Estimation of PCU’s in Heterogeneous Traffic by Different methods

Abstract

Transportation gets more intricate when cities get busier. Increased motor vehicles are moving into towns, which means increased traffic jams. The impacts of urbanisation are pervasive and include, but are not limited to, traffic performance, road safety, pollution, and traffic congestion. The rising number of people in the nation is driving up demand for personal vehicles including cars and motorcycles. Adding additional lanes is not enough to solve traffic congestion effectively. So, studying passenger car units (PCU) in heterogeneous traffic becomes necessary. Efforts to derive PCU values for cities roads with various traffic situations are made on this article. Using the density technique, we got somewhat different PCU values for the remaining three cars, but Chandra's method gave us PCU values of 1.99, 3.37, and 1.33, respectively. The data shows that buses make up a significant portion of the traffic in this region, constituting 23% of the total. Of the entire traffic volume, cars account for 16%. There are 19% fewer cars and trucks on two wheels in the research region. Of the total vehicles in the research region, buses constitute 21%. Nineteen percent of all traffic is caused by cars. It has been found that according to site 1 in the research region, three-wheeled vehicles constitute 18% of total traffic.
