Abstract
- In this research paper, we try to utilize a parallel network of in roads and divert some of the traffic from the major arterial road link to these links in order to compare the resulting delays and queue lengths with the originally normal traffic flow and find out if the peak hour travel times, delays and queue lengths can be reduced along the major road links by reassigning the traffic along the parallel routes. In this paper, we show that by diverting around 10 percent of traffic during peak hour, we can reduce the burden on the major road sections by a larger amount, and the parameters like vehicle travel times, delays and queue lengths see significant reduction along the major road links. For this, we use micro simulation software PTV VISSIM, and simulate the site conditions obtained through traffic volume survey, route choice survey etc. and compare the results of the simulation with and without redirection of traffic volume along the in roads. The section of road network considered is a part of AB Road, between LIG Square and Nawlakha Square with first traffic signal being at Palasiya Square and the last being GPO Square. The alternate in road sections run parallel to more than 3 quarters in length of this section, from Geeta Bhawan Square to GPO Square
