Platform screen doors at Metro stations soon

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Delhi Metro is gearing up to install platform screen doors (PSDs) at its stations. Keeping in mind the rising Metro footfalls and the problems in crowd management, DMRC has identified six Metro stations where these doors will be installed.
Chawri Bazaar in the Yellow Line will be the first station to have PSDs for which the work has already begun. Officials said the doors will be ready by early next year. This will be followed by Central Secretariat, Rajiv Chowk, New Delhi, Chandni Chowk and Kashmere Gate.

All the stations under phase III will have PSDs, apart from six stations identified under phase II.

According to officials, the stations of the upcoming Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar, and Janakpuri west-Botanical Garden corridors of phase III will also have the door. “The contract has been awarded to a consortium of Korean and Indian firms, which is working with the technical team of DMRC,“ said an official.

Of late, the rising incidents of suicides on Metro tracks, security con cerns and difficulty in manning the crowds has necessitated installing these doors. In 2015, there have been about 30 suicide attempts on Metro tracks.

The height of the doors will be 1.7m and one side of the platform will have 64 display panels for advertisements.

“These screens can be installed only during non-revenue hours on the av ailability of blocks. Lot of integration is required with various components of Metro operations for smooth functioning of the PSDs,“ said an official.

 
PHASE-III - Metro plans easy access with nine multi-modal stations

New Delhi:
Last-Mile Connectivity In Focus; Pedestrians To Get Maximum Priority
Picture this:
a Metro station with dedicated pedestrian pathways, parking bays for autorickshaws and e-rickshaws as well as cycle stands and a crossing junction. For a city which finds unhindered passenger and traffic movement an almost alien concept, Delhi Metro has a treat in store.

DMRC, which is in the final stage of construction of lines 7 and 8, will design and construct nine stations with multi-modal integration (MMI) points.

The stations identified for this purpose are Mayur Vihar Phase-I, Trilokpuri, Vinod Nagar (east and west), IP Extension and Mayur Vihar Pocket-I in line 7 (Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar). For line 8 (Janakpuri West to Kalindi Kunj), the stations that will have multi-modal integration are Okhla, Ishwar Nagar, Jasola and Jamia.

The MMI design requires planned infrastructure development around the station.

A DMRC spokesman said, “Delhi Metro is taking steps to provide commuters with various facilities at upcoming Metro stations of phase III, with maximum priority to pedestrians.“

As part of the MMI design, the 300m radius of the station will be developed so as to provide easy and safe dispersion of commuters to wards the bus stop, non-motorised vehicle lane or cycle stand. It will also provide de dicated bays for autos, erickshaws and feeder buses.

“The MMI proposals have been finalised by UTTIPEC in close coordination with DMRC, traffic police, agenci es such as DDA, PWD, corporations. The proposals have been approved by the LG,“ he added.

As part of the design, the re will be a drop-off point for commuters. The DMRC official said, “Crossing junctions have been proposed for improved visibility and shortened road crossing time. The pedestrian movement has further been facilitated through way finding signage and traffic-calming measures at appropriate locations.“

That's not all. “To provide safe and economical last-mile connectivity , a feeder bus service with improved frequency is being proposed,“ the official added. Separate cycle tracks will also be available at these stations, along with the provision for cycle parking or rental facility .

DMRC is proposing to have a hawkers' hub at the stations. “Hawkers hub will be created in an organised way --small kiosks will be provided outside the station,“ said the DMRC official.

This will help ensure that the small food stalls that invariably crop up near stations are located in such a way that they do not disturb the flow of traffic and commuters from the station.

Bus stops will also be located in the range of 50m from the stations, as per UTTIPEC guidelines, added the Delhi Metro official.

The new station at ITO and Mandi House, both of which are part of the Heritage line, have been provided with some of the MMI features, said the official.

The Delhi Metro is set to add 104km to its network after the Arvind Kejriwal cabinet on Friday gave the much-awaited clearance to the six-line fourth phase that will boost connectivity to the Capital’s outskirts, the airport and south Delhi.
The Delhi government had in May given in-principal approval but the Centre returned the file, as it didn’t make a provision for the project’s funding.
The cabinet cleared the financial arrangement and in six years, the Metro would have six more lines, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said.
The project will cost Rs 50,000 crore. Usually 70% of the funds come through loan and the remaining 30% cost is borne equally by the Delhi government and the Centre.

Phase 3 will get operational in a staggered manner. The first launch is expected sometime later this month and the last in September.
The new lines will expand the Metro network to 434km and 308 stations. The daily ridership is likely to go up to 6.3 million from the current 2.8 million.
 
Delhi Metro to construct bridge over Yamuna for new line

The DMRC has started constructing a bridge over the Yamuna on its upcoming Majlis Park-Maujpur corridor, in what will be the Metro’s fifth leap over the river.
The new 560-metre-long bridge, part of Metro’s Phase IV expansion project, will come up between the iconic Signature Bridge and Wazirabad Bridge. It will connect the proposed Soorghat and Sonia Vihar stations.
“This will be the first ever Metro bridge over Yamuna to be built using the cantilever construction method, under which horizontal structures stretch out from pillars that are supported only on one end. The Signature Bridge was also built following this method. It will make the bridge look better,” a DMRC official said.

The design of the bridge was finalised using the ‘Building Information Modeling’ (BIM) technology, through which a 3D model of the bridge was created with intricate details of the proposed structure, DMRC said in a statement.
“For the finalisation of the Phase 4 designs, DMRC’s engineers are using the BIM platform, through which they have been able to finalise the designs even during the days of the pandemic when physical meetings weren’t possible. All mandatory approvals from the concerned agencies have been obtained for the construction of the bridge,” it added.
