Introduction To Faisalabad
Introduction to Faisalabad:
It is a metropolitan city of Pakistan, the 2nd
largest city of the Punjab, the 3rd largest and
popular city in the Pakistan, with an
estimated population of 3.7 million in 2023
with the growth rate of 2.37%.
It is situated in the northeast of the country
lying between the plain of the Ravi and
Chenab River.
Faisalabad is one of the Pakistan wealthiest
and most industrialized city.

Introduction
Geographic Location of Faisalabad:
Location:
Faisalabad is situated in the
central region of Pakistan,
approximately 180 kilometers
from the capital city of
Islamabad.
Terrain:
The city is located on a flat,
alluvial plain, making it an ideal
location for agriculture and
industrial development.
Climate:
The city experiences a
semi-arid climate, with hot
summers and mild winters. The
temperature can reach up to 45°
C during the summer months.

Introduction
Transportation & Infrastructure:
Road Network:
• Faisalabad is well-connected to other major
cities in Pakistan through an extensive
network of highways and motorways.

Rail System
• The city is served by a robust rail network,
with several trains connecting Faisalabad to
various destinations within the country.

Airport
• The Faisalabad International Airport
provides both domestic and international air
travel options, facilitating the city's
economic and tourism activities.

Introduction
Circular Road:
❖ Circular Road is one of the busiest road
of Faisalabad due to its commercial Circular Road
significance.
❖ It is the center of all the commercial
activities in Faisalabad as all the main
markets are connected with it.
❖ The road is a hot spot for both the Figure-6 Google Map of Circular Road
shoppers and the shopkeepers, thousands
of people from Faisalabad and its
periphery move to Circular Road daily.
❖ The road is always busy with heavy
traffic and people from early morning to
late at night because most of the shops
are providing their services in these
timings.

Problem Statement
We find a problem for traffic volume and erratic driver behavior on
the selected road network, need to analyze the root causes behind
these phenomena using calibration and micro-simulation and
develop effective strategies to mitigate congestion, enhance safety,
and improve overall traffic flow.
