parameters of traffic volume count is a critical fundamental input required for arranging, examination and operation of roadway frameworks. Communicating activity volume as number of vehicles passing a given segment of street or activity path per unit time will be improper when a few sorts of vehicles with broadly shifting inactive and energetic characteristics are comprised within the activity. The issue of measuring volume of such heterogeneous activity has been tended to by changing over the diverse sorts of vehicles into proportionate traveler cars and communicating the volume in terms of PCU (Traveler Car Unit) per hour, spot speed ponders and immersion stream. The vehicles of profoundly heterogeneous activity with broadly shifting physical and operational characteristics such as the one winning on Indian streets, possess based on the accessibility of space, any helpful horizontal position on the street without any path teach. The interaction between moving vehicles beneath such heterogeneous activity condition is profoundly complex.
Various methods for analysis and evaluation are available in various literatures. Also, numbers guidelines, toolbox and research papers are available for reference which concentrate on unique intersection problems and its countermeasures.
Key Words: Keywords: Passenger Car Unit (PCU).
Literature review presents brief idea about most of sever problems and related countermeasures, which can collectively apply to reduce severity of various elements of intersection which can further be used for improving safety. All the technical papers are referred as an attempt has been made to highlight the problems and serious concerns related to road safety and advancements in intersection design in western countries and discuss several various options, remedies and countermeasures to tackle this issue with the fulfillment of this dissertation. The details of the methodologies of analysis, design & development of various parameters for heterogeneous conditions of traffic are presented in next chapter.
1. INTRODUCTION
3. METHODOLOGY
Most road accidents have the possibility to occur at road turnings or we can say at intersections. With the rapid growth on the road of the number of various types of vehicles, the amount of traffic accidents in the numbers is also rising sharply. Road safety is a major issue in developing countries due to its impact on the global economy and people's well-being. Due to population growth, traffic risks increase, especially in developing countries such as India, as infrastructure can no longer cope with the growing traffic. Traffic volume is defined as the number of vehicles passing through a given cross-section per unit time. It is measured in vehicles per minute, vehicles per hour and vehicles per day. In order to represent the traffic flow on the road per unit time, it is necessary to convert the traffic flow of different vehicle classes into a unified vehicle class, the socalled car unit.
