REPORT
Newfound Properties & Leasing Pvt. Ltd
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report has been prepared for Commercial Development at New Mumbai by New Found Properties & Leasing Pvt. Ltd. This report is part of a process towards obtaining Environmental Clearance from MOEF. The specific objective of this report is to evaluate annual energy usage and apply various energy efficiency measures for ECBC Compliance for maximum Energy Efficiency.
The building was analysed using hourly energy simulation to evaluate the performance in terms of energy consumption and thermal comfort of the occupants. The purpose of this report is to present the performance of the design building in comparison to a baseline budget building based on ECBC 2007.
It is observed via various analysis tools that the building is well insulated with efficient system design & has significant energy performance. It is determined via simulation that the project is anticipated to save 25% energy over the Conventional base case & 11% over ECBC 2007.
The report is structured as follows.
Climatic Analysis
Shading Analysis
Daylight Analysis
Heat Island Effect
Heat Gain Calculation
Energy Simulation
Mumbai Psychrometric Chart above explains that, no other strategy is effective for passive comfort except Solar Shading & Natural Ventilation. Strategies like Direct evaporative cooling, Internal heat gain and High thermal mass are also effective, but for a lesser period. Around 30% of total comfort hours can be achieved by Sun Shading. Around 27% of total comfort hours can be achieved by Natural Ventilation. From all the above strategies around 50 % of total comfort hours can be achieved by Sun Shading and Natural Ventilation & for the rest 50% of the time air conditioning may be required. For this analysis, the Comfort Criterion was set at 20 to 26 degree C for dry bulb temperature & relative humidity upto 70%.
Climate Analysis
Shading Analysis
Shading analysis shows that the
buildings and their openings remains
around 22% of time in shade due to
mutual shading. Maximum shading is
achieved on north facade due to
adjacent building. Though very less, but
the effect of the shading is observed
because of mutual shading & few design
features only.
Simulation Method – Clear sky condition on 21st September at 12 noon, at working plane, 750 mm. Glass VLT – 50%, Reflectances – Ceiling 70%, Wall 50% Flooring 20%
Daylight Analysis
It is clearly seen from the results that
average lux level is more than 300 in more
than 75% of the total habitable area.
Typical Floor
Heat Island Effect
From the results on the right it can be clearly seen that because of measures like heat reflective paint on exposed roof, Solar Panels, Open Grid Pavers, Shaded Streets, Maximum Green Area etc. there is a considerable decrease of 72% in the Surface Absorbed Radiation resulting is reduction of Cooling Loads.
Case 1: The case has been assumed with all the proposed buildings with convectional finish on top, asphalt road and dark colored paving on site without any green space.
Case 2: The case has been proposed with light coloured road surface and paver blocks with green space in open area areas which is help to reduce urban air temperature in surroundings.
High SRI Paints Light Colored Paver Block Light Coloured & Shaded Roads Green Open Area

Introduction
1.1 Study Background
Expansion of Proposed Development of Information Technology Park located at Plot no. Gen
2/1/D, Gen 2/1/E, Gen 2/1/F in Trans Thane Creek Industrial Area, Maharashtra Industrial
Development Corporation, Juinagar, Navi Mumbai has been proposed to construct Commercial
building by Newfound Properties & Leasing Pvt. Ltd. Conducting a TIA (Traffic Impact
Assessment) is a part of the basic requirements to get any new establishment approved by the
Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF). The Ministry weighs the potential benefits of the
establishment on the surrounding transportation and environmental systems against the negative
impact and decides to approve or reject the construction of the proposed establishment.
(SAGE) Sustainable Approach for Green Environment LLP has been commissioned by the
project proponent, Newfound Properties & Leasing Pvt. Ltd. to provide a Traffic Impact Study
for this project.
1.2 Scope of the Study
The entire study can broadly be broken into the following tasks:
Visit the site and understand the existing traffic pattern, traffic facilities and field
constraints.
Collect relevant traffic survey data through primary and secondary surveys for traffic
impact assessment.
Quantify the traffic volume and density for road network around the project with and
without extra demand for the coming project
2
Project the traffic density for next 25 years for road network
Study the traffic impact of the development on the surrounding road network with the
consideration of future changes in the traffic and infrastructure.
Study the internal traffic within the site layout to demonstrate the vehicular speed and
space requirement.
Calculate the time requirement to exit the vehicles for disaster management plan during
peak hours.
Identify the adequacy of the transport infrastructure and the remedial measures to
improve the traffic plan.

