Traffic Volume Study

The document summarizes a traffic volume study conducted on Mahatma Gandhi Mard Road. The study involved counting the number and types of vehicles passing through the road over a period of 6 hours. Key findings were that 26% of total vehicles were buses, 5% were non-motorized, and 39% were private cars. Recommendations included increasing public transport, providing a dedicated lane for non-motorized vehicles, introducing tolls/parking restrictions for private cars, and adding bus lay-bys.

VOLUME STUDY

 Traffic volume is defined s the number of vehicles crossing


a section of road per unit time at any selected period.
Traffic volume studies are conducted to collect data on
the number of vehicles and/or pedestrians that pass a
point on a highway facility during a specified time period
 This time period varies from as little as 15 mins to as
much as a year, depending on the anticipated use of the
data
Objectives of the study

 To determine the vehicle composition in traffic stream.

 To determine the service flow rate in PCU/PCE unit.

 To estimate ADT based on expansion


Scope of the Study

 Effectiveness of a traffic control measure

 To check existing, operating service condition of a roadway section

 Planning traffic operation and control of existing facility

 To design intersection, signal timings, channelization

 Structural design of pavements, geometric design and road way

Recommendations

Only 26% of total vehicles were Buses.


Public transport should be increased and improved
5% of total vehicles were Non-motorized vehicles.
A dedicated lane should be provided to facilitate non-
motorized vehicle
39% of total vehicles were private cars. To reduce the number of
private cars two steps can be taken-
1. introducing tolls/HOT/congestion pricing along some specific
urban roadways.
2. introducing parking permits and restricting parking space.
In order to pick up and drop off passengers, bus-lay-by
should be provided.
