Abstract:

Traffic congestion in urban areas has become a severe problem now-a-days due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. The traffic congestion in India is more severe problem as compare to other countries because of rapid urbanization and rapid growth in population. As the traffic congestion problems increases day by day in urban areas it leads to various problems such as increase in delay, increase in travel time and long queue formation hence the purpose of the study is to coordinate closely spaced intersections to demote travel time, queue length and delay. The signals are coordinated such that the vehicle travelling at p re allocated speed get continuous green time while travelling over a particular stretch. The signals are designed by Webster method. The optimized signal phases are coordinated by considering pre apportioned average speed of vehicles, time and distance required to reach each intersections, offsets and green splits of each intersections. A model of study area is simulated using PTV VISSIM. The results of uncoordinated and coordinated signals are analyzed considering basic aspects of traffic i.e. travel time and queue length.
