Classified Traffic Volume Study with Use of Hand Count, Tape, Video
Recorder
Traffic volume studies are conducted to determine the number, movements, and
classifications of roadway vehicles at a given location. This data helps to identify critical
flow time periods, determining the influence of large vehicles or pedestrians on vehicular
traffic flow. The method available for traffic counts are listed below:
1. Manual methods.
2. Combination of manual and mechanical methods.
3. Automatic devices.
4. Moving observer method.
5. Photographic methods.
Classification vehicle count (CVC) is used in establishing structural and geometric
design criteria, computing expected highway user revenue, and computing capacity. If a
high percentage of heavy trucks exists or if the vehicle mix at the crash site is suspected as
contributing to the crash problem, then classification should be conducted.
Typically, cars, station wagons, pickup and panel trucks, and motorcycles are classified
as passenger cars. Other trucks and buses are classified as trucks. School buses and farm
equipment may be recorded separately. The observer records the classification of the
vehicles and the vehicles direction of travel at the intersection.
The survey was carried out on 26/09/23 at 09:30 AM at Vijay crossroad, Ahmedabad,
380009. The top view of the intersection is shown below. The survey is carried out using a
video camera. Data obtained from the survey is given below.

Spot Speeds Study with Radar Meter, Enoscope

The spot speeds measured at any particular location will depend upon a number of
factors such as the geometric layout of a road, the volume of traffic, the composition of
traffic, the condition of the road, environmental influences, the human element associated
with individual drivers and the characteristics of vehicles, as a result, the speeds measured
show a considerable amount if scatter. The mathematical analysis of the observe red data
makes it possible to understand the speed characteristics. Statistical tools, already
discussed earlier, become handy for this purpose. The present chapter is concerned with
the analysis of speed data by statistical methods and the results of speed studies.
Survey was carried out at (). Spot speed was measured using direct – timing
procedure. Data obtained from survey is given below.

Delay Study at Signalized Intersection

Delay studies in transportation and traffic engineering are conducted for various
reasons, and they play a crucial role in understanding and improving transportation
systems. Delay is defined as an extra time spent by drivers against their expectation. Delay
can have many forms depending on difference locations. A study was made to provide
information concerning the amount, cause, location, duration, and frequency of delay as
well as travel time and similar value. The time lost by traffic due to traffic friction and
traffic control device is called delay.
Purpose/use of travel time and delay studies:
 The purpose of a travel time and delay study is to evaluate the quality of traffic
movement along a rout and determine the locations, types, and extent of traffic
delays by using a moving test vehicle.
 This study method can be used to compare operational conditions before and after
roadway or intersection improvement have been made. It can also be used as a tool
to assist in prioritizing project by comparing the magnitude of the operational
deficiencies (such as delay and stops) for each project under consideration.
 The cost of a journey depends upon the speed at which it is made. In all highway
economic studies, journey speeds and delay are highly important.
 Delay studies at intersection provide data for the design and installation of the
appropriate traffic control device.

Overall, delay studies are instrumental in enhancing the efficiency, safety, and
sustainability of transportation systems. They provide data-driven insights that enable
informed decision-making and the development of effective strategies for managing and
improving traffic flow.
The survey was carried out on 26/09/23 at 09:30 AM at Vijay crossroad,
Ahmedabad, 380009. The top view of the intersection is shown below. The survey is
carried out using a video camera. Data obtained from the survey is given below.

CONCLUSION

 The survey was conducted for finding out delay at signalised intersection – Vijay
char rasta, Ahmedabad.

 The purpose of conducting Delay study - can be to evaluate the quality of traffic
movement along a route and determine the location, types, and extent of traffic
delays.

 The delay survey was started from the beginning of red phase. At the end of every
count interval that is of 15 seconds, the vehicles standing on the approach were
counted as per there category.

 After collecting data, we plotted graph of delay faced by single vehicle in a red

 Looking at the graph of all 4 directions, we can see that large variation in delay per
vehicle is observed over volume from LD route. The highest delay faced by a
vehicle is 95sec and lowest being 22sec in a red time.

