Keerthi Final Report

TRAFFIC PLANNING AND CAPACITY ANALYSIS FOR STATE ROADS IN ANDRA PRADESH
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Traffic in India

Road transportation is the dominant mode of travel in India. In 2012, roads
carried approximately 85% of the country’s passenger traffic and 65% of its freight.
Roads form the backbone of public transport and connectivity to other modes such as
ports and airports. About 40% of road traffic in India is carried by Notional Highways,
however they only account for 2% of the country’s road network. India has a national
highway density comparable to that of United States, however most highways in India are
narrow and congested.
In India, driving is not about following traffic rules it’s about who drives fast, heavy
weight vehicles take advantage while moving on the roads, racing with the other vehicle
and not considering the vehicle coming from the opposite side.it is observed that trucks
never give way to other vehicles, two wheeler riders not wearing helmets and most of the
drivers do not use indiators,sometimes it is also observed that 3or 4 people travelling on
two wheeler .when tourists visit to India they find traffic rules not being properly
followed.
However, even though it’s chaotic and very extremely dangerous, the system somehow
works. Things like road rage or drink drive do exist but it’s not as bad as some countries
of the world such as New York City or Miami. However sad reality is that more people
are killed in traffic accidents than in any other country. The top 2 worst traffic cities in
India are New Delhi, none other than India’s capital and Mumbai, the financial capital of
India. With a population of 14 million, seems as if every single seems to be out on the
streets during rush hour in Delhi. The trouble with Mumbai commuters is that they think
the car in front is run by their horn and not gasoline.

1.2 Traffic in Andhra Pradesh

In the state of Andhra Pradesh, the high growth is due to economic reform has resulted
in signify movement of goods and people, which in turn created problems such as conges
on, pollute on and overburden and deteriorate on of existing infrastructure.
More than 7% of the country’s national highway (3144km) is located in Andhra Pradesh.
Two vital national highways, NH5 and NH9, intersect at Vijayawada, the current
business capital of Andhra Pradesh. Table1: illustrates the Existing Roads in the Capital
Region. NH5 connects the Capital Region with the two industrial centers of Chennai and
Kolkata, whilst the NH9 connects the Capital Region with Hyderabad and Machilipatnam
Port. Several large cities and towns in the Capital Region, such as Guntur, Gannavaram,
Mangalagiri, Jaggayyapeta and Nandi Gama are also located along these two National
Highways. High traffic c demand is expected along the National Highways, as they are
the only roads that connect the Capital Region with other commercial centers.
Table 1: Existing Road Lengths (by type) in Capital Region
Road Type Length(km) Percentage

National Highway 357 4%
State highway 365 4%
Major district roads 1822 21%
Other district roads 857 10%
Village road 5391 61%
Transportation Issues
 Heavy traffic congestion due to insufficient lane capacity

 Connections in the Capital Region depend on two National Highways
 Congestion at Prakasam Barrage due to high traffic demand across the Krishna
River
 Poor road quality and under-funded existing road maintenance leading to
deterioration of roads.

The expansion of National Highways and State Roads are expected to alleviate traffic
congestion, however there is need to study projected demand in consideration of the new
Capital City. Its central location makes it an ideal distribution hub to Chennai,
Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad.
1.3 General
Road traffic is increasing steadily over the years. An international forecast
predicts that such increase will continue in near future. Even in case of developed
countries, there is a shortage of funds required for new infrastructure projects, both for
constructing them and their maintenance and repairs. The position of a developing
country like India is obviously far worse. As a result, more and more roads are
deteriorating and the existing pavement structure is often found to be inadequate to cope
up with the present traffic. The present total length of NHs is about 66,590 km. The State
Highways provide linkages with the National Highways, district headquarters, important
towns, tourist Centre’s and minor ports. Their total length was about 1, 37,711 km as at
the end of March 2002. The proper strengthening and maintenance of roads is urgently
required.
A majority of these roads do not have traffic worthy pavement. The cost of
strengthening and repair by conventional method of this large network will need huge
resources both physical and financial which are quite scarce.
Since we require great road, appropriate administration of the assets must be

done to keep up our road systems. Thus, it is fundamental to monetary investigate roads
on a legitimate level headed premise and focus on the improvement in a staged way. A
vital transportation framework must be created in a productive way.
1.4 Over View of Andhra Pradesh State

