According to the Global Status Report on Road Safety by the World Health Organisation [WHO, 2013], India has the highest absolute number of recorded road deaths (105,725), followed by China (96,611), the US (42,642) and Russia (35,972). In comparison, the UK has 3,298 recorded road deaths In the context of road deaths proportional to a country's population, the Cook Islands comes out on top (45.0 road deaths per 100,000 people), followed by Libya (34.7), South Africa (33.2) and Iran (32.2). According to [43] and [PTV Group, 2004], reasons for road accidents are manifold and so are the approaches for improvement.

There are three main areas of action regarding measures for improvement of the road safety situation. These are human, vehicles and the road infrastructure. Researchers have explored factors contributing to accidents in both urban and regional landscapes. The prime human contributing factor to accident is speed [JOB. S, 2009] [FLEITER ET AL, 2010] [MORTON. R & WHITE, 2013] [RoSPA, 2013].

ϯϭ 

Other driver related accident factors include alcohol, social components and driver precipitating attributes [FLEITER ET AL, 2010] [MOSEDALE, 2004] while [OBST, P L ET AL., 2011] noted age and gender issues while tired. Age is also identified by [WHO, 2014] for the demographic class of drivers aged 15-29 years. Some of these components are mitigated with the introduction of fixed speed cameras, resting area provisions and training programs [HAQUE ET AL., 2009]. Car manufacturing standards were raised by [WHO, 2009] as a consideration into accidents. However, successful vehicular enhancements have already taken place with the introduction of passive and active safety restraints systems [LAUFER ET AL., 2013] [PTV Group, 2004].

This leaves the road infrastructure with significant potential for improvements. Elements relating to road infrastructure safety issues are extensively covered including alignment, gradient, surface, drainage [HAQUE ET AL., 2009] and the impact of variable speeds [ABDUL HANAN ET AL., 2011]. [JOB. S, 2009] identifies solutions such as wire caEOLQJRQPRWRUZD\PHGLDQVUHGXFHVDFFLGHQWUDWHVZLWKIHZHU³KHDGRQ´DQG³UXQRII URDG´FUDVKHV$QXPEHURIDXWKRUVDOVRRXWOLQHWKHEHQHILWVRI,QWHOOLJHQW6SHHG$GDSWLRQ to communicate with drivers and manage top end of speeds without affecting average speeds [CARSTEN, O, 2009] as well as Pay-As-You-Speed disincentives [AGERHOLM, N, 2009]. However, the application potential of smart approaches based on integrated computer assisted mapping, analysis, predictions of accidents and implications of infrastructure improvement with traffic planning is less explored. A number of authors have developed Accident Prediction Models (APM) to facilitate such safety impact assessment for future. These models operate in a similar manner to demand forecasting models ± each are different but often contain common variables. [EENINK, R and REURINGS, M, 2007] examined APM in the context of traffic volume, and segment lengths as well as turn pocket allocation. [SCHUELLER, H, 2011] examined 20,000 accidents to determine a speed behavior model that included speed ranges (free flow, mean and 85th percentile), components of land uses, intersection number and road sections, median demarcation, public transport and on street parking issues.

2.2.8. Summary In the review of literature, various researches done in the field of traffic planning have been studied. Traffic planning focuses upon the public provision and financing of transportation assets, particularly roads and public transit systems. There are different methods adopted in the traffic survey and traffic volume counts. The Four-Step Model provides an effective way for analyzing the traffic and helps in traffic planning process. Traffic forecasting have been considering an important measure to predict the future development in road used and hence taken an important factor for traffic planning. Parking analysis provides the optimization of parking problems because, parking is the major issue for traffic congestion. Traffic accident analysis provides the information about the effect of accident on road user and traffic conditions. Traffic accident should be considering at prior level because safety is the prime factor consider for traffic planning.

Average literacy rate in Madhubani district as per census 2011 is 71.06 % of which males and females are 78.81 % and 62.39 % literates respectively.

3.3. Roads of High Traffic Operation Though the Madhubani city is the key place for major marketing and employment of the district, there is always a huge traffic moving throughout the city. There are lots of road network on which the traffic condition is very serious, but there are certain roads with high traffic operations through-out the city. There are following certain major roads having high traffic operations: a. Thana Chowk Road b. Neelam Chowk Road c. Bata Chowk Road d. Churi Bazaar Road e. Mahila College Road f. Railway Station Road g. Ganga Sagar Chowk Road h. Bus Stand Road i. Bara Bazaar Road j. Chavaccha Mor

So, to understand the road networks of high traffic operation of the city, the following figures shows the pattern of road intersections.

