corridor.

The Depot planning at Gyaspur for North South Corridor and at Apparel Park for East West
Corridor is based on following assumptions:

(i) Enough space should be available at Gyaspur for North South Corridor and at Apparel Park
for East West Corridor for establishment of a Depot- Cum- workshop
(ii) All inspection, workshop lines and stabling lines are designed to accommodate two
trainsets of 3- car each.
(iii) All stabling lines are planned in the proposed depot-cum-workshop assuming adequate
space availability. In case of space constraints, if any, stabling facilities may need to be
created at terminal stations or elsewhere to cater to the required stability facilities.
(iv) Provision of transfer line from one corridor to another corridor.

In broad terms, based on the planned Rolling Stock requirements, this chapter covers
conceptual design on following aspects and will work as a guide for detailed design later:

POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS
Power supply is the lifeline of Metro System

9.1 POWER REQUIREMENTS

Electricity is required for operation of Metro system for running of trains, station services
(e.g. lighting, lifts, escalators, signalling & telecom, fire fighting etc) and workshops, depots
& other maintenance infrastructure within premises of metro system. The power
requirements of a metro system are determined by peak-hour demands of power for
traction and auxiliary applications. Broad estimation of auxiliary and traction power
demand is made based on the following requirements:-

(i) Specific energy consumption of rolling stock 75KWh/1000 GTKM


(ii) Regeneration by rolling stock 20%
(iii) Elevated/at grade station load initially 250KW, which will increase to 400 KW in
the year 2043
(iv) Underground station load initially 2000 KW, which will increase to 2500 KW in
the year 2043
(v) Depot auxiliary load - initially 2000 KW, which will increase to 2500 KW in the year
2043.

Keeping in view of the train operation plan and demand of auxiliary and traction power,
power requirements projected for the year 2018, 2021, 2031 and 2043 are summarized in
table 9.1 below:-

CHAPTER 9 - POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS

Table 9.1 Power Demand Estimation (MVA)

The detailed calculations of power demand estimation are attached at annexure 8.1.

9.2 NEED FOR HIGH RELIABILITY OF POWER SUPPLY

The proposed Ahmedabad metro system is being designed to handle about 30,000
passengers per direction during peak hours when trains are expected to run at 1.75 minutes
intervals. Incidences of any power interruption, apart from affecting train running, will
cause congestion at stations. Interruption of power at night is likely to cause alarm and
increased risk to traveling public. Lack of illumination at stations, non-visibility of
appropriate signages, disruption of operation of lifts and escalators is likely to cause
confusion, anxiety and ire in commuters, whose tolerance level are low on account of stress.
Effect on signal and communication may affect train operation and passenger safety as well.
Therefore, uninterrupted power supply is mandatory for efficient metro operations.

To ensure reliability of power supply, it is essential that both the sources of Supply and
connected transmission & distribution networks are reliable and have adequate
redundancies built in. Therefore, it is desirable to obtain power supply at high grid voltage
of 132 or 66kV from stable grid sub-stations and further transmission & distribution is done
by the Metro Authority itself.

9.3 SOURCES OF POWER SUPPLY

The high voltage power supply network of Ahmedabad city was studied in brief. The city
has 220, 132 and 66kV network to cater to various types of demand in vicinity of the
proposed corridor. Series of meetings were held with M/s Torrent Power AEC Limited
(Licensee of the area) and various sub-stations sites were inspected to finalize the Input
Power Supply sources & Supply Voltage.

Keeping in view the reliability requirements, Four Receiving Sub-stations (two for N-S line
and Two for E-W line) are proposed to be set up. This is an economical solution without
compromising reliability. Based on the discussions with M/s Torrent AEC Ltd., it is
proposed to avail power supply for traction as well as auxiliary services from the following
grid sub-stations at 132 or 66kV voltage through cable feeders: -

Annexure-8.2) have assured that reliable power supply from their 132 kV Sub-station will
be provided. In view of this, during the details design stage, the locations of RSS and GSS
may be reviewed/ fine tuned and finalized based on the updated status of power supply/
Sub-stations of M/s Torrent Power AEC Ltd. M/s Torrent Power AEC Ltd have been
requested to confirm availability of power near Apparel Park Depot. The summary of
expected power demand at various sources is given in table 8.3.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 3/33


CHAPTER 9 - POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS

The 132 kV power supply will be stepped down to 33 kV level at the RSSs of metro
authority. The 33kV power will be distributed along the alignment through 33kV Ring main
cable network for feeding traction and auxiliary loads. These cables will be laid in dedicated
ducts/cable brackets along the viaduct and tunnel.

Interconnection of 33kV power supply between the two corridors has been planned at the
Interchange station of Old High Court which can be used for transfer of power from One
corridor to other in emergency situations. In case of tripping of One RSS of either corridor
on fault or input supply failure, train services can be maintained from stand-by source of the
same line or by feed extension from RSS of other line. But if one more RSS fails, only
curtailed services can be catered to. However, in case of total grid failure, all trains may
come to a halt but station lighting, fire and hydraulics & other essential services can be
catered to by stand-by DG sets. However, no train services can be run with power supply
received from DG Sets. Therefore, while the proposed scheme is expected to ensure
adequate reliability, it would cater to emergency situations as well, except for the train
running.

The 132 kV cables will be laid through public pathways from Torrent Power AEC Sub-
stations to RSS of Metro Authority. RSS at Gyaspur and Sabarmati RSS shall be provided
with 2nos. (one as standby) 132/33 kV, 30 MVA (ONAN) three phase Transformers for
feeding Traction as well as auxiliary loads and RSS near Thaltej and Apparel Park RSS shall
be provided with 2nos. (one as standby) 132/33 kV, 45 MVA (ONAN) three phase
Transformers. The capacity of transformers may be reviewed considering the load

CHAPTER 9 - POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS

Conventional Outdoor type 132 kV Switchgear is proposed for all the RSS to be located in
approx. 80 X 60 m (4800 sq. m) land plot as the availability of Land in this area may not be a
constraint. If Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) type Switchgear will be planned in future due
to less space and reduced maintenance the capital cost need to be enhanced. The typical RSS

For the 750V dc Third Rail Current Collection System, Bottom current collection with the
use of composite Aluminum steel third rail on main lines is envisaged from reliability and
safety considerations (figure below). Low carbon steel third rail available indigenously is
proposed for the depot because of reduced current requirements.

The cross-section of third rail will be about 5000 mm2. The longitudinal resistance of
composite and steel third rail is about 7 and 20 milli-ohm/km respectively. The life of
composite and steel third rail is expected to be 25-30 years.

9.5 TRACTION SUB-STATIONS (33KV/750V DC)


Traction sub-stations (33kV/750V dc) are required to be set up for feeding 750V dc power
supply to the third rail. In order to cater to traction load as per train operation plan, it is
envisaged to provide traction sub-stations (TSS) at alternate stations. The TSS along with
Auxiliary Sub-Stations (ASS) will be located at station building itself at mezzanine or
platform level inside a room. The typical layouts for TSS & ASS are given in figure 8.2 & 8.3.
The requirement comes to 7 TSS for Corridor 1 and 9 TSS for Corridor 2. An additional
TSS will be located in each maintenance depot. Thus the total requirement of TSS works out
to 8 and 10 for the Corridor 1 and Corridor 2 respectively.

9.6 STRAY CURRENT CORROSION PROTECTION MEASURES

9.6.1 Concept of dc Stray Current Corrosion

In dc traction systems, bulk of return current finds its path back to the traction sub-station
via the return circuit i.e. running rails. The running rails are normally insulated to minimize
leakage of currents to the track bed. However, due to leaky conditions, some current
leakage takes place, which is known as stray current. The current follows the path of least
resistance. Return current deviates from its intended path if the resistance of the
unintended path is lower than that of intended path. The stray current may flow through
the unintended path of metallic reinforcements of the structure back to the sub-station. It is

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 7/33


CHAPTER 9 - POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS

also possible that part of the stray current may also flow into soil, where it may be picked
up by metallic utilities and discharged back to soil and then to near the sub-station.
The dc stray currents cause metal detraction in watery electrolytes as per the following
chemical reactions:-

Stray current enters in the metal


2H2O + 2e- H2 + 2OH- (development of Hydrogen gas)

Stray current exits from metal


Fe Fe2+ + 2e- (Fe2+ ions migrate away from the metal)

That is how, dc stray currents cause corrosion of metallic structure where it leaves the
metal. This is shown in figure 8.4. Pitting and general form of corrosion are most often
encountered on dc electrified railways.

FIGURE 8.4 -- DC TRACTION SYSTEM : STRAY CURRENT CORROSION CONCEPT

9.6.2 Effect of Corrosion


Detraction rate of metals can be calculated by Faradays First Law:
m = c.i.t
Where m = mass (kg)
c = Coefficient of detraction (kg/Amp.year)
i = Current (Amp)
t = time (year)
c = 2.90 for Aluminium
= 33.80 for Lead

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 8/33


CHAPTER 9 - POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS

= 9.13 for Iron


= 10.4 for Copper

That means dc stray current of 1 ampere flowing continuously can eat away approx. 9 kg
of steel in a year. If 5000 amperes of current flows for one year to power the trains on a
transit system, and that 2 percent of this current (100 amperes) leaks as stray current, the
amount of steel metal loss is 0.9 ton per year. Therefore, the safety implications are
considerable for structural reinforcements. In addition, corrosion may also affect
neighboring infrastructure components such as buried pipelines and cables.

9.6.3 Measures for Protection against Stray Current Corrosion

Earthing & bonding and protection against stray current corrosion are inter-related and
conflicting issues. Therefore, suitable measures are required to suppress the stray currents
as well as the presence of high touch potentials. Safety of personnel is given preference even
at a cost of slightly increased stray currents. Following measures are required to restrict
the stay current:-
(i) Decreasing the resistance of rail-return circuit
(ii) Increasing the resistance of rail to ground insulation

Whenever buried pipes and cables are in the vicinity of dc systems, efforts shall be made to
ensure that metal parts are kept away as far as practicable to restrict stray current. A
minimum distance of 1 meter has been found to be adequate for this purpose.

Generally, three types of earthing arrangements (viz. Earthed System, Floating System &
Hybrid Earthing System) are prevalent on metros World over for protection against stray
current corrosion. Traditionally, Earthed system was used by old metros. Hybrid earthing
system is being tried on experimental basis on few new metros. Floating system has been
extensively used by recent metros. As per global trends, floating system (i.e. traction system
with floating negative) is preferred. It reduces the dc stray current considerably. The
arrangement shall comply with the following latest CENELEC standards:-

EN 50122-1:- Railway Applications (fixed installations) protective provisions


relating to electrical safety & earthing
EN 50122-2:- Railway Applications (fixed installations) protective provisions against
the effects of stray currents caused by dc traction system

The conceptual scheme of the proposed floating system is described as follows:-

i) The running rails shall be adequately insulated as per EN50122-2. The recommended
conductance per unit length for single track sections are as under:-
Elevated section :- 0.5 Siemens/Km

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 9/33


CHAPTER 9 - POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS

Tunnel section :- 0.1 Siemens/Km.

ii) Stray Current Collector Cables {commonly known as structural earth (SE) cable}
(2x200 mm2 copper) shall be provided along the viaduct and all the metallic parts of
equipment, cable sheath, viaduct reinforcement, signal post etc. shall be connected to
SE cable.

iii) The continuity of the reinforcement bars of the viaduct as well as track slabs has to be
ensured along with a tapping point for connection with SE cable in order to drain back
the stray current. The typical arrangement of connecting the reinforcements of
viaduct is shown in figure 8.5.

FIGURE 8.5 CONNECTION OF SE CONDUCTOR TO STEEL REINFORCEMENT OF VIADUCT SEGEMENT

iv) A provision shall be made to earth the running rail (i.e. negative bus) in case of rail
potential being higher than limits prescribed (120V) in relevant standard (EN 50122-
1) in order to ensure safety of personnel. This will be achieved by providing track
earthing panel (TEP) at stations close to platform and at traction sub-stations.

v) In addition, provisions shall be made for connection of SE cable to negative return


path through diode only for the purpose of periodical monitoring of stray currents.
Under normal operations, switch provided for this connection will be in normally
open (NO) position and switch will be closed for monitoring of stray current once or
twice in a year as required.

The proposed scheme is shown in figure 8.6.

9.6.4 Special Arrangements in Depot

A separate traction sub-station (TSS) shall be provided for the depot so as to facilitate
isolation of depot traction supply from mainlines in order to prevent the leakage of return
currents to depot area. Tracks of Depot area shall also be isolated from mainline through
insulated rail joints (IRJ). Remote operated sectionalizing switches shall be provided to feed
power from depot to mainline and vice-versa in case of failure of TSS.

The prescribed limit of highest touch potential in depot is 60V as per EN50122-1 and
therefore Track Earthing Panels (TEP) shall be provided at suitable locations to earth the rail
in case the rail potential exceeds this limit. In areas, where leaky conditions exist (e.g.
washing lines, pit wheel lathe etc.), insulated rail joints (IRJ) shall be provided with power
diodes to bridge the IRJ to facilitate passage of return current.

A detailed scheme shall be developed during the design stage.

9.6.5 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

AC traction currents produce alternating magnetic fields that cause voltages to be induced in
any conductor running along the track. However, dc traction currents do not cause
electromagnetic induction effect resulting in induced voltages and magnetic fields.
The rectifier-transformer used in dc traction system produces harmonic voltages, which may
cause interference to telecommunications and train control/protection systems. The rectifier-
transformer shall be designed with the recommended limits of harmonic voltages,
particularly the third and fifth harmonics. 12-pulse rectifier-transformer has been proposed,
which reduces the harmonics level considerably. Detailed specification of equipment e.g.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 11/33


CHAPTER 9 - POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS

power cables, rectifiers, transformer, E&M equipment etc shall be framed to reduce
conducted or radiated emissions as per appropriate international standards. The Metro
system as a whole (trains, signaling & telecomm, traction power supply, E&M system etc)
shall comply with the EMC requirements of international standards viz. EN50121, EN50123,
IEC61000 series etc. A detailed EMC plan will be required to be developed during project
implementation stage.

9.6.6 Auxiliary Supply Arrangements for Stations & Depot


Auxiliary sub-stations (ASS) are envisaged to be provided at each station. A separate ASS is
required at each depot. The ASS will be located at mezzanine or platform level inside a
room. Wherever TSS is required, ASS & TSS will be housed together inside a room. The
auxiliary load requirements have been assessed at 400 kW for elevated/at-grade stations.
Accordingly, two dry type cast resin transformers (33/0.415kV) of 500kVA capacity are
proposed to be installed at the stations (one transformer as standby). Both the Depot ASSs
will also be provided with 2x2500 kVA auxiliary transformers. For Underground station, the
auxiliary load requirements have been assessed at 2500 kW, accordingly, two dry type cast
resin transformers (33/0.415kV) of 3200kVA capacity are proposed to be installed at the
stations (with one transformer as standby).

Typical Indoor Auxiliary Sub-station

2 x 2.5MW transformer-rectifier set shall be provided in each TSS with space provisions for an
additional set to be accommodated in future as and when train composition is increased. Self-
cooled, cast resin dry type rectifier-transformer is proposed, which is suitable for indoor
application. From the traction sub-stations, 750V dc cables will be laid up to third rail and
return current cables will be connected to running rails.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 12/33


CHAPTER 9 - POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS

9.7 RATING OF MAJOR EQUIPMENT

Based on emergency demand expected at each RSS as shown in Table 8.3, and expected
power demand during congestion, Gyaspur and Ranip/Sabarmati RSS shall be provided
with 2nos. of (One to be in service and one as standby) 132kV, 30 MVA three phase
transformers for feeding traction and auxiliary loads. RSS near Thaltej and Apparel Park hall
be provided with 2nos. of (One to be in service and one as standby) 132/33kV, 45 MVA
three phase auxiliary transformers for feeding traction and auxiliary loads. The incoming
cable shall be 3-phase single core XLPE insulated with 630mm2 Aluminum conductor to
meet the normal & emergency loading requirements and fault level of the 132kV supply.

Traction transformer-rectifier set (33kV/750V dc) shall be of 2.5MW rated capacity with
overload requirement of 150% for 2 hours with four intermittent equally spaced overloads
of 300% for 1 minute, and with one 450% full load peak of 15 seconds duration at the end
of 2 hour period. The traction transformer - rectifier set shall produce 750V dc nominal
output voltage with 12-pulse rectification so as to minimize the ripple content in the output
dc voltage. The IEC 850 international standard envisages the minimum and maximum
voltages of 500V and 900V respectively for 750V dc traction system and therefore, the dc
equipment shall be capable of giving desired performance in this voltage range.

33kV cable network shall be adequately rated to transfer requisite power during normal as
well as emergency situations and to meet the fault current requirement of the system.
FRLSOH cable for Underground section and FRLS Cable for Elevated section. Accordingly,
proposed 33kV cables sizes are as under:-

3, Single core x 240 mm2 Copper conductor XLPE insulated for 33kV ring main cable
network for corridor - 1.
3, Single core 400 mm2 Copper conductor XLPE insulated for 33kV ring main cable
network for corridor - 2.

Adequate no. of cables are required for transfer of power from TSS to third rail. Single-
phase XLPE insulated cables with 300mm2 copper conductor are proposed for 750V dc as
well as return current circuit. Based on current requirements, 3 cables are required for each
of the three circuits to feed power to third rail.

