Manuscript of Question Paper – Model paper
Instructions to Candidates:
1. Answer all questions from Part A. Part A questions should be answered in first
three pages of the answer book only.
PART A
1 1.1 List the components of urban mobility systems. 2
1.2 Mention the objective of the National Urban Transport policy 2016. 2
1.3 List any four types of surveys in transportation planning. 2
1.4 List the 4 steps of transport modelling. 2
1.5 List any two factors affecting modal split. 2
1.6 What is the capacity restraint assignment technique. 2
1.7 List any four mass transit in urban. 2
1.8 What is fleet management in transportation? 2
1.9 List any two economic corridor in India. 2
1.10 List any two emerging technologies implemented in transportation planning. 2
PART B
Describe various urban transportation problems and issues. Explain any
a 08
three challenges and limitations of Transportation System.
2
Explain Transportation planning process and discuss various components
b 08
associated with the preparation of transportation plan.
Following information are obtained from transportation survey. Develop
linear regression model for the data.
a Traffic zone 1 2 3 4 5 6 08
3 Population(in thousands) 20 24 28 32 36 39
Total trips generated(in 10 12 17 16 18 20
100)
b Explain the factors governing trip generation and attraction rates. 08
OR
Given that a zone has 275 household with access to car and 275 household
4 a without access to car and the average trip generation rates for each group 06
are 5.0 and 2.5 trips per day, respectively. Assuming that in the future,
households will have similar distribution with access and without access to
a car, as per the existing situation. There will be an addition of 550
households with similar distribution of car ownership. Find the growth factor
and future trips from that zone.
Explain briefly the statistical tests to be carried out to develop multiple
b 10
regression.
Explain the various methods for trip distributions with respect to growth
a
5 factor models. 08
b Describe the concept of lowry model with the help of flow chart structure. 08
OR
List the different traffic assignment techniques and briefly explain diversion
a
6 curves. 08
b Explain why capacity restore assignment is superior than all or nothing assignment. 08
a A company is planning to transport goods between two cities, City A and
City B, along a newly developed economic corridor. The economic corridor
aims to reduce transportation costs and time while improving trade
efficiency.
Distance between City A and City B: 500 kilometers
Truck speed on the corridor: 80 km/h
7
Number of trucks required for daily delivery: 5 trucks
Cost per truck per hour:1500 rs
Fuel cost per kilometer: 25 rs
Cargo to be delivered daily: 100 tons
Capacity per truck: 20 tons 08
b Discuss corridor assessment in urban area. 08
OR
8 a Briefly discuss the importance of mass transport system in urban area. 08
b A logistics company has a fleet of 10 trucks. Each truck can carry 100 tons of goods,
and the company needs to deliver a total of 800 tons of goods to various locations
over the next 4 days.
a) How many trucks will the company need to use each day if they plan to deliver
the goods evenly over the 4 days?
b) If each truck can only operate for 12 hours a day and the average delivery time 08
for each truck is 8 hours per trip (including loading and unloading time), how
many trips can each truck make per day?
c) Assuming the trucks must make full deliveries (no partial loads), how many trips
will be required in total to deliver the 800 tons of goods over the 4 days?
a Discuss the key principles of effective transportation planning that ensure smooth
08
integration of different transport modes.
9
b Discuss how multimodal transport help in managing capacity and reducing
08
congestion in urban areas.
OR
a Choose a metropolitan city that has successfully implemented a transportation
planning initiative. What were the key strategies and goals behind the city's 08
10 transportation planning process?
b Discuss the challenges do logistics companies face when integrating multiple
08
transport modes in a seamless supply chain.
