Stations/Area Planning

Terminal designs for railway stations have always been complex, owing to its varied technical and utilitarian functions. The design, its operations and provision of facilities have to be in the complete interest of the passengers. The various aspects that go into conceptualizing terminal design include,

• Overall layout design in relation to its functionality.
• Its integration with other systems for interchange facilities.
• Regional and local accessibility.
• The provision of facilities
• Finally, the overall image of the terminal station.

Apart from these, very important aspect of terminal design considering the passenger is the signage and information system which is prerequisite for such areas where there is high degree of dependency for information.
