HEN 313323 Practical No: 10 Carry out Traffic Volume Study (minimum two hours of peak period) for an important road intersection or roadway in your city/ town/ village

Traffic volume studies provide essential insights for transportation planning, infrastructure design, and traffic management. By understanding traffic patterns and volumes, authorities can optimize road layouts, signal timings, and public transportation routes to improve efficiency and safety. This practical will help you know traffic flow during peak and non-peak hours. Based on traffic volume count the most possible and feasible solutions can be drawn to minimize the common problems in traffic engineering.

Observations

Result

The experiment shows that both XYZ Intersection in Mumbai and ABC Junction in New Delhi experience high traffic volumes during peak hours, with many vehicles moving straight and a considerable number of pedestrians at both locations, indicating the need for effective traffic management and pedestrian safety measures.