Andhra Pradesh is the eighth-largest state in India accounting an area of 162,970 km2. As
per 2011 Census of India, On 2 June 2014, the north-western portion of Andhra Pradesh
was separated to form a new state of Telangana, and then Amaravati is the new capital of
the state. The Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of the state in the 2016–2017
financial year at current prices is ₹6,800.3 billion The state is composed of three major

regions: Coastal Andhra, Uttar Andhra and Rayalaseema, These three regions comprise
13 districts, with 3 in Uttar Andhra, 6 in
Coastal Andhra and 4 in Rayalaseema.
Visakhapatnam is the largest city in
Andhra Pradesh is the commercial hub
of the state with a GDP of $43.5 billion.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 General
Florian M. Heinitz(2017)
The paper describes the implementation of a long-range road network plan at the federal
state level, the article puts emphasis on the consistency of previously compartmentalized
development steps. Aiming to overcome inconsistencies, an integrated approach to a
policy formation framework is presented, allowing for the systematic identification of a
road network improvement project. Organizational and technological options for the
delivery of consistency and a better the usage of the project opportunity space is
explored,
2.2 Rajesh Gajjar and Divya Mohandas (2014)
The present study is a critical assessment of road capacities on major urban roads in
Mumbai, Maharashtra. Field traffic surveys were carried out to capture the classified
volume count for major arterial, sub-arterial and collector roads spread across Mumbai
through manual as well as video graphic techniques This has been compared with the
maximum Road capacity values specified as per IRC 106-1990 for urban roads to
critically analyse the existing capacity potential of major roads in Mumbai
2.3 MohsinMa nzoorJanw ariGeetam TiwaribSud ershan K. Poplic (2014)
The present study in Srinagar city is to ascertain Volume to Capacity (V/C) ratio as
Roadway Congestion Index (RCI) for 22 road links and determining their Level of
Service (LOS). The results indicate that conventional evaluation practice by V/C are
biased that does not take into account the flow of non-motorized vehicles (pedestrians) in
determining LOS on the urban roads which accounts for 22% of total number of trips and
have no access to footpath in study area.

2.4 JIA Shunping, PENG Hongqin, LIU Shuang

(2011)
Urban traffic state is usually measured by vehicle average travel speed. It reflects the
resident travel behaviour on urban road network, and changes with the actual matching
status of traffic demand and supply. In this paper, the traffic supply is estimated by the
ideal carrying capacity, and the traffic demand is evaluated by vehicle traffic intensity
considering resident travel characteristics.
2.5 S.RAJI, DR.A.JAGANNATHAN (2017)
In addition to all process and attempts recommended and followed by number of

transport researchers and organizations, of evaluating LOS for varying conditions of
traffic stream and its interaction with facility and user, now the new trend of LOS
assessment has come up for linking different modes of Transportation. The different
mode of related road transportation includes Cycle tracks, Pedestrians Foot Path, Bus
Lanes, Heavy vehicle Lanes etc. The choice of modes by users and its socio-economic
effect will be a deciding factor for flow and travel time of the interlinked mode
connecting origins and destinations. Moreover the advent and scope of application of ITS
has given new avenues for computing LOS with Information and Communication
Technology. Further the findings of research so far carried out for LOS for higher
categories of roads like Freeways/Highways/Urban roads can be compared with urban
streets serving smaller town population. The traffic in smaller town streets/roads are more
influenced by prevailing land use and demographic factors , therefore various such
factors perceived by users can also be qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated using
modern computing tools for designating Level of Service for roads of these specific
areas.

