Evaluation of Two Wheelers on Heterogeneous Traffic Using VISSIM Software: A Case Study of Ambedkar Intersection

Abstract

In present scenario due to Urbanization and Industrialization, there is rapid growth of vehicle which leads to
traffic congestion and accidents. Generally, heterogeneous traffic exist in developing countries where the percentage of
two wheelers are more as compare to other classes of vehicles which creates problem of delay and queue length for the
metropolitan cities because of its high maneuverability. In addition to that the growth of traffic with no proper lane
discipline and varying static characteristic even in the same class of vehicles causes effect of operational efficiency of
intersection. The problem related to T-legged intersections is not fully analyzed in a road network in developing
countries for two wheelers at all. VISSIM is traffic microscopic simulation software which has the huge scope of
application to solve various traffic engineering related problems. This article presents right and left traffic movement
analysis with the help of VISSIM software for the T-legged intersection with three phases design and analysis of the two
wheelers delay effect on other vehicles movement of the T-legged intersection.
