Abstract

Rapid urbanization and increasing traffic congestion in Visakhapatnam have highlighted the need for an integrated transportation system capable of accommodating future mobility demands while minimizing land acquisition and disruption to existing urban infrastructure. This paper presents a conceptual proposal for a Multi-Tier Integrated Urban Mobility Corridor (MTIUMC) extending approximately 54 kilometres along the NH-16 corridor between Lankela palem Junction and Ananda Puram Junction. Although the concept has been developed specifically for the transportation requirements of Visakhapatnam, the underlying planning and engineering principles may also be studied and evaluated for application in other metropolitan regions facing similar urban transportation challenges. Subject to detailed technical, economic, and operational assessments, the proposed framework may be considered as a potential alternative or complementary approach to conventional urban mass transit systems, including metro rail, depending on the specific requirements and constraints of individual cities
