Traffic Impact Study of Kalasipalyam Traffic and Transit Management Centre

Abstract

Any development causes severe changes in the traffic conditions in the adjoining areas of the proposed development. Its effects have to be analyzed before the proposed development is implemented to check its severity on traffic conditions for public transport, private vehicles and pedestrians. The goal of a traffic impact study is to assess the potential impact of traffic generated by a proposed development or redevelopment and to identify the road way improvements required to ensure that the road network will operate safely and efficiently upon completion of t he development. A TTMC is proposed to develop at the existing Kalasipalyam bus stand, as the existing road networks do not have sufficient width and already congested the proposed development will definitely have an impact on the existing roadway networks. To address this impact the volume counts will be done and estimate the amount of traffic to be generated by a development. The collected data was analyzed to identify the Roadway Segments capacity and Level of Service (LOS), based on the Indian Roads Congress (IRC) standards sourced from Guidelines for Capacity of Urban Roads in Plain Areas IRC 106-1990. Whereas, the delay and queue lengths at the intersections are estimated using a micro simulation based software and the required mitigation measures will be identified for the better traffic operation condition and circulation in the study area under each scenario
