DESIGN, PERFORMANCE AND PLANNING OF SIGNALIZED ARTERIAL TRAFFIC NETWORKS

The report presents the study of an arterial (signalized) traffic net-work analysis using TRANSYT-7F computer software program. The performance of the system is evaluated in terms of performance index, average delay per vehicle, percent stops, rate of fuel spent and speed of the system on the whole. Several alternative schemes for the improvement of the system have been studied and the results are presented. Extensive study has been conducted on the influences of various parameters on the system performance. Field data has been collected since 1963 using the FORECAST PLUS computer software package forecasts for the year 2010 have been derived.
