Key enablers influencing the realization of green corridor for the Emergency Vehicles in India using ISM approach

Abstract

The sustainable development of traffic conditions in the urban area is hindered by the improper management of traffic. The characteristics of traffic congestion in the Urban areas vary under the influence of different conditions, such as different day and time of week, count of vehicles on road, causality on road and the parking of vehicles etc. It is necessary to set up the relationships between traffic congestion patterns and those influencing factors, when we conduct macroscopic analysis on the causes of traffic congestion. The bottleneck situation arising out of congestion has made the commuting of Emergency Vehicles(EV) a tedious and tough job. The rationale of this work is to pay heed to the way the Emergency Vehicles commute in order to decline their travel time and provide a clear path. The paper probes into several key issues or key enablers that need to be managed properly in order to have an organised traffic. The work has been carried out on the basis of the previous studies and the discernment of the proficient involved in management of traffic. In this work, a technique named, Interpretive Structure Modelling(ISM) has been employed, for comprehending the hierarchical and contextual affiliation structure amongst the various key enablers.