3.4. Present Situation of Road & Traffic Traffic and transportation plays an important role in the overall functioning of the city. It is an integral part of urban planning and is responsible for the smooth functioning of the city. It is also responsible, besides other factors, for the spatial growth of the city by increasing the accessibility of sites on the periphery of the city.

A study of the transport infrastructure for Madhubani is crucial for the understanding and analyzing micro level (within the different zones of the city ± linkages between the different parts of city and the market).

Total length of the roads within the city area is to be measured, which constitute roads maintained by state PWD department and other roads maintained by MCM. Out of total length of the roads, MCM maintains approximately 70% roads, which are internal arterial roads & narrow streets in the old town area are as shown in Table 3.5. Table.3.5. Road Length

3.5. Issues Regarding Traffic in Madhubani Madhubani have mixed traffic conditions. The major traffic problem in the city is traffic congestion & traffic jam. This cause the traffic delay, fuel wastage, physiological & psychological impact to the motorists & passengers. There are following factors which can focus on the traffic related issues in the city: a. Unavailability of traffic signal b. Improper road marking c. Unavailability of bus stop ϰϲ 



d. Unavailability of parking facilities e. Improper traffic signs f. Single lane road g. Worst drainage system h. Improper planning of vehicle inspection in respect of driving license, helmet, shoes, etc. i. Unawareness of traffic rules j. Improper planning for enforcement of traffic police

3.6. Study Done in this Research In this research, study of traffic condition of Madhubani city have been done to enhance and provide a better traffic planning approach to improve the traffic problems of the city and reduce the traffic congestion, accidents, etc. For this purpose, the major traffic operated roads have been observed. These roads have been surveyed to understand the traffic volume, AADT, road use pattern and traffic flow characteristics of the city. The previous accident data have been obtained from the city police station to understand, analyze & predict the accident rate for the city in the present condition of traffic in future & in improved case of traffic in future. Spot speed study have been carried out to analyze the speed limits. The number of vehicle running on the roads of Madhubani have been obtained from the District Transport Office to analyze the vehicle growth in past decades and to forecast the vehicle growth in the future decade. This will be considered a major factor for planning the traffic system of the city. On the basics of results obtained, improvement methodologies and recommendations have been made.

3.7. Summary The case study of Madhubani city have been used just for observing, analyzing and formulation a good traffic planning system for a mid-sized city. As Madhubani is a midsized city having no any traffic planning system, it had huge growth in traffic in last

ϰϳ 

GHFDGH,WGRHVQ¶Wmatter whether the city is small or large, where there is extreme traffic growth, there must need a traffic planning approach to maintain the proper traffic system of city. Lots of deficiencies are found in small cities regarding traffic. So, to overcome on the deficiencies of traffic, lots of parameters have been considered to formulate a better traffic plan. Traffic survey is very useful for understanding the traffic conditions. Accident record also gives the traffic & road condition. DTO vehicle record helps us to analyze or forecast the traffic of the city. These all the parameters have been focused for making the traffic plan for a mid-sized city.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

4.1.

General

There are lots of parameter to be consider for making a traffic plan for a mid ± sized city. The set of actions to be followed for getting a result on traffic state have been practiced by some certain methods with mathematical analysis of the data obtained by different methods. As traffic planning will be used to implement by road administration will utilize the data as follow: ¾ Analyzing the problem. ¾ Defining the problem. ¾ Formulating the goals. ¾ Formulating the methodologies to meet the goals. ¾ Defining the benefits of the system. ¾ Economic evaluation of system. ¾ Level of utilization. ¾ Policies & measures.

4.2.

Data Collection Methods

There are several set of methods have been used to formulate a method to meet the objective of research. All the methods will be formulated to collect the necessary data and make a method to analyze the data to go through a useful result. The major methods used to make a traffic plan for a mid ± sized city are explained below. 4.2.1. Field Study/Survey Method The very first step of traffic planning is the field study. It means to analyze the current status of traffic in the city. So, field study can be carried out by survey method. Traffic survey gives us several parameters to carry out the research work such as traffic volume, traffic flow characteristics, traffic capacity, parking analysis, traffic flop or accident studies, etc. Two major survey useful to analyze the current traffic conditions are: a. Traffic Survey

