3. OBJECTIVES
•
To prepare the rescue map with the information of rescue
service providers and rescue routes within the
Kathmandu Ring-Road.
•
To locate the High Accident Prone Places.
•
To present the information(Phone no. and locations with
name) of Rescue( Emergency) service providers on the
same map.
•
3
To learn, how the rescue operation is done and provide
necessary information in map if any.

According to Metropolitan Traffic Police Division, on an average 15 accidents occur in
Kathmandu everyday many of them fatal. Last month alone 454 accidents occurred and 12
persons were killed.

Map features
Primary (Rescue) features
The features that are
concerned with the rescue
operation is called the rescue
features. These features
include Hospitals , Police
Stations, Fire Brigade and One
way traffic. The rescue
features are highlighted in the
11
map.
Secondary features
All the other contents which
would make the map more
readable and user-friendly are
the secondary features. The
secondary features include the
local place names, important
buildings name, water bodies
and other prominent features

14. MAP SCALE
Scale: The scale to which a map is
drawn represents the ratio of the
distance between two points on
the map and the distance between
the two corresponding points on
the earth.
The rescue map is printed in:
Ø1: 12,000

18. FACTS AND CAUTIONS FOUND
DURING OUR STUDY
Ø Heavy vehicles are not allowed to enter inside ring road
between 8 am to 8 pm.
Ø One way traffic rules are obligatory for Rescue Vehicles.
Ø CRV or TCRV or both would reach any place of
emergency within 5- 8 minutes within ring road. So best
18
way to seek for quick rescue is police.

22. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
§
“Mapping of Rescue Service providers and Routes Within the
Kathmandu Ring- Road” means, Preparing a special map with
the following features, needed for Rescue.
§
Rescue service providers ( hospitals, Police, firefighters,ambulance,
Petrol Pumps)
§
The project work has been completed within the specific timeframe.
§
The project has achieved its objective throughout the working time.
§
The project is found to be one of the most important work because
there is no any such informative map, even the sensitive
organization like fire brigade also works on the basis of guess
22
and driver’s skill.

23. RECOMMENDATION
q The concerned authority of the fire brigade should make its
operational map for the quick access for the fire casualties.
q
q This project has made an effort to show the one way traffic, but also
there are many technical shortcomings. This should be done by
the Traffic Police force in precise and effective way.
q
q The policy makers should think of blackspots and take necessary
steps to find the causes of the accidents and necessary stops.
q
q The map can be more useful and dynamic as:
The map is only limited with accidents and traffic system we
can include the rescue features for other hazards such as landslide,
23erosions etc.
