A SIMULATION APPROACH USING VISSIM ON DESIGN OF TRAFFIC

SIGNAL AT UNCONTROLLED 4-LEGGED URBAN INTERSECTION.

ABSTRACT

The design of traffic signals at four-legged unsignalized intersections is a pivotal aspect of


urban traffic management, especially in the context of Indian road conditions characterized by
high-density traffic and diverse vehicle types. This abstract outlines a methodology for the
signalization of such intersections to streamline traffic flow and enhance safety. The approach
integrates traffic engineering principles with local traffic patterns, considering the
heterogeneous mix of vehicles and the unique driving behaviours observed in India.
A comprehensive traffic volume study forms the foundation of the design process, capturing
the intricate dynamics of Indian traffic. The data collected informs the development of signal
timing strategies that accommodate the varying demands of each approach leg. Utilizing the
Webster’s method, the cycle length and phase timings are calculated to minimize delays and
ensure equitable distribution of green time among all approaches. The signal phases are
optimized to reduce the likelihood of congestion and conflicts, considering the prevalent
conditions such as frequent stops, mixed traffic streams, and limited road space.
Simulation Software like VISSIM is used to model the designed signals, allowing for
adjustments and validation before implementation. The result is a signal design that is
responsive to the real-time complexities of Indian traffic, promoting a smoother and safer
intersection experience.