ϱϬ 



The main purpose of traffic survey is to get the observations for traffic volume, traffic flow characteristics, traffic capacity, etc. Traffic volume is termed as the number of vehicles crossing a section of the road per unit time at any selected period of time. It is used as a quantity measure of flow. Traffic volume study may have classified the volume study by recording the volume of various types and class of vehicles. The daily traffic volume may vary in weeks as well in seasons. So, the true picture can be obtained by knowing the hourly traffic volume along with the pattern of hourly, daily and seasonal variations. For the classified traffic volume study, the traffic is classified under several categories such as buses, passenger cars, truck, bycycle, rickshaw, NMV-3 wheeler, tongas, bullock carts, pedestrians, etc. and the volume of each class should be noted separately. Generally, traffic stream flow and counter flow along a common route, unless the stream is separated into pair of one-way flows by proper design and regulation. Talking about the traffic capacity, it is the ability of a roadway to accommodate traffic volume. It is the maximum number of vehicle in a lane or on a road that can pass a given point in unit time. Traffic capacity and traffic volume are measures of traffic flow and have the same units. Volume represents an actual rate of flow and responds to variations in traffic demand, while capacity indicates a capability or maximum rate of flow with a certain level of service characteristics that can be carried by the roadway. Video photography mode and data sheet method had been adopted for traffic survey because in less manpower, it can be setup easily and survey can be easily done. Video photography mode includes a high quality digital camera, a tripod stands, adequate power supply at-least for half an hour. The camera has been set-up on the side of the road and video mode started. After recording the video for the desired time, the camera video transferred into the laptop. In laptop, video have been used to analyze the traffic data. The different class of the vehicles have been counted from the video and filled in the data sheet at the given time interval in the data sheet. Further, the filled data sheet has been used to analyze the data for the required result. The survey time have been taken from 9 am to 11 am as 1st session and 4 pm to 6 pm as 2nd session for continuous three days of the same sight fir the uniformity of data. The reason for selecting the specific survey time is as because at this time, there is very more traffic due to school time, office time, market

ϱϭ 

time, etc. As we have very much site, I had surveyed some selected site where traffic is at its peak level. The performa used to record the traffic survey data is given in Table. 4.1 and 4.2. Table.4.1. Data Sheet for Traffic Survey in 1st Session Time

b. Parking Survey Parking space demand by the automobile user is a major problem of highway transportation, especially in metropolitan city but now a day, parking demand is also at peak level in new growing cities i.e. mid-sized cities. Parking facilities should be given priority while planning a traffic system of a city and will be considers as a prime importance because it will help the city by making the traffic congestion free. Various aspects are investigated during parking study, such as:

ϱϯ 

a. Parking demand b. Parking characteristics c. Parking space inventory So, the traffic survey should be focused in such a way that in the busy market, there should be proper survey for parking facilities. If at any place, there is an existing parking facilities exists, there should be survey for the existing parking facility in order to improve the parking facilities and to make the city area free from congestion. The same method should be used for parking survey which have been used for traffic survey and the data sheet performa will also be same.

4.2.2. Spot Speed Method The spot speeds measurement is performed at any particular location will depend upon lots of factor such as traffic composition, road condition, geometric layout, traffic volume, environmental factors, human factors, vehicular characteristics, etc. By using this method in this research work, the current different speeds limit is analyzed and the improvement if needed will be formulated. By using percentile speeds, the different categories of speeds such as design speed, speed limit, lower speed limit, etc. are analyzed. Stopwatch spot speed study method have been adopted because of the small sample size taken over a relatively short period of time. The stopwatch method is quick and inexpensive method for collecting spot speed data. A stopwatch spot speed study includes five key steps: 1. Obtain appropriate study length. 2. Select proper location and layout. 3. Record observations on stopwatch spot speed study data form. 4. Calculate vehicle speeds. 5. Generate frequency distribution table and determine speed percentiles.

4.2.3. Accident Study Method Safe traffic movement is the main objective of traffic engineering. So, in order to plan a safe traffic system, traffic engineering will have to consider the systematic accident studies to investigate the cause of accidents and to take preventive measures in terms of design and control. The statistical analysis of accidents carried out periodically at critical locations or road stretches or zones will help to arrive at suitable measures to effectively decrease the rate of accidents. Accident study will help in measuring the black spot. The accident data were collected throughout the city area of Madhubani. The police stations have the fir records of accident of several years. Last ten \HDUV¶ data were extracted from the data record from record number. A sample copy of data record performa is shown in the table.

