#traffic counter system in bur dubai

[furiousstarfishphilosopher]

Intersection count is a kind of traffic surveys where we have to count the vehicles, cycles, people on foot, which is passed on in a particular street, way or intersection. The primary purpose is to advance the counts of vehicle movements through an intersection during certain timeframes.

KT experiment: Ferry trip vs bus ride vs long drive in Dubai – News

The idea is to find out what’s the best optimum transport solution for an office goer who commutes daily from Sharjah to Dubai.

For thousands who live in Sharjah and work in Dubai, how to beat the traffic has long been the biggest conundrum. With the recent launch of the ferry service between the two emirates, negotiating a chock-a-block Ittihad Road every rush hour is no longer the only option to get to and from work. Is it the answer to residents’ traffic woes? Khaleej Times did an experiment on Monday: With Sharjah City Centre as our starting point at 8am, three KT teams ‘raced’ to BurJuman in Dubai. One team hopped aboard the new ferry; one took the bus; and another drove to the finish line.

Ferry – the most scenic journey

It took us just about 10 minutes and Dh15 on a Sharjah taxi to reach the Aquarium station, and another seven to eight minutes to locate the ticketing counter in the newly built station (but that’s a typical first-timer’s syndrome).

A catamaran was ashore and ready to set sail by 8.25am and within five minutes – right on the dot – we were sailing under the UAE’s cool blue skies, comfortably sat in a brand new 100-seater.

Thirty minutes later, we were in Dubai’s Al Ghubaiba marine station, just a long hop from Al Ghubaiba Metro Station. After 10 more minutes, we reached Bur Juman, our final destination.

We were the last to arrive among the three teams that took on three different modes of transport as part of our experiment. But that doesn’t tell you about the 20 minutes we spent taking photos of the marina while we were waiting for the ferry – neither does it say anything about the fascinating sights and sounds we sampled along the way, from the deck and from the comforts of the AC glass cabin.

Travel time: 50 minutes (excluding waiting time) Cost: Dh35 (per person) Reached Burjuman at 9.20am

Pros . Stunning sights that money can’t buy . Fast, efficient and a reliable transport system . Comfortable seating with glass cabin and WiFi on board . Great new way to take a tourist around Dubai and Sharjah

Cons . Price is slightly steep for a daily commuter (Dh15 for Silver Class and Dh25 for Gold) . Poor public transport connectivity with Sharjah’s Aquarium station (feeder bus does not cover key parts of the emirate) . Long waiting time. If you’re not aware of the schedule, you could end up waiting from 30 to 90 minutes

  Public transport – a practical choice

At exactly 8am in the morning, we joined other commuters inside the air-conditioned bus stop in front of Sharjah City Centre.

The E303 bus – which would take us directly to the Union Metro Station in Dubai – arrived within 10 minutes and we were off. Schools were closed due to the summer break and we encountered almost no traffic on the roads. However, all that changed when we got closer to Ansar Mall and finally hit the infamous Sharjah-Dubai highway traffic.

The next 15 minutes saw us fighting the slow-moving traffic jam. Things began to look up again as we approached and finally took the dedicated track for RTA buses and taxis. The track helped us avoid the majority of the traffic that was entering Dubai from the main highway. So far, we had clocked in around 25 minutes of travel time on the bus.

Another 15 minutes finally saw us approaching the Union Metro Station. Once inside, we took a small detour to check the balance on our Nol cards and ensure that we were topped up for the return journey.

We then rode the Metro and, less than five minutes later, we stepped out at Burjuman Metro Station and logged in the end of our journey.

Travel time: 45 minutes (excluding waiting time) Cost: Dh18 (per person) Reached Burjuman at 9.10am

Pros . Comfortable journey . Smooth transition between buses and Metro stations . Air-conditioned bus stops . Dedicated RTA road

Cons . Multiple traffic signals . Nol card has to be topped up or you can’t ride the bus

Car – fastest but not energy-efficient

We left our start point at 8.04am and decided to take the E11 or Ittihad Road to Dubai. We took a detour to Business Bay Crossing to save money on one Salik toll.

