Abstract
The level of service on urban roads quality experienced by the drivers will be varying it is difficult to study the variations due to heterogeneous traffic flow conditions of Indian urban roads. As per TRB, 2010 macroscopic traffic flow parameters are found to be deficient in capturing the quality of service on urban roads experienced by users. Hence the objective of the study is to develop new methodology to evaluate the urban roads in heterogeneous traffic conditions considering the microscopic parameters of traffic flow in a four-lane divided urban corridor. The speed profile of the motorised two-wheelers both in free flow and peak flow were collected from the urban corridor of Bangalore Karnataka, India. Using GPS based mobile application. From the speed profile data, the speed variation characteristics were studied. The various speed indices considered in the study are VN (Velocity noise), CV (Co-efficient of variation), AN (Acceleration noise), and MVG (Mean Velocity Gradient). The CV is considered as the measure of effectiveness, higher the CV more will be the variation of quality experienced by the road users.
Highlights
The fast advancement of urbanizing and the upturn of megacities including crowded lots of occupant matters formidable threat to the developing countries with heterogeneous traffic conditions like India, preservation along the universal trends monetary expansion have escort India looking towards incredible urbanization over the past centenary
The speed profile data collected in the study corridors were investigated for both free flow and peak flow conditions in each segment
The mean speed is calculated both peak flow and free flow for corridor and was plotted with their respective distance to obtain their quality of service on the facility
Summary
The fast advancement of urbanizing and the upturn of megacities including crowded lots of occupant matters formidable threat to the developing countries with heterogeneous traffic conditions like India, preservation along the universal trends monetary expansion have escort India looking towards incredible urbanization over the past centenary. Indian urban areas currently that covers a broad range of megacities, downtowns, metropolis of not all that likely in provision of connection between main cities and intercity transportation. Transportation in this situation has been a casualty of disregard, disrespect, and distraction everything at these by one time. 230 million registered vehicles were plying on the Indian roads (The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India) the annual rate of growth of motor vehicle 9.9% between the 2006 and 2016 decade. Bengaluru had 55.59 lakh vehicles as on March 31, 2015, as against the 88.27 lakh vehicles in New Delhi. Primary complication is not about the total count of automobiles in the country the large quantity over some elected metropolises, especially in urban metropolises (million-plus) this is frightening to notice that 32% of these numbers of automobiles were playing alone in the urban cities that establish around 11% of the total population as per the MORTH 2003
