IDENTIFICATION OF COUNTERACTIVE SCHEME TO ALLEVIATE TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION AT AN INTERSECTION

Praba M, Samuel Simron Rajkumar J, Vanitha S,

Abstract :

The purpose is to identify the cause of traffic at an intersection and to identify a remedial measure to reduce the congestion. The proposal of a flyover at Y–intersection will elicit the difference at the locality. Bringing up few standpoints the study area was selected for vehicular traffic survey at intersection. The analysis is done to identify the traffic in PCUs/hour and the traffic is projected for three conditions like pessimistic, optimistic& most likely. A nominal design procedure is followed for the flyover in order to reduce the conflict points, to reduce the congestion & delay. It was identified that about 50–70% of the total traffic volume can be diverted to the flyover resulting in less travel time. The weaving behavior would result to fewer delays in entering the flyover but its effect is minimal as compared to the delay incurred at ground level.
