Traffic Volume Analysis & Solutions of Dharmaraj Chowk, Akurdi, Pune

Abstract

Abstract: Intersection is not only the node of urban road network, but also the key point affecting the operation of the traffic of the whole region. In order to improve the traffic operation efficiency of a signalized intersection, this paper takes Dharmaraj Chowk unsignalized intersection as centre of the project on the present situation, three methods were used to optimize the signal timing of the intersection, including only designing the signal timing of the current intersection, designing the change of the signal timing of the whole line and changing the proportion of different types of drivers. The simulation is carried out by Arduino software. The results show that the traffic operation efficiency can be improved conspicuously by changing the signal timing at the current intersection. By changing the signal timing of the whole trunk line, the traffic operation efficiency can be improved obviously. By reducing the proportion of conservative drivers and increasing the proportion of progressive drivers, the traffic operation efficiency can be improved.