The above capacities of transformers, cables etc. have been worked out based on the
conceptual design. Therefore, these may be required to be revised for better accuracy
during design stage of project implementation.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 13/33


CHAPTER 9 - POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS

9.8 STANDBY DIESEL GENERATOR (DG) SETS

In the unlikely event of simultaneous tripping of all the input power sources or grid failure,
the power supply to stations as well as to trains will be interrupted. It is, therefore,
proposed to provide a standby DG set of 200 KVA capacity at the elevated stations and 2 X
1000 KVA at Underground stations to cater to the following essential services:

(i) Essential lighting


(ii) Signaling & telecommunications
(iii) Fire fighting system
(iv) Lift operation
(v) Fare collection system
(vi) Tunnel Ventilation (for Underground Stations).
Silent type DG sets with low noise levels are proposed, which do not require a separate
room for installation.

9.9 SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION (SCADA) SYSTEM

The entire system of power supply (receiving, traction & auxiliary supply) shall be
monitored and controlled from a centralized Operation Control Centre (OCC) through
SCADA system. Modern SCADA system with intelligent remote terminal units (RTUs) shall
be provided. Optical fibre provided for telecommunications will be used as communication
carrier for SCADA system.

Digital Protection Control System (DPCS) is proposed for providing data acquisition, data
processing, overall protection control, interlocking, inter-tripping and monitoring of the
entire power supply system consisting of 33kV ac switchgear, transformers, 750V dc
switchgear and associated electrical equipment. DPCS will utilize microprocessor-based
fast-acting numerical relays & Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) with suitable
interface with SCADA system.

9.10 Energy Saving Measures

Energy charges of any metro system constitute a substantial portion of its operation &
maintenance (O & M) costs. Therefore, it is imperative to incorporate energy saving
measures in the system design itself. The auxiliary power consumption of metros is
generally more than the traction energy consumed by train movement during initial years
of operation. Subsequently, traction power consumption increases with increase in train
frequency/composition in order to cater more traffic. The proposed system of Ahmedabad
Metro includes the following energy saving features:

(i) Modern rolling stock with 3-phase VVVF drive and lightweight stainless steel
coaches has been proposed, which has the benefit of low specific energy
consumption and almost unity power factor.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 14/33


CHAPTER 9 - POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS

(ii) Rolling stock has regeneration features and it is expected that 20% of total traction
energy will be regenerated and fed back to 750 V dc third rail to be consumed by
nearby trains.

(iii) Effective utilization of natural light is proposed. In addition, the lighting system of
the stations will be provided with different circuits (33%, 66% & 100%) and the
relevant circuits can be switched on based on the requirements (day or night,
operation or maintenance hours etc).

(iv) Machine-room less type lifts with gearless drive have been proposed with 3-phase
VVVF drive. These lifts are highly energy efficient.

(v) The proposed heavy-duty public services escalators will be provided with 3-phase
VVVF drive, which is energy efficient & improves the power factor. Further, the
escalators will be provided with infrared sensors to automatically reduce the speed
(to idling speed) when not being used by passengers.

(vi) The latest state of art and energy efficient electrical equipment (e.g. transformers,
motors, light fittings etc) have been incorporated in the system design.

(vii) Efficient energy management is possible with proposed modern SCADA system by
way of maximum demand (MD) and power factor control.

9.11 ELECTRIC POWER TARIFF

The cost of electricity is a significant part of Operation & Maintenance (O&M) charges of the
Metro System, which constitutes about 25-35% of total annual working cost. Therefore, it is
the key element for the financial viability of the Project. The annual energy consumption is
assessed to be about 34.98 million units for Corridor I and 68.32 Million units for Corridor
II in initial years (2018), which will be about 75.50 Million Units and 114.30 Million Units
respectively in the year 2043. In addition to ensuring optimum energy consumption, it is
also necessary that the electric power tariff be kept at a minimum in order to contain the
O& M costs. Therefore, the power tariff for Ahmedabad Metro should be at effective rate of
purchase price (at 132 kV voltage level) plus nominal administrative charges i.e. on a no
profit no loss basis. This is expected to be in the range of Rs. 4.90 per unit and fixed charge
Rs 160 per kVA per month. It is proposed that Government of Gujarat takes necessary steps
to fix power tariff for Ahmedabad Metro at No Profit No Loss basis. Similar approach has
been adopted for Delhi Metro. Financial analysis will be carried out based on this tariff (Rs
5.20 per unit) for the purpose of finalizing the DPR.

CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

Chapter 10

VENTILATION AND AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM

10.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter covers the Ventilation and Air-conditioning (VAC) system requirements for the
underground sections of the proposed Thaltej to Vastral Gam Corridor. It includes the
following:

- Station Air-conditioning System


- Station Smoke Management System
- Tunnel Ventilation System
- Control and Monitoring facilities

10.2 ALIGNMENT

The Thaltej to Vastral Gam East-West corridor is of 19.435 km long and consists of 17
stations out of which 4 stations are underground and 13 stations are elevated. The
underground section starts from Shahpur and terminates at Kankaria East underground
station. The inter-station distances between underground stations vary from 1318 meters to
2155 meters.

10.3 NEED FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING

The underground stations are built in a confined space. A large number of passengers
occupy concourse halls and the platforms, especially at the peak hours. The platform and
concourse areas have a limited access from outside and do not have natural ventilation. It is
therefore, essential to provide forced ventilation in the stations and inside the tunnel for the
purpose of:
- Supplying fresh air for the physiological needs of passengers and the staff;
- Removing body heat, obnoxious odours and harmful gases like carbon dioxide exhaled
during breathing;
- Preventing concentration of moisture generated by body sweat and seepage of water in
the sub-way;
- Removing large quantity of heat dissipated by the train equipment like traction motors,
braking units, compressors mounted below the under-frame, lights and fans inside the
coaches, A/c units etc.;
- Removing vapour and fumes from the battery and heat emitted by light fittings, water
coolers, Escalators, Fare Gates etc. working in the stations;

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 1/13


CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

- Removing heat from air conditioning plant and sub-station and other equipment, if
provided inside the underground station.

This large quantity of heat generated in M.R.T. underground stations cannot be extracted by
simple ventilation. It is, therefore, essential to provide mechanical cooling in order to remove
the heat to the maximum possible extent. As the passengers stay in the stations only for short
periods, a fair degree of comfort conditions, just short of discomfort are considered
appropriate. In winter months it may not be necessary to cool the ventilating air as the heat
generated within the station premises would be sufficient to maintain the comfort
requirement.

10.4 DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR VAC SYSTEM

With hot and humid ambient conditions of Ahmedabad during the summer and monsoon
months, it is essential to maintain appropriate conditions in the underground stations in
order to provide a comfort-like and pollution-free environment. The plant capacity and
design of VAC system needs to be optimized for the Designed inside Conditions.

The Indian Standards & Codes, which pertain to office-buildings, commercial centers and
other public utility buildings. The standards used for buildings are not directly applicable for
the underground spaces, as the heat load gets added periodically with the arrival of the train.
The patrons will stay for much shorter durations in these underground stations, the comfort
of a person depends on rapidity of dissipation of his body heat, which in turn depends on
temperature, humidity and motion of air in contact with the body. Body heat gets dissipated
is given out by the process of evaporation, convection and conduction. Evaporation prevails
at high temperature. Greater proportion of heat is dissipated by evaporation from the skin,
which gets promoted by low humidity of air. The movement of air determines the rate of
dissipation of body heat in the form of sensible and latent heat.

There are different comfort indices recognized for this purpose. The Effective Temperature
criterion was used in selecting the comfort condition in earlier metros, in this criteria comfort
is defined as the function of temperature and the air velocity experienced by a person. A new
index named RWI (Relative Warmth Index) has been adopted for metro designs worldwide.
This index depends upon the transient condition of the metabolic rate and is evaluated based
on the changes to the surrounding ambient of a person in a short period of about 6 to 8
minutes. It is assumed that during this period human body adjusts its metabolic activities.
Therefore in a subway system where the train headway is expected to be six minutes or less,
then RWI is the preferred criterion.

(1) Outside ambient conditions:

This is based upon ASHRAE-2009 recommended design conditions for 1% criteria, as


under
1% Criteria
Summer: 40.9oC (DB), 22.9oC (WB)

Monsoon: 32.9oC (DB), 28.1oC (WB)


DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 2/13
CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

For this corridor it is suggested to use 1% criteria, which is defined as the conditions,
when the DB or WB temperatures are likely to exceed for only 1% of the total time.

(2) Inside design conditions:

Platform areas: 27oC at 55% RH


Concourse: 28oC at 60% RH

(3) Tunnel design conditions:


Normal conditions Max. DB 40oC
Congested conditions Max. DB 45oC

(4) Minimum fresh air: 10% or 18 cmh/person


(In station public areas)

10.5 DESIGN CONCEPTS FOR VAC SYSTEM

There are various VAC design concepts technically feasible in a subway system that can
provide and maintain acceptable subway environment conditions under different
requirement and constraints. These are: Open type, Closed type, platform screen doors etc.
The station premises (public areas) are equipped with separate air-conditioning system
during the summer and monsoon months to provide acceptable environment for patrons.

There shall be provision of Trackway Exhaust System (TES) by which platform air can be re-
circulated. The train cars reject substantial heat inside subway. The TES is installed in the
train ways of each station to directly capture heat rejected by the vehicle propulsion,
braking, auxiliary and air conditioning systems as the train dwells in the station. When the
trains dwell at the stations TES would capture a large portion of heat released by the train
air conditioners mounted on the roof tops and under gear heat because of braking, before it
is mixed with the platform environment. The TES includes both an Under Platform Exhaust
(UPE) duct and an Over-Trackway Exhaust (OTE) duct. The TES uses ducts formed in the
under platform void and over the trackway. Exhaust intakes are to be located to coincide
with the train-borne heat sources.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 3/13


CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

Trackway Exhaust Fan

10.6 STATION AIR CONDITIONING

The platform and concourse areas will be air-conditioned using supply Air Handling Units
located in Environmental Control System (ECS) plant rooms throughout the station. Each
Platform and Concourse will be served by at least two air handling units (AHUs) with the
distribution systems combined along to ensure coverage of all areas in the event of single
equipment failure. Based on the initial estimation about 4 units of 25 m3/s each would be
needed for the full system capacity.

Air Handling Unit


These air conditioning systems mix return air with a desired quantity of outside air. The
outside air requirement is based on occupancy, with a minimum of 5 liters per second per
person or 10% of circulated air volume, whichever is the greater. The provision of free
DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 4/13
CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

cooling by a simple two-position economizer control system will be included, with the use of
enthalpy sensors to determine the benefits of using return air or outside air. This will signal
the control system to operate dampers between minimum and full fresh air, so as to minimize
the enthalpy reduction needed to be achieved by the cooling coil. This mixture of outside and
return air is then filtered by means of suitable filters and then cooled by a cooling coil before
being distributed as supply air via high level insulated ductwork to diffusers, discharging the
air into the serviced space in a controlled way to minimize draughts. Return air to the
platform areas is extracted via the Track way Exhaust System and either returned to the
AHUs or exhausted as required.

UVC Emitters can also be installed in the AHUs for the reduction of molds and fungus growth
on the coil and keeps the surface clean, eliminating need for coil cleaning programme and
improve the overall coil efficiency.

Following are the advantages of UVC emitter:

(a) UVC emitter kills or inactive surface and air borne microorganism that contribute to poor
indoor air quality or spread of infectious diseases.

(b) UVC emitter doesnt allow bio film to form on cooling coil surface and lowers HVAC costs
by resorting heat transfer and net cooling capacity.

(c) Increase in air flow resulted better air conditioning in the public area hence reduced
requirement of additional cooling through AC plant.

Water-cooled chiller units with screw compressors are recommended to be provided at each
station, which are energy efficient. These units can be installed in a chiller plant room at
surface level. Based on the initial concept design, the estimated capacity for a typical station
would be around 800-900 TR, hence three units of 270 or 300 TR may be required for full
system capacity (i.e. design PHPDT traffic requirement). During the detail design stage this
estimated capacity might get marginally changed for individual station depending on the heat
loads calculated through SES analysis.

10.7 VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING OF ANCILLARY SPACES

Ancillary spaces such as Staff Room, Equipment Room, will be mechanically ventilated or air
conditioned in accordance with the desired air change rates and temperatures/humidity.

All ancillary areas that require 24-hour air conditioning will be provided with Fan Coil Units
(FCUs) main Chilled Water plant for running during the revenue hours and with Air Cooled
Chillers or standby AC units or VRV system for running during the non-revenue hours. Return
air will be circulated through washable air filters.

Air Cooled Chiller

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 6/13


CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

Where fresh air is required it will be supplied to the indoor unit via a fresh air supply system,
complete with filter, common to a group of ancillary areas.

10.8 STATION SMOKE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Track way Exhaust and Concourse Smoke Extract Fans will be provided for smoke
extract purposes from the public areas and will operate in various modes depending on the
location of the fire. The control of this system in fire mode will be fail-safe. These exhaust
fans will be provided with essential power supplies, with automatic changeover on loss of
supply.

Down stand beams will be provided underneath the ceiling around floor openings for stairs
and escalators, so that a smoke reservoir is formed on the ceiling. The smoke will be
contained in this reservoir at ceiling level and exhausted to atmosphere. By controlling smoke
in this manner, it is possible to maintain a relatively smoke clear layer above human head
height and to protect the escape route, giving sufficient time for evacuation. The stations will
be designed to accommodate the full smoke exhaust volumes and thus prevent the reservoir
from completely filling with smoke. To provide an additional barrier against smoke
migration, the overall smoke management system would be designed to provide a draught of
fresh air through entrances and escape routes, to assist in protecting those routes from
smoke.

10.9 SPACE REQUIREMENT FOR VAC SYSTEM

The station air conditioning equipment plant rooms are normally located at each end of the
concourse for the two level stations. The approximate area for air handling equipment room
would be 600 m2 to 800m2 at each end of the station. There shall be supply shafts and exhaust
shafts of about 8 m2 to 10m2 each at each end of the stations.

10.10 DESIGN CONCEPTS FOR TVS SYSTEM

There are various TVS design concepts technically feasible in a subway system that can
provide and maintain acceptable subway environment conditions under different
requirement and constraints. These are: Open type; Closed type; Use of jet fans; use of mid-
shafts; etc.

Under the normal train running the train heat generated inside the tunnel sections would be
removed by the train piston action. It is envisaged that for the design outside conditions, it
may not be necessary to provide forced ventilation using Tunnel Ventilations Fans for normal
operating conditions. Two tunnel ventilation shafts would be provided at the end of the
stations. These end-shafts at the stations also serve as Blast Relief Shafts i.e. the piston
pressure is relieved to the atmosphere before the train reaches the station. All these shafts
are connected to the tunnels through dampers. The dampers are kept open when the
exchange of air with the atmosphere is permitted (Open Mode). For the Closed Mode system
the shaft dampers can be in closed mode and the displaced air is dumped in the adjacent
tunnel.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 7/13


CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

Generally each tunnel ventilation shaft is connected to a fan room in which there are two
reversible tunnel ventilation fans (TVF) are installed with isolation dampers. These dampers
are closed when the fan is not in operation. There is a bypass duct around the fan room,
which acts as a pressure relief shaft when open during normal conditions, and enables the
flow of air to bypass the TV fans, allowing air exchange between tunnel with flows generated
by train movements. Dampers are also used to close the connections to tunnels and nozzles
under different operating conditions. The details for the shaft sizes, airflow exchange with the
atmosphere, fan capacities can be estimated in a more accurate manner with the help of
Computer Simulations during the detailed design stage.

Tunnel Ventilation Dampers

10.11 TUNNEL VENTILATION SYSTEMS (TVS)

The TVS is provided in a Subway system essentially to carry out the following functions:

(a) Provide a tenable environment along the path of egress from a fire incident in
enclosed stations and enclosed train ways.

(b) Produce airflow rates sufficient to prevent back layering of smoke in the path of
egress within enclosed trainways.

(c) Be capable of reaching full operational mode within 180 seconds.

(d) Accommodate the maximum number of trains that could be between ventilation
shafts during an emergency.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 8/13


CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

Tunnel Ventilation Fan


Tunnel ventilation fans will be installed in each of the fan rooms near vent shafts. There shall
be two fans in a fan room at each end of the station. The fan capacity depends on the inter-
station distances and may vary from 65 m3/s to 85 m3/s depending upon the length and cross
section of the tunnel. The exact capacity will be obtained through the simulation during
detailed design stage. If necessary, nozzle type structures made up of concrete or steel may
also be constructed to achieve desired airflow and air velocity in the tunnel sections.
Alternatively booster fans (jet fans) may be installed to direct the flow in the desired
direction. These fans may also be used for emergency ventilation at crossover locations.

Tunnel Booster Fan


The Trackway Exhaust System (part of Tunnel Ventilation System) will have 3 fans of each
15m3/sec for each platform. The connections to tunnels and shafts will be through damper
units that may be either electrically or pneumatic actuated.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 9/13


CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

There are various operating modes (scenarios) for the Tunnel Ventilation system. These are
described as under:

10.12 NORMAL CONDITIONS

Normal condition is when the trains are operating to timetable throughout the system, at
prescribed headways and dwell times, within given tolerances. The primary source of
ventilation during normal conditions is generated by the movement of trains operating
within the system and, in some cases, the track way exhaust system.

