Title

Estimation of Dynamic PCU values at Signalized Intersection in Ahmedabad city

Abstract

Different classes of vehicles having broad range of characteristics travel on most of the roads in India. Heterogeneous traffic flow or mixed traffic flow is formed due to uncontrolled mixing of such vehicles on the roadways, having much complicated characteristics when compared to homogeneous traffic flow which consists of only single class of vehicle. Analysis of the heterogenous traffic flow is difficult unless these different classes of vehicles are transformed to one common standard vehicle unit. It is a general practice to consider the passenger car as the standard vehicle unit to convert other classes of vehicles called the Passenger Car Unit (PCU). The fundamental idea behind this practice is that different types of vehicles offer different degrees of impedance and hindrance to the traffic stream. The usual practice in India as per Indian Roads Congress is to set up the Static PCU values based on composition of different types of vehicle in the traffic stream as it affect the speed and other related parameters. But at the same time, Static PCU values do not portray the actual scenario of its variation along with the varying vehicular composition and flow rate. This is because different roads offer varying operating and vehicular characteristics. Taking this into consideration, it is advisable to estimate the PCU values based on the varying characteristics of vehicles by linking dynamism to it. In this paper, the traffic volume data collected through video recording method on multilane divided roads in a metropolitan city like Ahmedabad has been adopted for determining the Dynamic PCU values. The Dynamic PCU values are calculated with the help of two methods and the same is estimated with respect to flow and speed.