CHAPTER 3
METHODOLOGY
3.1 Flow chart

3.2 Introduction
Traffic volume studies are conducted to determine the number, movements, and
classifications of roadway vehicles at a given location. These data can help identify
critical flow time periods, determine the influence of large vehicles or pedestrians on
vehicular traffic flow, or document traffic volume trends. The length of the sampling
period depends on the type of count being taken and the intended use of the data
recorded. For example, an intersection count may be conducted during the peak flow
period. If so, manual count with 15-minute intervals could be used to obtain the traffic
volume data.
Two methods are available for conducting traffic volume counts: (1) manual and (2)
automatic. Manual counts are typically used to gather data for determination of vehicle
classification, turning movements, direction of travel, pedestrian movements, or vehicle
occupancy. Automatic counts are typically used to gather data for determination of
vehicle hourly patterns, daily or seasonal variations and growth trends, or annual traffic
estimates.
3.3 Manual Count Method
Most applications of manual counts require small samples of data at any given location.
Manual counts are sometimes used when the effort and expense of automated equipment
are not justified. Manual counts are necessary when automatic equipment is not available.
Manual counts are typically used for periods of less than a day. Normal intervals for a
manual count are 5, 10, or 15 minutes. Traffic counts during a Monday morning rush
hour and a Friday evening rush hour may show exceptionally high volumes and are not
normally used in analysis; therefore, counts are usually conducted on a Tuesday,
Wednesday, or Thursday.
A manual count study includes three key steps
1. Perform necessary office preparations.

2. Select proper observer location.
3. Label data sheets and record observations.

3.3.1 Perform Necessary Office Preparations
Start with a review of the purpose of the manual count. This type of information will help
determine the type of equipment to use, the field procedures to follow, and the number of
observers required. For example, an intersection with multiple approach lanes may
require electronic counting boards and multiple observers.
3.3.2 Select Proper Observer Location
Observers must be positioned where they have a clear view of the traffic. Observers
should be positioned away from the edge of the roadway. If observers are positioned
above ground level and clear of obstructions, they usually have the best vantage point.
Visual contact must be maintained if there are multiple observers at a site. If views are
unobstructed, observers may count from inside a vehicle.
3.3.3 Traffic Volume Counts Label Data Forms and Record Observations
Manual counts may produce a large number of data forms; therefore, the data forms
should be carefully labelled and organized. On each tally sheet (a blank tally sheet is
provided in Appendix B), the observer should record the location, time and date of
observation, and weather conditions.
3.4 Project Background

Road and Building Department (RBD) of the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GOAP)
has entrusted the responsibility of planning, construction and maintenance of the key
State roads to the Andhra Pradesh Road Development Corporation (APRDC). In order to
improve the selected core road network, APRDC has planned to provide better quality
and safer roads to the road users on a sustainable basis. In this context, APRDC is
seeking the World Bank (WB) funding for the proposed Andhra Pradesh Road Sector
Project (APRSP). This is continuation to the earlier loan from the Bank on improving
core network in the state.
APRDC appointed URS Infrastructure in JV with URS Scott Wilson India Pvt Ltd for
providing Consultancy Services to Establish a Road Management System through a
Contract agreement No. 3/2011-12/CE(RBD), CRN & MD APRDC dt 28-04-2011. AP

State has bifurcated in to two States on 2nd June 2014 as AP and Telangana State and
hence the consultant has submitted a revised technical and financial proposal due to
change in scope of works and role to incorporate various changes in road collection
methodologies and software for RMS system etc.
APRDC approved Variation 01 (V01) for additional works for carrying out Traffic
Surveys for 1105 locations in Thirteen Districts) or Consultancy Services to Establish
Road Management System on the AP State Road Network vide letter

3.5 Scope of Work

In this study, AECOM/URS is a RMS Consultant, the scope for Traffic Surveys is to
carry out 1 day 24 hours classified Traffic volume count for 1105 locations only for CRN
roads (SH, MDR) in AP State. The locations shall be decided in discussion with the
clients during the period of data collection based on the traffic flow pattern and
availability of Traffic Data for other roads.
The Classified traffic volume survey - 1 day, 24 hours for1105 count stations has been
distributed in 13 districts, as shown in Table 3

