With the consideration of uneven traffic volume distribution at intersections on urban arterials, this paper aims to minimize overall passenger delay (buses and private vehicles) identify applicable conditions proposed method with field data. The overlapping phase-based signal control logic bus priority algorithm under two-way coordination arterial roads are proposed. vehicular capacities occup...

Speed and traffic volume data are collected on different sections of four lane and six lane roads in three metropolitan cities in India. Speed data are analyzed to fit the statistical distribution to individual vehicle speed data and all vehicles speed data. It is noted that speed data of individual vehicle generally follows a normal distribution but speed data of all vehicle combined at a sect...

Motorcycles are one of the main transportation modes in some Asian countries because of their advantages, such as better mobility and lower costs, as compared to automobiles. Most of the current designs of roads, such as speed limit and lane markings, are based on automobile traffic and not entirely suitable for motorcycles. Therefore, there is a need to further investigate the traffic characte...

Abstract One way to promote public transport use in cities lies establishing bus priority routes (BPRs) on main traffic arterials, reduce travel times. But, BPRs require infrastructure changes road layouts, creating more complex settings that may have safety implications. Previous research indicated design features affect BPRs' safety, but findings regarding the impacts of various BPR configura...

Urban arterials are characterized by frequent intersections. Queue length and delay are the two primary measures of performance of intersection. These measures play a primary role in determining the arterial performance. This article presents a methodology to determine the number of vehicles in queue at a signalized intersection for under saturated traffic conditions. The results obtained were ...