District Transport Office is the only governmental authority which provides the UHJLVWUDWLRQWRWKHYHKLFOH9HKLFOHXVHUJHWWKHLUYHKLFOH¶VUHJLVWUDWLRQDQGYHKLFOHQXPEHU from DTO. The number of vehicles purchased from the district will have to register their vehicle from DTO. So, from DTO, with prior permission to the responsible officer, we get the number of different class of vehicles registered in the district. This number of vehicle will give an idea of number of vehicles moving in the city. This yearly DTO vehicle record will helps in future forecasting of number of vehicles. The future forecasting of vehicles will help us to understand the future traffic demand and to make the traffic plan more precise for maximum period of time. A sample copy of DTO vehicle data record performa is given in Table.

Previous ten years DTO vehicle data have been consider from 2011 ± 2015 for the present and future analysis of vehicle & traffic. Year wise DTO vehicle data were collected from DTO office and then sorted out month wise. Yearly variation of categorized vehicles is shown in Table.5.27.

4.2.5. Public Questionnaire Method The actual status of traffic and its deficiencies can easily be understanding by asking the public/motorist about their problem faced by them while driving the vehicles, their experience about the present traffic system available. So, I had introduced a method called Public Questionnaire Method in which I had made some set of questions to monitor the present traffic status, difficulties and traffic awareness among the motorist. This will help in setting traffic enforcement, awareness measures, need for the development in the present traffic conditions. It will have a great impact for the development of traffic systems and strictness in traffic rules as it gives us lots of real information about the present conditions. It will justify the deficiencies in the present traffic system and in motorist too. Table.4.7. shows the performa of Questionnaire. Table.4.7. Public Questionnaire Form Date:

Data Administration

For all advantageous administration frameworks, the vitality of compelling information organization can't be over accentuated. The association between the information, the responsibility for information and a point by point depiction of the information must be effectively settled and characterized at the beginning and kept up for the duration of the life of the framework. It is the obligation of the administration inside an association to advertise the imperativeness of powerful information organization and to guarantee that staff is generally prepared and have a proper order for the acknowledgment of this assignment. Specific consideration is obliged where information hails from sources outside the association. Administration must make clear what data is needed, which associations are mindful and what information are to be supplied. The appropriation of an organized methodology will distinguish any crevices in the data and will highlight any information that are of deficient quality.

Data Analysis Methods

Data collection method explains several methods needed to execute the research. Data analysis for making a traffic plan for a mid-sized city includes some methods which can provide an analysis methodology for the data collected and necessary result needed for the research. Traffic planning for a mid-sized city includes the following data analysis: ¾ Identification of present traffic condition. ¾ Identification of previous traffic status. ¾ Identification of accident vulnerable roads. ¾ Interpretation of gathered traffic data. ¾ Traffic forecasting of the city. Basically, there are two major types of data analysis: a. Technical Analysis

ϱϵ 

Technical analysis deals with the technical aspects of research. It includes the analysis of data collected through the method of data collection methodology. Basically, it deals with the accident analysis, present traffic analysis, traffic volume analysis, traffic forecasting analysis, etc. In accident analysis, accident rate and frequency will be analyzed by its formula. Annual, monthly, hourly variations of accidents are analyzed. Vehicles involved, accident related to the traffic volumes, trends of injuries, traffic road side features impacting accidents are monitored and analyzed. All the traffic survey data collected needs uniformity in the sense of unit. So, all the vehicular counts are converted into passenger car unit (PCU). By PWD traffic data, it helps to analyze and compare the traffic data from past with respect to present data. DTO traffic data will be used to analyze the vehicle growth factor and vehicle future forecasting. It gives analysis with the average daily traffic, hourly daily traffic, daily PCU. Different mathematical methods will be used to analyze the data for technical analysis such as Multiple Linear Regression method, accident rate & frequency method, etc. Brief of technical analysis is executed in chapter ± 6. b. Economic Analysis Economic analysis deals with the economic evaluation for execution and implementation of this research. Economic analysis involves the economic evaluation of the research in the sense of project implementation, monitoring, maintenance, etc. cost. It will also consider the cost of HTXLSPHQW¶V, machineries installed for the traffic planning purpose. The estimated data will be compared to the existing economic value of same project of specific implementation/construction/installing costs. The economic analysis focuses on the motto of less economical and more valuable work as no any government will willing to invest much more for the traffic development of a mid-sized or small city.

DATA COLLECTION

5.1.

