1.1 INTRODUCTION
•
A metro station is a railway station for a rapid transit system, which as a whole is
usually called a Metro.
•
The location of a metro station is carefully planned to provide easy access to
important urban facilities such as roads, commercial centres,
major buildings and other transport nodes.
•
The station provides a means for passengers to purchase tickets, access trains
stopping at its platforms and evacuate the system in the case of an emergency
•
Complex are provided for shops, commercial offices and recreational spaces
for people to spend their time.
•
Due to ever increasing demand of commuting population URBAN AREAS in the
existing surface transport facilities have been found to be very inadequate.
•
Many modern cities would crumble under our feet if they could not provide fast
and reliable way of transport for millions of their citizens traveling to work or
simply wanting to explore the city whose streets were not designed to support
ever increasing number of automobiles. Solution for this is called metro system.
Importance of metro system
•
A metro system is often viewed as back bone of large city public transportation
system as volume of carrying passengers is very high.
•
A metro makes transportation less difficult reduce crowd on road and less
pollution.
•
Metro rail has often been used to show case economic achievements.
6
What is metro station?
•
A metro station or subway station is a station for a rapid transit system, often
known by names such as "metro" and "subway".
•
Such a station can be elevated, underground, or about ground level
depending on the level of the train tracks.
•
At crossings of metro lines, they are multi- level.
•
There are entrances/exits at ground/street level, often with stairs or sometimes
ramps or escalators leading to any elevated or lowered track level area.
•
The station of metro rail can be made in such a way that it is suitable for each
and every person to travel which includes of every suitable facility for people.
•
The station can be made at the best part which can includes shopping areas,
indoor game areas, automated parking, etc.
•
The station are the major parts of metro rail which can be developed in every
aspects which will make them suitable in design and comfort aspect.
•
The stations can also be constructed as a green station which includes of
economic facilities and to overcome all aspects the study of metro station is
important.
Types of station in system
1. Intermediate station serves only one line comprising two tracks, one on each
direction.
2. Interchange stations occur where two lines converge, ideally at a single station,
enabling passengers to change their lines.
3. Terminal stations occur at the end of the line.
7
1.1.1 AIM
•
To research various stations and to achieve harmonious metro station complex
with recreational space and offices for every well-being and visitors.
1.1.2 OBJECTIVES
•
To create a monotonous station with complex.
•
To provide and allocate proper space for people for incoming and outgoing of
people at metro station and complex.
•
To analyse the behaviour of people.
•
To understand various aspects inside the station and complex.
•
To give every service needed for the people with respect to proper functioning.
1.1.3 SCOPE AND LIMITATION
The study will highlight the user interface of people between the station and complex.
This project helps to gain in depth knowledge and functioning in metro station with
complex and introduce a certain amount of functioning within complex and station.
Terminal will also act like a tourism Centre to attract more and more people globally and
Also to conceived an iconic building.
The
project
is
conceived,
when
cities
having
population of more than 20 lakh were made eligible for having the metro rail system.
As this project is vast minute detailing will not be done. This project will be problem solving

1.1.5 About city
Introduction about city:
•
Nagpur, the second capital of the state of Maharashtra, is also the third largest
city in the state with area of 217 Sq. km.
•
Its Metro Region has a population of around 35 lakhs and an area of around
3576 Sq. km.
•
Nagpur is becoming one of the most developed city in IT sector.
•
The development in MIHAN will lead to a high rise up-growth of city with leading
to a positive factor.
•
The city boasts of being the geographical centre of the nation along with being
the ‘Orange City’ as well as the ‘Tiger Capital of India’ as it is a Gateway to
several tiger reserves in Central India.
Issues
•
To discourage private modes and encourage public transport once the level of
traffic along any travel corridor in one direction exceeds 8000 persons per hour.
•
Unprecedented growth of personal vehicles.
•
Growing traffic congestion.
•
Air pollution and traffic accidents has become a major concern.
•
To avoid congestion at peak hours.
•
Reduction in the average travel time of the commuters.
•
Also, a convenient place for commercial spaces and offices.
•
Metro’s are the highest capacity to transport people around cities.

