To find out the condition of traffic and transportation at CBD area different type of survey have been done like traffic volume survey, physical feature survey, delay time survey, parking survey. Collected data analyzed by using MS Excel software and design or pictorial data analyzed by using GIS software, Google Sketch-up software.
