Critical decision behind every successful development requires strong basis of reliable data and information to create confidence in decision and production activity. Transportation related development such as road infrastructure, transportation services, freight planning, public mass transportation necessitates high capital investment, therefore, entails deep traffic study to warrants the investment. Traffic Survey and Traffic Study in Karachi is foremost step for feasibility study and planning of any development. Traffic surveys are activities to quantify the magnitude of states and parameters of traffic that is travelling through certain road segments.
Karachi, as major business hub of Pakistan, has seen many high investment transportation projects in last few decades. This includes road infrastructure projects such as Signal Free Corridors of National Highway, Rashid Minhas Road, Shahrah e Pakistan, University Road, Karsaz Road and Shahrah e Faisal, revamp of major roads as Shaheed e Millat Road, Hub River Road, Karachi Thatta Highway, Karachi Hyderabad Motorway, extension of Lyari Expressway, Northern Bypass, Malir Expressway, and grade separation at Drigh Road Underpass, Boat Basin Flyover, Underpasses at Shaheed e Millat Road, Tariq Road, Numaish Chowrangi and M.A. Jinnah Road, Flyover at Hasan Square, NIPA Chowrangi, Millennium Mall, Board Office, Bahria Icon Tower, Water Pump etc. Besides key modification to road infrastructure, authorities also turned their attention towards improving public transportation facilities to reduce traffic load on road network. This results in operation of public transportation service such as UTS Bus Service, People Bus Service, Qingqi Services as Shuttle Feeder Routes to serve frequent travelling routes of Karachi, improvements in existing bus transport specially of routes D7, W11, Marwat, Muslim, D1, D11, G11, and G25 etc. Moreover, long term master planning suggested to incorporate mass bus rapid transit services which results in development of BRT Services as Green Line, Orange Line, Red Line, Blue Line, Yellow Line, Aqua Line, and Karachi Circular Railway KCR Project. To further enhance vehicle occupancy, new ride and share services has been introduced in the city such as Uber, Careem, Bykea, Airlift and SWVL. All these projects are serving major localities of Karachi such as M.A Jinnah Road, Saddar, I.I. Chundrigar Road, Clifton, DHA, PECHS, Gulshan e Iqbal, Gulistan e Johar, Nazimabad, North Nazimabad, Gulberg, North Karachi, Surjani, SITE Area, Korangi and Landhi Industrial Area, Malir, Gadap, Bin Qasim Town, Naya Nazimabad, Bahria Town and DHA City. Other than Private Vehicle Transport, freight transportation also faces major overhaul to improve business activities and connection with different area of city and country. Projects serving freight transport includes improvement of Northern Bypass and Hub River Road N25, Korangi Road, National Highway N5, M9 N5 Link Road Eastern Bypass to make ring like network all around city to provide connectivity to major industrial centers of SITE Area, Shershah, Nazimabad Industrial Area, Landhi Industrial Area, Korangi Industrial Area with Karachi Port Trust KPT and Port Qasim.
Despite development of high-profile transportation projects in Karachi, Road Infrastructure is still operating in distress and pressure. There could be many reasons for this deteriorated and congested traffic condition in Karachi including increase in vehicle ownership, less reliable public transportation, increase dependency on motorbikes, inefficient traffic management and enforcement etc. One of foremost reason for inefficiency of these projects is unreliable data collection during feasibility and planning of project and poor practices in traffic surveys in Karachi. Efficient planning and design of road construction, renovation and maintenance works require accurate overview of existing transportation situation for assessment of economic feasibility and to quantify consequences of planned measure. Optimized decisions and plans highly depends on accuracy and quality of relevant data and its source. Traffic Surveys aim to capture precisely to reflect the real-world condition.