 Also delay patterns (from graph) for volume from Commerce six road and from
Darpan are quite similar. Though red time for commerce six (108sec) is more than
all other directions (103sec).

 From the vehicle composition chart the road is occupied by maximum 2-wheeler
vehicle.

 As per analysis, we have concluded that the average delay for each vehicle is 59
seconds.

Parking Survey
Parking is one of the major problems that is created by the increasing road traffic.
It is an impact of transport development. The availability of less space in urban areas has
increased the demand for parking space especially in areas like the Central business
district. This affects the mode choice also. This has a great economic impact A parking
capacity survey assesses the current parking capacity and determines if there is anything
that can be changed to increase the number of parking spaces.
A parking capacity survey may include:

 Occupancy count: The number of vehicles parked at a given time.

 Vehicles entering: The number of vehicles that enter the parking lot during a
specific time interval.
 Vehicles leaving: The number of vehicles that leave the parking lot.
 Parking space size: The size of parking space needed to improve road traffic
conditions.

Accident Analysis

One of the main objectives of traffic engineering is to provide safe traffic

movements. Though road accidents cannot be totally prevented, the accident rate can be
decreased substantially by suitable traffic engineering and management measures.
Therefore, the traffic engineer must carry out systematic accident studies to investigate
the causes of accidents and to take preventive measures in terms of design and control.
The statistical analysis of accidents carried out periodically at critical locations or road
stretches or zones or a city will help to arrive at suitable measures to effectively decrease
the accident rates.
The various objectives of the accident studies may be listed as:
1. To study the causes of accidents and to suggest corrective treatment at potential
locations.
2. To evaluate existing design, regulation, and control measures.
3. To support proposed changes in design, regulation, and control measures in the
selected zone.
4. To carry out ‘before and after studies’ after implementing changes and to
demonstrate the improvement in the accident problem.
5. To make computations of financial loss due to road accidents.
6. To provide economic justification for the improvement measures suggested by the
traffic engineer.

CONCLUSION
After analysis it can be concluded that out of total, most accidents were found to be
major type followed by 32% of fatal accidents. Overall (78%) man are found to be
victim in most of the cases. Talking about age, people in the age group of 15-30
years are found to be victim 70% of the time and this could be because of rush
driving or over-speeding by youngsters and adults.
In overall analysis, most accidents have occurred due to car and in the month of
October and during nighttime that is 7 to 9PM.

The main cause is found to be over-speeding in all types of accidents. According to

the data, an average of 100 accidents occurs each month.
There are 3 categories which is considered for the analysis:
1. Fatal Accident: Majority of fatal accidents was carried out by 2-wheelers
followed by car and unidentified vehicles.
2. Major Accidents: Nearly Half of non-fatal accidents was carried out by Car
followed by 2-wheelers.
3. Minor Accidents: Majority of minor-injury accidents was carried out by Car
followed by 2-wheelers.

Pedestrian Flow Survey

Many road accidents involve pedestrians, so it is necessary to carry out pedestrian flow
study at specific locations.
Few measures to increase pedestrian safety are mentioned below –
1. Segregation of pedestrians and vehicles by the provision of raised footways
decreases the pedestrian accidents.
2. Where pedestrian traffic is very heavy at intersections, separate pedestrian phases
should be provided at signals.
3. Provision of railing barriers on busy roads to channelize the pedestrian flow in safe
direction.
4. Special attention should be paid to mark the crossings. Black and white stripes are
known to be particularly satisfactory. Proper signing will also help. Near schools,
warning signs of children would be needed.
5. Adequate street lighting and vehicle lighting measures ensure pedestrian safety.
Special attention needs to be paid for lighting pedestrian cross walks and junctions.
Increased visibility of the pedestrians themselves can prevent many accidents.
6. Road safety education, especially for children, propaganda and enforcement of
traffic rules and regulations deserve careful consideration.
7. Overbridges and subways for pedestrians should be thought of where the
pedestrian traffic is concentrated and heavy, especially near busy intersections and
generators of pedestrian traffic such as railways stations and bus stands.

