@ramprasad_c Road safety studies in India happen after the road is operationalized. What can you do at that stage? Can’t introduce micro-curves. Safety-in-design isn’t a thing yet.
@cvkrishnan In my domain, majority GCC engineers are being trained to become software experts (i.e., technicians).
GCCs don’t expose engineers to projects, they expose to isolated problem-solving. Do aerospace engineers get to work through a projects lifecycle?
@prasannavishy Sorry but that’s not the way to think about spatial subjects. This works in management consulting “benchmarking” decks. Spatial planning is highly complex and very contextual -> geometry, land use, driver behavior, economics, and technology all influence final outcomes.
@AlokPatel Land is scarce. We cannot handover prime ROW to one operator and then not regulate.
Imagine when spectrum is regulated, how do we not regulate land.
@MumbaiMangroves BRTS (real one - not just rickety bus in a separate lane) will make a significant impact on urban life in Mumbai. BRTS will be smashing success in Mumbai.
@MehulThakkar_@public_pulseIN Traffic management requires generating time or space. Former is impossible, latter is unsustainable. What you perhaps meant was demand management which could work. But in an era where govts are abolishing tolls, implementing demand management measures seems like a pipe dream.
@learning_pt What happens when they hit the junction? Reversible lanes are a thing but they create safety hazard even in the west. They will wreak havoc in India.
@Ikigaimode Xperts will flood your mentions to explain why trams don’t work in India.
If me, an Xpert can’t think of at-grade crossings and geometry design solutions, no one can.
@hellfire_81 Leftist abusing fauj has gone out of fashion. Their obsession is Modi.
The new cool economic right OTOH does not have a UPA to criticize. So they’ve zeroed in on the three services.
@cvkrishnan@lsob_ Bus terminal under the main urban rail station surrounded by vertical destinations. There’s a stream and a park 200m NW of this facility.
No nature has to be tamed for development. 🙂
@cvkrishnan@lsob_ This is a photo of a multi level bus terminal in Seoul. We have placed Indian-made constraints on what is possible and what is not. Taming lakes is not need-based, it is due to our incompetence.
Funnily enough, broadway multi-modal facility is not horizontal and in Chennai. 🙂
