INTRODUCTION
1. Transportation is one of the most important requirements for aid of
communication from one place to other for visiting purpose or in the
sense of tourism. A number of factors like the convenience from one
place to the other, promotion of tourism, for communication between
places, etc. have predicted the importance of planning such as
roadways industries in the essence of BUS TERMINALS.
2. Transportation system improves the social, economic, industrial
and commercial process and further transforms the society into an
organized one.
3. It is one of the essential services, vital force for determining the
direction of development. To achieve the desired transportation
balance and for the system to be efficient.
4. It is essential to provide organized facilities in the system.
5. As transportation is concerned with the movement between
origin and destination involves the movement of people and goods.
There is need for an access point in the system for use.
6. Transportation is one of the most vital services for every city
small or big. Everyone is familiar with the difficulties that a
transportation malfunction causes. These range from minor delays
and aggravation when a street segment is closed for construction, to
major disruptions of activities and shortages of goods when there is a
major strike.
8. An interstate/city bus terminal is a landmark in the city and
nonetheless “the gateway of the city.” This can be considered as an
indicator of development of any city.
9. This can be considered as an indicator of development of any
city.
10. The need for transportation increases with the rise in population.
Road transport in India:
•National highways, State highways, District roads And Village Roads etc.
•National highways carry approximately 40 % of the total traffic but they
are only 3.5 % of the entire road network.
• The Indian road network is under much needed development. Some 40%
of villagers in India lack access to all weather roads and remain isolated
during the monsoon season.
Modes of transport:-
• Public
• Private
With the rapid growth of urbanization in recent decades, public transport
services, particularly bus services in many cities in India lack their full
potential. Due to inefficient public transport systems, there has been an
increase in the personalized mode of travel in most cities, leading to
increase in traffic density resulting in longer travel time, reduced average
speed, and increased fuel consumption, higher levels of pollution and
discomfort to road users. So there is a need for efficient transport system
with the growth of urbanization.
Bus terminus
A bus terminus is a structure where a number of buses stop to pick up and
drop off passengers and stop for maintenance or next day departures to
different destinations. It is larger than a bus stop, which is usually simply a
place on the roadside, where buses can stop. It may be intended as a
terminal station for a number of routes, or as a transfer station where the
routes continue.
Need for a terminus:
Terminuses act as access nodes.
Terminuses are needed where number of services terminates and where
there is a exchange of passengers and goods from one service to another.
Types of bus terminus:
1. Bus depots
2. Bus stops and shelters
3. Intercity bus terminus
4. Airportcity bus terminus
5. Interstate bus terminus
TRANSPORTATION
1. Transport Or Transportation Is The Movement Of People From
One Location To
Another.
2. Modes Of Transport Include Air, Rail, Road, Water, Cable,
Pipeline, And Space.
3. The Field Can Be Divided Into Infrastructure, Vehicles, And
Operations. Transport Is Important Since It Enables Trade Between
Peoples, Which In Turn Establishes Civilizations.
4. Transportation Can Be By
Roads
Railways
Airways
Waterways
5. And terminals such as
Airport
Railway Station
Bus Terminal
Trucking Terminal
6. Out of all these bus stations are the third most important way of
transportation after airports and railway station. Airports links two states.
Similar with railways but bus stations links each part of cities as well as
inter states.
NEED OF THE PROJECT
• With rapid growth in urban areas-infrastructure and services
related to transport, energy, housing etc. Are under tremendous
strain.
•By keeping the population and vehicle growth rate in knowledge the
need and demand of this project is very high.
• To create Better Facility To Users And Facilitating Passengers As Well
As Inhabitants Of The Neighboring Areas With Enhanced And Planned
Commercial Activities.
The people of the area say the terminus would ease traffic bottlenecks at
Perungalathur.
State-owned transport corporation officials said it would help crew
members reduce their work pressure. "Presently, a good portion of their
resting time is wasted on roads due to acute traffic jams on the outskirts of
Chennai and in Perungalathur in particular,”
• To Increase The Use Of City Transport System By Integrating It With
State Transport System Which Will Result In Decreased Number Of
Private Vehicle Users With Consequential Reduction In Traffic On City
Roads.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The Aim And Objectives Of The Project Are:
•To achieve design excellence for a bus terminal for future and urban
scenario where space will become precious commodity & High Bus trip
will have to support from small site further to save space for commercial
activities will be incorporate with Bus Terminal.
•To promote fast & understanding flow of traffic.
•To create clear segregation of different type of traffic. No congestion at
peak hour.
•To promote optimum connections between all elements and spaces, i.e.
clear connection of functions.
•Toincorporate today‟s communication system, surveillance system, etc.
into design.
SCOPE OF STUDY & DESIGN ARE:
1. Interstate Bus Terminal - 300 Bays
2. Parking For Private Vehicles, Taxis & Auto
3. Restaurant and Food Courts
4. Cafeteria
5. Book Shops
6. Ticket Counters
7. Office Complex(admin)
8. Shops or a Commercial Complex
9. Cloak room
10. Resting Area (for staffs)
11. Waiting area
The circulation of the people should be provided separately so
that the buses dont intersect with it.