3.6 Methodology and Guideline

The following guidelines were followed in fixing up the Traffic Volume count stations:
 The Traffic locations for CRN roads have been considered based on the data
available from previous studies and other studies going on in the state.
 The locations were strategically placed at the mid sections of the road links.
 The survey locations were placed that there were no major intersections
present nearby.
 The locations were positioned so that the traffic behaviour could be captured
by all the survey points present in a particular road.
 The locations were approximately kept one for SH, MDR, which is
considered as CRN.
 The locations were placed in rural sections so that the effect of urban flow
would be restricted.
3.7 Analysis of Traffic Volume Count Data
3.7.1 PCU Factor
The various vehicle types having different sizes and characteristics were converted into
equivalent passenger car units. The vehicle classification system adopted for conducting
the traffic volume counts along with respective Passenger Car Unit (PCU) factors, as
recommended by Indian Road Congress in “Guidelines for Capacity of Roads in Rural
Areas” (IRC-64-1990) are presented in Table 4.

3.7.2 Seasonal Factor
Monthly fuel sale data has been collected from fuel filling stations along the APRMS
study corridors for the past years. District wise average monthly fuel sale data from these
fuel stations has been used to derive the daily fuel sale to estimate the seasonal correction
factor for the corresponding month of traffic surveys conducted.
The seasonal factor for any month is estimated by using the following formula:
𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐹𝑢𝑒𝑙 𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑎 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟

𝑆𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 (𝑆𝐶𝐹) =
𝐹𝑢𝑒𝑙 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ
For example, Surveys were carried out in the month of March the seasonal correction
factors are 1.22, 1.00 & 1.07 for petrol, diesel and combined sales respectively and this is
shown in Table 5.
The seasonal factor for car mode is assumed as the factor derived from combined sales of
petrol and diesel. This is based on the assumption that cars use either petrol or diesel as
fuel. As commercial vehicles use only diesel as fuel, the factor derived from diesel sale is
adopted for commercial vehicles (Trucks/MAV/LCV) and the factor derived from petrol
is adopted for two wheelers for

3.7.3 Average Daily Traffic (ADT)

The traffic volume count surveys were carried out for one day and the Average Daily
Traffic (ADT) was calculated as an arithmetic average for 1 day. These ADT are
expressed in terms of Number of Vehicles and PCU’s for all locations of District.
3.7.4 Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT)

The traffic on the project corridor generally varies over different periods of the year
depending on the seasons of the regions through which it passes due to socio economic
activities. In order to have a more realistic picture of the traffic on the study corridors, it
is required to assess seasonal variation in traffic to estimate the Annual Average Daily
Traffic (AADT). Therefore, the ADT observed during the survey duration is multiplied
by a Seasonal Correction Factor (SCF) to derive the AADT. The seasonal correction
factor is generally derived from secondary data source such as past month-wise fuel sales
data from different fuel filling stations along the project corridor.

CAPACITY AUGMENTATION
4.1 Traffic Composition
4.1.1. ANANTAPUR
The district is situated in the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh. Anantapur City is
the district headquarters of the district. Anantapur is the largest district in terms of area in
Andhra Pradesh and 7th largest district in India respectively. The district is bounded on
the north by the Kurnool District, on the southeast by Chittor District, on the east by YSR
District, and on the west and southwest by Karnataka state.
4.1.1.1 Road Network
The district has 353 Km of National Highways, 3489 Km of PWD Roads, and 7157 Km
of Panchayat roads .National Highway (NH) 7 and NH 42 are the major national
highways that pass through the district.
NH 205 connects Anantapur to Chennai (406 Km), NH 7 connects to Bengaluru (215

km) NH5 connects Anantapur to Visakhapatnam (967 Km) while also connecting
Chennai & Kolkata.
4.1.1.2 Traffic Composition
The traffic composition on the project roads shows that the share of total motorized
traffic and non-motorised traffic is 98.06% and 1.94% of the total traffic. This implies no
significant movement of non-motorised traffic in certain corridors. The contribution of
goods vehicles to the total traffic ranges from 6.04% to 29.68%.

