Analysis of Traffic Data at Uncontrolled Junction and Recommending Suitable Remedies for the Junction—A Case Study at Veera Savarkar Flyover Junction—Yelahanka New Town, Bengaluru

Abstract

A study was conducted to assess the traffic situation at a specific road junction in order to determine the safety of vehicle movements and the urgent requirement for a control device to monitor and manage the traffic flow at that location. The main objective of this study was to identify deficiencies in previous research and propose a solution to the challenges faced at uncontrolled junctions with mixed traffic flows in densely populated Indian cities like Bengaluru. To gather data, various traffic flow conditions were considered, including conducting a road inventory survey, measuring traffic volume, and analyzing spot speeds for each direction at the selected junction. By analyzing the results of the traffic data, an appropriate remedial action was determined to address the existing traffic conditions and road condition. Consequently, measures such as implementing signals, markings, and signs were suggested to enhance traffic safety and regulate maneuvers at the junction. The analysis of traffic safety involved collecting and evaluating traffic data using well-established techniques.
