Abstract: In this paper, we apply a system of linear equation to determine the number of vehicles that should be allowed to route
a four – one - way streets in Benz circle, Vijayawada, in order to-traffic flowing. The system of equations applied in the model
were solved analytically using the method of Gauss Jordan elimination method.
Keywords: Mathematical model, Traffic congestion, Traffic flow, Traffic volume.

I. INTRODUCTION
In mathematics and civil engineering, traffic flow is the study of interaction between vehicles, drivers and infrastructure with the
aim of understanding and developing an optimal road network with efficient moment of traffic minimal traffic congestion problems.
Mathematical theory of traffic flow and traffic equilibrium analysis was first introduced by Frank Knite in 1920’s and was refined in
to wardrops first and second principles of equilibrium. A network consists of branches and nodes.
For examples in the street networks where the branches are the streets and the nodes are the interaction. In this network problem can
be solved by system of linear equation.
The following diagram shows part of the central section OF. The streets are one way, and that the average number of vehicles
entering and leaving. This section during the 10 min breaks between classes is given the chart.

Find the amount of the traffic between each of four intersection.

Consider the number of vehicles entering each intersection is equal to the number of vehicles leaving the intersection, this fact can
be shown by an equation.
x4 + 120 = x1+250
x3 + 115 = x4+175
x2+630 = x3+390
x1+70 = x2+120

Rewrite the system of linear equations


-x1+0x2+0x3+x4 = 130 → (1)
0x1+0x2+1x3-0x4= 60 → (2)
0x1+x2 -x3 +0x4 = -240 → (3)
x1 -x2 +0x3 +0x4 =50 →(4)
The augment matrix of the system is
−1 0 0 1 130
0 0 1 −1 60
A=
0 1 −1 0 −240
1 −1 0 0 50
The rows reduced to enhance from this matrix is
1 0 0 −1 130
0 1 0 −1 −180
᷉
0 0 1 −1 60
0 0 0 0 0
Rewrite this as a linear system
x1 = x4+130
x2 = x4 - 180
x3 = x4+ 60
Since there is a free variable, this problem has many possible solution but x4 >180.
As an example x4 = 400 the solution of the system will be
x 1 = 530
x2 = 220
x3 = 460

II. CONCLUSION
We have estimated the traffic congestion at the four way street linking Polyclinic road, Nirmala convent road, Bundar road and
Bundar road interchanging Polyclinic road can be minimised. If any road work on Bundar road interchange to Nirmala convent road
should allow for traffic volume of atleast 60 vehicles per hour. Therefore, to maintain the traffic flow 460 vehicles per hour must be
routed between Bundar road and Nirmala convent road, 270 vehicles per hour between Eenadu and Polyclinic road and 220 vehicles
per between the interaction of Eenadu and Bundar road.