The total journey took 46 minutes; however, we believe this was the case because schools are closed for the summer and several residents are not in town.

As expected, the traffic began ahead of Ansar Mall. We witnessed two traffic bottlenecks on the Industrial Area Interchange, as well as at Al Nahda Interchange on the Sharjah-Dubai highway.

While most morning commuters looked relaxed during their drive, safety was lax among several drivers as they cut lanes without indication and intimidated motorists who drove slower than the others.

During peak traffic time, even a minor accident can cause long tailbacks for every single commuter on the road. Fortunately, we faced no tailbacks during our journey on Monday and we crossed the peak traffic in 10 minutes.

As much as we enjoyed being the first to the finish line, we couldn’t help but think public transport is the more energy-efficient and affordable option.

Travel time: 45 minutes Cost: Dh24 (Dh4 for Salik; petrol at Dh2.18/litre for a 26km drive on an SUV) Reached Burjuman at 8.50am

Pros . Fastest way to travel . Allows one to leave at time of his or her convenience

Cons . Spent 10 minutes in traffic . Not energy-efficient . Additional cost for parking and vehicle maintenance, etc

  The KT Experiment as it happened:

Team A – Rohma Sadaqat and M. Sajjad ready to hop on to the bus

Team B – Dhanusha Gokulan and Rahul Gajjar to drive down

Team C – Abhishek Sengupta and Juidin Bernarrd to take the ferry

9:36am

Team C have made it exactly 1 hour 22 minutes since we started from Sharjah City Centre at a cost of Dh70 for two people.

Team B still made it ahead of competition. However, traffic was far more manageable given schools are closed and several residents are off for summer holidays. Under normal circumstances, this journey would’ve taken some more time.

Traffic impact study (TIS) could also be a strong tool for engineers and planners to figure out the possible effects of any project on the transportation and traffic system. Often it’s applied only to the direct impact area and countermeasures for potential negative impacts are specific for the event . Traffic impact study (TIS) is performed to assess the adequacy of the prevailing or future transportation infrastructure to accommodate additional trips generated by a proposed development, redevelopment or land rezoning. These studies vary in their range of detail and complexity relying on the type , size and site of the event . they’re important tools in assisting public agencies in making land use planning decisions for local governments, especially for managing traffic and in planning their respective transportation systems.

KT experiment: Ferry trip vs bus ride vs long drive in Dubai – News

The idea is to find out what’s the best optimum transport solution for an office goer who commutes daily from Sharjah to Dubai.

For thousands who live in Sharjah and work in Dubai, how to beat the traffic has long been the biggest conundrum. With the recent launch of the ferry service between the two emirates, negotiating a chock-a-block Ittihad Road every rush hour is no longer the only option to get to and from work. Is it the answer to residents’ traffic woes? Khaleej Times did an experiment on Monday: With Sharjah City Centre as our starting point at 8am, three KT teams ‘raced’ to BurJuman in Dubai. One team hopped aboard the new ferry; one took the bus; and another drove to the finish line.

Ferry – the most scenic journey

It took us just about 10 minutes and Dh15 on a Sharjah taxi to reach the Aquarium station, and another seven to eight minutes to locate the ticketing counter in the newly built station (but that’s a typical first-timer’s syndrome).

A catamaran was ashore and ready to set sail by 8.25am and within five minutes – right on the dot – we were sailing under the UAE’s cool blue skies, comfortably sat in a brand new 100-seater.

Thirty minutes later, we were in Dubai’s Al Ghubaiba marine station, just a long hop from Al Ghubaiba Metro Station. After 10 more minutes, we reached Bur Juman, our final destination.

We were the last to arrive among the three teams that took on three different modes of transport as part of our experiment. But that doesn’t tell you about the 20 minutes we spent taking photos of the marina while we were waiting for the ferry – neither does it say anything about the fascinating sights and sounds we sampled along the way, from the deck and from the comforts of the AC glass cabin.

