TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT OF MADHAVGANJ INTERSECTION IN VIDISHA CITY

Abstract

Integrated Traffic administration is the main criteria for the effective planning in any city. Most of the traffic problems are caused by various deficiencies in scheduling, engineering and some sorts of management issues. In Vidisha, a city in Madhya Pradesh, faces rigorous traffic congestion due to quick and hysterical development by an undesirable level of inconsistency in transportation demand and supply circumstances resulting in environmental humiliation as well. To assess the severity of the existing traffic system engulfed by tremendous traffic congestion in Vidisha city a study was conducted by our team. In the study, traffic volume count, survey of road geometry and calculation of flow capacity was performed. Relevant secondary data was also collected. Compared to the run
controlled junction, Signalized Intersection can reduce speed as well as the point of divergence and the overall delay is less as compared to the normal intersection. Hence it is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of the intersection. Traffic congestion mainly occurred by a range of vehicles like rickshaw, bullock cart etc, which was followed by tempo, car, bus, truck etc due to which proper traffic flow cannot be maintained. An encroachment along the roadside also causes the problem in maintaining the traffic flow . In this study an attempt is made to solve the problem of traffic congestion and unusual delay to the traffic movement due to the very large traffic volume at Intersection in Vidisha city. A square named madhavganj is selected and study regarding the traffic volume count, road geometry was conducted. After which peak hours are selected and the traffic signal is design as per the above data.
Such a detailed scenario of the traffic paradigm of madhavganj square in vidisha city is depicted in this paper.
