3. Objectives of the study

1. This is a Parking & Traffic Management study to address the concerns related to
safety of motorcyclists and pedestrians, traffic flow and parking area design. The study
will follow the engagement process of drivers and all related stakeholders. Necessary
data collection will be conducted including traffic volumes, topographical features, road
inventory, accidents data etc. The study will determine the issues and analyze
alternative solutions to the overarching goals.
2. To prepare a detailed Traffic Management Study document for the terminal
including but not limited to the following scope of services:
a. Master Planning of Terminal Area
b. Redesigning of Truck Parking Area
c. Signage Plan for Truck Parking Area
d. Road Marking Plan for Parking Bays and Vehicular Circulation
e. Motorcycle Parking and Circulation Plan
f. Pedestrian Movement Plan
g. Traffic Calming Plan

4. Scope of Services
The scope of services for this study is organized into the following major tasks as listed
and summarized below. Each major task is subdivided into subtasks showing the scope
of major tasks and desired output of the study.

Task 1: Master Planning of the Terminal Area

Task 2: Redesigning of Truck Parking Area

 Inventory of parking area, adjacent roads and loading area
 A full day (24 hour) parking demand survey
 Classification of vehicles accessing the parking area
 Improved layout plan for parking of trucks to meet maximum parking
demand
 Circulation plan for trucks from premises entering to parking area and vice-
versa
Task 3: Signage Plan for Truck Parking Area
 Analysis of existing signage pattern
 Identification of all important points for signage installation

per international standards
 Detail of each type of road marking (size, color, directional arrows and other
features in parking area like kerb stones)
Task 5: Motorcycle Parking and Circulation
 A full day survey to assess motorcycle parking demand in plant area
 Analysis of existing parking capacity and pattern of circulation for
motorcycles
 Preparation of proposed motorcycle parking plans. Segregated motorcycle
circulation from truck movement should be taken into consideration to
minimize conflicting points
