OPTIMIZATION OF QUEUE CLEARANCE FOR DUDHESHWAR 3-LEG AND DAFNALA 4-LEG INTERSECTION

In a city like Ahmedabad, vehicles travel on road all day as compared to other districts of Gujarat. In Ahmedabad Traffic includes a different type of transportation mode on road like bikes, scooters, cars, trucks, auto-rickshaws, BRTS, AMTS, etc. So queue clearance is an important factor which helps to increase the flow of vehicles. Optimization of queue clearance can be achieved with help of proper channelization of traffic, road marking, and improvisation in traffic signals. It helps to reduce the delay of vehicles and proper management of the platoon. This can be achieved by analyzing the traffic parameters at an intersection under mixed traffic conditions with help of macroscopic traffic parameters and Microscopic traffic parameters. In this study first of all I will evaluate the present condition of intersection by conducting a pilot survey for getting the basic idea of the queue length and queue clearance time at Dudheshwar Y (3-leg) intersection and Dafnala crossroad (4-leg intersection). After that collected data and analysis of that data will help to formulate and solution of a new algorithm for queue management with help of Regression analysis of the collected data from different surveys and simulation by PTV VISSIM software.