4.2 Traffic projection
Transportation forecasting is the process of estimating the number of people or vehicles

that will use a specific transportation facility in the future. Transportation forecasts can be
utilized in a variety of different situations and with different modes of transport, from
estimating traffic volumes on a specific segment of road or highway, to estimating ships
in a port, or passenger volumes on a city’s buses.
Traffic forecasts help to explain what the needs of the future might be end provide
benchmarks for proper design and efficient transportation system operation.
1. Development of infrastructure capacity and design capacity design

calculations(eg;the operations of an existing or proposed roadway or bridge, or
the thickness or type of roadway pavement)
2. Estimation of the financial and/or social viability of projects(eg;developing
benefit-cost analyses and or social impact assessments)
3. Calculation of environmental impacts, such as air and noise pollution.
Travel analysis and traffic forecasts occur and are important inputs in developing
infrastructure – from guiding the department’s overall transportation policy, to informing
planning studies and the engineering design of specific projects.

Traffic Forecasting Section provides expertise in:

1. Highway traffic forecast assumption development and completion
2. Regional travel demand and forecasting model development
3. Travel and origin-destination survey implementation
4. Vehicle miles of travel estimation
5. Special studies and analysis
6. Peak and design hour factor development
7. Heavy truck classification estimation procedures
4.2.1 Planning-Level Forecasts
Planning-level forecasts fulfill the requirements for preservation projects on the state
roads highway system and Connecting Highways that are a part of the National Highway
System (NHS).
1. New construction
2. Reconstruction
3. Expansion
4. Bridge replacement
5. Interchange Access Justification Report (IAJR)
6. Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE)
7. Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)
8. Freeway/expressway designation
9. Projects with an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or Environmental
Assessment (EA)
Traffic forecasts is a process of predicting the current traffic based on the growth rate for
a selects analysis region.
4.2.2 Projected Traffic Growth rate
Traffic forecast has been made based on the demand elasticity approach as per IRC
108:1996 Considering the factors such as past performance of the economy, recent
developments in economic liberalization measures, shifts in between sectors,
opportunities available in local and global markets estimated elasticity value is

formulated. Based on the estimated elasticity value and forecast growth rate of economic
variables, the future growth rate for each type of vehicle is computed
4.2.3 LEVEL OF SERVICE
Level of Service (LOS) is the term used to describe network performance, preferably in a
manner that is meaningful to users. It is an important concept in resource allocation
because it enables systems to be evaluated against each other, recognising that resources
are unlikely to be available to provide the highest level of service throughout. LOS may
be defined as a representation of how the asset is performing in terms of both delivering
the service to stakeholders and maintaining its physical integrity at an appropriate level.
Level of Service for road networks is often defined in terms of traffic flow The Highway
Capacity Manual (2000) defines Levels of Service for Highways as given in Table
Table 32: level of Service for Highways
A Free flow complete Freedom (night time conditions)

B Reasonably Free flow Very Minor delays
C Stable flow Safety below capacity ;few interruptions
D Approaching unstable flow Speeds reduced by traffic
E Unstable flow Irregular progress as road design capacity exceeded
F Forced or Breakdown Flow Completely unpredictable progress
Recommended design service volumes for India, as defined by the Indian Roads
Congress 1990, are given in table. Where there are only low quality shoulders, the design
value should be reduced by 50%. Where dual carriageway roads have properly designed
1.5 metre wide shoulders, the capacity should be increased to 40,000 PCU.
For LOS C, Design Service volumes is taken as shown in below Table 33

Table 33: Design Service volume by Road Standard in PCU per day
Plain Terrain Rolling Terrain Hilly Terrain
Road Shoulder Type LOS B LOS C* LOS B LOS C* LOS B LOS C*
Single Lane Earthen shoulders 2000 2800 1800 2500 1600 2250
Intermediate Lane Earthen shoulders 6000 8400 5700 8000 5200 7500
Earthen shoulders 15000 21000 11000 15400 7000 9800

2 Lane

Earthen shoulders 35000 52500 35000 52500 17500 24500

4 Lane
Paved shoulders 40000 60000 40000 60000 20000 30000
By the obtained growth rate and pcu’s ,the base year traffic is been projected for a period
of 10years ,by the consideration of standard LEAVE OF SERVICE(LOS-C AND LOS-
B) theexisting service of the road are analysed and the particular proposal are made
which reaches the leave of service.


