The ownership of motorised two wheelers (MTWs) has been on the rise across various countries globe. growth especially higher in developing which have typical traffic characteristics and populations. This steady resulted increased accident fatalities. abrupt increase warranted attention from researchers to carry out specific studies for MTWs, a very different behaviour as compared cars terms physical dynamic parameters. Moreover, unique patterns usually found pose an additional challenge...

The application of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method for the prioritization pavement maintenance sections is widespread now-a-days. Although evaluation section through AHP simple, where relative importance (on Saaty's scale) assigned to each parameter in hierarchy varies between experts (transportation professionals) consulted, which leads discrepancies final rankings sections', due subjectivity process. Further, base their decisions solely on experience while consideration not given...

Road traffic safety is emerging as an area of increased attention and concern in many countries including India. Safety evaluation by conflict study using surrogate measures a proactive method which does not require any accident data. Conflict may be carried out post encroachment time (PET) measure, where critical conflicts are determined based on certain threshold value PET. Identifying PET good correct for highways major roads follows posted speed, but with mixed varied speeds this...

Walking is a key element of balanced transportation system that has often been ignored when planning any facility. Pedestrians select appropriate gaps in vehicular stream depending on their demographic, vehicle and pedestrian behavioural characteristics roadway geometry. If, pedestrians are crossing typical urban two lane undivided road, then they may search more near traffic instead far gaps. Whereas, need to each with respect direction travel (curb or median) while number lanes (six...

A clear understanding of pedestrian crossing behavior under mixed traffic conditions is needed for providing necessary infrastructure and also enhancing safety at signalized intersections. This paper attempts to analyze the pedestrians like speed, compliance with signal, pedestrian-vehicular interaction identify influencing factors based on statistical tests. 775 samples were observed from three intersections in Mumbai, India analyzing behaviors significant affecting signal by identified...

 Abstract—Traffic safety is an important area in transportation engineering. Presently, most traffic assessment and prediction related work based on the use of historical accident data that has known drawbacks to quality coverage especially developing countries like India. For roadway solutions future, it impractical unethical wait for accidents occur before being able draw statistically sound conclusions regarding impact. Hence there a need develop proactive models Surrogate Safety...

Walking is one of the main and sustainable traffic mode in urban transportation, particularly India because flexibility mobility involved it. Pedestrians are facing problems during crossing at signalized intersection crosswalks under mixed condition. Of all faced by pedestrians crosswalks, pedestrian delay most important parameter it difficult to estimate. Keeping this as motivation, research has been undertaken with aim developing a model for crosswalks. The required parameters were...

Pedestrians usually cross the road at mid-block locations in India because of ease and convenience to reach their destination as compared intersection locations. It is important evaluate pedestrian gap acceptance behavior inadequate vehicular gaps under mixed traffic condition, which translates into crossing behavior. The present study examines behaviour by employing an artificial neural network (ANN) model for understanding decision making process pedestrians, i.e., or rejection a location....

Analyses of pedestrian-related issues have been gaining much attention from researchers in recent years, particularly studies pedestrian safety and level service (LOS) developing countries. The focus for evaluating LOS has shifted quantitative methods to qualitative factors be considered changing. Crosswalks (namely, signalized, unsignalized, midblock) are complex locations because the interaction pedestrians with vehicle flow. Pedestrian at crosswalks is quite different that on sidewalks. A...

The pedestrian crossing speed is one of the important factors in facility design. Research studies have shown that influenced by availability green time at signalized crosswalks and characteristics such as gender age. However, effects vehicular gap additional behavioural on patterns not been examined unprotected (un-signalized) mid-block crosswalks. present study examines change considering effect rolling behaviour, path change, etc., selected crosswalk locations under mixed traffic...

This study aims to develop safety performance functions (SPFs) and crash modification factors (CMFs) for the assessment of roundabouts as a whole their components, especially at entry, exit, circulating lanes. uses historical data collected over five years (2015–2019) from 21 (78 approaches) situated in some major cities India. SPF CMF models were developed using negative binomial cross-sectional approaches. Results show that percentage motorized two-wheelers, average daily traffic, central...

This paper is concerned with modification and validation of a recently developed microsimulation model heterogeneous traffic flow application the to study impact provision reserved bus lanes on urban roads. The introduction an exclusive lane measured in terms reduction speed other categories motor vehicles, due consequent road space, over wide range volume. main finding this that if provided under highly conditions (prevailing Indian cities), then maximum permissible volume capacity ratio...

Walking is one of the main transport mode and more sustainable to human society. Pedestrian interaction with motor vehicles found be major constraints pedestrians' during road crossing. Traffic accidents involving pedestrians are a safety problem throughout world. The objective this study investigate gap acceptance behaviour at mid block street crossings in urban arterial roads. In size vehicular gaps accepted by decision making processes mainly examined. For purpose suitable section was...

Trip planner is a smart travel assistance tool which provides pre-trip plan information to the commuter for given origin and destination stops. It built-up with such as road network vehicles' schedule from various transport agencies. The schedules are static deviates much in actual due delays caused by dwell time, traffic congestion accidents etc. Therefore, many real-time trip planners were developed produce more accurate plans terms of time transit vehicles use data Global Positioning...

The objectives of this study were to identify the factors affecting pedestrian level service (LOS) at signalized intersection crosswalks under mixed traffic conditions and propose a suitable method for estimating LOS. attempted develop LOS model in Mumbai, India, by using pedestrians’ perceptions various influencing factors. important considered turning traffic, through number pedestrians, delay. Pedestrian delay is one key performance indicators crosswalks; it necessary estimate delays...
