NEED FOR METRO

• Has one of India’s important port• Centre for higher education• Biggest shipping yard• Population density is 6300 persons per sq. Km• Population of Cochin has been growing at a

rate of 1.4% per annum.

ADVANTAGE OF METRO

• Requires 1/5th energy per passenger km compared to road-based system

• Causes no air pollution in the city• Causes lesser noise level• Is more reliable, comfortable and safer than

road based system• Reduces journey time by 50 to 75%.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

• Work on project began on 7th June 2013• Linking Alwaye to Petta• Route Length 25.360 Km• Number of Stations 23• The train frequency will be 5 min headway

with 3 - Car train in Alwaye -Petta Corridor during peak hours and 15 min headway during lean hours.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

• Construction Methodology: Elevated viaduct carried over pre-stressed concrete ‘U/I’ shaped girders with pile / open foundations

• Rolling Stock: 2.9 m wide modern rolling stock with stainless steel body, standard gauge axle load of 15 tones

• Voltage: 750 V DC

Continued……………

• Power Supply Source: 110Kv AC• Type of Signaling: Communication Based Train

Control (CBTC) with ATO & ATP• Telecommunication: Integrated system with

Fiber Optic cables, SCADA, Train radio, PA system etc.

DOCUMENTS AND VARIANCE APPLIED ON THE PROJECT

• Firstly Alwaye to Tripunithura corridor was to be constructed but after carrying out the detailed engineering feasibility study for this corridor, it was found that construction of Petta to Tripunithura section of this corridor is not feasible. Accordingly, the ridership on truncated corridor from Alwaye to Petta was worked out which is marginally less from the ridership of Alwaye to Tripunithura Corridor

Cont..

In view of the above, the Metro Corridor is recommended from Alwaye to Petta for a length of 25.360 km.

Corridor PHPDT Daily Readership in 2011

Alwaye to Tripunithura 14589 404293

Alwaye to Petta 13681 381868

CONCLUSION

• Viability of metro projects depends upon correct defining of traffic corridors, technology adapted, availability of land, volume of traffic carried, capacity utilization and acceptance of mode by the commuters.