General

Data collection is the stage of research work where we can justify our methodologies and make a decisional strategy for the result of research. The methodologies explained in the chapter ± 4, based on that, the data are collected from different sources for all the individual methodologies. Traffic survey have been carried out electro-manually to study the number of movements of vehicle with respect to time. Accident data have been extracted from police records. The yearly vehicle record has been provided by District Transport Office. Manually, spot speed study survey have been performed. Feb data records have been obtained from Right to Information Act of Bihar State for the actual verification of our survey data record from the past records of the data. Public questionnaire data have been collected by making a camp on a particular route for few hours and data have been recorded from motorists manually. This is all about data collection performed for the research work. On the basics of the obtained data, the different methodologies have been adopted to analyze these data in chapter ± 6.

5.2.

Traffic Survey Data

Electro-manually, present traffic data have been recorded on every major intersection of road. At every site, the data were collected in two sessions, i.e., morning session & evening session. For each and every survey, the data analysis has been carried out accordingly and the methodologies used to analyze the data have been explained and justified. Initially, at one site, the data have been collected form morning of 8 am to 12 pm and in evening from 3 pm to 7 pm. This has been done to find the peak hour of traffic i.e., the time when there is the maximum movement of vehicles on the road. So, by this, peak time have been obtained and according to the peak time, traffic survey has been carried out. The traffic survey video has been captured in DSLR Camera and have been analyzed to find the number of vehicles moving on the road at different time. The traffic survey has been carried out only for vehicular count at different time. Pedestrian movement have not been considering for traffic survey. Traffic survey is a very beneficial

ϲϰ 



tool for analyzing the current movement of traffic and the current vehicle movement record is the best tool for the planning and development of traffic related parameters. 5.2.1. Thana Chowk Road In order to justify the session time, this site have been surveyed from 8 am to 12 pm and 3pm to 7 pm on 02nd June 2015. Table.5.1.

Spot Speed Data

The three most traffic demand road have been analyzed for speed study. They are Kotwali Chowk ± Thana Chowk road, Thana Chowk ± Bus Stand road and Bus Stand road ± Chavaccha Mor road. These routes are the main route for the major traffic movements. The speed of vehicles on the different road sections have been observed by stopwatch method. The Spot Speed survey have been carried out for 30 minutes of the peak hour session obtained from traffic survey. This survey has been carried out by the help of two peoples using cellphone for giving the information of the vehicles to record the responses. Speed had been obtained by time taken by the vehicle to cross the specific stretch distance. Table.5.21. Spot Speed road section with distance

DATA ANALYSIS

6.1.

General

The analysis of data means the extraction or analysis of all the collected data with some particular methodology for result orientation. For each and every data collection method, the different analysis methodologies have been used. As data collected in the previous chapter, we have traffic survey data, spot speed data, accident record data, DTO vehicle registration data, etc. Traffic survey data helps in analyzing the several aspects of traffic planning such as volume study, road use pattern, traffic counts, future traffic growth, road capacity, level of service etc. DTO vehicle record data gives vehicle growth rate, accident data gives accident forecasting, rate & frequency. Spot study data gives the analysis of speed control status.

6.2.

Traffic Volume Study

Traffic volume study have been carried out by traffic survey. It is the maneuverability of vehicles on the road with respect to time. Traffic volume have been counted as total vehicles and PCU. Following are the motor vehicle volume statics observed during traffic survey. a. Thana Chowk Road in 1st Session Table.6.1. Motor Vehicle Volume for Thana Chowk Road in 1st Session

Vehicle Growth Rate

Vehicle growth rate signifies the growth of motor vehicle in the city. The maximum participation of the traffic movement in the city is the vehicle registered with the district transport authority. District transport authority have made available the data of the number of registered vehicles in the city. Refer Table.5.27. The significance of the analysis of motor vehicle registered data is to find the number of vehicles moving on the city road in the upcoming years. It will help in the estimation of the growth of the road network as per the vehicles moving on the road. Multiple regression analysis method best suit for this type of data analysis. MLR general expression: Y = a + bX ܾൌ

Road Use Pattern

Road use pattern is the hypothetical analysis of the PCU generated on a particular stretch of road section during morning peak hour and evening peak hour. This study gives the analysis of the road use pattern with respect to the survey sessions. This method uses the researcher approach as the data is limited, t-test is perfect suit for the analysis of these types of data.

By putting the values in the formula, we get t-stat. Now if t-stat will be greater than tcritical then the road use pattern is different for the both session otherwise it will be same road use pattern in 1st session and 2nd session.

