Abstract:

While considering traffic management issues of Indian or any developing county’s road situation Public transportation is most important factor. Traffic troubles in town areas increase due to rapid growth of population and with the rise in numbers of vehicles which result into excessive delays, travel times and reduction in speeds on urban road network. In order to reduce these problems there is a need for sustainable public transport system. Traffic quality parameters such as traffic flow, speed, travel time, delay time, stop time and fuel consumption need to analyze for the impact of BRT as compared to present day mixed traffic on traffic and commuter mobility. After many more researches experts mate one and same conclusion that Bus rapid transit (BRT) is the most suitable, cheap and advance way of public transportation. But before implementation of any new system or making changes in existing system we have to analyze influence of pros and cons to existing system. In this particular study we consider the same for BRT system implementation. Authors studied previous research works for BRT system and made one standard conclusion for new BRT system. These judgments can be used to form the basis for developing public transport corridor in present Indian traffic conditions.
