A Comparative Study Between Weekdays And Weekend Traffic Volume AT Bangla Motor In Intersectionc

Abstract

The increment of vehicles due to the proportional increment of populations and a rapid development of modern society is a major concern in metropolitan cities in developing countries like Bangladesh. So it is imperative to monitor traffic volume as well as the quality transport supply termed as the Level of Service (LOS). The present study is an investigation of the behaveir of mixed traffic flow in Dhaka city of Bangladesh Field Traffic volume survey was carried out to determine the level of service at a signalized Bangla Motor intersection in Dhaka North City Corporation(DNCC). Level of Service (LOS) was determined by peak hour factor (PHF) method. Nature of traffic flow in dhaka city is heterogeneous.so this heterogeneous or mixed traffic are simplifed by passenger car unit (PCU). Then estimated PCU was used to determine LOS. LOS was calculated for both directions of roads. personal car, Motor bike CNG and buses are the dominat vehiles in this intersection . According to PHF method. LOS of this intersection is very unstable and worst. Considering and evaluating all the findings it can be recommended that increasing and improving public transport faciliyies, demotivating private transport should be applied and road eidth need to be incrased to make the traffic flow suitable. Also incorporatin of an effective intlligent traffic signal. Implementing traffic rules and regulation should be applied and maintained propely in the condition intersection to accelerate the traffic flow in this area