We have 8 number of sample so, d.f. = (8+8-2) = 14. For d.f. = 14 at 5 % significance level, the t-Critical is 1.9146. Table.6.23. Road Use Pattern Analysis

Traffic Count Conversion

Main input parameters to design a better road network is the study of traffic counts. So, to design a road network for a design life of 20 years, Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) is considered. This is the number of vehicles passing a point in both directions

ϭϮϵ 

per day taking into account the variation in the traffic flow throughout the year and the total number of axles for the same traffic volume. Determination of the AADT from the Average Peak Flow of 2-hour traffic survey, we consider some steps to obtain average daily maximum flow. Having obtained the 24-hour peak counts, a further conversion to 24-hour normal flow may be carried out to obtain an Average Daily Traffic flow, and subsequently to Annual Average Daily Traffic.

Steps of conversion: 1. Conversion of Peak Hour Traffic (PHT) to Average Daily Traffic (ADT)

Peak hour traffic used for design is the traffic, which passes a point during the severest peak hour(s) of the counting period. In order to convert peak hour traffic to Average Daily Traffic (ADT), firstly we find Peak Hour Factor (PHF) which is the ratio of 1-hour peak volume and four times the 15-minute peak volume of the peak hour. PHF =

௏ ସ௑௏ଵହ

Where; V=1hr peak flow V15=15 min peak flow of 1-hr peak flow Steps to find 1-hour peak flow: 1. There are two traffic survey sessions of all the stretches of road. 2. Consider the four maximum volume from each session of traffic survey of a particular stretch of road (15 min volume). 3. Take average of the four volumes of each session. 4. Take average of the obtained average value of each session. 5. This gives the peak hour volume of a particular road section. 6. Do the same procedure for all the 10 sections of the road. 7. Find the average of the all 10 sections of the road. 8. Consider the maximum traffic volume for 1 hour from the average value obtained. 9. Consider the maximum volume for 15 minutes from the obtained value of the 1-hour average peak volume.

ϭϯϬ 



After obtaining Peak Hour Factor, find the maximum rate of flow for the peak 1hour.

MRF =

ଵି௛௢௨௥௣௘௔௞௩௢௟௨௠௘ ௉ுி

Maximum daily traffic (MDT) = 24 X MRF Average Daily Traffic = MDT X Traffic conversion factor The conversion factor is the proportion of 2nd last most value of the peak traffic flow over and highest value of traffic flow over a given peak time as it relates to that prevailing traffic counted under same traffic conditions and over a specific counting period.

2. Conversion of Average Daily Traffic (ADT) to Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT)

Annual Average Daily Traffic is the average traffic that is expected to use a particular road over a year (365 days). The Average Daily Traffic, conversion to Annual Average Daily Traffic is determined from the following expression:

AADT = T-ADT /365.

Where: AADT = Average Annual Daily Traffic. T-ADT = Total Average Daily Traffic. Total Average Daily Traffic is basically calculated in a peak traffic survey for 1 week of every month and the summation of every month traffic is considered as total average daily traffic. But in our case of 1-day traffic survey of 1 site individually, we have total 20 traffic survey data surveyed in 20 days. So, T-ADT = ADT X 31 X 12 Note: 1. All the traffic volumes should be expressed in PCU. 2. Methods to obtain peak hour (2 hr.) traffic data for conversion to Average Daily Traffic, the road section having the same road use pattern in both the session, for that average of peak hour of both sessions should be considered whereas the road

section having different road use pattern in both session, for that the maximum peak hour session should be considered. Calculation: Table.6.24. Traffic Volume for AADT Calculation

Future Traffic Growth

Future growth in traffic volume is very significant for the planning of a better traffic system. As we have analyzed the current traffic growth and vehicle growth, it has been observed that in future, there will be much more traffic growth. By the vehicle growth rate analysis, vehicle growth factor has been generated. Vehicle growth rate is directly proportional to the growth in traffic volume. So, by using the vehicle growth factor, we can find the future traffic volume demand for the city traffic system.

Spot Speed Analysis

From the obtained spot speed data of selected road sections, frequency distribution tables are prepared by arranging the data in groups covering various speed ranges and the number of vehicles in such range. A graph is plotted with the average values of each speed group on the X ± axis and the cumulative percentage of vehicles travelled at or below the different speeds on the Y ± axis. From this graph, the 85th percentile speed is found out which gives that speed at or below 85 percent of the vehicles are passing the point on the roadway or only 15 percent of the vehicles exceed the speed at that spot. The vehicle exceeding 85th percentile speed is considered as vehicle moving faster than the safe speed under existing conditions and hence this speed is adopted for the safe speed limit at this zone. However, for the purpose of geometric design, the 98th percentile speed is taken. The 15th percentile speed represents the lower speed limit if it is desired to prohibit slow moving vehicles to decrease delay and congestion, as 85th percent of vehicles to the stream travel at speeds higher than this value and therefore need overtaking opportunities. a.

