Abstract
This research is about joint government founded program between Japan and India or Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable development (SATREPS). The purpose of this research is to establish Low Carbon Transportation in developing countries and we choose one of major city in India, where it is Ahmedabad city of Gujarat state—west cost of India. In order to approach the target, we need to understand the current situation of traffic condition in the city. The current traffic condition in India is some chaotic because of their different driving behavior compared with the advanced countries. It is becoming the chaotic traffic condition in India by not only diving behavior during investigation of this research. The main reason of the traffic congestion comes from the unbalance between growing transportation demand and its insufficient infrastructure preparation. In this chapter, it introduces the current traffic condition based on four years monitoring of the traffic by the traffic monitoring cameras and comparison by the traffic flow theory at first. Then it introduces the new traffic analysis method especially for its traffic congestion analysis and its parameters. After the traffic congestion analysis, it summarizes conclusion and our next step from the experience.
Highlights
Transportation is important for human been activity as the economy grows
Design of Cities and Buildings - Sustainability and Resilience in the Built Environment counters, it becomes challenge to understand the real traffic condition from the data rather than in advanced counties. It is introduced traffic flow analysis method combined with traffic flow theory
After collecting traffic data and analysis, it digs into traffic flow problem and shows important traffic flow parameter for traffic congestion with using actual traffic measurement data in a major city in India
Summary
It always happens negative impact by growing transportation because of i-balance between transportation demand versus infrastructure development such as road construction, traffic control management system, public transportation implementation, and so on. Negative impact occurs as the following— traffic congestion, traffic accident, un-necessity fuel consumption, environment destruction, air prolusion, noise pollution, traffic fatality—as transportation issues in general. It is important to understand traffic flow condition and mechanism of traffic congestion reason at least. In order to understand traffic flow, it is necessary to measure the traffic condition by traffic monitoring system such as traffic video monitoring camera, other sensing technology for directly collection vehicle movement like smart phone, navigation system in vehicles, drone camera, 3D sensor camera, infrared camera, Bluetooth device in vehicle, and many other high-technology tool available. The point is how to collect accurate traffic data as real traffic flow and under developing
