Increasing population increases the vehicle use. So, now traffic congestion has become a major issue now a day. Traffic congestion is the Consequence of the gap between transportation sector demand and supply. It can be uttered that traffic jam is killing our time only, it will be wrong. Traffic congestion can be accountable for affecting our health. Traffic congestion is acting as hurdle to Evolution of any country as it impacts and generate a huge amount of economic cost and so on. Due to traffic congestion, companies that are consultancies related with the transport system engineering are not achieving their targeted profit. We as a team perceive there is a vital demand of proper traffic management facilities on M.G Road, Agra, Uttar Pradesh. In order to carry out the consequences which are responsible for traffic congestion, we need to study the Traffic Data and its Characteristics so that we can upgrade the traffic facilities. We analyzed data from different sections and by conducting different field Surveys. Subsequently we accomplished what is the contrast of PCU (Passenger Car Unit) with a certain time and then we correlate all these data with the design capacity of the Road. In addition to this we have carried out that how much the lane or road capacity is affected due to the improper traffic practices. Mentioned studies Indicate useful information concerning the entire traffic management system including the Aim which helps to reach Sustainability. It also provides useful information to the traffic researchers and policy makers for designing, planning, and evaluating traffic management system.
Keywords— PCU (Passenger Car Unit), Design capacity, Congestion, Delay INTRODUCTION With the boosting up of industrialization in the entire world results in much elevated growth rates of built-up economy, remuneration as well as the way of life of the occupants in consideration with the high growth rate of resident, there is exponential growth in the exclusive vehicle ownership. Our researcher claimed that population growth and increasing Way of life results in major consequences for the growth in count of vehicles irrespective cities. In context to the reasonable amount of small city cars. In this modern growing world, most people favor to travel by individual cars over public transportation system. Recent developments such as multi-tiered transportation systems provide sufficient space so that traffic congestion will not occur. Several Research designates that the mean volume of traffic related to congestion due to practicing improper traffic flow and pattern which includes irrelevant parking of vehicles during peak time can reach 30%–50% of total traffic. Hence, it is necessary to carry out the demand assessment for traffic flow in effected regions of the area to implement appropriate traffic management policies. Ample research and studies have been carried out on different Situation and various framework of different cities in the world comprising varied Traffic Engineering parameters and characteristics. Most of the studies concerns and proceed towards traffic management models over the past years. The common things that have been Integrated in the most studies are the distance to be travelled and journey time. In this paper, a review of various studies of past few decades regarding the traffic Characteristics and analyzing of traffic demand with developed models have been presented. Every individual who owns a vehicle will contribute in traffic. As the number of vehicles grow, the traffic Characteristics needs to be updated. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, there is exponential growth in motor vehicle count of nearly 300% from 550 lakhs in 2001 to 2100 lakhs in 2015 in India. The growth rate of motor vehicles is even higher for Metropolitan cities like Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata etc.