During summer and the monsoon seasons, the system will be functioning essentially with the
station air conditioning operating. The vent shafts to the surface will enable the tunnel heat
to be removed due to train movements. The platform air captured by the track way exhaust
system shall be cooled and recirculated in the station. For less severe (i.e. cool)
environmental conditions (or in the event of an AC system failure), station air conditioning
will not be used and ventilation shafts will be open to atmosphere (open system) with the
track way exhaust system operating. For cold conditions, the closed system or open system
mode may be used, but without any station air conditioning. System heating is achieved by
the train heat released into the premises.

10.13 CONGESTED CONDITIONS

Congested conditions occur when delays cause disruption to the movement of trains. It is
possible that the delays may result in the idling of a train in a tunnel section. Without forced
ventilation, excessive tunnel temperatures may result reduced performance of coach air
conditioners that may lead to passenger discomfort.

During congested operations, the tunnel ventilation system is operated to maintain a specific
temperature in the vicinity of the car air conditioner condenser coils (i.e. allowing for thermal
stratification). The open system congested ventilation shall be via a push-pull effect where
tunnel vent fans behind the train are operated in supply and tunnel vent fans ahead of the
trains are operated in exhaust mode. Nozzles or booster (jet) fans will be used to direct air
into the desired tunnel, if required.

10.14 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS

Emergency conditions are when smoke is generated in the tunnel or station track way. In
emergency conditions, the tunnel ventilation system would be set to operate to control the
movement of smoke and provide a smoke-free path for evacuation of the passengers and for
the fire fighting purposes. The ventilation system is operated in a push-pull supply and
exhaust mode with jet fans or nozzles driving tunnel flows such that the smoke is forced to
move in one direction, enabling evacuation to take place in the opposite direction depending
upon the location of Fire on the train.

10.15 PRESSURE TRANSIENTS

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 10/13


CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

The movement of trains within the underground system induces unsteady air motion in the
tunnels and stations. Together with changes in cross section, this motion of air results in
changes in air pressure within trains and for wayside locations. These changes in pressure or
pressure transients can be a source of passenger discomfort and can also be harmful to the
wayside equipment and structures. Two types of transient phenomenon are generally to be
examined:

a) Portal Entry and Exit Pressure Transients As a train enters a portal, passengers will
experience a rise in pressure from when the nose enters until the tail enters. After the tail
enters the pressure drops. Similarly, as the nose exits a portal, pressure changes are
experienced in the train. There are two locations of the portal in Thaltej to Vastral Gam
Corridor one from Shahpur to Old High Court and other from Kankaria East to Apparel
Park.

b) Wayside Pressure Transients As trains travel through the system they will pass
structures, equipment and patrons on platforms. Equipment would include cross passage
doors, lights, dampers, walkways etc. Pressures are positive for the approaching train
and negative for retreating trains. Most rapid changes occur with the passage of the train
nose and tail. The repetitive nature of these pressures may need to be considered when
considering fatigue in the design of equipment.

The detailed analysis to assess the effect of pressure transients will be done during the design
stage. For the portal entry/exits the effect of higher train speed may pose discomfort to the
passengers. Although, based on the recent studies, it is assumed that a design train speed of
90 kmph would not be of major concern. The estimation of Way-side transients during design
stage would be necessary to select design mechanical strength of the trackside fixtures, e.g.
false ceilings, light fittings etc at the platform levels.

10.16 SPACE REQUIREMENT FOR TUNNEL VENTILATION SYSTEM

The tunnel ventilation equipment plant rooms are normally located at each end of the
concourse for the two level stations. The approximate area for tunnel ventilation fan room
would be 600 -700 sq. m. respectively at each end of the station. The tunnel vent shafts of
approximately 20 sq. m. area will be constructed at each end of the stations. There shall be
supply shaft and exhaust shafts of similar dimensions at the stations.

For designed headway 1.5 minutes and the inter station separation between underground
station shafts is beyond 1.5 Km as per alignment plan, there may be one mid shaft in Thaltej
to Vastral Gam corridor between Ghee Kanta and Kalupuram railway station for which
additional fund provisions to the tune of Rs. 6.5 Crores (for each mid shaft) for electrical &
mechanical works (Ventilation, E&M, BMS, ASS etc) and Rs. 22.5 Crores (for each mid shaft)
for civil works and land will be needed for each of these shafts.

10.17 CONTROL AND MONITORING FACILITIES

For the underground stations the control and monitoring of station services and systems
such as station air-conditioning, ventilation to plant rooms, lighting, pumping systems, lifts &
DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 11/13
CHAPTER 10 - VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

Escalators, etc shall be performed at Station Control Room (SCR). However, the operation and
control of Tunnel Ventilation as well as Smoke Management system will normally be done
through OCC. All these systems shall be equipped with automatic, manual, local and remote
operation modes. The alarms and signals from the equipment at stations shall be transmitted
to the OCC via communication network (such as FOTS).

There shall be an Auxiliary Power Controller at OCC who will be monitoring these services
and systems. The command signals will be initiated at OCC and relayed up to the relevant
equipment for operation. The feedback signal is received through SCADA whether the
command is implemented or not. The control from OCC is generally performed using Mode
Tables for each system. This table defines the sequence of the desired equipment that needs
to be operated based on the event. The abnormal conditions such as train congestion,
emergency, fire in subway would be detected by various components and the emergency
response thereto will be activated based on the mode tables. In the event that remote control
is not possible due to any reason, the local control via SCR would be performed. In case the
control at work station in SCR is also not available, the manual overriding provisions shall be
provided through Ventilation Control Panel (VCP) place in the SCR.

Ventilation Control Panel


The OCC will also be used for logging the alarm status, fault occurrences, and other
maintenance related data for the above systems.

11.1 INTRODUCTION

The signaling system shall provide the means for an efficient train control,
ensuring safety in train movements. It assists in optimization of metro
infrastructure investment and running of efficient train services on the network.

11.2 SIGNALLING AND TRAIN CONTROL

11.2.1 Overview
Metro carries large number of passengers at a very close headway requiring a
very high level of safety enforcement and reliability. At the same time heavy
investment in infrastructure and rolling stock necessitates optimization of its
capacity to provide the best services to the public. These requirements of the
metro are planned to be achieved by adopting CATC (Continuous Automatic
Train Control System) based on CBTC (Communication based Train Control

12.4 AUTOMATIC FARE COLLECTION

12.4.1 Introduction

Metro Rail Systems handle large number of passengers. Ticket issue and fare collection play
a vital role in the efficient and proper operation of the system. To achieve this objective,
ticketing system shall be simple, easy to use/operate and maintain, easy on accounting
facilities, capable of issuing single/multiple journey tickets, amenable for quick fare changes
and require overall lesser manpower. In view of above, computer based automatic fare
collection system is proposed.

For Multiple Journey, the Store Value Contactless Smart Card shall be utilized and for the
Single Journey, the Smart media shall be as utilized as Contactless Smart Token. System
should be compatible with the Contactless Smart Chip supplied by at least 2 Chip OEMs as
per ISO 14443 standard.

AFC system proves to be cheaper than semi-automatic (manual system) in long run due to
reduced manpower cost for ticketing staff, reduced maintenance in comparison to paper
ticket machines, overall less cost of recyclable tickets (Smart Card/Token) in comparison to
paper tickets and prevention of leakage of revenue. Relative advantages of automatic fare
collection system over manual system are as follows:

A) Manual fare collection systems have the following inherent disadvantages:

1. Large number of staff is required for issue and checking of tickets.


2. Change of fare structure is time consuming as has to be done at each station.
3. Manipulation possible by jamming of mechanical parts.
4. Staff and passenger interaction leading to more chances of confrontation.
5. Almost 100% ticket checking at entry / exit impossible.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 6/12


CHAPTER 12 - TELECOMMUNICATION & AUTOMATIC FARE COLLECTION

B) Automatic fare collection systems have the following advantages:

1. Less number of staff required.


2. Less possibility of leakage of revenue due to automatic ticket check by control gates.
3. Recycling of ticket fraudulently by staff avoided.
4. Efficient and easy to operate, faster evacuation both in normal and emergency.
5. System is amenable for quick fare changes.
6. Management information reports generation easy.
7. System has multi-operator capabilities. Same Smart Card can be used for other
applications also, including in other lines of the Metro.
8. Contactless Smarts Card based AFC systems are the worldwide accepted systems for
LRT/Metro environment.

The proposed ticketing system shall be that to be of Contactless Smart Card type for
multiple journey and Contactless Token for Single Journey. The equipment for the same
shall be provided at each station Counter/Booking office and at convenient locations and
will be connected to a local area network with a computer in the Station Control room.

C) Choice of Control Gates

Flap type Control Gates are proposed which offer high throughput, require less
maintenance and are latest in modern metros internationally. Tripod turnstile type gates
offer less throughput and require more maintenance and hence are not proposed. All these
Gates will have a functionality of Auto Top on Smart cards in case balance goes below the
threshold Value (As per User Choice/Business Rules)

D) Ticket Vending Machine (TVM)

At all stations, Passenger Operated Ticket Vending Machines (Automatic Ticket Vending
Machines) are proposed. The TVMs will provide convenience to passengers to avoid
standing in queues at ticket booths and provide them international standard service. This
will be used for

1. Dispensing Smart Tokens for single journey


2. Add Value in Smart card by paying money using Bank Notes or through Credit Card
/Debit card /pre Paid card.
3. Return the remaining money through Bank Notes and Coins (Min 2 types)

E) Ticket Reader/Add Value Machines

These machines will be used to know the Card/Token balance and can also be used as Add
value device in case payment for Card top up is made through alternate Internet based
channel like net banking, Credit/Debit card ( Payment gateway) etc.

DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

13.1 INTRODUCTION

The objective of making this chapter is to create a user-friendly mass transport system in
India which can ensure accessibility to persons with disabilities, people travelling with
small children or are carrying luggage, as well as people with temporary mobility problems
(e.g. a leg in plaster) and the elderly persons.

The design standards for universal access to Public Transport Infrastructure including
related facilities and services, information, etc. would benefit people using public transport.

The access standards given here are extracted from Indian Roads Congress Code, IRC 103:
2012, Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities; Model Building Bye-Laws, 2011 and National
Building Code, 2005. Central Public Works Departments (CPWD) Space Standards for
Barrier Free Built Environment for Disabled and Elderly Persons, 1998 and 2013 edition
(under revision by MoUD), and international best practices / standards

Further, it has also been attempted to provide guidelines/ standards for alighting and
boarding area, approach to station, car parking area, drop-off and pick-up areas, taxi/auto
rickshaw stand, bus stand/stop, footpath (sidewalk), kerb ramp, road intersection,
median/pedestrian refuge, traffic signals, subway and foot over bridge etc. to achieve a
seamless development around metro stations.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 4/23


CHAPTER 13 - DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

6. WAY FINDING

Way finding references should be available at decision points.


Colour can be used to identify routes and provide assistance in locating doors, walls
and hazards. Proper colour contrast between different elements greatly improves
visibility for all users and is critical for persons with low vision. For example, colour
contrasting of door frames can assist in locating doors, and likewise floors should be
contrasted with walls. In addition, furniture should contrast with walls and floors so
as not to create an obstacle.
Structural elements such as columns should be colour contrasted or brightly marked
so as to be visible to those who may have a visual disability.
Generally, patterns on flooring should be avoided or else should be minimal and
small to avoid visual confusion.
In addition to identifying hazards or warnings, tactile floor surfaces can also be used
to inform that there is a change in area (e.g. leaving a corridor and entering a
boarding area).
Tactile systems should be consistent throughout the building. For example,
terminals should not have carpeting in some boarding areas and tile in others as this
may create confusion for those who rely on tactile surfaces to guide them to their
destination.
Good lighting assists those with a visual disability to see better and allows people
who have a hearing impairment to lip read easier. However, care should be taken to
properly direct lighting and to use matte finishes on floors, walls and signage, so as
not to create glare which may create difficulties for all travelers.
Blinds can be used to adjust lighting levels in areas where the natural lighting
changes significantly throughout the day.

7. SIGNAGE

Signs must be clear, concise, and consistent. All travelers need clear information
about the purpose and layout of terminals to maintain a sense of direction and
independent use of all facilities. Using internationally and nationally established
symbols and pictograms with clear lettering and Braille ensures universal
accessibility cutting across regional/cultural and language barriers. A cohesive
information and signage system can provide visual (e.g. signs, notice boards),
audible (e.g. public address and security systems, induction loops, telephones, and
infrared devices), and/ or tactile information (e.g. signs with embossed lettering or
Braille).

8. SIGN DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

The sign should be in a prominent position.


The face of the sign should be well-illuminated by natural or artificial light.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 5/23


CHAPTER 13 - DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

Letters should be simple such as Arial, Helvetica medium, and san serif or similar
and numbers should be Arabic.
The colour of the text should be in a colour that contrasts with the sign board.
The sign board should also contrast with the wall on which it is mounted.
The surface of the sign should not be reflective.
Some signs such as those adjacent to or on a toilet door may be embossed so that
they can be read by touch.
Illuminated signs should not use red text on a dark background.
Signs should be supplemented by Braille where possible.

Fig. 13.1 - Way finding signage Fig. 13.2 - International Symbol of Accessibility

9. AUTOMATED KIOSKS

vision impairments.
Operations should be easy to understand and operate for persons with learning
disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and elderly persons.

10. PUBLIC DEALING COUNTERS

Ticketing, Information, Check-in, Help desk, Restaurants, Shops, etc. should have
public dealing counters.
Information or help desks should be close to the terminal entrance, and highly
visible upon entering the terminal. In addition, they should be clearly identified and
accessible to both those who use wheelchairs and those who stand.
It should provide information in accessible formats, viz. Braille leaflets for persons
with vision impairments.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 6/23


CHAPTER 13 - DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

Ideally, these desks should have a map of the facility that desk attendants can view
with passengers, when providing directions.
Staff manning the counters should know sign language.
Information desk acoustics should be carefully planned and controlled as a high
level of background noise is confusing and disorienting to persons with hearing
impairment.
Lighting should be positioned to illuminate the receptionist/person manning the
counter and the desk top without creating glare.
Lighting should not create shadows over the receptionist staff, obscuring facial
detail and making lip reading difficult.
There should be a hearing enhancement system such as a loop induction unit, the
availability of which is clearly indicated with a symbol.
One of the counters should not be more than 800mm from the floor, with a
minimum clear knee space of 650mm high and 280mm- 300mm deep .

11. AUDIO-VISUAL DISPLAYS

Terminal maps should be placed so that they are readily visible to persons who are
standing and persons who use wheelchairs. They should also be accessible to
persons with a visual disability (i.e. tactile maps). Other alternatives include
electronic navigation systems or audio maps.
Enable captioning at all times on all televisions and other audiovisual displays that
are capable of displaying captions and that are located in any portion of the
terminal.
The captioning must be in high contrast for all information concerning travel safety,
ticketing, check-in, delays or cancellations, schedule changes, boarding information,
connections, checking baggage, individuals being paged by bus railway or airlines,
vehicle changes that affect the travel of persons with disabilities, and emergencies
(e.g., fire, bomb threat).

12. REST AREAS/SEATING

Seating area / benches should be provided along the circulation path at regular
intervals so that passengers do not need to walk more than 50 to 60 metres before
being able to sit and rest.
Where seating is provided, designated seating for passengers with disabilities is to
be provided at boarding gates and departure areas within viewing distance of
communication boards and/or personnel and identified by the symbol of access.
Public transit operators should provide seating in passenger service areas where
there may be long waiting lines or times, including at ticket sales counters, check-in
counters, secured screening and during inter-country travel in customs areas and
baggage retrieval areas.
Designated seating should be provided for at boarding gates and departure areas
within viewing distance of communication boards, and within hearing range of

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 7/23


CHAPTER 13 - DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

audio announcements as well. Such seating areas should be identified by the symbol
of accessibility and shelter should be provided where this seating is outdoors.
In outdoor settings, seating should be provided along with the planned hawker
spaces.
At waiting lounges for persons with disabilities chairs should have armrests and
backrest.

13. TACTILE PAVING- GUIDING & WARNING

(a) Tactile Guiding Paver (Line-Type)

It is recommended to install a row of tactile guidance paver along the entire length of the
proposed accessible route for visual impaired persons. Care must be taken to ensure that
there are no obstacles, such as wall, pillar, uneven surfaces, Soffit (underside /open area
under the stairs, along the route traversed by the guidance paver. Also, there should be
clear headroom of at least 2.1 meters height above the tactile guidance paver, free of
protruding objects such as overhanging advertisement panel and signage, along the entire
length of the walk.

(b) Tactile Warning Paver (Dot-Type)

Indicate an approaching potential hazard or a change in direction of the walkway, and serve
as a warning of the approaching danger to persons with visual impairments, preparing
them to tread cautiously and expect obstacles along the travel path, traffic intersections,
doorways, stairs, etc. They are used to screen off obstacles, drop-offs or other hazards, to
discourage movement in an incorrect direction, and to warn of a corner or junction. Two
rows of tactile warning paver should be installed across the entire width of the designated
accessible passenger pathway at appropriate places such as before intersections, terminal
entrances, obstacles such as signage, and each time the walkway changes direction.

14. PLACES TO INSTALL WARNING PAVER

In front of an area where traffic is present.

19. LIFTS/ELEVATORS

A carefully designed lift makes a huge contribution to the accessibility of a multi-storied


terminal building for persons with disabilities.

