traffic volume study data analysis
TRANSCRIPT
DATA ANALYSIS:
Our achieved data can be analyzed from different point of view and purpose. Like previously
mentioned-Planning, Modeling, Designing. For these application several parameters are need
to be determined from this type of study. Like
ADT,AADT,VECHILE COMPOSITION,FLOW RATE,FLOW VARIATION
VECHILE COMPOSITION :PROPRTION OF AVAILABLE TYPE OF VECHILE. Helps to count total pcu
and geometric designing .
From our data (APPENDIX 1) a pi-chart of vehicle composition is shown below.
Fig:1.1a:vechile composition 1
Bus (B) 0%
Truck (T) 0%
Light Vehicle (LV) 49%
Auto Rickshaw (AR) 11%
Small Public-transport (SP) 10%
Motor Cycle (MC) 10%
NMV 20%
0%
VECHILE COMPOSITION(%)
Group 5: Rassel square to panthopath
GROUP 4: PANTHOPATH TO RASSEL SQUARE
Fig:1.1b:vechile composition 2
So,we can say light vehicle is predominate here.
Directional Distribution:
Distribution of traffic vechile is varied according with their demand.It varies with time also
A classified comparision is shown below
IN first figure actual number is shown
In next one they are converted to pcu

Also a comparison of total pcu is needed.Below pcu in both direction along with composition

Directional distribution(pcu)
AS stated earlier this distribution is a demand function, which is a time function. Directional distribution along with
time is shown below

Another important parameter for design, forecast and modeling is ADT and AADT

ADT : The equivalent hourly traffic flow measured in less than one hour
AADT: Total yearly volume divided by number of days
This two parameter are shown below

Flow fluctuation:
Travel demand varies with time,season ,weather .Urban and rural fluctuation has definite
pattern.
For our work fluctuation curve is like below
Fig 1.3a:flow fluctuation
In urban area two peaks should be there.But as we take a very short count it is not occurring here
