A note from the judges about the competition
Judges: Smt Aneeta Gokhale-Benninger, Shri Ranjeet Gadgil, Smt Pranjali Deshpande-Agashe
About the entries
We were amazed by the sheer work put into the models, the detailing. There were working models, write-ups, reports, photographs and more.
It was an exciting experience to judge the proposals by students on various transportation issues. Some of the participants came up with really good innovative solutions such as pedestrianization, cyclists priorities, use of Intelligent Transport System for road safety, expansion of railway network in the region, environment friendly solutions etc. It was wonderful to see that the current generation is sensitive towards sustainability and "streets for people, not for vehicles".
Efforts for addressing equitable distribution of road space by providing BRT with overtaking lanes, public spaces to complement vibrant streets in the winning entry are highly appreciable.
Innovative ITS solutions, research on the topic from various sources are highly commendable.
How did we rate the entries?
We scored models that chose solutions which were clearly focused on people, not vehicles. And those that considered the needs of ALL citizens, especially young and old, pedestrians, cyclists.
All the proposals were marked on the basis of sustainability, environment friendliness, ease in implementation, innovations, possibility of replication as well as percent of people benefited.
Simplicity of the solution, ease in implementation, safety of vulnerable road users and ease in adopting the same model for most of the intersections are main features of the winning entries.
