3. STUDY LOCATION
Abstract - This study analysis traffic flow patterns between Maddilapalem and Pothinamallayapalem, a vital urban corridor experiencing increasing vehicular congestion. Data was collected through vehicle counts, speed monitoring, and GPS-based surveys during peak and off-peak hours. The primary focus was to identify traffic volume, peak hours, and factors contributing to delays After analyzing the traffic flow and the capacity of NH-16 from maddilapalem to Pothinamallayapalem some of the important improvements are required which will suggested in my research which will help to control the traffic volume and the capacity of NH-16. In this I will also estimate the fuel cost which are waste due to traffic signals.
Total area of Visakhapatnam district is 530013 and the coordinates of Visakhapatnam maddilapalem is 17.7386 ° N, 83.3166 17. ° pm palem 17.7856° N 83.3451° E total area of Visakhapatnam district is 11161 Sk The study location chosen for the present study satisfy the following criteria:
Traffic flow
Delay
Fuel consumption
Key Words: traffic volume, PCU, (passenger car unit) Average daily traffic, delay, fuel consumption
1. INTRODUCTION The findings will help in estimating the Level of Service (LOS) and identifying potential bottlenecks or congestion points. Based on the analysis, recommendations can be made for improving traffic management, optimizing signal timing, and proposing future infrastructural upgrades. The study plays a vital role in enhancing road safety, reducing travel time, and improving the overall efficiency of the transportation system in the region. Traffic flow studies are accompanied to determine the number, movement and type of vehicles at a given location. Traffic flow analysis helps to improve the capacity of flow. Traffic flow concepts to also describe in the mathematically way the vehicles between and driver.

4. METHODOLOGY 4.1 VOLUME COUNT Traffic volume are conducted to determine the number of vehicles and there movement according to class of vehicles at a selected locations. Two methods are used for conduction traffic volume count.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
A . MANUAL DATA COLLECTION Manual counts are used when automated equipment is not available. Interval used for manual counting is 15, 30 & 60 minutes. This method is rarely use.
L B Zala et al. (2014) in this the author calculated the different type of traffic parameters of a selected area on the concept of previous parameters of that area which the author selects. Author conducted different type of analysis like traffic volume, speed etc. also find the capacity of the road.