1.4 Design Parameters
The basic design parameters considered for the study has been illustrated below:
1. The social status as well as economic well-being of the residents plays an important role
in determining the parking demand for any residential project.
2. The visitors will expect a safe and efficient circulation with good levels of service i.e.
minimum waiting time at security check, proper traffic control at entry/exits, minimum
congestion delays and pleasing aesthetics.
3. A design vehicle is a vehicle whose dimensions and operational characteristics are used
to establish layout geometry. Toyota Innova (Big Car) and Maruti Swift (Small Car) and
Volvo 400 (Fire Tender) were chosen as the design vehicles.
4. The maximum number of traffic a road can carry is referred to as its Capacity or design
service volume. The service volumes considered for the project is given below:
Type of Roadway Road Capacity* Category
4-Lane Divided (Two Way) 3600 Arterial
8-Lane Divided (Two Way) 7200 Arterial *Indian Road Congress 106:1990 Urban Road Capacity
5. Level of Service (LoS) can be defined as a letter designation that describes a range of
operating characteristics on a given facility. Six Levels of Services are defined for
capacity analysis. They are given letter designations from A to F, with LoS ‘A’
representing best level of operational standards and LoS ‘F’ the worst.

Traffic Data Analysis
4.1 Traffic Analysis
The road network around proposed site was analysed to determine its performance in order to
observe the current traffic and the projected traffic for the coming 25 years. To measure the
network performance, volume by capacity ratio (V/C) and Level of Services (LoS) were
calculated as per IRC recommendations.
Urban network is also analysed in terms of V/C ratio and LoS. This analysis is done for the four
major and minor roads which will get affected by the traffic of proposed project.

Roads on which analysis has been done are described below :
Thane-Belapur Road towards Juinagar Station.
Ahilya Gokul Patil Road.
Thane-Belapur Road towards D. Y. Patil Stadium.
S. Central Road.
18
Methodology Adopted for the Traffic Analysis
1. The first step was to calculate the traffic of this road network for coming twenty years
with the growth rate of 5% per year.
2. Volume of the traffic is converted to PCU (Passenger Car Unit) based on the number of
vehicles and by using the appropriate conversion factor for each type of vehicle.
3. The relevant Design Service Volume (DSV) of each road has been taken as the capacity
as per IRC 106 – 1990.
4. Level of Services (LoS) is identified for each road for each study year on the basis of
Volume by Capacity ratio for the particular road.
5. The LoS has been calculated with and without the new development to identify the
impact of proposed complex on present as well as future traffic on the road network.

4.2 Estimation of Capacity and LoS (for current scenario – 2016)
Following analysis is done by considering theoretical capacity of roads. In this analysis the
vehicles parked at the road side has not been considered.

Retrieval Analysis
It is important to ensure the safety of each of the occupant of the project during an emergency via
proper DMP. In addition to safety of residents, the vehicles from each parking floor should be also
be retrieved in a systemic manner. The planning of this retrieval is necessary in case of multilevel
parking’s to ensure smooth retrieval in quickest possible time.
The main objective of this analysis is to determine the total time required to vacate the entire
parking area. In this project, 1320 parking spaces are provided for Building No.4.
Assumptions:
1. Speed for Cars = 15 kmph on straight 10 kmph at curves
2. Headway for Cars = 1 m
3. During an emergency, all Car exits will be used for evacuation (exit)
4. During emergency, there will be simultaneous retrieval from multiple Exits
5. During emergency, the adjoining area will be cordoned off with help of police and
Retrieval will be marshalled with help of security wardens
6. Cars will be retrieved one level after other
7. Retrieval Time for each car includes the backup manoeuvre and slow down at turns
8. The principle of LIFO (Last In First Out) will be applied
9. Initial Delay and Circulation Delay time is considered
Sr. No. Description Value
1 Average speed of vehicle within parking lot 15 kmph (4.1 m/sec)
2 Average speed of vehicles on Car Hoists/turns 10 kmph (2.8 m/sec)

Swept Path Analysis
It is the analysis of the path of the design vehicle undertaking a moment and/or a turning
manoeuvre. At a basic level this includes calculating the Thread of each wheel during the turn and
also calculating the manoeuvring space needed by the vehicle body (front & rear overhang). This
is carried out using swept path analysis which demonstrates the following analysis:
1. To study the internal traffic plan layout for movement of the designed vehicle and space
requirement.
2. To carry out the swept path analysis of vehicular movement for the proposed site layout at
turning point of plan layout.
3. To suggest the solutions for free flow movement of internal traffic and possible geometric
congestions at the site.