City selection:
•
As Nagpur is becoming a large city in the central Indian state of Maharashtra
and developing rigorously to overcome the basic necessities of transport metro
is needed.
•
MIHAN Project is most primary development of Nagpur leading and will create
many job opportunities.
•
With the growing economic activity, it was necessary to plan for the metro
station complex so as to support the growth of the city.
•
One of the major impacts of economic development will be increased traffic on
the city roads.
•
Currently the Public Transportation System contributes only 10% of the total trips.
The motorized transport is dominated by two wheelers’ (28%) and so is the
vehicle ownership in the city (84% of all owned vehicles are two-wheelers). Thus,
there is a need for a safe, reliable, efficient, affordable, commuter friendly and
environmentally sustainable rapid public transport system for the Nagpur Metro
Region.

Metro Station at Delhi
1.2.1 About City
The capital city of New Delhi lies within India ‘s second largest metropolitan area simply
called Delhi. Today, Delhi ‘s extended population is approaching 22 million people,
and has created crowded conditions with extremely high demands on the public
transportation element. This led to the development of the Delhi Mass Rapid Transit
System or Delhi Metro as it is known. The success of this transport network that began
operations in December 2002 now sees it as not only the public transportation of
choice, but the model itself has become the standard for the development of other
systems across India.
1.2.2 INTRODUCTION
The construction of the first phase of DM was spread over 10 years during 1995-96 to
2004-05while that of the second phase, which started in 2005-2006 is expected to be
completed by 2010-11. Phases III and IV of DM will cover most of the remaining parts of
Delhi and even extend its services to some areas such as NOIDA and Gurgaon
belonging to the neighbouring states of Delhi and come under the National Capital
Territory. Unique feature of Delhi Metro is its integration with other modes of public
transport, enabling the commuters to conveniently interchange from one mode to
another. To increase ridership of Delhi Metro, feeder buses for metro stations are
operating.
13
In short, Delhi Metro is a trendsetter for such systems in other cities of the country and in
the South Asian region. Delhi Metro is a world-class metro.
To ensure reliability and safety in train operations, it is equipped with the most modern
communication and train control system. The Metro will totally transform our social
culture giving us a sense of discipline, cleanliness and enhance multi-fold development
of this cosmopolitan city.
1.2.3 SPECIAL FEATURES
•
The concept of a mass rapid transit for New Delhi first emerged from a traffic
and travel characteristics study which was carried out in the city in 1969.
•
Over the next several years, many official committees by a variety of
government departments were commissioned to examine issues related to
technology, route alignment, and governmental jurisdiction.
•
In 1984,the Urban Arts Commission came up with a proposal for developing a
multi-modal transport system, which would consist of constructing three
underground mass rapid transit corridors as well augmenting the city's
existing suburban railway and road transport networks.

1.2.4 NEED OF METRO STATION
1. The normal population growth and the movement of huge number of working
people from other parts of the countries.
2. The increase in per capita income due to healthy economy and the growing
population in urban areas lead to steep increase in ridership on the road (twowheelers, autos, cars and public transport buses), thus in turn lead to
tremendous traffic congestions on the urban road.
3. The growing demand for the transport in mega cities has serious effects on
urban ecosystems, especially due to the increased atmospheric pollution.
4. An ecologically sustainable urban transport system could be obtained by an
appropriate mix of alternative modes of transport resulting in the use of
environmentally friendly fuels and land use patterns. The introduction of CNG in
certain vehicles and switching of some portion of the transport demand to the
metro rail have resulted in a significant reduction of atmospheric pollution in
Delhi. The Delhi Metro provides multiple benefits: reduction in air pollution,
timesaving to passengers, reduction in accidents, reduction in traffic
congestion and fuel savings. There are incremental benefits and costs to a
number of economic agents: government, private transporters, passengers,
general public and unskilled labour.

themselves, purify their mind, body and soul, break through their fears and gain
the courage and trust that they need in order to shine and blossom into their
highest self.
•
A retreat can either be a time of solitude or a community experience. Some
retreats are held in silence, and on others there may be a great deal of
conversation, depending on the understanding and accepted practices of the
host facility and the participant.
Spirituality
•
Spirituality places an emphasis upon the well-being of the "mind-body-spirit".
Spirituality has often been associated with the interior life of the individual.
•
A spiritual seeker is neither a theist nor an atheist.
•
True spirituality is something that is found deep within oneself.
•
It is your way of loving, accepting and relating to the world and people around
you.
•
It cannot be found in a church or by believing in a certain way.
18

caring and sharing, responsibility, non-violence and peacefulness. It helps us
bond with others.
•
Humankind has an innate tendency to look for a joy that does not diminish, and