4.2.2 Traffic projection for the Ananthpur
As per the above traffic projection; Anantapur - Thagarakunta road in the anantapur
district.Taffic projection has been done for the base year 2016 it’s been done for 30years
i.e.2016-2046 LOS C and los b is been projected as per the standard values.
From the above road traffic projection:
In this road base year is been consider as 2016.
No of vehicles-2680
Pcu’s-2451per day
For level of services C as per given standers of pcu’s per day for single lane is 2800
I.e. single lane will reach in the year 2017
No of vehicles-2897
Pcu’s-2633 per day
Intermediate lane will reach in the year 2038
We do not consider intermediate lane because we estimate only for 10 years i.e. 2016-
2026
4.3Capacity augmentation
Capacity augmentation- for CRN Roads in Andhra Pradesh (APRMS)
4.3.1Capacity analysis
Capacity analysis tries to give a clear understanding of how much traffic a given
transportation facility can accommodate. Level of service tries to answer how good the
present traffic situation on a given facility is. Thus it gives a qualitative measure of

traffic, whereas capacity analysis gives a quantitative measure of a facility. Capacity and
level of service varies with the type of facility, prevailing traffic and road conditions etc.
Capacity is defined as the maximum number of vehicles, passengers, or the like, per unit
time, which can be accommodated under given conditions with a reasonable expectation
of occurrence. Some of the observations that are found from this definition can be now
discussed. Capacity is independent of the demand. It speaks about the physical amount of
vehicles and passengers a road can afford. It does not depend on the total number of
vehicles demanding service. On the other hand, it depends on traffic conditions,
geometric design of the road etc. For example, a curved road has lesser capacity
compared to a straight road. Capacity is expressed in terms of units of some specific thing
(car, people, etc.), so it also does depend on the traffic composition. In addition, the
capacity analysis depends on the environmental conditions too. Capacity is a probabilistic
measure and it varies with respect to time and position. Hence it is not always possible to
completely derive analytically the capacity. In most cases it is obtained, through field
observations
For carringout capacity augmentation for proposed location of the roads. The data which
are need are been tabulated, specific sections has to be consider by selecting particular
road ID, chainages.then the existing type of the road weather it is a single lane,
intermediate lane, two lane roads, fore lane type of roads and exiting pavements
conductions i.e. bitumen earthen or cement concrete pavement. Width and length of
carriage way for exacter calculation of the cost for the proposed maintains or
upgradarion, can be done by projected traffic and standard leave of servicer and the initial
AADT and the base year and capacity reached year are tabulated to the proposal has to be
made one year proceeding to the upgrader and maintainers standard .cost per km are
separately were made.upagradtion are made in such a way that two lane to two +earthen
should or two+paved,two+paved to fore lane are adopted for the analysis.in this study we
have adopted LOS C .
4.3.2Capacity Augmentation Scheme for CRN

The capacity Augmentation is carried out by determining type of the existing road and
its Los and by determining the AADT of that location, The widening or rehabilitation

work has to be carried out and cost per length is determined and the below procedures are
explained for a district chittoor.

CONCLUSION
The road network master planning problem provides a road network graph based on the
network load pattern the requirements are made to achieve transport political targets those
are formalized by a welfare function. Traffic surveys were conducted in the state of
Andrapradesh, 85 locations were selected for this survey among 13 districts. Traffic
survey was carried out to classify volume count for state highway roads using manual
(traffic volume count). Traffic projection has been identified by level of service (LOC).
Based on exiting servable capacity of the road network section up gradation and
rehabilitation proposals are provided with the corresponding the cost estimation per km
.and summary for the cost estimation for each district are been tabulated.
This study measures the traffic supply by ideal capacity of road network, and evaluates the
traffic demand by traffic intensity with sufficient consideration of resident travel
characteristic.Effecting planning of state road network to provide good
serviceability.Providing suggestion regarding existing lane service to reduce congestion
and service. The quantitative estimation of urban traffic state provide possible solution of
urban traffic problems, which varies with continuous changes of traffic demand and
supply status.