Lift locations should be clearly signposted from the main pedestrian route and
recognizable through design and location.
The colour and tone of the lift doors should contrast with the surrounding wall finish to
assist in their location. Lift doors with metallic finishes such as steel grey and silver
should be avoided as they are difficult to identify by persons with low vision.
The lift lobby shall be of an inside measurement of 1800mm X 2000mm or more. A
clear landing area in front of the lift doors of minimum dimensions 1500mm x 1500mm
should be provided.
By making the landing area distinguishable by floor surface and contrast, it will aid
location and recognition of core areas. This could comprise a change in floor finish from
thin carpet to vinyl/PVC, or cement/mosaic floor to carpet.
Changes in floor finish must be flushed. There should be no level difference between lift
door and the floor surface at each level; the gap if unavoidable should not be more than
12mm.
The floor level/location should be indicated on the wall adjacent to or just above the
call buttons, and opposite the lift doors where possible.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 12/23


CHAPTER 13 - DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

20. LIFT DIMENSIONS

Provisions of at least one lift shall be made for people using wheelchairs with the
following car dimensions:
o Clear internal depth -1500 mm minimum
o Clear internal width - 1500 mm minimum
o Entrance door width - 900 mm minimum

21. LIFT CONTROLS

The lift call button should be wall-mounted adjacent to the lift and should contrast with
wall finish, either by using a contrasting panel, or a contrasting border around the
button panel.
The call buttons should be located within the range 800-1000mm above floor finish.
Buttons should not be touch sensitive, but should require a light positive pressure and
should ideally be large enough to be operable by the palm of the hand if required.
The control buttons inside the lift should be positioned on the side wall rather than
front wall to allow access from the back and front of the lift car, by mobility aid users
like wheelchair users.
The control buttons should contrast with their surroundings and illuminate when
pressed and should incorporate highly visible tactile embossed (NOT engraved)
characters and in Braille.
Time of closing of an automatic door should be more than 5 seconds and the closing
speed should not exceed 25 meters per second. There should be a provision of censor
enabled closing.
In larger lifts, controls should be positioned on both side walls, at least 400mm from
front wall and between 800-1000mm above floor level.

22. CAR DESIGN

Internal walls should have a non-reflective, matt finish in a colour and tone contrasting
with the floor, which should also have a matt, non-slip finish.
Use of reflective materials such as metal (stainless steel for example) can be
problematic in creating sufficient contrast with control buttons, emergency telephone
cabinet, etc. for persons with low vision and the use of such materials should be
avoided wherever possible.
A mirror (750mm above floor level) on the rear wall can be useful to persons using
wheelchairs and other mobility aids should they need to reverse safely out of the lift car
or view the floor numbers.
Internal lighting should provide a level of illumination of minimum 100 lux
(approximately 50-75 lux at floor level), uniformly distributed, avoiding the use of
spotlights or down lighters.

CHAPTER 13 - DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

1500mm x 1500mm in front of the WC and washbasin.

4. WATER CLOSET (WC) FITTINGS

Top of the WC seat should be 450-480mm above finished floor level, preferably be of
wall hung or corbel type as it provides additional space at the toe level.
An unobstructed space 900mm wide should be provided to one side of the WC for
transfer, together with a clear space 1200mm deep in front of the WC.
WC should be centred 500mm away from the side wall, with the front edge of the pan
750mm away from the back wall. Have a back support. The WC with a back support
should not incorporate a lid, since this can hinder transfer.
L-shape grab bar at the adjacent wall and on the transfer side (open side) swing up
grab bar shall be provided.
The cistern should have a lever flush mechanism, located on the transfer side and not
on the wall side and not more than 1000mm from the floor.

5. GRAB BARS

Grab bars should be manufactured from a material which contrasts with the wall finish
(or use dark tiles behind light colored rails), be warm to touch and provide good grip.
It is essential that all grab rails are adequately fixed, since considerable pressure will be
placed on the rail during maneuvering. Grab bars should sustain weight of 200kgs
minimum.
A hinged type moveable grab bar should be installed adjacent to the WC on the transfer
side. This rail can incorporate a toilet tissue holder. A distance of 320mm from the
centre line of the WC between heights of 200-250mm from the top of the WC seat. It
should extend 100-150mm beyond the front of the WC.
A fixed wall-mounted L- shape grab bar (600mm long horizontal and 700mm long
vertical) on the wall side should be provided. It should be placed at a height of 200-
250mm above the WC seat level.

6. WASHBASINS

Hand washbasins should be fitted on cantilevered brackets fixed to the wall.


The basin should be fixed no higher than 750mm above the finished floor level.
Be of dimensions 520mm and 410mm, mounted such that the top edge is between 800-
900mm from the floor; have a knee space of at least 760mm wide by 200mm deep by
650-680mm high.
The position of the basin should not restrict access to the WC i.e. it should be located
900mm away from the WC.
A lever operated mixer tap fitted on the side of the basin closest to the WC is useful as it
allows hot and cold water to be used from a seated position on the WC.
The hand drying facilities should be located close to the hand washbasin between
1000-1200mm.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 15/23


CHAPTER 13 - DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

Lever type handles for taps are recommended.


Mirrors bottom edge to be 1000mm from the floor and may be inclined at an angle.

7. FIXTURES AND FITTINGS

Contrast between fittings and fixtures and wall or floor finishes will assist in their
location. For example, using contrasting fittings, or dark tiles behind white hand
washbasins and urinals, contrasting soap dispensers and toilet roll holders. Contrast
between critical surfaces, e.g. floors, walls and ceilings helps to define the dimensions of
the room.
Towel rails, rings and handrails should be securely fixed to the walls and positioned at
800-1000mm from the floor.
The mirror should be tilted at an angle of 300 for better visibility by wheelchair users.
It should have lower edge at 1000mm above floor finish and top edge around 1800mm
above floor finish.
Hooks should be available at both lower-1200mm and standard heights- 1400mm,
projecting not more than 40mm from the wall.
Where possible, be equipped with a shelf of dimensions 400mm x 200mm fixed at a
height of between 900mm and 1000mm from the floor.
Light fittings should illuminate the user's face without being visible in the mirror. For
this reason, most units which have an integral light are unsatisfactory.
Large, easy to operate switches are recommended, contrasting with background to
assist location, at a maximum height of 1000mm above floor finish.
All toilet facilities should incorporate visual fire alarms.
Alarms must be located so that assistance can be summoned both when on the toilet
pan i.e. at 900mm height and lying on the floor i.e. at 300mm, from floor surface.
Alarms should be located close to the side wall nearest the toilet pan, 750mm away
from rear wall and at 900mm and 200mm above floor finish

8. SIGNAGE OF ACCESSIBLE TOILETS

All unisex accessible toilets to have access symbol in contrast colours. A distinct audio
sound (beeper/clapper) may be installed above the entrance door for identification of
the toilets.

CHAPTER 13 - DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

13.10 EMERGENCY EGRESS/EVACUATION

Placement (accessibility) and visibility of such devices is very important. The following
is to be considered for the installation of such alarm devices; fire alarm boxes,
emergency call buttons and lit panels should be installed between heights of 800mm
and 1000mm from the furnished floor surface. These should be adequately contrasted
from the background wall and should be labelled with raised letters and should also be
in Braille.

A pre-recorded message, alerting an emergency to the control room or reception
should be installed in the telephone and this should be accessible by a hotkey on the
phone keypad. This hotkey should be distinct from the rest of the keypad.

13.11 ALERTING SYSTEMS

In emergency situations, it is critical that people are quickly alerted to the situation at
hand, for persons with disability the following needs to be considered.

Consider having audible alarms with voice instructions that can help guide them to the
nearest emergency exit. As an alternative to the pre-recorded messages, these alarms
may be connected to the central control room for on-the-spot broadcasts.

Non-auditory alarms (visual or sensory) to alert persons with hearing impairments
should be installed at visible locations in all areas that the passengers may use
(including toilet areas, etc).

Non-auditory alarms include:

Flashing beacons
Vibrating pillows and vibrating beds.
Pagers or mobile phones that give out a vibrating alarm along with a flashing light
(these may be issued to persons with vision or hearing impairments at the time of
check-in or boarding the vehicle.)

13.12 WRITTEN EVACUATION PROCEDURE

A written evacuation procedure that details the egress plan for people with disability
should be installed behind the entrance door in the accessible rest rooms. The evacuation
procedure should be detailed in large print letters that contrast strongly against the
background. Where possible, it should also incorporate raised letters and Braille. The
evacuation route should be displayed on a high contrast tactile map for benefit of persons
with vision impairments.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 18/23


CHAPTER 13 - DISABLED FRIENDLY FEATURES

13.13 EMERGENCY EVACUATION ROUTE

Designate routes that are at least 1200mm wide, to ensure that a person using a
wheelchair and a non disabled person are able to pass each other along the route. The
route should be free of any steps or sudden changes in level and should be kept free
from obstacles such as furniture, coolers, AC units and flower pots.

Use Exit signage along the route. Orientation and direction signs should be installed
frequently along the evacuation route and these should preferably be internally
illuminated. The exit door signage should also be internally illuminated.

A way guidance lighting system consisting of low mounted LED strips to outline the
exit route (with frequent illuminated direction indicators along the route) should be
installed along the entire length of the evacuation route. Way guidance systems allow
persons with vision impairments to walk significantly faster than traditional overhead
emergency lighting. Moreover, emergency exit lights in green color and directional
signals mounted near the floor have been found to be useful for all people in cases
where a lot of smoke is present.

13.14 WAY GUIDANCE SYSTEM

ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

14.1 INTRODUCTION

The historic city of Ahmedabad is becoming the increasing opportunities for trade and
commerce and as a center for higher education, the population of the city is already
touching 6 million and this heavy growth continues. Being thickly populated area,
Ahmadabads traffic needs cannot be met by only road-based system. With projected
increase in the population of the city, strengthening and augmenting of transport
infrastructure has assumed urgency. For this purpose provision of Rail-based Metro
system in the city has been considered.

Metro-Link Express for Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad (MEGA) Company Ltd intends to
implement Phase 1 of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project with international/multilateral
funding from lending agencies like JICA. Phase 1 comprises of the revised North-South
corridor from APMC to Motera along existing railway line and the East-West corridor
from Thaltej to Vastral. The East-West corridor provides connectivity between
residential areas in the western part of Ahmedabad and Industrial areas in the eastern
part and passes through old city and Ashram Road.

The objective of the study is to facilitate the Metro Link Express for Gandhinagar and
Ahmedabad (MEGA) in preparation of EIA report as per the requirement of regulatory
agencies and funding agency JICA. The scope of EIA includes the impacts resulting from
pre-construction, construction and operation phases of E-W & N-S corridor, Depot and
sub-stations. The EIA is based on detailed field reconnaissance surveys, inventories and
available secondary information.

The MoEF, Government of India, Notification of 14th September 2006 and its amendment
enlist projects in Schedule that require environmental clearance. However as per the
said notification a metro project does not require environmental clearance from MoEF.

14.2 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 1/19


CHAPTER 14 - ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

DPR 2005: Detailed Project Report was prepared by DMRC for Gandhinager-
Ahmedabad Metro rail in the year 2005. This alignment proposed by DMRC (2005) did
not consider BRTS as it was not planned at that time. Besides recommending 43.46 km
long north south and - east west network, also suggested 53.47 km long regional rail
network. The entire DMRC network, except 3 km near Kalupur railway station, was
envisaged to be elevated. DMRC DPR provides ridership estimates with as well as
without regional rail.

DPR February 2014: Alignment of North South line was as follows: Depot at Gyaspur,
line starting from APMC to Motera along Ashram Road. However this alignment involves
diversion of underground utilities and traffic management during construction.

Proposed Alignment: Two following corridors have been identified for Ahmadabad
Metro Rail Project network (Phase 1)

a) East-West Corridor: The East-West corridor alignment covers Thaltej to Vastral


which provides east to west connectivity and passes through important nodes of
Kalupur, Ashram road, Thaltej and Industrial areas on the east of Ahmedabad.
Length of corridor is 19.435 km with 17 number of stations out of which 6.335 km
stretch is underground.

b) North-South Corridor: The proposed metro alignment provides north-south


connectivity from Motera to APMC running along existing Metre Guage railway line
and road. Length of corridor is 17.493 km (including depot connection) with 15
number of stations.

Proposed sites for Depot: It is proposed to establish one depot- cum- workshop at
Gyaspur (25.2 Hac) for North South Corridor and one depot- cum- workshop at Apparel
Park (19.5 Hac) for East West Corridor.

Power Requirements: The power requirement is for peak hour demand for traction
and auxiliary application. The power requirement for both traction and auxiliary
application will be 11.53 MVA in year 2018 for North south corridor while 23.43 MVA
for East-West corridor. It is proposed to avail power supply from M/s Torrent AEC Ltd
from its 132 kv sub-station.

Construction Period & Cost: It is proposed to complete the project in a time period of
60 months. The completion cost of the project with all taxes, escalation & land comes to
Rs 11487.00 Crore.

14.3 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE OF THE PROJECT AREA

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 2/19


CHAPTER 14 - ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The establishment of the baseline environmental status of the project influence area
helps to predict the magnitude of impacts that are likely to be caused due to the
proposed improvements of the project road. It also helps to identify critical
environmental attributes required to be monitored during and after the proposed
developments.

Physiography: Ahmedabad is lies between 2255' & 2308' North latitude and 7230' &
7242' East longitudes with an elevation of 53 m above msl. Sabarmati River is one of
the longest rivers of Gujarat State, bifurcates the Ahmedabad city into eastern and
western parts. The state of Gujarat can be broadly classified into following three
physiographic regions i.e Mainland of Gujarat, Peninsular Gujarat and Kutch Area of
Gujarat. The district of Ahmedabad and the project area falls in Mainland Gujarat.

Geology and Mineralogy: The Gujarat state exposes rocks belonging to the Pre-
cambrian, Mesozoic and Cenozoic era. The hard rock comprises Pre cambrian
metamorphosed and associated intrusives, sedi- mantry rocks of Mesozoic and Cenozoic
eras and the traps/flows constituting Deccan volcanic of Cretaceous Eocene age. The
major portion of the Ahmedabad district is covered by recent and sub-recent
formations. The area is almost flat, covered by brown sandy and clayey soil and has a
gentle southerly and south westerly slope. The geotechnical investigation of study
shows that, the project site area is covered with deep layers recently placed alluvial
sands.

The important economic minerals available in the district are sand, kankar, gravel, brick
earth and limestone. The Sabarmati River is the main source for the production of sand,
kankar and gravel.

Soil Characteristics: The proposed project area falls in North Gujarat Region of very
deep soil to moderately deep soil. The nature of the soil in Ahmedabad district is brown
sandy and clayey soil. A major texture of the soil in the region is 'Loamy'.

Ambient Air Quality: The prime objective of baseline air quality survey was to assess
the ambient air quality of the area. Air quality monitoring was carried out at E-W and N-
E corridor by collecting 24 hourly samples for 1 day at 12 locations for parameters PM10,
PM2.5, SO2, NO2, NH3, Pb, and HC; and 8 hourly samples for 1 day at 12 locations for
Parameters CO and O3. The air quality monitoring results indicates that all parameters
were noted within the limits for residential areas except PM10 and PM2.5 because of the
road traffic.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 3/19


CHAPTER 14 - ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Noise Levels: Noise levels were recorded on hourly basis for 24 hours at 12 locations in
order to have an assessment of the Day and Night time noise levels. Leq for day and
night at Sabarmati railway station exceeds the National Ambient Noise Standards for
Commercial Zone and Leq for day time at Gujarat University, Shahpur, Kalupur Railway
Station and Sabarmati exceeds the standards for commercial zone. The main source of
noise in the project area is the traffic movement on the road.

Vibration Levels: The source of the vibration is due to operation of Tunnel Boring
Machine (TBM) during construction of tunnel. Vibration induced by the metro train
during operation is mainly due to the rolling stock, track and the interaction between
them. Vibration monitoring was carried out at 12 locations at both corridors in
September 2014. Out of which 9 locations were selected on East-West corridor including
7 Archaeological Monuments at underground section (i.e Shahpur Kazi Md Chisti
Mosque, Delhi Darwaja, Qutubiddin Shah Mosque, Muhafiz Khan Mosque, Rani Rupamati
Mosque, Kalupur Darwaja and Brick Minar) and 2 locations (i.e Doordarshan Tower &
Vastral) at structures falling near to the proposed Metro corridor. 3 locations were
selected at North-South corridor (i.e, The Silver Arc apartment near Ellis Bridge,
Navrangpura near Ashram Road & Akhbar Nagar). The study has been conducted for 24
hours vibration level monitoring at each location. The field measured Vertical Vibration
level is in the range of 0.2 to 2.0 mm/s and the maximum 2.0 mm/s vibration level were
observed at Kalupur Darwaza and Navrangpura. The peak values at these locations are
because of passing of heavy vehicles on nearby road.

Archaeological Monuments: The city of Ahmedabad has plenty of archaeological and


historical monuments, which serve as the main tourist attraction destinations of the city.
As discussed at section vibration level, 7 historical monuments were studied for
anticipated impact due to proposed underground section of alignment.

As per The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (Amendment and
Validation) Act, 2010; prohibited area is an area beginning at the limit of the protected
area or the protected monument, and extending to a distance of 100 m in all directions;
and regulated area is the area beginning at the limit of the prohibited area in respect of
every ancient monument and archaeological site and remains and extending to a
distance of two hundred meters in all directions. The proposed underground section of
East-West alignment is not passing within the 100 m of prohibited area; however the
alignment is passing within the 200m of regulated area around these monuments. Prior
approval is required for construction activities in a regulated area of these monuments
from Director, Archaeology, Archaeological Survey of India, Gandhinagar.

