A Study On Traffic Volume Estimation To Identify The Level Of Service (Los) At Mirpur-10 Intersection, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Abstract

The high increase of vehicle, being in proportion to the developing of current times in relation to growing populations, particularly in emerging country like Bangladesh’s metropolitan city is a major issue. It is essential to assess both traffic volume and the quality of transport provision, referred to as the Level of Service (LOS). This study examines vehicle characteristics and traffic volume to determines the level of service (LOS) at a significant intersection to analyze traffic behavior in a most important intersection area and evaluate the intersection's performance. This study examines the dynamics of mixed traffic flow in Dhaka Mirpur-10, Bangladesh. Video cameras and drone were used to collect the traffic data. It was found that the Level of service could be determined using the volume capacity ratio technique. The volume-to-capacity ratio was used to determine the level of service. Since it is hard to predict the traffic flow in Dhaka Mirpur-10, the management of this diverse traffic can be done by using the Passenger Car Unit in order to calculate the PCU estimate. The line of sight for the roadway’s direction is presented. Concerning the means of transportation, they include buses, trucks, mini trucks, cars, CNG, motorcycles, vans, bicycles and Whatever the Vehicle can run as a source of income, Autorickshaw. Following the PCU and V/C ratio analysis, the determine level of service at the junction is irregular and inappropriate as shown. On the basis of the evaluation of both the V/C ratio and the HCM, the residential neighborhood is found to have a level of quality that is much below average. Based on service factors such as speed, travel time, and delay, the (HCM) method uses a Level of Service (LOS) scale that ranges from A to F to characterize traffic conditions. This is a scale that is used to determine the traffic congestion level. After a thorough study of all the relevant components; the extent of autorickshaw use is recommended to be restricted to main roadways. In addition, a traffic signal should be implemented in combination with rigid traffic rules. The biking lane routing infrastructures system should be used to decrease the Mirpur-10 area’s traffic pressure, but only in important interchanges.
