Abstract:

This research paper describes the impact of heavy vehicles on traffic flow at urban road. A number of factors that are thought of as determinants of this effect were considered in this investigation. The data are collected from the selected patch of 60 m from Hingna T-point to CRPF gate, Nagpur. Data collection is done with the help of video filming technique and data are collected at peak hour and off-peak hour. Some important parameter is considering such as traffic parameter (speed, time, and flow), the capacity of the lane, percentage of heavy vehicles, & congestion for this project. While the study results suggest some similarities between free-flow and congested traffic regimes concerning heavy vehicles. Some important dissimilarities exist due to the different mechanisms that govern heavy vehicles.
