Integrated Planning and Development of KSRTC Bus Terminal Thrissur

Abstract

This project focuses on the comprehensive planning, design, and structural analysis of a modern, sustainable bus terminal to enhance urban mobility and transportation efficiency. The proposal integrates essential infrastructure, including a fully functional terminal building, dedicated parking zones for buses, cars, and bikes, and a pedestrian-friendly walkway connecting the terminal to the railway station for seamless multimodal connectivity. The objective is to create a user-friendly, structurally sound facility that ensures optimal traffic flow and passenger convenience. Structural analysis ensures safety and compliance with IS codes, while quantity surveying and cost estimation assess material requirements and feasibility. Preliminary findings show that the integrated design improves space utilization, reduces congestion, and enhances the passenger experience. By incorporating sustainability and structural optimization, the project offers a cost-effective, efficient, and future-ready transport hub for Thrissur.
