Abstract - Capacity evaluation of the Road (A case study on
choose the manual survey method and surveyed the road for one week and find the total volume of the traffic in the 7 days of week with peak and non- peak hour. t is usual to use volume and flow rate to measure the number of vehicles passing a point over a given point or section of a lane during a given time interval. Volume is the number of vehicles that pass a point for the duration of one hour. On the other hand, flow rate denotes the number of vehicles that pass a point through a time interval of less than 1 h n many industrialized nations today. Highways present engineers and governments with formidable challenges relating to safety, sustainability, environmental impacts, congestion mitigation, and deteriorating infrastructure.
capacity evaluation of the Shirol bypass Road Kolhapur SH166 lane dual carriage way) which is start from KPT and end at Nandani chowk Kolhapur the capacity of any location is define based on transverse of the vehicles at that point which is select for the research. The capacity of a road is impact by the number of lanes, width of lane, width gradient, the total population of that area and depend on the type of area that means if it is industrial area then automatically the capacity is more because of commercial vehicles as well as personal vehicles. With the help of Passenger Car Unit (PCU) the capacity is expressed. In India due to heterogeneous traffic and the movement of vehicles is not in discipline lane it is not easy to study and analysis the traffic.
As a result, highways are often viewed from the perspective of the many challenges they present as opposed to the benefits they provide. Historically, highways have always played a key role in the development and sustainability of human civilization. Today, in the India and throughout the world, highways continue to dominate the transportation system, by providing critical access for the acquisition of natural resources, industrial production, retail marketing, and population mobility. The influence of highway transportation on the economic, social, and political fabric of nations is far- reaching and, as a consequence, highways have been studied for decades as a cultural, political, and economic phenomenon. While industrial needs and economies forces have early played an important part in shaping highway networks, societies' fundamental desire for access to activities and affordable land has generated significant highway demand, which has helped define and shape highway networks. Given the above, the focus of highway engineering has gone from one of network expansion to one that addresses issues relating to infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation, improvements in operational efficiency, various trafficcongestion relief measures, energy conservation, improved safety, and This shift has forced a new emphasis in highway capacity and traffic analysis.
Key Words: Traffic capacity, speed, traffic flow
1. INTRODUCTION 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 analysis also helps to reduce the accident level. Traffic flow concepts to also describe in the mathematically way the interaction between vehicles and driver The concept of traffic flow is a relationship between vehicles, drivers and type of infrastructure like highways, expressways, signals and devices which is install to control the traffic flow. The main purpose of understanding the traffic network is to help to reduce the traffic congestion. Due to increasing of population and transportation day by day the traffic +volume is increase to reduce this traffic we need to use some new technology which are discuss in this research Use the enter key to start a new paragraph. The appropriate spacing and indent are automatically applied Traffic flow principle always represents in mathematically. It is always described the interaction between vehicle and the driver. So in my thesis “traffic analysis and highway capacity of sh-166 I will analysis the traffic and highway capacity In this I basically I am studying about traffic at Shriol bypass road and design a new type of carriageway that will to flow the traffic smoothly and as well as safely. I will suggest some important requirement which is very important to reduce the travel time and provide smooth and safe movement for traffic flow and for evaluating the capacity of the road I