Ecological Environment: An ecological study of the ecosystem is essential to


understand the impact due to project development activities on the existing flora and
fauna of the area. Inventory of trees was carried out along the Metro alignment &

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 4/19


CHAPTER 14 - ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Depots. No Protected area such as National park or Wildlife sanctuary is located within
10 km distance from the either side of both the alignment.

Flora: Total number of trees observed along the alignment, station & depots is around
1638 in which 501 number of trees at East-West alignment and 1137 at North-South
alignment. Gulmohar (Delonix religa), (Neem) Azadirachta indica and (Peepal tree) Ficus
religiosa are the most widely distributed trees along the project alignment.

Fauna: Common birds observed in the project area are pigeons, crows, pelican and
doves. The domestic animals in the project area consist of cows, bullocks, sheep, goats
and dogs.

Sensitive Receptor: sensitive receptor like school, colleges, hospitals, place of worship
within 100 m on either side of E-W and N-S alignment is workout. About 93 sensitive
receptors on East-West corridor and 42 sensitive receptors on North-South corridor
were observed.

14.4 NEGATIVE IMPACTS DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

The environmental hazards related to construction works are mostly of temporary


nature. Appropriate measures should be included in the work plan and budgeted for.
The most likely negative impacts related to the construction works are: -

Soil erosion: minor impact on soil erosion due to runoff from unprotected excavated
areas may result in soil erosion, especially when erodibility of soil is high. Problems
could arise from dumping of construction soils (concrete, bricks), waste materials (from
contractors camp) etc. causing surface and ground water pollution.

Traffic diversion: During construction period, partial traffic diversions on road will be
required, as most of the construction is to be carried out on the middle of the road.

Muck disposal: The construction of tunneling activity will generate about 16,03,000 m3
of muck. The muck will be transported up to nearest proposed option. Being the good
road condition in Ahmedabad, the dust generation due to transportation of muck will be
insignificant.

Trees: Total number of trees on both the alignment is 1638.


East-West corridor: 501 trees (279 at alignment & 222 at Apparel Park Depot)
North-South corridor: 1137 trees (1112 at alignment & 25 at Giyaspur Depot.

Increased water demand: The water requirement during construction of project will
be 327.50 KLD which includes labour camps, drinking and construction activities.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 5/19


CHAPTER 14 - ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Labour camp: The water requirement at camps and construction site will be 63 KLD
and 20.5 KLD respectively. Waste water generation will be 66.8 KLD. Municipal solid
waste generation will be 315 Kg per day.

Loss of Historical and Cultural Monuments: No historical/cultural monuments will be


affected/ damaged as a result of the proposed development.

Construction near Archeological Structures: No Archeological Monuments are


directly affected. Some of the Archeological Monuments are close to the proposed metro
alignment near underground section. The Archaeological Monuments at underground
section of the corridor are outside prohibited area of 100 meter but passing within 200
meter of regulated area.

Ground and Surface Water: Insignificant impact will be anticipated on surface water
for the elevated section of the Metro. For underground section, as a precautionary
measure, detailed hydrological investigation will be undertaken prior to the
construction of tunnel to locate the ground water aquifer falling in the alignment of
metro tunnel and to safeguard the ground water flow wherever feasible.

Air Pollution: The monitoring results of pollutants such as NO2, SO2 and CO are much
below the national standards (NAAQS, CPCB) and dust concentrations monitored are 1.3
2.2 times higher than the standard value. Hence, dust could be the problem when the
project is under construction.

Noise Pollution: The major sources of noise pollution during construction are
movement of vehicles for transportation of construction material and the construction
machinery/equipment at the construction site. The construction activities are expected
to produce noise levels in the range of 104 - 109 dB (A) at source which decreases with
increase in distance. Exposure to noise may lead to complete hearing loss, tension,
fatigue, fast pulse/ respiration rates, dizziness & loss of balance, anger, irritation & in
extreme case nervousness.

Impact due to Vibration: Directorate General of Mines and Safety (DGMS) prescribed
permissible limit of ground vibration (INDIA). The permissible limit of ground vibration
considered here at frequency 8-25 Hz for

Domestic houses/structures -- 10 mm/s


Objects of historical importance & sensitive structures -- 5 mm/s
As per the results of vibration study, the archeological structures are at safe distance
and the there would be no vibration impact on these structures due to TBM tunneling.
However, the predicted vertical vibration above tunnel is reaches 5 mm/s which can
damage the structures. Precautionary measures needs to be taken during construction.

Health risk at construction site: Health risks include accidents due to improper
construction practice and hazard diseases due to lack of sanitation facilities (i.e., water
supply and human waste disposal).

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 6/19


CHAPTER 14 - ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Impact on Sensitive Receptors: About 135 numbers of sensitive receptors identified


within 100 m on either side of both the alignment. The major impacts to the sensitive
receptors are due to noise and vibration.

14.5 NEGATIVE IMPACTS DURING OPERATION PHASE

Noise Pollution: The cumulative noise on the elevated route alignment will be more
than the Noise Standards for Commercial area (National Ambient Noise Standards) of 65
db(A) due to the traffic and noise levels from the metro operations.

Vibration Impact due to train: The vibration level due to train operation will be in the
range 0.062 to 1.0 mm/s. There would be no vibration impact on any structures due to
train operation.

Water Supply and Sanitation: About 8192 KLD of water will be required for drinking,
toilet, cleaning and also for other purpose like AC, chiller etc during operation phase.

14.6 IMPACTS DUE TO DEPOT

The depot location at Apparel Park (19.5 hac) is planned for East-West corridor and at
Giyaspur (25.2 hac) for North-South metro corridor.

Water Supply: About 123 KLD of fresh water will be required at Depot for different
uses by considering train washing requirement of 500 litres per day.

Waste water: About 38.4 KLD of waste water will be generated from each Depots (
Apparel Park & Giyaspur Depot). Hence total waste water generation from both depots
will be about 76.80 KLD.

Oil Pollution: Spillage of oil & grease will be possible due to various maintenance
activities at depot.

Noise Pollution: The roughness of the contact surfaces of rail, wheel and train speed is
the factors, which influence the magnitude of rail - wheel noise. The vibration of
concrete structures also radiates noise.

Solid Waste: About 1.8 Ton per month of solid waste will be generated from the Depot.
Hence, solid waste generated from both the corridor will be 3.6 Ton per month.

Trees: About 222 numbers of trees are observed at Apparel Park Depot and about 25
trees at Giyaspur Depot. The details of tree likely to be cut and transplanted are given in
the Environmental Management Plan.

14.7 POTENTIAL POSITIVE IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 7/19


CHAPTER 14 - ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Employment Opportunities: About 5,000 persons are likely to work during peak
period of construction activities. In operation phase about 1,388 persons (35
persons/Km length of the corridor) will be employed for operation and maintenance of
the proposed system.

Benefit to Economy: Introduction of proposed metro rail project, in Ahmedabad city


will result in the reduction in number of buses and private vehicles. This, in turn will
result in significant social and economic benefits due to reduction in fuel consumption,
vehicle operating cost and travel time of passengers. This will facilitate the movement of
people fast.

Safety: Operation of Ahmedabad Metro Rail will provide improved safety and lower the
number of accidental deaths.

Traffic Noise Reduction: An introduction of Ahmedabad Metro Rail substantially


reduces the vehicular traffic which ultimately reduces noise level.

Traffic Congestion Reduction: The proposed development will reduce journey time
and hence congestion and delay.

Reduction in the number of Vehicle Trips on the road: There will be about 46%
percent reduction in number of vehicle-kilometres trips for Business as usual Scenario.

Reduced Air Pollution: The metro is least polluting and can be classified as an
environment friendly technology since no air emissions are involved in running and
operating the metro trains. Reduction in traffic on Ahmedabad roads due to proposed
metro rail could lead to reduce air pollution.

Carbon Credits: Carbon credit revenue with present price (INR) will be 14.90 lakh,
21.60 lakh, 30.68 lakh and 41.34 lakh in year 2018, 2021, 2031 and 2043 respectively by
considering approximate 53 gm of carbon-di-oxide (CO2e) for every trip of 1 km.

14.8 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Soil Erosion Control: Prior to the start of the construction, the Contractor shall submit
his schedules to the MEGA for carrying out temporary and permanent
erosion/sedimentation control works. Visual monitoring will be carried out during

construction of temporary berms, dikes, sediment basins, slope drains and use of
temporary mulches, fabrics, mats, seeding, or other control devices or methods will help
to control erosion and sedimentation.

Traffic Diversion/ Management: Traffic Diversion Plans are required in order to look
for options and remedial measures so as to mitigate any traffic congestion situations
arising out due to acquisition of road space during Metro construction. In order to retain
satisfactory levels of traffic flow during the construction period; traffic management and
engineering measures need to be taken. They can be road widening exercises, traffic
segregation, one-way movements, traffic diversions on influence area roads, acquisition
of service lanes, etc. The contractor will hire a transportation consultant that carryout
the traffic survey and suggest alternative routes for smooth flow of traffic.

Muck Disposal: About 16,03,000 cubic meters of excavated soils will be generated from
the construction of tunnel work. Muck will be disposed by adopting pre-identified
options
Vastral Gam-0.4 Million m3,
Ahmedabad Riverfront Improvement Project- 1.2 Million m3.

Accordingly cost estimate for muck disposal has been prepared. The cost required for
dumping of excavated muck will be 3589.45 Lakh.

Compensatory Afforestation: About 1638 trees are observed at alignment and Depot
locations in which 396 trees likely to be cut and 1142 trees will be transplanted. About
100 numbers of trees in depots area will remain as where it is. As per estimation, 396
trees are likely to be cut for which 3960 trees are required to be planted. The
compensation for loss of these trees works out to Rs. 87.12 Lakh @ Rs. 2200 per tree.
The cost for transplanting 1142 number of trees is about Rs. 571 Lakh @ Rs. 50,000/-
per tree. Permission will be required from the Park and Garden Department of
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), Gujarat for the tree cutting in the project
area.

Water Supply, Sanitation and Solid Waste Management: Requirements of drinking water
supply at station are about 6 KL/day. Raw water requirement for station is about 240-250
KL/Day. The water requirement at Depot will be 123 KLD. This shall be provided from

will have facilities like Shelter at Workplace, Canteen Facilities, First aid facilities, Day
Crche Facilities, Sanitation Facilities and Solid Waste Management.

Archaeological and Historical Structure Preservation: No damage to Archeological


Monuments is anticipated. Prior to the initiation of construction, MEGA will conduct
building condition survey of structures in the vicinity of U/G alignment. This survey will
help to identify the impact on the structures during construction and operation of the
project. The management plan will include ground vibration monitoring during
construction and operation of project.

Air Pollution Control Measures: During the construction period, the impact on air
quality will be mainly due to increase in Particulate Matter (PM) along haul roads and
emission from vehicles and construction machinery. All the vehicles, machinery and
equipments to be engaged for the construction work shall be attached with the latest,
advanced pollution control measures available in the country and those shall conform to
the relevant Indian standards. Contractor shall install barriers around the open
construction sites before commencing the work. The Contractor shall sprinkle water at

washing and/or vehicle cleaning facility at the exits from work sites.

Noise Control Measures: There will be an increase in noise level due to construction of
the proposed Metro corridors. The increases in levels are marginal; hence local
population will not be adversely affected. However the exposure of workers to high
noise levels especially, near the engine, vent shaft etc, need to be minimized. This could
be achieved by: Job rotation to the extent possible, Automation, Construction of
permanent and temporary noise barriers, Acoustic enclosures should be provided for
individual noise generating construction equipment and the workers exposed to noise
should be provided with protective devices.

Rubber pads to reduce track noise and ground vibrations. Noise barriers arrangement at
all station location, curves and at closely located areas will be provided so as to reduce
sound levels. The cost for noise barriers is workout as Rs. 4716.00 Lakh. Regular
greasing of tracks on sharp curves can reduce noise.

Vibration Control Measures: An actual vibration impact shall be carried out prior to
the start of construction and during the construction on the basis of detailed soil
investigation and TBM activities involved. Detailed geotechnical investigation is
required prior to the tunnel construction. By adopting good construction practices,
generation of vibration will be controlled during construction.

The estimated cost required for Building Condition Survey for surrounding structures at
tunneling area is work out to be Rs. 158 Lakh @ Rs. 25 Lakh per Kilometer.

into the ground. The ground water will need treatment depending upon its use. Domestic
and some of the industrial application, a Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant of 8 liter/ minute
capacity will be appropriate. The estimated cost of water supply plant is about Rs.50 Lakh.

Sewage/Effluent Pollution Control: About 76.40 KLD of sewage/effluent is likely


to be generated from both depots. It will be treated by providing 100 KLD effluent
treatment plant at each depot. The sewage could be treated up to the level so that it
could be used for horticulture purpose in the campus and can be discharged into the
nearby drainage system of AMC. The estimated cost of sewage/effluent treatment
plant is about Rs.60 Lakh.

Oil Pollution Control: Oil and grease removal tank has to be installed at initial stage
of effluent treatments. This accumulated oil and grease will be disposed off through
approved re-cyclers.

Solid Waste Disposal: About 3.6 Ton per month of solid waste will be generated from the
Depot which will disposed to the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation waste disposal sites in
accordance with relevant National and State laws and regulations.

Green belt development: The greenbelt development / plantation in the depot area
acts as pollution sink / noise barrier. It is recommended to have a provision of Rs 40
Lakh in the cost estimate for the green belt development. Treated sewage and effluent
in the best combination should be used for green belt development.

CHAPTER 15 - SECURITY MEASURES FOR A METRO SYSTEM

Chapter -15

SECURITY MEASURES FOR A METRO SYSTEM

15.1 INTRODUCTION

Metro is emerging as the most favoured mode of urban transportation system. The
inherent characteristics of metro system make it an ideal target for terrorists and
miscreants. Metro systems are typically open and dynamic systems which carry
thousands of commuters. Moreover the high cost of infrastructure, its economic
impotence, being the life line of city high news value, fear & panic and man casual ties
poses greater threat to its security. Security is a relatively new challenge in the context
of public transport. It addresses problems caused intentionally. Security differs from
safety which addresses problems caused accidentally. Security problems or threats are
caused by people whose actions aim to undermine or disturb the public transport
system and/or to harm passengers or staff. These threats range from daily operational
security problems such as disorder, vandalism and assault to the terrorist threat.

15.2 NECESSSITY OF SECURITY

It is well known that public transportation is increasingly important for urban areas to
prosper in the face of challenges such as reducing congestion and pollution. Therefore,
security places an important role in helping public transport system to become the mode
of choice. Therefore, excellence in security is a prerequisite for Metro system for
increasing its market share. Metro railway administration must ensure that security
model must keep pace rapid expansion of the metro and changing security scenario.

15.3 THREE PILLARS OF SECURITY

Security means protection of physical. Human and intellectual assets either from
criminal interference, removal of destruction by terrorists or criminals or incidental to
technological failures or natural hazardous events. There are three important pillars of
security as mentioned under:

(i) The human factor;


(ii) Procedures; and
(iii) Technology

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 1/4


CHAPTER 15 - SECURITY MEASURES FOR A METRO SYSTEM

Staff engaging with the passengers creates a sense of re-assurance which cannot fully be
achieved by technology. For human factor to be more effective staff has to be qualified,
trained, well equipped and motivated. They should be trained, drilled and tested. The
security risk assessment is the first step for understanding the needs and prioritizing
resources. The organization of security should be clear and consistent. Security
incidents, especially major ones, often happen without warning. Emergency and
contingency plans must be developed communicated and drilled in advance.

There are number of technologies which can be used to enhance security e.g.
surveillance systems. The objectives of the security systems are to differ i.e., making
planning or execution of on attack too difficult, detect the planned evidence before it
occurs deny the access after in plan of attack has been made and to mitigate i.e. lessen
the impact severity as the attack by appropriate digits.

15.4 PHASES OF SECURITY

There are three phases of security as under:

(i) Prevention

These are the measures which can prevent a security incidence from taking place. These
can be identified by conducting a risk assessment and gathering intelligence. Prevention
begins with the daily operational security -problems. Uncared for dirty, damaged
property is a breeding ground for more serious crime.

(ii) Preparedness

Plans must be prepared to respond to incidents, mitigate the impact. Train staff
accordingly and carry out exercises. The results of the risk assessment give a basis for
such plans.

(iii) Recovery

Transport system must have laid down procedures/instructions for the quick recovery
of normal service after an incident. Recovery is important for the financial health of the
operation, but it also sends a clear message to public, it reassures passengers and gives
them confidence to continue using the system. Communication is key to the quick
restoration after such incidents. Restoration should ^also include an evaluation process
for the lessons learnt.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT MEASURES

16.1 INTRODUCTION

Disaster is a crisis that results in massive damage to life and property, uproots the physical
and psychological fabric of the affected communities and outstrips the capacity of the local
community to cope with the situation. Disasters are those situations which cause acute
distress to passengers, employees and outsiders and may even be caused by external
factors. As per the disaster management act, 2005 "disaster" means a catastrophe, mishap,
calamity or grave occurrence in any area, arising from natural or manmade causes, or by
accident or negligence which results in substantial loss of life or human suffering or damage
to, and destruction of, property, or damage to, or degradation of, environment, and is of such a
nature or magnitude as to be beyond the coping capacity of the community of the affected
area. As per world health organisation (who):
Any occurrence that causes damage, economic disruption, loss of human life and
deterioration of health and services on a scale sufficient to warrant an extra ordinary response
from outside the affected community or area.

