Abstract
Traffic congestion is a pervasive issue that affects urban areas worldwide. This study investigates congestion on urban roads in an Indian smart city. Video graphic technique was employed to collect data across various traffic volumes. Travel time for different vehicle categories was estimated, and the travel time reliability congestion index was assessed. Multiple linear regression modelling was utilized to assess the attributes influencing congestion. Traffic signal synchronization and enforcement of traffic regulations, decentralization of important offices, and regulating roadside activities received strong recommendations from the majority of inhabitants. For improving the functionality and accessibility, related to the urban road network, these attributes should be enforced. The research intended to assess the functional effectiveness of urban roads using travel time reliability measures.
期刊介绍:
The journal covers the areas in which the faculties and workplaces of the university develop their activities. Communications are seen from a broader point of view: as a means of disseminating information, as an important tool of an information society and, most of all, as a means for providing information. The papers do not deal strictly with communications, but they approach the mentioned area in a more complex way and from different viewpoints. The journal is published mainly for university and academy staff, workers of research institutes and also for the wider community of readers.
