Traffic Analysis on Intersection Using PTV Vissim

Abstract

As India is in its developing stage and the traffic on the other side in India is very heterogeneous or mixed in its nature and the average growth rate of vehicles in India is about 8%. With the increase rate of urbanization in India it will lead to the considerable traffic and travel growth on the roads which will result in vehicular delays, long queues and traffic congestion. So, in this paper with the help of traffic simulation software, i.e. VISSIM, three simulation of an unsignalized intersection {Dadour and Una-Jahu, Nerchowk Rd. (NH-21),H.P} will be analyzed and will compare them on the basis of vehicular delays and long queues. These three simulation will be analyzed on the basis of real world traffic data which is less from the expectations due to the pandemic covid-19, theoretical traffic data (increase in real data by 30%) and theoretical traffic data {with traffic signals as theoretical data follows warrant 1 (Min. Vehicular Volume) shown in IRC:93:1985}. Result showed that with increase in vehicular data there was not so much variation in vehicular delays, whereas there was an increase in long queues or queue stops and whilst third simulation (with traffic lights) is done it shows that it overcomes the queue stops of the intersection.
