TO STUDY MIX TRAFFIC FLOW CHARACTERISTICS ON MORARJI DESAI ROAD IN SEMI URBAN REGION OF BILIMORA CITY

Abstract

Urbanization is taking place with higher rate in last 3 decades due to development of more industry in the city area.
Due to development of industry, people is migrating from village to city area. People is moving with using various
transportation service from one place to other place which ultimately leads to traffic problem in city area. Study of vehicul ar
characteristics, its effect on quality of traffic operation is quite complex in mix traffic condition prevelling in Indian roads.
Particularly for artial roads, it is necessary to understand traffic stream flow characteristic of different vehicles moving in
different lanes has become necessary for proper assesment of quality of service available to road user in semi urban region.
Composition of the traffic in terms of slow moving &fast moving has significant effect on mix stream speed. Bilimora is one
of the fastest growing city of Gujarat, exprierencing high growth of regular traffic. In the presence study, The efforts are
made to carry out traffic survey at artial road of bilimora city and observation was collected for that area and after that
traffic flow analysis was done, Which will be useful for any civil engineer for understanding the traffic flow behaviour in
future for that area.
