Finding Solutions from Natural Pattern for Future Transportation Network

Rakesh C., Harshit S. Lakra

Abstract


The topic deals with the traffic problem in an urban scenario. Through the sources, it can be seen how traffic is obstructing the growth and development of the city. Its utopian concept in the view that it will seek to attain an ideal city that will be planned and organic, irrespective than present scenario, and will be unique in its way.

The larger the city, the greater its complexity and the potential for disruptions, particularly when this complexity is not effectively managed. The most important transport problems are often related to urban areas and take place when transport systems, for a variety of reasons, cannot satisfy the numerous requirements of urban mobility.

We can live organically we can grow as an intelligent species on earth. We can control the earth phenomenon up to much extent too. Analogous to nature, we should find a way to develop our physical infrastructure so that we can utilize our resources judicially and sustainable, with utmost care to natural variables.

In the proposal the city can support transportation through 3 levels of transits. Depending upon the function and size of the population that will use the transit, transits have been categorized. It will be a boon for the upcoming trend of transportation like POD cars, or intelligent transit, that will communicate with each other on their own and make the trip for us.


Keywords
