5. What was the issue identified in IRC:106, 1990 (Guidelines for Capacity if Urban Roads in Plain Areas)?
a) Doesn’t address cycle infrastructure
b) Cycle as a mode was not considered
c) Parking space for NMT is absent
d) Identifies cycle as a threat
View Answer
Explanation: The issue identified in IRC:106, 1990 (Guidelines for Capacity if Urban Roads in Plain Areas) is that cycle as a mode was not considered. Another issue was to improve the capacity of roadway, and suggestion was made to impose constrain on slow-moving vehicle.
6. Which of the following factors does not affect the NMT network?
a) Reduction of speed of motorized vehicles
b) Merging safest and fastest route
c) Signalized paths
d) Improving visibility at intersections
View Answer
Explanation: The factor which does not affect the NMT network is signalized paths for Non-Motorised Transport network. Signals are not required in a Non-Motorised Transport path.
7. What is the data source for Trip Production Pattern in an NMT plan?
a) Household Interview Data
b) Ward Map
c) Property Tax Data
d) Traffic Volume Counts
View Answer
Explanation: The data source for Trip Production Pattern in an NMT plan is Household Interview Data. Comprehensive Mobility Plan of the city is also a data source for Trip Production Pattern in an NMT plan. Traffic Volume Counts are for Traffic Assignment.
8. Why is Travel Demand Model required?
a) To recreate the road network and travel pattern
b) To recreate the road network only
c) To recreate the travel pattern only
d) To recreate the travel pattern and footpaths
View Answer
Explanation: Travel Demand Model is required to recreate the road network and travel pattern. This model is used in modelling software to test various measures to refine the existing NMT network.
9. Trip distribution in NMT is carried out based on _____
a) Pedestrian Compatibility Index
b) Cycle Compatibility Index
c) Vehicle Compatibility Index
d) Trip Compatibility Index
View Answer
Explanation: Trip distribution in NMT (Non-Motorised Transport) is carried out based on the Cycle Compatibility Index (BCI). This index was introduced by University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Centre.
10. What is the data source for Road Network in an NMT plan?
a) Household Interview Data
b) Ward Map
c) Property Tax Data
d) Land Use Data
View Answer
Explanation: Property Tax Data is the data source which provides information for Road Network in an NMT plan. Other data sources are primary data for road inventory and link speeds and secondary data on road widths.
11. What is the WALK interval when the number of pedestrians is 10?
a) 4 s
b) 5.9 s
c) 6.2 s
d) 10 s
View Answer
Explanation: WALK = 3.2 + 0.27 Npeds
= 3.2 + 0.27 X 10 = 5.9 s.
