Bangalore has implemented a visionary bike
sharing scheme to provide last-mile connectivity to its
new and expanding Namma Metro. The project,
designed, implemented, and operated by the private
electronics company Kerberon Automations, uses
their trademark technology of “Automated Tracking
and Control of Green Assets” (ATCAG) to promote
NMT use in the city. The most prolific use of this
ATCAG technology to date is in the bike sharing
system, which holds the distinction of being the first
and only fully automated bike sharing scheme in India.
Users pay Rs 1000 (refundable) for registration, after
which they can use the system’s cycles for up to one
hour at no charge, with Rs. 10 for each subsequent
hour. The system uses rechargeable smartcards in
which users are required to maintain at least a Rs. 250
balance. ATCAG Bike Share stations have been
installed at all six of the currently operational Namma
Metro stations and three other locations in the city,
with further expansion planned as the Metro
continues to grow. While the initial reaction to the
bike sharing system has been lukewarm – as of March
2013 there were only 40 registered users – the
advanced, revolutionary system is nevertheless an
important step towards an integrated multimodal
transport system in Bangalore, and a helpful model
for other Indian cities.

Bangalore is among the fastest growing cities in India
with a vehicle population of about 42 lakh vehicles
growing at the rate of 10 % per annum. With a
population of 8.5 million spread across an area of 741
square kilometres, the city is a nightmare for traffic
planners. Anticipating growth in the number of vehicles
and serious problems in management of traffic, the city
police have envisaged a Bangalore Traffic Improvement
Plan which is popularly known as B-TRAC Scheme. The
project covers the entire city, with the main objective
being to identify all systematic deficiencies within traffic
management and enforcement in a planned manner and
with appropriate application of Information and
Communication Tools (ICT) in the day-to-day operations
of the department of traffic police. The B-TRAC project
was divided into 5 phases between 2006 and 2011. The
main components of BTRAC projects are: Junction
Improvement, Intelligent Transport System,
Surveillance & Enforcement cameras, street furniture
such as road signage, painting of roads, education and
public awareness, and capacity building. Under this
project, 179 surveillance cameras,5 traffic enforcement
cameras, 340 signals running on solar energy,49 pelican
light signals for pedestrains and 20 Variable Message
Signs (VMS) have also been installed to relay live traffic
data for regulation, monitoring and enforcement. All this
data is being integrated in a TMC which will keep track
of traffic flow in the city. Finally, a road junction
improvement plan has also been taken up as a part of
the project.

Bangalore – a city of 8.5 million – has taken a
commendable step towards inclusive Transit-Oriented
Development in its bus stations. By constructing 10
modern, mixed-use Traffic Transit Management Centres
(TTMCs), the city provides a needed space for
multimodal integration under one roof. Users can now
park their cars and board a bus in one location, making
public transport easier and more attractive. The upper
floors of these depots are leased out for commercial
purposes, generating revenue for BMTC which can be
used for upkeep or elsewhere in the bus system. As this
project embodies many of the core principles of the
National Urban Transport Policy, including promotion of
public transport and encouraging integration between
transport modes, it is a development strategy that other
Indian cities would do well to follow.
Focus of the programme shall be on:
(1) Actual, demonstrable performance in terms of sustained loss
reduction.
(2) Establishment of reliable and automated systems for sustained
collection of accurate base line data.
(3) Adoption of Information Technology in the areas of energy
accounting will be essential before taking up the regular distributionstrengthening projects.
It is proposed to cover urban areas - towns and cities with population
of more than 30,000 as per the 2001 Census will be covered. Projects
under the scheme are taken up in two Parts.
The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation
(BMTC) has achieved remarkable degrees of success in
providing public transport for Bangalore - a city of 8.5
million, and the fifth-largest urban population in India.
Through sound management policies that foster
innovation and improvements, strong leadership,
transparency, public relations, and effective branding,
the organization has been shown to be a paragon of
excellence for other providers in India and abroad.
BMTC consistently enjoys surplus revenue, rare for a
transit provider of its size. It adapts to new
technology, equipping its bus fleet with GPS,
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and Passenger
Information Systems (PIS); has established several
Traffic Transit Management Centres; and makes all
essential information regarding passenger travel
available online. BMTC is also committed to
protecting the environment by equipping all bus
depots with the latest emission testing facilities, using
Ultra Low Sulphur High speed diesel and other
alternative fuels. Moreover, its HR policies dictate
that drivers be screened and trained to maintain high
safety records, and that they receive fair
remuneration. BMTC now has a bus fleet of 6476
vehicles, and should continue to grow and improve
with the city of Bangalore. Recently BMTC has
implemented “Vajra,” a new high quality airport direct
service using Volvo buses, and “Atal Sarige,” a special
subsidized operation geared toward the city’s urban
poor.

HVDS is a technology where the Electricity is Distributed to the
consumers at Higher Voltage Level (llkV) instead of Low Voltage
level (400V1240V).
~ Normally in the present distribution network, the 11kV HT line goes to
the DTC (Distribution Transformer Centre) and from there lengthy LT Lines (400V1240V) are drawn to give supply to different installations.
In HVDS System the HT lines are run up to the installation premises and there it is stepped down through a transformer before giving supply through service main.
The Kamataka Electricity Regulatory Commission has issued various directives with a view to reduce high levels of technical and commercial losses in the distribution system.
