STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC OF ROTARY INTERSECTION

In this today's world, every person is willing to have their own vehicle. Their willingness led to the gradual growth in the number of vehicles. As per the considerations for the movement of the vehicles, lots of roadways have been constructed with several reinforcement parameters. The place where two or more road network meets, there is a construction of different types of intersections, rotaries/roundabouts. Rotary junction has efficiency to manage the various traffic congestion. Evaluation of rotary junc tion capacity is very important. As the evaluation of rotary junction is directly related with several traffic and motorist's parameters such as level of service, travel time, delays, accidents, operation costs, environmental factors, etc. So, there shou ld be proper attention for the evaluation and improvements in the rotary junctions. As at the rotary junction, lots of traffic are diverted to different routes as per the travel of motorists. There should be decrease in the congestion, accidents, etc. So, there must be improvement parameters to be followed for the improvement of rotary junctions. Improvement of rotary junction justification have been considering by evaluation of the rotary junction of Dogra Chowk, Jammu. Traffic volume study is the major study for the evaluation of the traffic condition of the rotary junction. To analyse the traffic volume, traffic survey has been considering in the peak hours on the rotary junction.