Pedestrian flow analysis was carried out near Gujarat university unsignalised T-
intersection during morning hour between 9AM to 11AM on 03/11/23.

CONCLUSION
After analysis from pedestrian flow diagram, it can be concluded that, majority of the
student flow is found towards LD Eng. college and Gujarat University from BRTS transit
stop. The highest flow occurred between 10:15 and 11:00 a.m. due to academic schedules.
Male and female flow was determined to be average, with proportion of females slightly
higher the male. Because it was morning, most of students that is below age of 35 were
found.
Out of total, 11% were found to be distracted with smartphones while crossing the road
and females were found to be more distracted. Therefore, facing more conflicts than male.

Speed and Density Relationship:
With increase in speed of a stream of vehicles on a roadway, the average density per unit
length decreases. This is because the gap or spacing between the vehicles increases with
increase in speed.

Fig.
Speed and Flow Relationship:
The relationship between speed and volume flow of traffic for a hypothetical case is
represented as a parabolic curve. It may be seen that there is an optimum speed at which
the flow is maximum and at higher speeds flow starts decreasing.
From our obtained data we get following graphical representation:

Fig.
From above graph, we are getting results for free flow condition and no forced flow
condition is obtained.

Flow and density Relationship:

ME sem-1 TE (3711302) pg. 48

In a hypothetical case, when volume approaches zero at very high speeds, the density also
approaches zero. Thus, at the optimum values of speed and density, the flow is maximum
achieving capacity flow.
From our obtained data we get following graphical representation, in which with
increasing volume flow, density is also observed increasing.

The fundamental relationship between traffic speed, volume and density may be
represented by:

Saturation Flow Measurement at Signalized Intersection.

Considering the non-lane based mixed traffic operation in Indian context, the flow
profile method suggested by TRL (UK) is a suitable field method for measurement of
saturation flow. Its principle is that the number of vehicles passing the stop line during
green is counted at fixed short time intervals. The length of time interval can be chosen to
reflect local conditions: 5 seconds is generally recommended; 10 seconds may be used
where the green time and the queues are long. Vehicles are classified as per their type.
Before the surveys, the number of signal cycles to be measured must be determined.
Measurements should ideally be made at sites which are free from all obstructions. If any
obstruction occurs within a cycle, the observations for that cycle should be discarded. For
unobstructed traffic conditions, the saturation flow of each approach is simply the average
flow for all saturated intervals i.e. once the initial start-up period has been completed, and
while the flow is still being supplied from a queue. If the flow in the first 5-second interval
is higher than that in the other intervals when initial surge of vehicles is present due to
anticipated advance movement and presence of approach flare, saturation flow is worked
out as the average flow for all intervals including the initial interval. The classified traffic
data at the end of each interval during the green phase is noted in a tabular form and a
typical sample of the datasheet obtained from field measurement is given in table given
below. The flow (S in PCU/hour) derived from the observed traffic flow parameters is
worked out as given in Equation 00.1:
3600
S=ni × Pi ×

Where,
S = Flow in PCU per hour crossing the stop line
ni = Number of vehicles of type i crossing the stop line during the Count Interval

but including startup values (values in first count interval of green in each cycle) if
surge conditions were reported. Startup values are not included if there were no
surge conditions reported.

obstructions were reported.
Where,

intervals with no surge flow are subtracted.

 ASSIGNMENT – 9
DESIGN OF SIGNAL FOR ISOLATED INTERSECTION

Design of signal for Vijay char rasta intersection using Webster method. Signal is
four phase signal. Saturation flow and design flow are taken from previous assignments.
For designing, some assumption is taken which are given below:
 Amber time = 3 seconds
 Time loss due to starting delay = 1 seconds
 Minimum inter-green period (I) = 4 seconds
 Red / Amber period = 2 seconds