A disaster is a tragic event, be it natural or manmade, which brings sudden and immense
agony to humanity and disrupts normal life. It causes large scale human suffering due to
loss of life, loss of livelihood, damages to property and persons and also brings untold
hardships. It may also cause destruction to infrastructure, buildings, communication
channels essential services, etc.

16.2 NEED FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT MEASURES

The effect of any disaster spread over in operational area of Ahmedabad Metro is likely to
be substantial as MEGA deals with thousands of passengers daily in underground tunnels,
viaducts and stations. Disaster brings about sudden and immense misery to humanity and
disrupts normal human life in its established social and economic patterns. It has the
potential to cause large scale human suffering due to loss of life, loss of livelihood, damage
to property, injury and hardship. It may also cause destruction or damage to infrastructure,
buildings and communication channels of Metro. Therefore there is an urgent need to
provide for an efficient disaster management plan.

CHAPTER 17 MULTI MODAL TRAFFIC INTEGRATION AT METRO STATIONS

Chapter - 17
MULTI MODAL TRAFFIC INTEGRATION
AT METRO STATIONS
17.1 BACKGROUND
The proposed metro in Ahmedabad has two corridors totaling 37.72 km and 32 stations,
including terminal stations. It traverses across the city in the north-south and east-west
direction and along its path covers many important origins and destinations. However, its
reach will not be enough to reach all origins and destinations. Fortunately, Ahmedabad has
planned for a multi-modal system, where the proposed metro complements the existing BRTS
and AMTS services. The need is now to ensure that people have safe, comfortable and secure
access to the above modes as well as seamless integration facilities.

Ahmedabad has already planned for a network of 116 km of BRTS across the city. This is
expected to carry over 5 lakh passengers daily. At present, 67 km is operational with a
ridership of 1.4 lakh. The remaining 49 km is under construction and is expected to be
completed in stages by 2015.

The AMTS, which is a much older service, has a fleet of close to 800 buses and operates over
150 routes. It has a daily ridership of close to 7 lakh. As the BRTS expands, the AMTS routes
are being rationalized to avoid major overlaps and expand into new, upcoming suburbs of
Ahmedabad. They are also expected to act as feeders to the BRTSand AMTS. A new proposal
by the AMTS calls for moving away from the traditional destination oriented services to
direction based services. Accordingly, new routes have been proposed, consisting of 16
radial and 3 ring routes, running at high frequency.

The Centre of Excellence in Urban Transport, CEPT University has been commissioned by
MEGA to undertake a study on last mile connectivity for proposed metro corridor. The Last
Mile Connectivity refers to the provision of travel service from home or workplace to the
nearest public transportation mode. A trip is considered as the entire journey between origin
and destination. Commuters may utilize and combine different modes of transport for the
entire trip. Metro or BRTS may cater to a majority of this kind of trip, but commuters always
need to complete the access and egress part on their own.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 1/56


CHAPTER 17 MULTI MODAL TRAFFIC INTEGRATION AT METRO STATIONS

Figure 1: Components of trip

Map 1: Proposed Metro corridor


The map above shows the metro corridors proposed in phase 1. Along with the BRTS and
AMTS, it is expected that the mode share of public transit in Ahmedabad will increase from
the present 15% to 53% by 2043. However, there is a need to ensure that these three
systems are integrated in such a manner that the commuter gets benefit of single trip
through fare integration as well enjoys a seamless physical transition from one mode to
another. Along with this, there is a need to ensure that last mile connectivity through
pedestrian and bicycle facilities are enhanced.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 2/56


CHAPTER 17 MULTI MODAL TRAFFIC INTEGRATION AT METRO STATIONS

This chapter will look at concepts of last mile connectivity along with multi-modal
integration, and identify key interchange locations that need to be identified in Ahmedabad
keeping in mind present and future demand and potential.

The cost requirement for such facilities would also be estimated at block costs level to get
an idea of the funds required.

17.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVES


The aim of this study is to suggest measures to increase last mile connectivity for metro
users and to integrate metro with other modes of transit. The specific objectives are:
To suggest measures that provide local destinations with safe, comfortable and convenient
accessibility to Metro stations
To propose design guidelines for local street environment
To propose conceptual designs that will maximize benefits and efficiency of interchanges

17.3 CURRENT ISSUES


Last mile connectivity actually impacts on overall ridership and usage of any mass transit
system. It is essential to provide or improve last mile connectivity and link them for ease of
access for users. Even if street infrastructure that comprises of last mile connectivity falls
outside Metro or BRTs jurisdiction and control, they remain critical components of an
effective public transportation. The easier it is to access the Metro or BRT, the more likely
people are to use it. Data from the BRTS shows that 65% of its commuters walk to and fro
from its stations. It also means that access beyond the initial 400-500m is not comfortable
enough to attract people onto the BRTS.The unavailability of this type of service is one of
the main restraints to the use of public transport in urban areas.

17.4 METHODOLOGY
Currently, the default solutions to the LMC are walking, taking an auto, driving a private
vehicle or taking a ride. This can be integrated with other mode of travel as well as feeder
services. This perception put last mile connectivity at different levels. These levels can be
identified in three different stratums.
1. The access to the station can be improveddrastically by creating better pedestrian and NMT
infrastructure around the station area. The planning of such street infrastructure can be
done through Local Area Access Plan. (LAAP)
2. The connectivity for mass transit system can be expanded by providing dedicated
integrated feeder systems to the surrounding areas. Providing integrated feeder services to
the stations as well as integrating with the existing public transport network will expand
the catchment and accessibility of the stations
3. Integration of NMT, para transit, feeder services and other public transport modes with
metro stations is possible by planning and designing seamless interchange stations which
facilitates physical integration of different access or egress modes.

Figure 2: Different aspects of Last Mile Connectivity

The study will look at each metro station and the surrounding area in detail. The land use
for a distance of 500m from the corridor has been surveyed to understand nature of
existing development. All prominent activities such as schools, colleges, hospitals, malls etc.
will be mapped to ensure that the LAAP caters to all of them. At the same time, for each
station, feeder services in the form of BRTS and AMTS will be identified. Each metro station
will be classified in terms of level of the interchange, which will be finalized based on the
number of modes and frequency of services.

17.5 LOCAL AREA ACCESS PLAN


The basic level of connectivity for any mass transit system would be linking local areas to
the nearest mass transit station. The concept of Ahmedabad Local Area Access Plan
(ALAAP) has already been proposed as part of developing Bus Rapid Transit System for the
city of Ahmedabad which also can be applied for last mile connectivity for Metro corridor.
LAAP identifies the road network along the Metro corridor that should be taken up for
pedestrian and NMT improvement.

17.5.1 Introduction to LAAP


LAAP is a plan that links local areas around transit stations with nearest mass transit facility
through attractive and well-designed NMT Infrastructure. LAAP is a context sensitive
planning project that is tailored to meet the following needs of the pedestrians and bicycle
users in the context of Ahmedabad. It will have the following objectives:
To connect NMT users to mass transit stations and from mass transit stations to final
destinations
To ensure the safety of pedestrians and bicycle users
To enhance the connectivity between various origins and key destinations through safe and
well-connected street networks for NMT users

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 4/56


CHAPTER 17 MULTI MODAL TRAFFIC INTEGRATION AT METRO STATIONS

17.5.2 Benefits of LAAP


LAAP provides a safe, direct and convenient pedestrian connectivity to public transit, to
various amenities like schools, collages, hospitals, recreational places and local market
areas and major landmarks. The direct benefits are listed below:
Improved pedestrian and bicycle accessibility to public transport system (Ahmedabad
Metro)
Improved pedestrian and bicycle access to important destinations like, jobs, schools,
collages, recreational areas, local markets, hospitals, religious places and commercial
activities
Improved existing pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure through context sensitive street
design solutions, appropriate implementation and enforcement plan
Facilitating pedestrians and bicycle users at interchanges by providing excellent and
seamless physical connection
Special focus on improving pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and accessibility to parks,
water fronts and other recreational places around the Ahmedabad city
Increasing pedestrian and bicycle safety at intersections through appropriate traffic calming
measures and traffic management system
Direct, safe and convenient pedestrian access to on street economic activities
Managing the local pedestrian and bicycle access to local on street markets by efficient and
pragmatic street design

The indirect benefits are listed below:


Walking and bicycling are non-polluting travel modes and costs nothing to the user. More
walking and cycling improves the overall quality of life.
Reduced dependence on private vehicles for short and local trips by enhancing high quality
and marvelous walking and bicycling environment
Ahmedabad city will be livable and walkable through LAAP
Ahmedabad Local Area Access Plan will serve as the feeder links as it incorporates easily
available modes for travel, time and cost incurred for last mile connectivity and ease of
walking to and from public Transit stations and other Interchanges
Ahmedabad Local Area Access plan is an opportunity to improve pedestrian and bicycle
access and connection to public transit service and to other key destination. This clearly
indicates that, in future, LAAP has potential to maximize the public transit ridership as well
as to increase the overall mode share of pedestrians and bicycle users.

17.5.3 Identifying streets in LAAP


The methodology of the network selection is completely based on the spatial distribution of
amenities, public transit network, and transit infrastructure and land use characteristics.
The following steps are taken to finalize the LAAP network.
Define the area for LAAP
Define boundary as per local context
Collect and analyze characteristics of streets, transport, activity pattern and land use

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 5/56

The corridor measuring 18.62 km of length has road widths varying from 18.0m to 100 m. It
holds many city level landmarks and is the most important arterial link along the river
Sabarmati that facilitates connections for eastern walled city to western newer
developments through river bridges. It is major institutional, commercial spine of the city
offering connectivity to some of the important suburbs like Chandkheda, Tragad,
Ramdevnagar,Wadaj, Vasna, Sarkhej, etc. and has now become integral part of the city.

The stretch from Usmanpura to Ellis Bridge is also identified as C.B.D. in proposed D.P. of
Ahmedabad and has high end commercial and office spaces with social and educational
institutions. The upcoming malls, presence of recreational spaces, institutes and the
upcoming riverfront project has made this street a vibrant and active street in the city
context.

Old High Court being a continuous long stretch has given connectivity to many important
places and destinations and is transforming rapidly. The stretch fromV.S. Hospital and
terminating at APMC has a peculiar character. It passes through various suburbs such as
Madalpur, Vasna, Sarkhej, etc. The residential character at the edges of this corridor is
getting transformed to mix use, commercial and Institutional along the edges whereas the
intact old residential fabric can be still observed in the inner areas. The alignment thus
benefits the variety of users.

The stretch wise description is elaborated considering direction of movement from from node
to to node referring as LHS and RHS for respective stretches to describe adjoining land uses,
activities, major landmarks, etc.

Motera Stadium to Sabarmati

This stretch is part of Visat - Gandhinagar highway link with wide expanse of road width as
100 m. This area is rapidly transforming as it is strategically located between Gandhinagar
and Ahmedabad and hence can be seen as a potential connection tothe administrative town,
institutional campuses, residential and commercial hub.

The edges are characterized bycommercial developments with mall typology like Sangath
mall, D mart mall, 4D mall, along LHS and institutional developments like IIT Gandhinagar
campus (temporary), schools, residential societies such as Harikrupa society, Rima park,
Raichandnagar, etc on RHS. Towards Visat junction, low rise residential development can be
seen with clusters of individual bungalows, row houses whereas dense high rise multi story
apartments at inner areas. The New C.G. road junction further up towards north- west,
connects Chandkheda. This road holds mix use at edge with residential neighbourhoods
dotted with renowned schools like Sakar, Poddar, etc.

17.5.5 Conceptual design

The lack of high quality pedestrian access and facility discourages the commuters to shift to public
transport despite being offered excellent public transportation system. Besides that, cyclists are
also sharing the carriage way for daily commuting and face high risk of accidents with fast moving
traffic. Therefore, the first priority should be given to improve pedestrian access from various
origins to Metro stations. In many areas, footpaths are not built due to fear of encroachments by
street vendors. A better approach would be to integrate vendors in street design so that they have
dedicated space.

Picture 1: Lack of adequate footpaths and Picture 2: Provision of adequate footpaths


dedicated cycle tracks and cycle tracks
The local government has to aim to make the footpaths clear from all types of encroachments. In
residential areas, footpaths are constructed but have frequent interruptions of property entrances.
An appropriate design solution should be adopted to manage the need of pedestrians and access
management to private properties. Upgrading the footpath pavement quality is also an important
factor.

Picture 3: Footpaths interrupted due to Picture 4: Designing continuous and


property access and other amenities uninterrupted footpaths taking care of its
contextual needs.
Pedestrians are not willing to use footpaths because they are not properly cleaned. There are
various roads where the foot path widths are less than 1 m. which becomes verydifficult to walk on.
Additionally, footpath width is also not adequate for pedestrians to walk in both directions. By
placing appropriate street furniture and activity generators, footpath edge can become active edge
and pedestrian will prefer to use footpath for walking. Additionally, landscaped areas can also be
developed at regular intervals between benches to make footpaths inviting and visually appealing
place to use it. It is recommended to plant trees to create comfortable walking environment

CHAPTER 17 MULTI MODAL TRAFFIC INTEGRATION AT METRO STATIONS

Picture 5: Pedestrians walking on road due Picture 6: Designing wide footpaths


to narrow footpaths pedestrian demand.

Picture 7: Roads without footpath Picture 8: Adding footpaths where needed


and planned.

There are various roads in Ahmedabad where there is no provision of footpaths. Especially roads
adjacent to fly overs, internal roads, roads with lesser road width less than 12 m are observed to be
lacking footpaths. Provision of footpath on such roads becomes very important for pedestrian
safety as well as providing accessibility to the metro stations.

17.6 FEEDER SYSTEM

The present AMTS and BRTS transportation system both will act as feeder system for Metro. The
feeder routes of proposed AMTS network will act as principal feeder system for Metro as well as

CHAPTER 17 MULTI MODAL TRAFFIC INTEGRATION AT METRO STATIONS

17.7 INTERCHANGE STATIONS


A transport interchange is a place where passengers and goods are exchanged between vehicles or
between transport modes. Interchange can be either the physical action of transferring between
services or modes as part of the passengers journey or it can be the physical location that provides
access to the Public Transport system.(IMP, Ahmedabad).

17.7.1 Type of Interchange


Interchanges permit riders from particular mode of transport to move and board same or different
mode in order to reach their desired destination. Interchanges can be of several types, depending
on available modes of transport. Transfer may happen between the same modes or among different
available public transport. Interchanges bring public transport together. For example metro station
can have interchanges with metro on particular corridor connecting metro station of different
corridor or, Metro stations may have interchange with BRTS, AMTS and even rail. Interchange helps
to integrate various means of transport system under a common node. Some of the identified types
of interchanges along the Ahmedabad Gandhinagar metro corridor are as followed;

1. Metro - Metro Interchange; connecting particular metro station with another metro corridor
2. Metro- BRTS Interchange; connecting Metro Station with BRTS
3. Metro - AMTS Interchange; connecting Metro with AMTS
4. Metro Rail Interchange; connecting Metro with Rail

Interchanges increases flexibility of movement and gives commuter option to avail multiple public
transports at a common station. BRTS is the high capacity public transport system while metro and
rail are considered to have even higher capacity than BRTS.

17.7.2 Level of Interchange


Interchanges can be of different levels, depending on the types of interchange. The four modes of
transport mentioned above are under four different authorities. Metro is a Special Purpose Vehicle
(SPV) under Metrolink Express for Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad (MEGA), BRTS is also an SPV
under Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited (AJL), AMTS is under Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation
(AMC) and Railways comes under Indian Railways. Design aspect of interchange needs prior
planning for seamless mobility and transfer from one mode to other. The multiple authorities or
institutions involved needs to take necessary decisions for efficient functioning.

Level 1

Level I interchange refers to the first type of interchange, which is metro to metro interchange.
Under such category, single authority is responsible. It also involves transfer of people from Metro
to Rail and Metro to Rail to BRT. Under such category multiple authorities are involved.
Ahmedabad BRTS is considered to be the closed system, as mixed traffic is not allowed on the
BRTS corridor. The same is the scenario with rail. Therefore level 1 interchange will involve
integration Metro with Metro and Metro with closed system of BRTS and Railways.

Level 2

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 48/56


CHAPTER 17 MULTI MODAL TRAFFIC INTEGRATION AT METRO STATIONS

Level 2 interchange refers to integrating Metro with BRTS. Two SPVs AJL and MEGA will play role
in such interchange. Another aspect to be taken care is integrating at-grade BRTS with elevated
and underground Metro.

Level 3

Level 3 interchanges also involve integrating multiple authorities, MEGA and AMC, but the
typology is different because metro has to be integrated with the open system of AMTS. In this
level of interchange AMTS will function more as a feeder to the Metro corridor.

Level 1 Metro Metro

17.7.3 Ahmedabad Metro Interchange stations:


In order to develop an integrated public transport system, where one mode acts as a
complimentary mode to another mode rather than its competitor, a trunk and feeder system of
transportation network, which has been developed, would lead to incidences of transfers of
passengers from one mode to the other. These interchange points are required to be seamless and
barrier- free. Thus, this part of the study lays down principles for identification of interchanges
within the city of Ahmedabad, determine the various typologies of interchanges, and thus identify
the locations of various types of interchanges that needs to be developed all over the city of
Ahmedabad for a seamless, barrier- free transportation experience.

The level of interchanges on each metro station is defined on the basis of the parameters described
above. Details of interchange and map showing the level of interchanges on metro corridor are
shown below.

