Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCED RESEARCH IN CONSTRUCTION AND URBAN ARCHITECTURE - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Due to exorbitant migration in urban areas in the last few decades, increasing vehicle ownerships, traffic congestion and rising extreme air pollution have resulted more and more cities in India to opt for various mass rapid transit systems such as metro rail, mono rail and BRT systems etc. But cities still faces the problem of last mile connectivity. Most of the cities don’t have proper last mile connectivity facilities. First mile/last mile connections are made in a number of ways, these include: walking, bicycling, private automobile, metro feeder, bus service local bus, E-rickshaw, cycle rickshaw and auto rickshaw. This article is an attempt to understand the existing last mile connectivity issues in various cities of India especially in Delhi and how with the help of various Information and Communication based solutions, last mile connectivity can be enhanced in upcoming smart cities in India. This article basically focuses on seamless integration with other modes physically, technically and institutionally, smart parking management through RFID based technology and biometric devices, electronic road pricing, use of mobile GIS technology in safety and security process, installation of passenger information system and operation control centre and multiuse mobility card, Green CAB “dial a rickshaw facility etc. These above intelligent system and smart solutions can be used to enhance last mile connectivity in upcoming smart cities in India.
