This enables to install Survey reference pillars along the proposed site for their reference during the construction. Processing by using Google Earth Satellite images and downloaded ground elevation data by Global Mapper for producing the best possible design. HEADS Pro is powerful for design of highways with single/multiple cross sections and single/multiple alignments, where the road cross sections may change with different configuration and with the change in widening pattern from Left to right to concentric along the route from origin to destination. The design has special treatment in hill stretches. Provision for tunnels is also possible with very special design techniques.

This paper is focused on the estimation of travel demand for a PRT system in an area using stated preference technique and binary logit models. Dwarka is a township in southwestern region of New Delhi, India, and it has been selected as the case study area for this study. Primary data has been collected during household and establishment surveys in the area. The surveys were conducted using stated preference technique and coupled with willingness to pay survey. Further, binary logit models have been developed to estimate a 36 percent (222,456 trips per day) shift to PRT from the existing modes in the area. Travel demand estimation is one of the critical aspects of planning a PRT system in an area. Using stated preference technique and binary logit models, the travel demand can be estimated very precisely for any area-wide or a larger city-wide PRT system.

This study explores the relationships between travel patterns of commuters and their willingness to adopt an alternate mode. The study also estimated public transport share along with private vehicles. This research has been concentrated on the application of fuzzy logic technique in which the mode choice model provides the estimated modal split at the specified work centers in the study area. It is expected that the present study may be used in new transport policies by concerned authorities.
