Traffic Volume Study at S. M. Lohia College Road Kolhapur

Civil Engineering

Traffic bottleneck in cities is a major problem mainly in developing countries; to mitigate these problems many models of traffic system have been planned by many researchers. Different ways have been suggested to make the traffic system smarter, reliable. The advanced world requests adaptability. Vehicles address the principal strategy for versatility, yet the present blocked roadways and city-roads don't move quick, and here and there they don't move by any means. The India has 70% versatility out and about mode; consequently, the grim issues made in urban communities are the gridlock, wastage of significant time in created nations. For this need to take care of the serious issue of traffic, to accomplish the essential objective of decreasing the clog and improving the wellbeing of the street clients, fundamental point is to plan the best traffic framework that will be compliant and accessible. In this paper we have studied the existing road infrastructure at S. M. Lohia College Road Kolhapur and suggested few improvements which were intended to increase the efficiency of the zone. For that we did the Traffic volume studies to determine the number, movement, and classification of vehicles at the given location, which is done by the manual method. The vehicles are counted manually without using any device or sensor with respective vehicle categories like a passenger, commercial and agricultural etc. The recommendations was given based on the study data and the Indian Road congress guidelines by adopting maximum average Passenger count unit (PCU).
