Studying of Traffic signal design and Calculation of cycle interval after Traffic surveying of a Rotary

Abstract

Highways and the roads are like the veins of nation connecting all the parts of the country efficiently to each other for transportation and forming a well connected network. Designing of the highways and other related parts of the system plays a very pivotal role for swift movement of traffic. Proper traffic surveys are to be conducted before designing any part of the highway or traffic signals for swift movement of traffic on that route. In this project I perform traffic surveys at a rotary measuring different parameters determining the peak hour of traffic of the rotary and other traffic volume surveys determining the traffic flow at the rotary. The data is then further used in designing of a traffic signal design on the rotary considering different phases at a time and for efficient movement of traffic at that rotary. The project encompasses the different parameters significant to be studied before designing a traffic signal. In this project I also cover the different steps that might be taken for efficient movement of traffic across that rotary.
