Description of
the project
An Indian
Traffic Simulation Model for Two Lane and Four Lane Highways has been developed
at I.I.T. Kanpur with the sponsorship of Ministry of Surface Transport, the
World Bank, the Swedish Road Research Institute and the Australian Road Research
Board. The field studies for this project were carried out by Central Road
Research Institute (CRRI) and model development was done at I.I.T. Kanpur. The
model has now been validated for different road conditions. A Highway Design
& Maintenance Model of the World Bank (HDM), incorporating results of the
Indian Road Users Cost Study is also functional.
This study aims to
integrate the Highway Design Model and Traffic Simulation model. This will
provide the appropriate input necessary for economic evaluation of the highway
Network. The activities include:
-
Simulation
experiments for sensitivity analysis of Traffic Simulation Model for different road and traffic parameters of Indian Highways.
-
Evaluation
of traffic performance measures and estimation of various levels of Service.
-
Development
of Program System for interaction of the various components and make it
interactive, user friendly with graphic displays.
-
Test the performance of the
overall model with graphic displays.
