Abstract

Since the beginning of twenty-first century, most nations are involved with serious issues and challenges related to urbanisation. Urbanisation is the result of rising income, the majority of which is spent on meeting the demands of growing mobility. People travel on a regular basis for a variety of physical, psychological, and economic reasons, including employment, shopping, leisure, recreation, and so on. Increased population, a high proportion of urbanisation rate, and rapid growth of private vehicles, along with rising transportation needs, are a major source of concern. The aim is to find efficiencies in Jaipur metro transportation system by using a non-parametric procedure such as data envelopment analysis. The methodology was implemented utilising a weighted sum of outputs to weighted sum of inputs ratio. Various parameters like in-vehicle travel time, out-of-vehicle travel time, ingress and egress time were calculated during the study. The findings can be used by city planners, municipal governments, transportation authorities, and others to improve the effectiveness of the Jaipur Metro system. Only a small percentage of the data set was found to be efficient. Inefficient units can further analyse their flaws in order to improve their efficiency. Despite the fact that the investigation was thorough and comprehensive, future prospects must be considered. Various other parameters, such as land area, and city population, may differ from city to city, making efficiency measurement a dynamic process.
