    Average NTF Variation with Traffic


    buses are compared in the analysis. It gives a
    1.40 Volume
    clear indication that the composition of the
    motor bikes and three wheelers are low in the Below 1000
    roads with bus routes. The model shift of the 1.30 1000-2000

    Composition of the cars when the route buses
    are available is high so that it does not relate 1.10
    with the availability of route buses and it’s
    clearly seen that the motorbike and the three 1.00
    wheelers are used heavily in the absence of 24/12 24/16
    route buses as an alternative to fulfil their Factor type
    mobility needs. Figure 10: Variation of NTF with Traffic Volume
    Avalability of Route Buses vs
    Vehicle Composition When the traffic composition variation with
    respect to the traffic volumes is considered it’s
    80% clearly seen that composition of the four

    working day while the composition of the

    composition is steady around 20% despite the
    20% traffic volume variation.

    The traffic volumes of the considered roads are
    in a wide range from 42 vehicles to 4,754 20.0%
    vehicles per 24 hours having an average of 909 10.0%

    Average NTF Variation with Traffic The connectivity of a road also plays a major
    Volume role in the traffic behaviour of a road. Therefore,
