SMVC: Slow Moving Vehicle Composition, Travel Time
Abstract:
Ahmedabad an urban center is characterised with heterogeneous traffic flowing through its streets. It includes vehicles like three wheelers, bus/truck, non motorised which has comparatively lesser accelerating ability, causing impedance to the flow of other motorised vehicles with high acceleration like two wheeler, car etc. hence a study is conducted on selected three stretches to study the influence of such slow moving vehicles on increment in travel time. Study reveals the increase in travel time ranging from 35% to 133% for different SMV Composition on selected stretches.
