INFLUENCE OF GEOMETRIC PARAMETERS ON LEVEL OF SERVICE OF STATE HIGHWAY 45

Abstract

The study deals with the influenco of different road gcomotrics of state ilighuay ITo.46 on various aspects of traffic flou • Piold data collection and its analysis included traffic volume study and traffio wed study at difforeut roed sections for various conditions of road goomotry Ten sestiono uore olocted to study the influence of arlous pare:meters such as lane uidth, horizontal curve, ribbon development approach to a Tclunction„ poor riding surfaco„ gradient, ontry to a bridge etc* 8n traffic f1oL characteristics* A uido range of flou conditions, from free flow to forced flou has been covered in this vork* This could be possible only through the study during Ardholtumbh. Nola period on this highway, A comprohansive analysis of the data could make it possible to get the service Volumes at difforont levels of service* The comperativo study of capacity at different geometric conditions indicates degree of deficiency of various streohos
