Paper Details

In signal co-ordination Time space diagram and Average speed of traffic stream will be considered.Average speed of traffic stream is obtained by spot speed study of mid block section. Spot speed study gives SpaceMean Speed (S.M.S.) and this S.M.S. is considered for signal co-ordination. In fact Actual Travel Time of vehicleincludes starting acceleration, interaction, deceleration and stopping to travel between two signalized intersections.Actual travel time is generally more than Travel Time obtained from S.M.S. hence, it is necessary to establishrelationship between S.M.S. and Actual Travel Time so that it gives more accurate and realistic estimation of traveltime. After obtaining actual travel time and travel time calculated from the observed S.M.S. by spot speed study therelationship between these two parameters will be obtained in this study. It involves spot speed study with an aim todevelop various relationships between Traffic flow parameters (Space mean speed and actual travel time) underexisting situations for study area. Study is limited to observed the travel time and space mean speed on the linksbetween 3 intersection (4 arm signalized intersection) in Indian traffic condition. This study will helpful for designingcoordinated signal on urban corridors. This relationship can be utilizing the same situation at other sites.