Travel time: 50 minutes (excluding waiting time) Cost: Dh35 (per person) Reached Burjuman at 9.20am

Pros . Stunning sights that money can’t buy . Fast, efficient and a reliable transport system . Comfortable seating with glass cabin and WiFi on board . Great new way to take a tourist around Dubai and Sharjah

Cons . Price is slightly steep for a daily commuter (Dh15 for Silver Class and Dh25 for Gold) . Poor public transport connectivity with Sharjah’s Aquarium station (feeder bus does not cover key parts of the emirate) . Long waiting time. If you’re not aware of the schedule, you could end up waiting from 30 to 90 minutes

  Public transport – a practical choice

At exactly 8am in the morning, we joined other commuters inside the air-conditioned bus stop in front of Sharjah City Centre.

The E303 bus – which would take us directly to the Union Metro Station in Dubai – arrived within 10 minutes and we were off. Schools were closed due to the summer break and we encountered almost no traffic on the roads. However, all that changed when we got closer to Ansar Mall and finally hit the infamous Sharjah-Dubai highway traffic.

The next 15 minutes saw us fighting the slow-moving traffic jam. Things began to look up again as we approached and finally took the dedicated track for RTA buses and taxis. The track helped us avoid the majority of the traffic that was entering Dubai from the main highway. So far, we had clocked in around 25 minutes of travel time on the bus.

Another 15 minutes finally saw us approaching the Union Metro Station. Once inside, we took a small detour to check the balance on our Nol cards and ensure that we were topped up for the return journey.

We then rode the Metro and, less than five minutes later, we stepped out at Burjuman Metro Station and logged in the end of our journey.

Travel time: 45 minutes (excluding waiting time) Cost: Dh18 (per person) Reached Burjuman at 9.10am

Pros . Comfortable journey . Smooth transition between buses and Metro stations . Air-conditioned bus stops . Dedicated RTA road

Cons . Multiple traffic signals . Nol card has to be topped up or you can’t ride the bus

Car – fastest but not energy-efficient

We left our start point at 8.04am and decided to take the E11 or Ittihad Road to Dubai. We took a detour to Business Bay Crossing to save money on one Salik toll.

The total journey took 46 minutes; however, we believe this was the case because schools are closed for the summer and several residents are not in town.

As expected, the traffic began ahead of Ansar Mall. We witnessed two traffic bottlenecks on the Industrial Area Interchange, as well as at Al Nahda Interchange on the Sharjah-Dubai highway.

While most morning commuters looked relaxed during their drive, safety was lax among several drivers as they cut lanes without indication and intimidated motorists who drove slower than the others.

During peak traffic time, even a minor accident can cause long tailbacks for every single commuter on the road. Fortunately, we faced no tailbacks during our journey on Monday and we crossed the peak traffic in 10 minutes.

As much as we enjoyed being the first to the finish line, we couldn’t help but think public transport is the more energy-efficient and affordable option.

Travel time: 45 minutes Cost: Dh24 (Dh4 for Salik; petrol at Dh2.18/litre for a 26km drive on an SUV) Reached Burjuman at 8.50am

Pros . Fastest way to travel . Allows one to leave at time of his or her convenience

Cons . Spent 10 minutes in traffic . Not energy-efficient . Additional cost for parking and vehicle maintenance, etc

  The KT Experiment as it happened:

Team A – Rohma Sadaqat and M. Sajjad ready to hop on to the bus

Team B – Dhanusha Gokulan and Rahul Gajjar to drive down

Team C – Abhishek Sengupta and Juidin Bernarrd to take the ferry

9:36am

Team C have made it exactly 1 hour 22 minutes since we started from Sharjah City Centre at a cost of Dh70 for two people.

Team B still made it ahead of competition. However, traffic was far more manageable given schools are closed and several residents are off for summer holidays. Under normal circumstances, this journey would’ve taken some more time.

Team B: Start Time- 8:04 am, Time at destination: 8:52am. Smooth sailing for most of the drive, with the only exception of bumper to bumper traffic on Al Ittihad Road. If we’d taken the Garoud Bridge, it would’ve saved us a few more minutes.
