% of Road Users who are Victims of RTAs More that 50% of the victims are PEDESTRIANS Slow Moving Users 5% 2 Wheeler users 28% Pedestrian 51% Oth … Passenger 12%

Installation of Speed Cameras and modern equipments  High speed corridors where Speed Cameras and Speed Signages were placed, which led to massive reduction in RTAs  Contactless Prosecution with instant messaging strategy works.  Can be made more effective by improving database of actual vehicle owners and mobile numbers

% of Offending Vehicles causing RTAs Bigger vehicles - BUSES & GOODS VEHICLES contribute to more than 50% of RTAs Reason Remedy 1. Enforcement (Sending violation 1. Buses compete for passengers messages to drivers. Reward 2. Poor compliance to payment of fine Punishment ) 3. Blind spot issues 2. Linking of FC to clearing pending cases 4. Vehicle Fitness issues (Poor Control) 3. PIS at Designated Bus stops 5. Buses not stopping at designated 4. Putting up Boom Barriers etc places 5. Education of Drivers 6. Pedestrian management Bigger vehicles have a BLIND SPOT to the Pilot Project on KP vehicles to have left of the driver CONVEX MIRRORS or CAMERA to aid the vision of the drivers

Engineering Interventions  Creation of Bus Lanes using Spring posts  Putting up Median Dividers  Identification of engineering issues with vehicles  Conducting Pilot with cheap retrofit solutions and proposing policy intervention.  Passenger Information System to encourage passengers to board/get down at designated bus stops  Boom Barriers for safe crossing from designated points

Pedestrian Management  Boom Barriers - Pilot Project  Pilot locations  AJC Bose Rd – Chowringhee Rd X-ing – Exide X- ing  Strand Rd – Raja Woodmunt Street (Burrabazar)  Sync with Pedestrian Green Time  Foot Over Bridges Working closely with allied agencies – KMC/ KMDA etc. for setting up Foot Over Bridges with Escalators at both ends, for convenience of passengers

Centrally Managed Network Signalling System Live Traffic Data Signal on Road Signal on Road Time offset Central Signal Command & on Control Road

Suggestion  PVD – Database of Actual Vehicle owners mapped with their mobile numbers need to be cleaned up. Simplifying vehicle transfer procedure  Fitness for Buses & other public carriers – good condition Tyre, Brake etc.  Installation of convex mirror/CCTV in front of driver may be useful to make viewable the blind spots.  In order to avoid competition in buses, the number of buses plying on a route need to be rationalised depending on the demand along that route.