17.7.4 Principles for Developing an Interchange


AMTS is it will work as a feeder service of BRTS and upcoming METRO in Ahmedabad. Proper
interchange will be provided to transfer passengers from feeder to trunk. The interchanges that
need to be developed for Ahmedabad are based on certain principles, which are as follows:

Every point where two or more public transport modes or routes of a public transport
mode meet or coincide must be identified as an interchange.
Interchanges must be pedestrian- friendly.
Transfers within an interchange or within an interchange zone must be barrier- free
Interchanges must be designed in a manner that when one attempts to transfer from one
mode to the other, the transfer occurs between secured spaces, except in case of a transfer
between AMTS and other modes.
Every Metro and RRTS station must have a park and ride facility

17.7.5 Facilities for interchange


Facilities within an interchange may be categorized into four types, namely, transit support facility,
transit- oriented passenger facility, additional facility and back office facility. Usually additional
facilities and back office facilities are available in only the Type I and Type II interchanges. The
facilities available for the various typologies of interchanges identified for the city of Ahmedabad
are listed below. It is to be noted that provision of facilities in an interchange depends heavily on
the contextual needs and the table below is to be referred as just guidelines.

17.7.6 Conceptual design / typical design:


Conceptual designs for all the levels of metro station interchanges are discussed below.

17.7.6.1 Level 1 Interchange design: Kalupur Interchange.


Kalupur, which is the major railway station for the city of Ahmedabad has been proposed to be
developed as a Type- I interchange. The railway station, located at 23 1'47.48"N latitude and 23
1'47.48"N longitude, lies in the eastern part of the city. Kalupur interchange is expected to be the
biggest interchange in Ahmedabad.

At present, the railway station is connected by both the BRTS as well as the AMTS services, but in
the future the railway station is supposed to be connected with the Gandhinagar- Ahmedabad
Metro and a Regional Rapid Transit system. The introduction of these systems, would led to further
increase in the footfalls in this station. Thus, this proposal aims to develop an interchange where
pedestrians can make barrier- free movement and the public transportation modes are given
priority.

The interchange integrates Railway station, Metro station and BRT as well as AMTS. The Metro
station and BRT station are on the opposite sides of the Railway station. Metro and BRT station are
proposed to be connected via underground concourse which will also connect to the two entry
points of Kalupur railway station both on east and west side. An integrated AMTS bus stop is also
proposed right next to the Kalupur Metro exit gate.

17.7.6.2Level 2 Interchange design Typical Metro-BRT Interchange


Metro and BRT being closed systems a connection from the exit of metro station to the entry of BRT
station should be designed. These close connections can either be elevated or underground as per
contextual needs. The exit of the metro station is proposed to be planned next to the AMTS stop.
Thus the passengers do not need to search for the AMTS stop after egressing from metro station.

CHAPTER 18 - COST ESTIMATES

Chapter - 18
COST ESTIMATES
18.1 INTRODUCTION

Project Cost estimates for the Ahemdabad metro rail network has been prepared
covering civil, electrical, signalling and telecommunication works, rolling stock,
environmental protection, rehabilitation, considering 750v dc traction at March 2014
price level, both for Capital and Operation & Maintenance costs.

While preparing cost estimates, various items have generally been grouped under
three major heads on the basis of:-
(i) Route km. Length of alignment
(ii) No. of units of that item and
(iii) Item being an independent entity.

All items related with alignment, whether in underground or elevated or at-grade


construction, permanent way, traction, signalling and telecommunication, have been
estimated on rate per route km/km basis. Route km. cost for underground alignment
construction, excludes station lengths. Station lengths (260m) have to be done by cut
and cover in general and by tunneling under compelling exceptional circumstances.
The rates adopted for underground stations include cost of civil structures and
architectural finishes. Similarly, cost of elevated and at grade stations includes civil
work for station structures, architectural finishes, platform roofing, etc. Provisions for
electrical and mechanical works, air conditioning, lifts, escalators, etc, have been
worked out separately. These rates do not include cost of permanent way, traction,
power supply, signaling and telecommunication, automatic fare collection (AFC)
installations, for which separate provisions have been made in the cost estimates.
Similarly, for other items like Rolling stock, Traction & Power, VAC, etc, costs have
been summed up separately. In remaining items, viz. land, utility diversions,
rehabilitation, etc the costs have been assessed on the basis of each item taken as an
independent entity.

In order to arrive at realistic cost of various items, costs have been assessed on the
basis of accepted/completion rates in various contracts, awarded for similar works by
DMRC in Phase-III. A suitable escalation factor has been applied to bring these costs to
March 2014 price level. Taxes & Duties such as Customs Duty, Excise Duty, Sales Tax,
Works Tax, VAT, etc, wherever applicable, have been worked out on the basis of
prevailing rates and included in the cost estimates separately.

DPR for Ahmadabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 1/13


CHAPTER 18 - COST ESTIMATES

The overall Capital Cost for the Ahemdabad metro rail network at March 2014 price
level works out to Rs. 9835 Crores including applicable Taxes & Duties, as tabulated
hereunder.

Details and methodology of arriving at these costs are discussed in paras hereinafter.

18.2 CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS

18.2.1 Land

Land requirements have been kept to the barest minimum and worked out on area
basis. Acquisition of private land has been minimised as far as possible. For
underground and elevated alignment, no land is proposed to be acquired permanently,
except small areas for locating entry/ exit structures, traffic integration etc. Elevated
alignment is proposed to be located on the road verge and wherever, this is out side
the road alignment, minimum land area about 20m wide is proposed for acquisition.

Cost of Govt. land is based on the rate provided by the MEGA Company Ltd.
Gandhinagar.

Private land for MRTS project shall be acquired by MEGA and compensation shall be
paid as per Land Acquisition Act 2013. The average rate of private land has been
worked out to be Rs.18 Crore per hectare as provided by MEGA Company Ltd.
Similarly average rate for govt. land has been taken 7.5 Crore per hectare to work out
the cost of land.

Provision for cost of land required for resettlement and rehabilitation has been made
in the cost estimates.

In addition to the lands required permanently, some areas of land (mainly Govt.) are
proposed to be taken over temporarily for construction depots. Ground rent charges
@ 5% per year for a period of 4 years have been provided for in project cost estimates.

Details of the lands with their costs have been shown in corridor cost estimate.

The estimated cost at March-2014 price level includes an amount of Rs.7.04 Crore as
one-time charges of security personal towards cost of weapons, barricades, and hand
held and door detector machine etc. However, the recurring cost towards salary and
allowances of security personal have not taken in to account in FIRR calculation. 2%
of the project cost is taken for providing first mile and last mile connectivity i.e.,
feeder bus services.

19.2 COSTS

19.2.1 Investment Cost


19.2.1.1 For the purpose of calculating the Financial Internal Rate of Return (FIRR),
the completion cost with central taxes has been calculated by taking escalation factor
@7.5% per annum. It has been assumed that Gujarat State Government will exempt

FARE STRUCTURE AND FINANCIAL VIABILITY

the local taxes or reimburse the same and provide the land worth Rs. 793.00 crore at
March-2014 price level free of cost or it shall provide Interest Free Subordinate Debt.

It is assumed that the construction work will start on 01.07.2014 and is expected to
be completed on 31.03.2018 with Revenue Opening Date (ROD) as 01.04.2018 for the
both the corridors. The total completion costs duly escalated and shown in the table
19.2 have been taken as the initial investment. The cash flow of investments
separately is placed in Table 19.2 as below.

Total 9382.00 11463.00

19.2.1.2 Although the construction is expected to get over by 31st March 2018, the
cash flow spill over up to March 2021 on account of payment normally required to be
made to the various contractors up to that period necessitated by contractual clauses.

19.2.1.3 The cost of Land of Rs. 793.00 crore at March-2014 price level included in
the above completion cost will be provided free of cost by the Gujarat Government.
However, Cost of 10 hectare land to be provided by Gujarat Government for property
development has not been included in above.

19.2.2 Additional Investment


Total investment provided in the FIRR calculation towards requirement of additional
rolling stock duly escalated @5% PA is placed in table 19.3 as under: -

19.2.3 Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Costs


The Operation & Maintenance costs can be divided into three major parts: -

(i) Staff costs


(ii) Maintenance cost which include expenditure towards upkeep and maintenance of the
system and consumables
(iii) Energy costs

The requirement of staff has been assumed @ 35 persons per kilometre. The
escalation factor used for staff costs is 9% per annum to provide for both escalation
and growth in salaries.

The cost of other expenses is based on the actual O & M unit cost for the Delhi Metro
Phase-II project. The average rate of electricity being paid by Delhi Metro for its
Phase-I and Phase-II operations in Delhi is Rs. 5.80 per unit whereas in Gujarat the
applicable rate is Rs. 5.00 per unit which has been used for all calculations. The O&M
cost (excluding staff cost) has been obtained by providing an escalation of 7.50% per
annum. The O&M costs have been tabulated in Table 19.4.1as below for the both
corridors:

19.2.4 Depreciation
Although depreciation does not enter the FIRR calculation (not being a cash outflow)
unless a specific depreciation reserve fund has been provided, in the present
calculation, depreciation calculations are placed for purpose of record.

19.2.5 Replacement Cost


The replacement costs are provided for meeting the cost on account of replacement of
equipment due to wear and tear. With the nature of equipment proposed to be
provided, it is expected that only 50% of the Signalling and Telecom and 25% of
electrical works would require replacement after 20 years.

19.3 REVENUES
The Revenue of Ahmadabad Metro mainly consists of fare box collection and other
incomes from property development, advertisement, parking etc.

19.3.1 Fare box


The Fare box collection is the product of projected ridership per day and applicable
fare structure based on trip distribution at different distance zones.

Fare Structure
The Delhi Metro Fares structures as fixed by a fare fixation committee in 2009 have
been assumed with an escalation @15.00% for every two years, which is placed in

19.3.1.3 Other Sources Of Revenues


Other revenues from Property Development and advertisement have been assumed
@ 10% of the fare box revenues during operations. Apart from development of
property on metro stations and depot it is possible to raise resources through leasing
of parking rights at stations, advertisement on trains and tickets, advertisements
within stations and parking lots, advertisements on viaducts, columns and other
metro structures, co-branding rights to corporate, film shootings and special events
on metro premises.

SPV/BOT operator will engage a developer/Concessionaire for generating rental


income. It is assumed that about 10.00 Hectare. i.e., 40,00,000 square feet area will
be available for property development with a FAR of 4. The developer will bring
equity to the extent of Rs.220.00 crore and the balance amount towards construction
shall be raised by SPV as 12% Market Debt. The estimated development cost will be
Rs.883.00 crore. It is assumed that the rental revenue will accrue to the developer
from the FY 2019-20 which has been escalated @5% every year. Out of the estimated
rental income, apart from meeting maintenance expenditure, the developer will
repay the loan and interest. After meeting these obligations and retaining 14%
return on his equity with an escalation @5% every year, the residual rental earnings
will accrue to SPV, which has been taken into account in the FIRR calculations. The
details of PD income accrue to SPV is tabulated as under; -

19.5 FINANCING OPTIONS


Objectives of Funding: - The objective of funding metro systems is not necessarily
enabling the availability of funds for construction but coupled with the objective of
financial closure are other concerns, which are of no less importance: -
Ensuring low project cost
Ensuring debt funds at low rates of interest
Creating self sustainable system in the long run by
o Low infrastructure maintenance costs
o Longer life span
o Setting fares which minimise dependence on subsidies
Recovering returns from both direct and indirect beneficiaries

Rail based mass transit systems are characterised by heavy capital investments
coupled with long gestation period leading to low financial rates of return although
the economic benefits to the society are immense. Such systems generate
externalities, which do not get captured in monetary terms and, therefore, do not flow
back to the system. However, experience all over the world reveals that both
construction and operations of metro are highly subsidised. Government
involvement in the funding of metro systems is a foregone conclusion. Singapore had
a 100% capital contribution from the government, Hong Kong 78% for the first three
lines and 66% for the later 2 lines. The Phase-I, Phase-II as well as Phase-III of Delhi

MRTS project, Chennai and Bengaluru metros are also funded with a mixture of equity
and debt (ODA) by GOI & concerned state governments.

19.5.1 Alternative Models Of Financing


The financing option shall depend upon selection of the dedicated agency created to
implement the project. The prominent models are: -
(i) Special Purpose Vehicle under the State Government Control (Delhi Metro Rail
Corporation (DMRC) /Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC)
(ii) Built, Operate & Transfer (BOT), and

SPV Model: - The corridor is a standalone one and therefore forming a separate SPV
may be in the name of Ahmadabad Metro Rail Corporation may be desirable. As per
the JICA procurement guidelines, Rs. 5140 Crore is eligible for JICA funding. However,
MEGA vide its email dated 6th May 2015 informed that JICA has shown willingness to
fund Rs. 5968 Crore and balance loan amount of Rs.379.00 Crore only may have to be
raised from the domestic loan. Accordingly, the funding pattern assumed under this
model is placed in table 19.11 as under: -

In addition to the above, State Taxes of Rs.636.00 crore on completion cost basis has
to be either reimbursed or exempted by state government.

BOT Model: - In this model, the private firm will be responsible for financing,
designing, building, operating and maintaining of the entire project. The contribution
of Government of Gujarat will be limited to cost of land only. Such a project become
eligible for Viability Gap Funding (VGF) upto 20% from the Central Government
provided the state government also contribute same or more amount towards the
project. The metro being a social sector project not much private parties are available
to bid for such a project. Besides quite expectedly the private operator may demand

19.6. RECOMMENDATIONS

The combined FIRR of both the corridors with taxes is 10.45% with revenue from
additional property development on 10 hectares of land. The pre-tax Equity FIRR to
the BOT operator worked out to 18% with total VGF of Rs.6086.00 crore excluding
the cost of 10 hectare Land. Since the Gujarat State Government is providing land
parcels for PD, it is advisable to take up the job on DMRC/BMRCL/CMRL model.
Accordingly, the corridors are recommended for implementation.

CHAPTER 20 ECONOMIC APPRAISAL

Chapter - 20

ECONOMIC APPRAISAL
20.1 INTRODUCTION

Economic benefits are social and environmental benefits which are quantified and then
converted into money cost and discounted against the cost of construction and
maintenance for deriving Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR). When actual
revenue earned from fare collection, advertisement and property development are
discounted against construction and maintenance cost, interest (to be paid) and
depreciation cost, Financial Internal rate of Return (FIRR) is obtained. Therefore, EIRR
is viewed from socio-economic angle while FIRR is an indicator of pure financial
profitability and viability of any project.

Economic appraisal of a project starts from quantification of measurable economic


benefits in economic money values, which are basically the savings of resource cost due
to introduction of the metro line. Economic savings are derived from the difference of
the cost of the same benefit components under with and without metro line.

In highway construction projects, without is taken as base case and with implies
alternative case. In alternative case a portion of traffic on the road is diverted to a new
road which is estimated first. Then the difference between maintenance & construction
cost for base case and for alternative case which is known as relative road agency cost
(RAC) is derived. Difference between road user cost for base case and of alternative
case is also derived which is known as relative road user cost (RUC). Difference
between RAC and RUC calculated for each year generates net benefit stream. Economic
indicators (EIRR, BC Ratio, NPV) are the obtained.

In metro projects, same principal is followed but procedure is slightly different. Here,
diverted traffic is nothing but the passengers shifted from road based modes to metro.
Travel time saving is the difference between time which would be taking on metro and
road based transports for same distance. Fuel cost saving is the difference between the
cost of the fuel burnt on road based modes by the shifted passengers and the energy cost
of running the metro rail which is a part of the maintenance cost. Thus benefits are
directly obtained by correlating with them with the passenger km (ridership and
average trip length is multiplied to get passenger km). As is done in highway projects,
net benefit is obtained by subtracting the cost of the project (incurred for construction
(capital) and maintenance (recurring) costs for the metro line) from the benefits derived
from pass km savings in each year. The net benefit value which would be negative
during initial years becomes positive as years pass. Internal rate of return and benefit
cost ratio are derived from the stream.

CHAPTER 20 ECONOMIC APPRAISAL

The sources from where economic savings occur are identified first. Although there are
many kinds of primary, secondary and tertiary benefits, only the quantifiable
components can be taken to measure the benefits. These components are quantified by
linking with the number of passengers shifted and the passenger km saved by the trips
which are shifted from road/rail based modes to metro. It may be observed that first
four benefit components given in Table 20.1 are direct benefits due to shifting of trips
to metro, but other benefit components are due to decongestion effect on the road.
Benefit components were first estimated applying market values then were converted
into respective Economic values by using separate economic factors which are also
given in table 20.1. Depending upon methodology of estimation, economic factors are
assumed. Overall economic value of benefit components is 90% of the market value.
Similarly economic value of the cost components are 80% of the market cost.

passengers and 11.21% passenger trips are carried by 13.62% IPT transport as may be
seen in table 20.7. More smaller size vehicles on road indicates more congestion.

20.3 ECONOMIC BENEFIT STREAM

For deriving the values of economic indicators (EIRR, NPV, BCR), cost and benefit
stream table is constructed in terms of money value. Socio-Economic Benefits are first
quantified and converted in to money cost.

While cost component is estimated for each year, benefits are obtained directly from the
projected passenger km saved for the horizon years (2018, 2021, 2026, 2031 and 2043)
and the values for other years are interpolated and extrapolated on the basis of
projected traffic.

