1 COIMBATORE AREA RAPID TRANSPORT- CART

2 CART Monorail project PRESENTATED BY. Ramasamy Raveendran - Hon. Secretary Mahadevan Parasuraman - Consultant Sankrishnan - Chicago

3 Coimbatore - A fast developing city of India

4 THE MANIFESTATION OF THE CITY S GROWTH An emerging IT Techno polis Operational and upcoming IT Parks and SEZs An ever growing presence of MNC companies Engineering Hub A leader in heavy and light engineering Foundries, Motors and Auto component hub The Manchester of South Coimbatore and Tirupur have the maximum textile activity in the Tamilnadu Lot of investment flowing in the sector

5 An education hub with nine universities, 100 arts and science colleges and 80 engineering colleges and many medical and management institutions. A health care hub with quality multi and super speciality hospitals and affordable treatment for all sectors and an emerging global centre of medical tourism. A fast emerging metropolis, Coimbatore is a favourite investment destination for many as shown by the upcoming residential projects in the city sprawling up.

6 A pool of quality hotels and resorts make the lifestyle here cosmopolitan. Major players are making a bee line here including Taj, Le Meridian, Radisson, Hilton, Welcome, Marriott and so on. Coimbatore is a hot place for meetings and debate with major infrastructure for MICE, with the CODISSIA trade fair complex and many convention centres being here. The city also has many restaurants. An upcoming destination for malls and multiplexes, Coimbatore is noted for its textile and jewel showrooms and lot of super and hyper markets. A number of multi cuisine restaurants and multiplexes and other lifestyle stores make the city a favourite spot.

7 Why Kovai? Most livable city in India (Rank 10) Source Institute of Competitiveness Top global outsourcing city (Rank 17) Source - Tholons Best investment climate (Rank 4) Source - CII

8 This has resulted in rapid expansion of the city s population growth. Year Population of LPA % growth Population Projected population by lakh

9 An airport that is congested and needs much development. A bustling railway station that lacks many facilities. Nearly half a dozen bus terminals scattered all over the city. Narrow main roads are not compatible for Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) But there has been little development in infrastructure front.

10 The vehicle growth in the city has been alarming and the burden has been felt on the city roads. 4.7 lakh vehicles presently Projected - 10 lakh by 2020

11 Need for CART Any city with a population of one million and above should start thinking seriously of having at least one or a combination of mass transport systems. And Coimbatore is no exception with its urban population at 2.15 million.

12 Even cities with far less population than Coimbatore in neighboring Kerala are getting these projects.

15 The need for rail based transit system. Rail based mass transit systems are more efficient, fast moving, eco friendly and have greater carrying capacity than road based systems. Finally, it has been found that a Mono rail system will best suit the tex city given its congested and narrow roads. This will be followed by suburban rail system to all neighbouring towns.

16 COIMBATORE AREA RAPID TRANSIT (CART) THE MONORAIL PROJECT

17 The Monorail Technology. The monorail system runs on a horizontal beam. The system propels by electric motors. The system can be automatic or driver operated. System is compact and suitable for growing cities like Kovai. 17

18 The advantages of Monorail. Easy to implement and cost effective than Metro. Won t consume much space on the road and can be built on road medians. Won t disturb traffic during construction as it can be pre fabricated and erected on site. 18

19 Benefits of Monorail. Reduction in road traffic and less time consuming for commuters. Reduction in fuel consumption (vehicle operating cost) and less pollution levels. Reduction in accidents and lower maintenance costs. 19

20 Linear and Circular systems There will be both linear system as well as a couple of circular loop systems for the proposed Monorail system. The linear line will have dual carriage facility or double beam structure while the loop lines will have single beam carriage way, thus facilitating a circular loop. The lines will overlap and there will be interchanges with other lines and rapid transit lines. 20

21 The routes. The East West Corridor from Airport to TNAU through the city which will be a dual way linear corridor. Loop 1 Northern Circular Loop Loop 2 Southern Circular Loop 21
