The main focus of this study is aimed at understanding the recurring urban congestion, its measurement and mitigation. Literature review on this problem reveals some interesting insights. One of the important outcome was that there is no single, broadly accepted definition of traffic congestion. Traffic congestion can generally be defined as excess of demand for road travel. Many professionals and organizations have defined congestion in different ways based on variety of criteria. There have been attempts to develop congestion measurement indices for heavily motorized countries. In less motorized countries, there are not many documented studies on how to measure congestion and plan for its mitigation. Identification of traffic congestion threshold is an essential requirement for defining the congestion and suggesting appropriate mitigation measures.