Accident Forecasting

Accident forecasting refers to the growth of accident in normal case of present scenario if the proper traffic planning will not be enforced. As per the accident data provided by the city police station from 2006 to 2015 given in Table. No.5.21. it shows that there is no any fatal injury within the city area but there is much major & minor injury. So, as per the growth of the vehicles throughout the city, the rate of accident will also increase as per the following analysis has been done. Multiple linear regression method is best suit for the analysis of these types of data. MLR general expression: Y = a + bX ܾൌ

Discussions

The present study has been conducted to analyze the parameters for the planning of better traffic system of a small or mid ± sized city. In order to perform this research, all the major roads were analyzed with the different traffic related parameters such as traffic survey, spot speed, vehicle count, accident study, public interview method, etc. After the analysis of the data collected, the result of the research focuses the following parameters: a. Initially, traffic volume study was conducted for 8 hours from which, the peak traffic movement was analyzed with the two sessions, i.e., morning session from 09:00 am to 11:00 am and evening session from 04:00 pm to 06:00 pm. b. In the both sessions, traffic survey was performed on the 10 major routes of the city and the traffic volume was recorded in tally sheet as the total number of vehicles moving and in terms of passenger car unit. c. It has been observed that with good level of service, still there is congestions on road due to the roadside parking and unauthorized shops near roadside. d. It has been observed that from 2011 to 2015, the number of vehicle growth was very much with the growth factor of 1.098 and it has been expected as by 2015, vehicle should be just double in compare to as just now. e. Road use pattern also differs with respect to time and with respect to other roads which signifies the traffic movement and traffic demand on the different roads. f. The annual average daily traffic has found to be 8782.56 PCU and it should be increase in future. g. The spot speed parameters of the city are adequate but there should be proper speed marking on the different routes.

ϭϱϯ 

h. There are very less fatalities in the city but minor accidents are occurred on regular basics. i. Public demands for better traffic but there is very less awareness regarding traffic rules among the public.

This chapter gives the strategic proposal for the improvement of development of the traffic system of the city, limitations and future scope of the research.

8.2.

Problem Encountered

The following problems were encountered after the analysis of result in chapter - 7: a. At peak hour, traffic volume is much more which cause congestions. b. Kotwali Chowk - Thana Chowk ± Railway Station road have good traffic flow in peak hours with less congestions but it is the major route for accidents. c. Bata Chowk ± Churi Bazaar ± Bara Bazaar road is considered as the busiest road in the city as it has the most traffic congestion because of road side markets and unauthorized parkings. d. By the continuous growth in vehicles, market area road has not been extended cause the major congestion. e. The major roads have different road use pattern means the road use demand varies from morning session to evening session. f. Vehicle speed enforcement measures are not available causing over speeding. g. Despite of good level of service, maximum road cause congestion due to unauthorized parking and unauthorized markets besides the road. h. Fatal accident at MaharajGunj road is the biggest failure of district administration. i. 'LVSRVDORIJDUEDJH¶VRQWKHURDGLVFRPPRQO\REVHUYHGRQWKHPD[LPXPURDGV j. There is a lack of administrative enforcement for regular checking of driving license, helmets, shoes, etc. k. There is no proper lighting on the all roads of the city except major routes.

ϭϱϲ 



l. The maximum roads have lack of good drainage system causing deterioration of pavements and disturbance to the road user.

Major Recommendations

The necessary recommendations for the development of traffic system should be consider at priority level as per following:

ϭϲϰ 



a. Restriction of heavy vehicles through main city road. b. Diverting heavy vehicles from Jaldhari Chowk ± Ranti road. c. Diverting heavy traffic from Nidhi Chowk ± Stadium Road ± MaharajGunj Road ± Gandhi Chowk ± Rahika Road. d. Necessary enforcement of traffic police at City hospital road ± thana chowk road ± Railway Station road ± Bus Stand road ± Bara Bazar Road ± Chavaccha Mor as these roads have very much traffic demand and congestion. e. Shifting of bus stand outside the city near Kotwali Chowk will improve traffic system and reduce congestion. f. Restriction of road side or on road parking throughout the city area.

8.5.

Limitations of Research

After the completion of the research, the following limitations were observed: a. Traffic survey data is limited. i.e., Single day peak hours due to unavailability of resources and manpower. b. Environmental impact assessment was not considered. c. Traffic signal design was not included. d. Economic evaluation was not included. e. Small streets were not considered.

