2. Objective
The report aims at achieving the following: Finding the high traffic points within IIT. Estimating peak times when traffic is high. Conducting a survey from the residents of IIT to know from them if they are aware about the Traffic circular, how they feel about traffic rules, what change would they like to bring, etc. Analyzing the data collected from the survey. Presenting a viable and implementable solution to solve the problem of traffic within IIT.
3. The Problem
IIT Kharagpur was established in 1951. The roads within the campus were built long back which has made it difficult to cope with the increasing amount of traffic at peak times. This is causing problems to students, faculties and other inmates of IIT. We can study the magnitude of problem by taking into the population of IIT and estimating the number of vehicles driven within IIT.
4. Survey Methodology
To collect the data regarding the problem of traffic within IIT, we adopted the following methodologies: i. Online Survey: The survey was created on surveymonkey.com at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/M6RDQMT, and was pasted in different facebook groups containing students and other IITians. 74 responses were received and recorded. Some the facebooks groups where it was posted are: IIT Kharagpur (https://www.facebook.com/groups/kgpians/) MMM Hall Council (https://www.facebook.com/groups/416345798478294/) Vgsom2015-Mhrm2015 Interaction (https://www.facebook.com/groups/507780235979936/)
The main data collection points in our survey have been shown in the map:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Tikka Circle Main Building Circle Vikramshila Circle Gymkhana Tech Market
For this question, only 40.54% of the respondents said that they had heard about this circular. Analysis: There can be many reasons for it. Some of them are listed below: 1. Circular was not communicated properly The notice was sent to all the departmental offices but not to each and every individual. Should have been sent to the personal mail ids of all the students and faculties. 2. Lack of interest shown by people in reading the circular People usually give less importance to public circulars which are not related to monetary policies.
Only 41.89% of the respondents replied in affirmative. Analysis: The response for this question challenges many prejudices. Its usually believed that youngsters and students feel bounded by traffic rules and are prone to breaking it. Assuming that most of our respondents were students (they constitute a majority of the IIT population), it was surprising that close to 60% of them did not feel bounded by these regulations. Some of the reasons could be:
The responses were mainly concentrated in the first three options. Analysis: Although there were five options, an overwhelming 58.11% of the respondents said that the Main Building Circle was the most congested place. Some reasons for these are:

62.16% people feel that people do not obey traffic rules. Analysis: The response shows a serious concern about whether traffic regulations are being followed in IIT. Surprisingly, while most people said they do not feel bounded by traffic regulations (Question 2), most of them also feel that traffic rules arent being followed. This shows that

This was an open question and people could write their response freely. Analysis: Many people stuck to No suggestion kind of response. This might be due to lack of ineterst or time shortage. But many of them came up with suggestions. Some of them were: 1. CCTVs at junctions 2. Fines for defaulters 3. Restrict outside vehicle (especially 2-wheeler)

2) Security Checks: As we look into the information gathered in the survey, most of the respondents have highlighted the insecurity because of the outsiders driving the motor

3) Close Circuit Cameras: Traffic cameras are most effective when dealing with Traffic problems. Some surveillance cameras can be put on the roads at various points where maximum traffic is expected. The output of these cameras should be sent at the entrances where guards stand so that offenders of traffic rules do not get away just like that. These traffic cameras calculate the speeds also, so checks on speed can also be brought by using this method.

b. The circular can be sent to all the IITians to their personal and professional IDs. They should be asked to sign the document and submit it to academic departments. Supreme Court made it mandatory for all the higher education students to sign the Ragging form and submit it to the college. In the same way, IIT can implement this circular to be submitted by students. In this way, students will read the rules as well as actions may be taken against those who did not follow the rules. c. In the first semester, a small lesson on Traffic awareness should be introduced in any of the subjects which appeal to environment or any other similar subject. Though we can believe that all the IIT students are aware of the general traffic rules, but adding a chapter like this will remind them of their responsibilities towards other fellow IITians. d. All the IITians are very much active on the Social media; this can be effectively utilized to educate them about the traffic rules. Videos can also be shared on the official page of IIT KGP so that it gets maximum attention. The page can also post some of the unfortunate stories, images or videos which take place in the other part of the worlds because of the traffic rules violation. Social media can be used

7. Conclusion
In this Traffic Circular Survey assignment, first we discuss about the circular which has been passed at IIT Kharagpur regarding traffic rules. Then we go on discussing about the objectives of this survey report. We also discuss about the main reason of the problem which is the huge number of vehicles and cycles in the campus. In this part, we make some approximations while calculating the numbers owned by various bodies that access the campus of IIT Kharagpur on their transport modes. The information collected in this survey has been gathered online, personally and through interpersonal communications. Survey results have been analyzed in detail with properly researched explanations. We have also tried to find the reasons for the survey results. Responses by the respondents have been captured in the survey report as well to understand the view of fellow IITians. At the end, we have worked on effectively communicating and implementing the Traffic Circular across IIT. In this part, we have made some recommendations which we feel if implemented will bring a positive change in the current traffic situation.