Traffic Management Plan
8.1 Introduction
The road construction and maintenance activities are the integral part of road network
development particularly for developing and transitional economies. The road work zones are
areas of conflict between normal operating traffic, construction workers, road building
machineries and construction traffic. Work zone accidents are caused by several factors such as
frequently changing environment that occurs during road work whereby the driver is often
surprised, insufficient warning signs foe normal and construction traffic, lack of audible warning
to workers and inadequate provisions of safety devices to protect workers. An ideal way to reduce
work zone accidents is to create a working area that does not influence the normal traffic flow by
segregating and shielding the site.
To ensure safety of all, there is a need to adopt an efficient and effective plan for management of
traffic. Work Zone Traffic Management Plans (WZTMP) are required to meet the safety needs of
regular traffic as well as work traffic, ensuring minimum disruption in access to properties and
movement of pedestrians.
8.2 Purpose of Traffic Management Plans (TMP)
The primary purpose of the Traffic Management Plans is to provide for the reasonably safe and
efficient movement of road users through or around the work zones while reasonably protecting
the workers and equipment. When the normal function of the roadway is affected with the
presence of workers and equipment, the TMP provides for continuity of the movement for motor
vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic, transit operations and access to properties and utilities.
41
Work zones present constantly changing conditions that are not expected by the road users, which
creates an even higher degree of vulnerability for the workers present near the roadway. A
concurrent objective of the TMP is the efficient construction and maintenance of the highway, as
well as efficient resolution of traffic incidents, if any, likely to occur in the work zone. The TMP,
therefore, should facilitate the smooth and efficient flow of traffic as well as safe working
environment.
8.3 Basic Principles of Work Zones Traffic Management Plans
(WTMP)
The basic safety principles governing the design of roadways should also govern the design of
Work Zones Traffic Management Plans (WTMP). While designing the WTMP, all care needs to
be taken so that anyone coming along the road or the footpath from any direction understands
exactly what is happening and what is expected of him/her.
The aim should be to facilitate the passage of road users through such work zones using roadway
geometrics, roadside features and Traffic Control (TC) devices comparable to those for normal
highway operations. Thus, road user movement should be free from any hazard with the following
aspects in view:
WTMP at work sites should be designed on the assumption that drivers will only reduce
their speeds if they clearly perceive a need to do so. Frequent and abrupt changes in
geometrics such as lane narrowing, dropped lanes, or main roadway transitions, that
require rapid manoeuvres, need to be avoided.
Provisions should be made for the safe operation of work, particularly on high-speed, high-
volume roads.
Bicyclists and pedestrians, including those with disabilities, should be provided with access
and safe passage through the work zones. Bicyclists and pedestrians should be guided in a
clear and positive manner while approaching and traversing the work zones.

