Projects

As part of the initiative to strengthen institutional mechanisms within the SASEC (South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation) program and accelerate the implementation of regional transport and trade projects, a comprehensive data-driven study was undertaken to support better infrastructure planning and trade facilitation across SASEC member countries—Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, and Nepal.

The objective of this initiative is to build a robust analytical model that objectively captures and explains logistics movement across SASEC borders. The data collection and modelling framework is designed to address critical strategic questions, such as:

• What is the actual and latent demand for freight movement between any selected origin–destination pair along SASEC corridors?

• What infrastructure gaps or trade facilitation barriers are restricting full realization of freight potential on specific corridors, including alternate routing challenges?

• How would improvements in a particular infrastructure component or trade facilitation measure influence regional traffic flow forecasts?

• If growth is stimulated in specific commodity sectors—such as agriculture or textiles—within a region, how would this impact traffic volumes along SASEC trade corridors?

To support the analytical model, VTRAC Worldwide Traffic Consulting carried out an extensive series of traffic surveys across ~130 strategic locations in India (West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Nagaland, Manipur, Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu), including:

• Mid-block Classified Traffic Volume Count surveys

• Turning Movement Count surveys using videography

• Roadside interview-based Origin–Destination (OD) surveys

This large-scale data collection initiative provides essential insights for improving regional connectivity, enhancing freight efficiency, and enabling more effective infrastructure and policy planning across the SASEC network.

Team VTRAC Worldwide Traffic Consulting conducted a comprehensive Traffic Survey across 11 major bus stations in Chennai. The study included traffic movement assessment, passenger opinion surveys, IPT (Intermediate Public Transport) surveys, parking analysis, and detailed observation of bus terminus operations.

The objective of this project was to understand overall vehicle movement, passenger flow, and accessibility conditions around key bus depots and terminus locations to support modernization and infrastructure improvement initiatives.

Project Locations: Central Depot, Vallalar Nagar, Vyasarpadi, Toll Gate, Tiruvottiyur, Adyar, T-Nagar, Saidapet, Thiruvanmiyur, Tambaram, and Mandaiveli.

VTRAC Worldwide Traffic Consulting conducted an in-depth traffic study on the national highway stretch between Lucknow and Sitapur! The key goals:

• Analyze current traffic volume patterns
• Forecast future trends
• Assess potential property developments

Using video-based traffic volume counts over 7 days (including weekdays and weekends), we've captured 24-hour data to ensure a thorough understanding of traffic patterns.

This critical highway corridor is vital for connectivity. This study provided comprehensive information on traffic patterns, helping shape better infrastructure and property planning for the future.

Team VTRAC Worldwide Traffic Consulting conducted an extensive Opinion Survey in Chennai, Coimbatore, Salem, Tiruchirappalli, Madurai, and Tirunelveli to understand IPT (Intermediate Public Transport) drivers’ perspectives on shifting from traditional fuel-based autos to electric three-wheelers. The insights gathered will support the development of policy recommendations to help the government address the concerns of auto-rickshaw drivers and facilitate a smoother transition to electric mobility.

In addition to the survey, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were organized with auto-rickshaw drivers to gain deeper insights into their views, expectations, and the challenges they face during the transition to electric autos.

These FGDs were conducted across Chennai, Coimbatore, and Tiruchirappalli, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of driver sentiments from different urban contexts within Tamilnadu.

Team VTRAC Worldwide is conducted a comprehensive Traffic Survey on the NH48 Express Highway in Maharashtra. The survey is being carried out using a combination of Automatic Traffic Counter & Classifier (ATCC) systems and Video Graphic Survey methods.

These advanced techniques enable accurate measurement of traffic volume, vehicle classification, and movement patterns, ensuring high-quality data collection for planning and infrastructure development.

VTRAC Worldwide has involved in performing the Detailed Traffic Study Report for Metrolite / Metro Neo for 2 Major cities of Gujarat (Jamnagar & Gujarat). A complete traffic & transportation study was initiated and executed successfully for Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. With our well qualified team members, we accomplished Traffic Survey in video graphic method, Occupancy Survey, Origin-Destination Survey, Household Survey & Stated Preference Survey. As part of this project our team also performed the complete analysis for all the mentioned surveys.

Following are the types of survey conducted & executed for both Jamnagar (J) & Rajkot (R):

VTRAC Worldwide performed Origin-destination (O-D) survey in the Ongole stretch of Andhra Pradesh at three different Toll Plazas functioning between Chilakaluripet to Nellore. The task was executed for 24 hrs for 4 days with a total 60 manpower in total.

The Origin-destination (O-D) survey provides a detailed picture of the trip patterns and travel choices of a city's or region's residents. These surveys collect valuable data related to vehicle classification, type of goods, and trips patterns before and after COVID19. This information will support our stakeholders to understand travel patterns and characteristics; measure trends; provide input to travel demand model development, forecasting, and planning for area‐wide transportation infrastructure needs and services; and, monitor progress in implementing transportation policies.

VTRAC Worldwide conducted traffic analysis survey in and around Majestic location at Bangalore, mainly focusing on the key junctions. The survey is performed using video graphic method for the designated number of days to understand the traffic movement to different directions. The survey covered over 50 major junctions of Majestic. The project was executed in association with Global Academy of Technology, Bangalore.

The main aim project is to facilitate the assessment of present and future traffic demands, for the development of need-based infrastructure accurate information and continuous monitoring of traffic by appropriate methods is necessary. Government authorities must therefore ensure that sufficient and appropriate data is available to undertake necessary planning, design, construction and maintenance of the road network in the city, which is aimed at meeting the prevailing traffic flow, future traffic growth and loading without considerable deterioration in the quality of service.

Following are the major studies carried out in this project:

1. Traffic Impact Study
2. Traffic Volume Study across High Density Corridors
3. Pedestrain Movement Study 

VTRAC Worldwide conducted Public Opinion Survey in association with Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) & UrbanWorks Institute for Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).

The objective of the survey is to understand the traffic behavior of an individual by considering the various parameters like demographic location, age, living standard, daily basis travel mode, distance & time taken during the peak / non-peak hours and also the willingness to pay for the alternate roads for reduced and managed traffic.
