Evaluation And Reconfiguration of Heterogeneous Traffic at Rotary Intersection: Chiloda Circle

Abstract

With the advancement in transportation and urbanization, traffic congestion has become the main socioeconomic problem in urban as well as rural areas in developing countries. Careful balance between benefits of
agglomeration and dis-benefits of excessive congestion is required. It is necessary to design the intersection that present
as few impediments to efficient travel as possible and thereby making a number of countermeasures to be implemented to
lessen the adverse effects of intersection hazards. The study here deals with necessary reconfiguration required at
Chiloda circle which is the rotary intersection (Himmatnagar – Ahmedabad NH-8 and Gandhinagar Dahegam NH-147).
The work is focused on assessment of existing conditions and suitable recommendations followed by calculating capacity
of Rotary.