Market values are used for calculating costs and then appropriate economic factors (see
table 20.1) are applied. For each year values of each benefit components are obtained
and thus benefit stream is estimated. Benefit Components Stream for proposed Phase 1
line is shown in table 20.8.

All Benefit component values (economic) accrued between the years 2018-2044 are
shown in figure 20.2 which shows that benefits are mainly coming from saving of travel
time by metro and road passengers (56.57%), fuel saving cost (22.60%), vehicle
maintenance cost (16.17%) and Environmental benefit from emission reduction,
accident reduction and road maintenance cost (together) is 4.66%.

20.4 METRO CONSTRUCTION COST

Total cost of metro construction (COMPLETION COST) is derived after considering cost
of all major component such as Relocation and Rehabilitation (RR), Civil construction for
underground and elevated portions, Stations and Depots, Track laying, Signalling and
telecommunication, Power traction line, Rolling stock, Man power etc. RUCURRING
COST includes energy cost, maintenance cost, and operation cost. These costs are
inclusive of central tax and yearly escalation cost applied on fixed cost. Analysis period
is taken from 2014-15 to 2043-44 out of which 7 years (2014-2018) are marked as
construction period. Additional capital expenditure may be incurred in the years 2021-
22 (purchase of more rolling stock). During the years 2031-32 and 2043-44, additional
capital will again be required for rolling stock and in 2039-41 major repairing and
replacement cost is envisaged. Operation is expected to start in 2018-19 (4th Year).
Overall Ratio of Fixed cost and Completion cost is 0.8185. There are two ways to
calculate economic benefits. Either remove all escalation factors and then derive
economic benefits on the basis of fixed cost estimated in 2014, or keep the escalated
cost, but also apply escalation factors on benefit components namely time value, fuel
cost and other costs whose values will change. This means calculation on the basis of
current price. In the present analysis, second option is mainly used. For arriving at
current price 7.5% escalation is applied on the estimated cost (base year 2014). 6%
escalation factor is applied on the benefit components considering average economic
growth as 6% per year. Cost stream is generated for both options and is shown in Table
20.9. Economic factors are then applied (as given in table 20.1) on the completion cost
stream.

20.5 ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

For Moderate Scenario, after generating the cost and benefit stream table, values of
economic indicators are derived and are given in table 20.10. Project period is 2014-
2043, EIRR is found to be 19.94% and B/C ratio as 5.52 and with 12 % discount, EIRR is
7.09% and B/C ratio is 2.03. NPV without discount is Rs 145959 Cr. and with 12%
discount rate, NPV is Rs. 9997 Cr. On the basis of fixed cost (2014), EIRR is 13.92% B/C
Ration is 4.20 and NPV is 41689, which shows that the project is economically viable.

Sensitivity analysis shows that economic indicator values namely EIRR is within the
limit of acceptance as also the B/C ratios. If cost is increased by more than 20% or traffic
is decreased by 20%, economic return reduces to 15.36%.

20.7 QUANTIFIED BENEFITS.

Benefits which are shown in previous tables are money value of the benefits. These
benefits are estimated first and the converted into money value. For brevity, only 5 year
estimates are shown in table 20.12 (Reduction of Vehicle gas Emission) and in table
20.13 (Reduction of Fuel, Time of Travel, Vehicle on Road etc).

From Table 20.13, it may be seen that in 2020, due to shifting, metro passengers time
saving will be 6.08 Cr. (10 million) hour, fuel saving 38.86 thousand tons. Amount of
travel in terms of passenger km reduced due to shifting to Metro Rail is equivalent to
reduction of 61598 vehicles from the road. About 31 fatal accidents and 141 other
accidents may be avoided. Hence it is expected that there will be some improvement of
the overall ambience of the area.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

21.1 WAY FORWARD FOR IMPLEMENTING AHMEDABAD METRO PROJECT

On receipt of the Detailed Project Report, following action will be required for
implementing the Ahmedabad Metro:

Approval to the Detailed Project Report to be taken from Gujarat State Government
(Cabinet approval).

The DPR to be forwarded to the Ministry of Urban Development(GOI), Planning


Commission and Finance Ministry with the request for approving the Metro project
and for financial participation through equity contribution in the MEGA.

Signing of an MOU between Gujarat State Government and Government of India giving
all details of the Joint Venture bringing out the financial involvement of each party,
liability for the loans raised, the administrative control in the SPV, policy in regard to
fare structure, operational subsidy, if any, etc.

MEGA Ltd, the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) already set up for implementing the
project and for its subsequent Operation & Maintenance.

The Metro Railways (Amendment) Act-2009 can readily be made use of for
implementation of Ahmedabad Metro by declaring Ahmedabad City as Metropolitan
Area in terms of clause c of section 243 P of Constitution.

Request to GOI for a notification for making the Metro Railways


(Amendment) Act 2009 applicable to Ahmedabad Metro.

The State Government should formulate the funding plan for executing this project
and get the same approved by the Government of India. The loan portion of the
funding will have to be tied up by State Government in consultation with the
Government of India.

The Government should freeze all developments along the corridors suggested. For
any constructions within 50 m. of the proposed alignment a system of No Objection
Certificate should be introduced so that infructuous expenditure at a later stage is
avoided.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 1/12


CHAPTER 21 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

The Metro Railways (Amendment) Act-2009 can readily be made use of for
implementation of Ahmedabad Metro by declaring Ahmedabad City as Metropolitan
Area.

21.2 Implementation on Delhi Metro/Chennai Metro Model

MEGA has to take action for appointment of General Consultants for project management
including preparation of tender documents. Till the General Consultants are in position,
MEGA should appoint an interim Consultant for all preliminary and enabling jobs such as
land acquisition, detailed design of civil structures, utility diversions, etc.

The proposed date of commissioning of the both corridor with suggested dates of important
milestones is given in Table 21.1

21.3 ORGANISATIONAL SET-UP OF MEGA

The MEGA organization, as stated earlier, should be very lean but effective. It will consist of
a non-executive Chairman, a Managing Director with full Executive Powers (in Schedule A)
and three Functional Directors (in Schedule B) including Director (Finance). All the three
Functional Directors will be full members of the Management Board. The Directors will be

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 2/12


CHAPTER 21 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

assisted by Heads of Departments in each of the major disciplines and they in turn will have
Deputy Heads of Departments. The organization should be basically officer-oriented with
only Personal Assistants and Technical Assistants attached to senior officers by eliminating
unproductive layers of staff such as Peons, Clerks, etc. We strongly recommend that the
total organizational strength is limited to 70 to 80 eliminating too many tiers to enable
faster decision-making.

It is necessary for the MEGA officers to get exposed to the Metro technology and Metro
culture through study tours of some of the selected foreign Metros and Delhi/Calcutta
Metros.

Implementing a metro project in a congested metropolis is indeed a challenge. In sheer size,


magnitude and technical complexity there are no parallels to metro projects. Further, these
projects are to be carried out in difficult urban environment without dislocating city life,
while at the same time preserving the environment. The project involves integration of a
number of complex technical systems some of these technologies used in these systems are
totally new to the country each one of which is a major project by itself. Interfacing various
system contracts is a difficult and highly skilled exercise. Side by side, timely and adequate
funds have to be assured for implementation and lands, without encumbrances, have to be
taken possession of in time. Clearances from the local authorities have to be taken which
includes permission to cut trees, diversion of utilities, management of road traffic, etc., all of
which will call for an efficient and competent project implementing agency.

Metro projects cannot be executed the way Government agencies execute projects in this
country. Timely completion is very important to safeguard the financial viability. Competent
and skilled technical personal to man such an organization are difficult to mobilize. In fact
such experienced persons are not readily available in the country. Being a rail based project,
for most of the systems such as rolling stock, signaling, telecommunication, traction power
supply, etc., persons with railway background would be necessary. As systems &
construction technology used in metro are much more advanced and sophisticated than the
one used in Railways as these have to suit dense urban areas, Metro experience will enable
faster & smoother execution and thus is desirable & therefore should be preferred.

Since MEGA will not have the required expertise and experienced manpower to check and
monitor the General Consultants it may be necessary to engage Prime Consultants from the
very start of GCs assignment who will do this job on behalf of MEGA.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation can also be considered straightaway for being appointed as
General Consultant to MEGA which will reduce the construction time by 4 to 6 months.

21.4 CONTRACTS

21.4.1 Civil Works

It is proposed to carry out the civil works through following construction contracts-

21.4.3 Depot Contracts

The contracts are required for Civil and E&M works at Gyaspur Depot and Apparel Park
Depot. Each depot will have one package for civil works.

The number of contracts for supply of Depot Equipment may be decided as and when the
work is in progress.

21.5 HIGH POWER COMMITTEE

During the implementation of the project several problems with regard to acquisition of
land, diversion of utilities, shifting of structures falling on the project alignment,
rehabilitation of project affected persons, etc. are likely to arise. For expeditious resolution
of these problems, an institutional mechanism needs to be set up at the State Government
level. Towards this end, it is recommended that a High Power Committee under the
chairmanship of Chief Secretary, Gujarat should be set up. Other members of this Committee
should be Secretaries of the concerned Departments of the State Government and Heads of
civic bodies who will be connected in one way or the other with the implementation of the
project. Commissioner of Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority and Chief Executive
Officer of Ahmedabad Nagar Nigam should also be the member of this committee. This
Committee should meet once a month and sort out all problems brought before it by MEGA.
For Delhi Metro also such a High Power Committee was set up and it proved very useful in
smooth implementation of the Delhi Metro rail project.

21.6 EMPOWERED COMMITTEE

At the Central Government level an Empowered Committee, under the chairmanship of


Cabinet Secretary, is presently functioning for Delhi Metro project. Other members of this
Committee are Secretaries of Planning Commission, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of
Urban Development, Ministry of Surface Transport, Ministry of Environment and Forests,
Department of Expenditure, Chief Secretary of Delhi Government and a representative from
the PMO. The Empowered Committee meets regularly and takes decisions on matters
connected with inter-departmental coordination and overall planning, financing and
implementation of the Delhi Metro project. It is suggested that the role of this Empowered
Committee should be enlarged to include Ahmedabad Metro project also and the Chief
Secretary, Gujarat should be inducted as a member of this Committee.

21.7 EMPOWERED GROUP OF MINISTERS (EGOM)

Union Cabinet had set up a Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) to take decisions on
behalf of the Cabinet on policy matters concerning Delhi Metro project. The Group of
Ministers is chaired by the Home Minister. Other members of the GOM are Minister of Urban
Development and Poverty Alleviation, Minister of Railways, Minister of Finance and

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 5/12


CHAPTER 21 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Company Affairs and Deputy Chairman Planning Commission. Chief Minister, Delhi and Lt.
Governor, Delhi, are permanent invitees to all meetings of the GOM. The GOM meets
whenever any problem requiring decision on behalf of the Union Cabinet is to be taken. It is
suggested that the role of this GOM should be enlarged to include Ahmedabad Metro. The
Chief Minister, Gujarat should be inducted as a member and should attend the meetings of
GOM whenever any issue concerning Ahmedabad Metro is to be deliberated upon.

21.8 LEGAL COVER FOR AHMEDABAD METRO

Construction of Ahmedabad Metro should commence soon. Thus there is immediate need to
have a legislation to provide legal cover to the construction stage of Ahmedabad Metro.

Implementation of proposed Ahmedabad Metro can now be done under The Metro
Railways (Amendment) Act 2009. The copies of the Gazette notification and the
amendment are put up enclosure to this chapter.

21.9 CONCESSIONS FROM GOVERNMENT

Metro rail projects need very heavy investment. Loans have invariably to be taken to fund a
part of the capital cost of the projects. These projects yield low financial internal rate of
return. With reasonable fare level, servicing of these loans often pose problems. To make
the project financially viable, therefore, the fares need to be substantially increased to
socially un-acceptable levels. This results in the ridership coming down significantly, as it is
sensitive to increases in the fare level. Thus the very objective of constructing the metro rail
system to provide an affordable mode of mass travel for public is defeated. It, therefore,
becomes necessary to keep the initial capital cost of a metro project as low as possible so
that the fare level of the metro system can be kept at reasonable level.

As in the case of Delhi Metro, the State Government should exempt/reimburse the Gujarat
Value Added Tax (VAT) to Ahmedabad Metro. It should also exempt the following: -

Tax on electricity required for operation and maintenance of the metro system.
Municipal Taxes.
As per the present policy 50% of the Central Taxes will be paid by GOI as subordinate Debt
and balance 50% will be paid by the concerned State Government. Gujarat State
Government may pursue the Central government to extend the same benefit to Ahmedabad
Metro.

21.10 NEED FOR DEDICATED FUND FOR METRO PROJECTS

We also strongly recommend that the State Government start building up funds for the
project through dedicated levies as has been done by other State Governments notably
Karnataka.

DPR for Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project March 2015 6/12


CHAPTER 21 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

To enable the State Governments to provide their share of equity in the Special Purpose
Vehicles set up for such projects, it would be necessary to constitute a Special Metro Fund at
the State Government level. The State Government should resort to imposition of dedicated
levies for raising resources for these Funds. Areas where such dedicated levies are possible
are given below:

A 50% cess on the tax levies for registration of road vehicles.


A Green Surcharge on fuel (petrol, diesel).
The above two levies would also assist to discourage the use of personalized motorized
vehicles and encourage the use of public transport, which would not only reduce the
pollution level in the city but also reduce traffic congestion on the road.
A onetime Green Tax (Rs. 5000 to Rs. 10000 for four wheelers and Rs. 2000 for two
wheelers) on existing vehicles registered in the City.
All receipts from traffic challans to be channeled to this Fund.
A 1 % turnover Tax on all shops, restaurants and hotels on a monthly basis.
A 20 % surcharge on Property Tax within the Corporation limits.
Metro Tax @ 2% on pay rolls of all establishments having more than 100 employees.
Such cess is in existence in a number of Western countries for raising resources for
metro rail. The employers benefit a good deal by good Metro System.
Surcharge @ 10% on luxury tax on the earning of all Star Hotels. At present level, the
luxury tax is 10%. The surcharge will raise the level to only 11%. Chinese cities have
adopted this scheme.
Densification of Corridor by way of selling of Floor Area Ratio (FAR) along the proposed
metro corridors.

CHAPTER 22 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Chapter 22

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

22.1 Ahmedabad has witnessed enormous growth during the last 10 years. The growth is mainly
the result of immigration as the city provided better employment opportunities.
Ahmedabad is the principal administrative, commercial and distribution center of the State.
Ahmedabad is fast developing as educational hub of Gujarat. Rapid urbanization in the
recent past has put the citys travel infrastructure to stress. Being thickly populated area,
Ahmedabads traffic needs cannot be met by only road-based system.

Road-based, has already come under stress leading to longer travel time, increased air
pollution and rise in number of road accidents. However BRTS has offered some respite in
this context and limited to the out skirt of the city, but it may not be sustainable and cater
travel demand in longer horizon. With projected increase in the population of the city,
strengthening and augmenting of transport infrastructure has assumed urgency. For this
purpose provision of rail-based Metro system in the city has been considered.

Studies have brought out that a Light Capacity Metro with carrying capacity of about 15,000
to 25,000 phpdt will be adequate to meet not only the traffic needs for the present but for
the future 30 to 40 years also. A Light Metro System consisting of two Corridors namely (i)
Thaltej to Vastral Gam Corridor (19.435km) and (ii) APMC to Motera Stadium (18.493km,
including depot connection) at an estimated total completion cost of Rs. 11463 Crores
(with Central taxes & duties) to be made operational as recommended in implementation
chapter.

22.2 A detailed Environmental Impact Assessment Study has been carried out for the project. As
a part of this Study, comprehensive environmental baseline data was collected, and both
positive and negative impacts of the project were assessed in detail. The project has many
positive environmental impacts like reduction in traffic congestion, saving in travel time,
reduction in air and noise pollution, lesser fuel consumption, lesser road accidents etc, with
a few negative impacts (especially during implementation phase of the project) for which
Environmental Management Plan has been suggested.

CHAPTER 22 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

22.3 After examining the various options for execution of Ahmedabad Metro Project, it has been
recommended that the project should be got executed through a SPV on
DMRC/BMRCL/CMRL model.

22.4 The fare structure has been estimated based on Delhi Metro fares decided by Fare Fixation
Committee in 2009. Subsequently, for the purpose of assessing returns from the project, the
fares have been revised every second year with an escalation of 15% every two years.

22.5 As in the case of Delhi Metro, the State Government should exempt/ reimburse the Gujarat
Value Added Tax (VAT) to Ahmedabad Metro. It should also exempt the following:

Tax on electricity required for operation and maintenance of the metro system.

Municipal Taxes.

22.6 As per the present policy 50% of the Central Taxes will be paid by GOI as subordinate Debt
and balance 50% will be paid by the concerned State Government. Gujarat State
Government may pursue the Central Government to extend the same benefit to Ahmedabad
Metro.

22.7 While the Financial Internal Rate of Return (FIRR) for the project has been assessed as
10.45% with central taxes with property development and the Economic Internal Rate of
Return (EIRR) works out 19.20%.

22.8 The combined FIRR of both the corridors with taxes is 10.45% with additional property
development of 10 hectares land and EIRR is 19.20 %. The pre-tax Equity FIRR to the BOT
operator is 18% with a total VGF of only Rs.6086.00 crore excluding the cost of 10 hectare
Land. Since the Gujarat State Government is providing land parcels for PD, it is advisable to
take up the job on DMRC/BMRCL/CMRL model. Accordingly, the corridors are
recommended for implementation.
