Impact Assessment of Ring Road in Haridwar and National Highway Connectivity on Haridwar-Rishikesh Metro Ridership

An exclusive mass rapid transit (MRT) system is planned to connect Dehradun, Rishikesh, and Haridwar cities. A detailed project report (DPR) was prepared to estimate the ridership for different corridors of the proposed metro routes for the base year (2017) and horizon years. In the last few years, a few developments have been proposed in the region; they are a ring road in Haridwar and an up-gradation of National Highway connectivity between Haridwar and Rishikesh. The Haridwar-Rishikesh metro line coincides with the National Highway between the two cities. In this case study, an assessment of the impacts of these developments on the metro ridership for the horizon year 2021 is performed. A model is developed using the available Origin-Destination (OD) matrix data and scenarios are developed for both base and horizon years. In addition to model development, a questionnaire survey was carried out to assess the current situation (i.e., choices post-up-gradation of the National Highway between Haridwar and Rishikesh). The results show that the introduction of the ring road is likely to reduce the metro share in the range of 0.1–1.4%, which is only marginal, and NH up-gradation is expected to reduce the metro share in the range of 3.5–5.0%, which is minor yet expected based on the input OD matrix.