8.6.

Future Scope

There is very much scope of this research in future. After the analysis of results, recommendations and limitations, the following future scope of the research were analyzed: a. This research can be implemented in any small or mid - sized city of Indian city contest. b. This research can help in building a good traffic system in small cities. c. This research can be further continued for improvements in research work. d. The methodology can be adopted with new technical advancements.

ϭϲϱ 

e. As this is an emerging research topic in the field of transportation planning, this research can be practiced in different city contest with the economic considerations.

8.7.

Summary

As per the investigation and analysis of traffic system, several parameters were identified to improve the existing traffic system and to plan a better traffic system for the society. Different roads and routes were analyzed with existing facilities throughout the city and the proposal for the improvement have been provided. It had been observed that the major congestion is due to road side parking and unauthorized roadside shops. So, it should be restricted and there should be encouragement to the private authorities to construct the proper parking facilities for their employees and their customers. Parking inside court compound is must. Road marking and speed limit board installation is must. There should be encouragement to plant trees on the free spaces of roadside to make the city green and there should be proper facility from the municipal department for garbage disposal to make the city clean.

The study has focused on the evaluation of the parameters of the traffic systems by which a result and recommendations oriented planning can be achieved for the betterment of the traffic system of a small or mid ± sized city. The several studies have been carried out to cope with the problem such as traffic survey, spot speed data, accident record from police station, vehicle data from District Transport Office, public opinion by public questionnaire method. The different methodologies have been performed to analyze the data collected such as traffic volume study, vehicle growth rate, road use pattern, traffic count conversion, future traffic growth, spot speed analysis, capacity and level of service analysis, accident forecasting, analysis of public opinion, etc. To validate the research for the approach of traffic planning for a mid ± sized city, the case of Madhubani: a small district of Bihar has been considered. As currently the traffic system is not planned for the city and have a huge increase in vehicles from last decades with causing congested road networks. Lots of traffic related deficiencies were found while studying the current traffic condition of the city. So, to overcome on the deficiencies of traffic, lots of parameters have been considered to formulate a better traffic plan. Traffic survey is very useful for understanding the traffic conditions. Accident record also gives the traffic & road condition. DTO vehicle record helps us to analyze or forecast the traffic of the city. These all the parameters have been focused for making the traffic plan for a mid-sized city. A set of methodologies have been developed to carry out this research work and the methodologies to analyze the data have been also developed to make this research worth. All the parameters needed to plan a better traffic system have been studied and evaluated in this research. All the elements of data collection have been kept very accurate in order

to analyze the data in a result oriented manner. The data comparison with the previous data makes the project report more precise. Traffic survey kept in the sense of improvement of traffic state of the city as well as making a good parking facilities for the vehicles. The methodologies are developed in such a way that it can be easily make understand and easily implemented for any small or mid-sized city. Traffic survey is a very important tool for this research as it gives the current statics of the traffic of the city. Traffic volumes, capacities, level of services, etc. have been obtained from traffic survey data. In other word, it can be said that survey provides reliable opinioned responses for the research to analyze and suggest recommendations that will improve the system overall. A survey has ability to obtain current response which is vital for discovering issues that cannot be addressed through statical analysis. Traffic volume study have been carried out to at peak hours to analyze the demand of road development or planning to accommodate the volume on the road. Vehicle growth rate have been calculated to analyze the future traffic demand with respect to the growth of the vehicles in future. The pattern of the use of different roads have been analyzed by road use pattern method which signifies the usage of the roads in different time with traffic specified volumes on the same road. Traffic count conversion method have been carried out to analyze the AADT from ADT helps to decide the future AADT. Future estimation of traffic has been also done by the data obtained from DTO. Spot speed analysis have been carried out to analyze the speed statics of the different vehicles on different roads. Road capacity and level of service have been determined to analyze the quantitative and qualitative statics of the different road sections of the city. Accident study have been carried out to analyze the reasons of the accident, the different accident places and accident forecasting have been carried out to analyze the future accident statics if the traffic conditions will not be improved. Last but not least, it had been concluded that traffic planning is a complex method. For planning a better traffic system for a small or mid ± sized city, there are some certain parameters to be evaluated and on the basis of that evaluation, the recommendations should be made as shown in Table 8.1. It can be considering as a startup stage for smart

cities planning which is a current initiation of Government of India. As being a transportation engineer, to provide a safe and reliable journey to the public should be the prime motive.
