Introduction
• Networks
• Corridors
• Intersections
Intersection
• Megenagna Roundabout
• Tobbaco Intersection
• Kera Intersection
Tobacco Intersection
Overview
• Tobacco intersection located on Mexico to German
Corridor namely xxxxx street.
• Tobacco Intersection is four-leg signalized intersection
which install the signal in recent time.
• African Union is around few meters away from the
intersection while travelling from tobacco intersection
• There is unbalanced traffic volume b/n the major road
and minor roads in the intersection.

Project Objective
• Improving Traffic flow and Operational Performance.

• Improving Intersection Geometry.

• Improving the pedestrian Safety

• Implement vehicle actuated signal

Geometrical Improvement
• Improve Right Turn radius
• Introducing the median on
the manor roads
• Widening the median
Modelling
Situational Assessment – modeling the existing traffic condition
• Network Model
• Vehicle model
• Pedestrian model
Logic and Concept development
• Introducing of traffic control on the intersection
• Introduce vehicle actuated signal
• Control pedestrian movement

Modelling Result

• Improved the network average delay(control delay) by 27%

• Give the flexibility for traffic control
• four to three leg: approach optimization
