Abstract:
The Level of Service is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, and their perception by drivers or passengers. The present research primarily aims at analyzing and comparing the level of services for national highways of a new metropolitan city Nagpur by using Highway Capacity Software (HCS-2000) and Highway Capacity Manual (HCM-2000). The research presented here mainly aims at assessment of the level of service at national highway midblock sections. The field survey is carried out to capture the traffic volume as well as the corresponding average spot speed of traffic through manual as well as videography technique. The level of service F is not going to observe anywhere since the analysis is carried out at the mid-block sections rather than at the intersections. The result obtained by HCS-2000 method were compared to the result obtained by HCM method.
