Abstract: |
The road
traffic in developing countries like India are highly
heterogeneous with vehicles of wide ranging static and dynamic
characteristics. The heterogeneous traffic do not
follow traffic lanes and hence, the available models of traffic flow, which
are based on lane based homogeneous traffic, can not be applied to study the characteristics of heterogeneous traffic flow. Recently, a
simulation model named, HETEROSIM has been developed to replicate the field
conditions of heterogeneous traffic flow. This paper is concerned with application
of the model to estimate the saturation flow rate of heterogeneous traffic
with the specific purpose of studying the effect of road width on saturation
flow measured in passenger car units (PCU) per unit width of road. |