Roadway occupancy (i.e. using the roadway for construction activities) should be
scheduled during off-peak hours, and if necessary, night work should be considered after
carefully assessing its pros and cons.
Road users and worker safety and accessibility in work zones should be an integral and
high-priority element of every project, from planning through design and construction.
Early co-ordination with officials having jurisdiction over the affected cross streets and
those providing emergency services, should take place before roadway or side street
closings.
Special plan preparation and co-ordination with transit, other highway agencies, law
enforcement and other emergency units, utilities, schools and railways are needed for
reducing unexpected and unusual road users resistance.
Special attention may be needed to regulate and control heavy commercial vehicle traffic
in the work zones.
8.4 Planning of WTMP
The planning and designing of WTMP should be based on some of the important considerations:
1. Provide safety for road users and workers
2. Minimize hindrance or delay to road users
3. Provide clear and positive guidance to road users
4. Ensure roadside safety maintenance
5. Ensure that planners and decision makers have the necessary knowledge
6. Provide good public relations
43
8.5 Traffic Calming
A Traffic Management plan indicating traffic circulation, traffic calming and traffic control is
indicated. Traffic calming is intended to slow and control motor-vehicle traffic in order to improve
safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. Traffic calming measures are of various types like speed
tables, curb extension, chicane etc. These are mitigation measures to ensure safety.
8.6 Traffic Control Measures
The internal roads are undivided to maintain flexibility of traffic lanes. Minimum 6m wide
roadway width has been provided for the movement of vehicles. Recommended design speed on
the internal road is 15kmph and on the turns is 10kmph. Speed tables will be provided near the
entrance/exit point to control traffic and regulate speed of vehicles. An illustrative picture is also
shown in Figure 7.1. Additionally, the following shall be required to maintain traffic flow at
required level of service.
Road Markings and Signages: Proper road markings (edge, median, arrows, turning, Kerb)
and Signages (direction, turning, speed, and pedestrian crossings) will be installed and
maintained on all roads in the vicinity of project premises.
On-street parking will be prohibited on all external and internal streets.
Pick and drop at designated places only.
Preferably no U-Turn on roadway
Traffic calming measures – speed tables, signage Apart from internal signage – it will be
requested to provide necessary signage and traffic control measures, on neighbouring
roads, – such as Speed limit, Left hand curve, pedestrian crossing etc.

8.7 Traffic control measure for site
The plot is situated at Shahad, Kalyan. The plot is surrounded by commercial and residential
buildings. The location of the plot is suitable for commercial and residential development. To
Provide Safety within the layout of the project some internal traffic control measures are given
below.
1. Speed Bumps will be provided at entry/exits as well as on longer distances.
2. Safety Mirrors at curve ends will be installed as safety measure and to give a proper view
of the approaching vehicles.
3. Signage’s to specify speed limit on curves and straight road, no parking zones, disabled
parking etc. will be installed at respective locations.
4. Fire Extinguisher will be installed at multiple points in case of emergency.
5. Floor Markings will be provided to denote the parking space, reserve parking, visitors
parking, etc.
6. Sufficient Lights at proper distances will be installed to prevent collision and accidents
during night time.
7. Pedestrian Crossing will be marked for safe road crossing.

Summary and Conclusion
9.1 Summary
The first chapter provided a brief introduction to the presented study and the study area. All the
steps needed to be done in the project were also listed, and the structure of the report was
provided.
The second chapter provided basic information regarding the proposed establishments. The
connectivity of the study area was discussed. Background of the study road network was also
provided.
The third chapter listed down the surveys conducted to generate the basic and primary traffic data
for the study network as well as the residential complex. The summaries of the surveys were
presented.
The fourth chapter dealt with the congestion and LoS analysis of the roads in the network. The
impact of the new development was quantified in terms of V/C ratio. Also, impact analyses for
long term period were carried out with project and without project. Here, it has been analysed for
the coming 25 years with the 10-year intervals. The years in which any road was reaching its
theoretical capacity was also identified.
The fifth chapter is all about parking space proposed for this project.
The sixth chapter gives the retrieval time in case of emergency as well as for peak hours for
proposed project.
The Seventh Chapter gives the ideal movement of car and Fire truck for free movement in parking
at straight path and at curves
47
The eighth chapter is giving idea about traffic management plan during the project development
and after completion of proposed project.
9.2 Concluding Remarks
Traffic Impact (Current Scenario):
Traffic impact analysis shows that, generated traffic from the proposed new development will not
have considerable impact because road width is wider and traffic density is lower. Also, maximum
LoS of each road of the this road network is good as presented in Table 4.1 on the surrounding road
network in terms of V/C ratio and Level of Service (LoS). It was also noted that, with all these
changes, most of the roads are providing acceptable level of service. LoS C represents a condition of
stable flow with average travel speed. Peak hour traffic impact of the entire residential development
on the roads is between 8 am to 11 pm (morning peak hours) and 5 pm to 8 pm (evening peak hours).
All the analysed roads i.e. Thane-Belapur Road towards Juinagar Station, Ahilya Gokul Patil Road,
Thane-Belapur Road towards D. Y. Patil Stadium and S.Central Road have Level of Service between
B to D for without project estimation.
Traffic Impact (Future Scenario):
Traffic congestion level for future scenario at study area was analysed and their results shows the
changes in V/C ratio and Level of Service. This would have significant impact on the future traffic
scenario which will be mitigated as per the measures provided in Chapter 4.7.
