• Abstract:

  When There Is A Greater Demand For Space Than The Road Can Provide Due To An Inflow Of Vehicles, Traffic Jams Arise. Statistical Computer Models And Numerical Field Data About Vehicle Counts Are Essential Instruments For Assessing The Traffic Volume And Serviceability Of A Route. In This Investigation, Both Have Been Employed. This Study's Main Goals Are To Assess The Level Of Service (LOS), Travel Time, Degree Of Saturation, Wait Time, And Perform A Thorough Analysis Of The Traffic Flow To Develop A Plan To Lessen Roundabout Traffic Congestion. During Peak Hours, From 12:00 To 1:30 P.m., The Number Of Vehicles Passing Through The Roundabout At Redisson Square's Eastern Entrance, Located At MR 10, Was Counted. In Order To Make The Mixed Traffic Stream Uniformly Equal, It Was Subsequently Changed To Passenger Car Units (PCU). The Roundabout At Redisson Square At The City Entry Needs More Development To Improve The Terrible Traffic Conditions, According To The Findings Of The Systematic Study Of The Data Collected. The Current Road Layout Was Measured Using Surveying Equipment To Perform An Accurate Simulation, And The Findings Were Utilised To Create A Model. Lanes For Acceleration And Deceleration Were Suggested To Enhance Roundabout Efficiency And Ease Traffic. Following Road Safety, The Roundabout Extension Idea Was Then Incorporated Into The Geometric Design In Order To Assess Its Efficacy In Easing Traffic Congestion. From 2015 To 2024, The Roundabout's Lanes' Level Of Service Improved Significantly In Terms Of Traffic Flow, Road Safety, And Accident Records.
