Traffic Congestion Modelling With Reference To Speed Profiles Under Mixed Traffic Conditions: A Case Study Of Surat Corridor

Significant growth in population, urban activities, travel demand and traffic flow has been observed in most of our metropolitan cities in recent time, leading to considerable travel time delays. And it is the important transportation parameter to indicate the efficiency of the movement of the people and freight. This paper precisely attempts to address the traffic congestion measurement employing travel speed profiles obtained from V-Box. Though number of traffic congestion measuring indices are available today the simplest and an effective way of presentation of congestion of enroute stretches is missing. The present study emphasize on this particular approach to make use of speed profile diagrams by conducting speed and delay survey studies on ‘Udhana- Sachin' one of the stretches of major corridor in Surat. The travel speed indices have been developed to describe the traffic congestion scenario on the road stretch.
