Development of Traffic Sign Assets Management System in Indian Context
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Traffic situation at uncontrolled intersections is complex, especially in highly heterogeneous traffic conditions, as in India. Available gap is used by vehicles to clear the intersection as no control measures exist at uncontrolled intersections. Thus a thorough understanding of gap acceptance behaviour of drivers is the key in evaluating performance and safety of unsignalised intersections. Moreover, the traffic volume on each leg of the road also has an effect on the gap acceptance. For the intersection where traffic volume is low, studies have shown that adopting gap acceptance method may not have a direct influence, but where the traffic is expected to grow rapidly, it is very important to assess the effect of traffic volume on gap acceptance. This study studies the influence of traffic volume on gap acceptance behaviour at uncontrolled intersections. These intersections are priority intersections that join a major road and a minor road. Video graphic technique was used to collect the traffic volume data for a period of six hours at both the intersections and geometry of the intersections was also collected. The accepted and rejected gaps by different classes of vehicles in the major and minor traffic streams were retrieved from the video graphs and the volume of the each approaches of the intersections are obtained.
