EFFECT OF TRAFFIC COMPOSITION ON STREAM EQUIVALENCY FACTOR

Le résumé fourni par la source

India having different categories of highways with various categories of vehicles. The geometric plan of highways and the number of lanes in highways are affected by the various vehicle operations on 2-lane, 4-lane, 6-lane highways. Different characteristics of vehicles moving on the various categories of roads are the characteristic of vehicles, the size of vehicles, weight of vehicles, maximum turning radius of vehicles, speed of various categories of vehicles on the road, acceleration of vehicles, braking, and horsepower of the engine of vehicles are different from vehicles to vehicles on the road. The aim of this study is the estimation of stream equivalency factor (K) for 2-lane, 4-lane, 6-lane roads. The Passenger Car Unit (PCU) values determine with the help of the equation of INDO-HCM 2017 and IRC 106. In this study, 6 different sites of the Gujarat region of India are selected for the study of stream equivalency factor (K). Traffic volume and speed of various categories of vehicles at 5 min interval data are used for calculation of (K) values. In this study, dynamic PCU values are calculated from data, and estimation of stream equivalency factor values. Stream equivalency factor values vary from various categories of roads according to several lanes under mixed traffic conditions. Stream equivalency factor equation have R2 for 2-lane, 4-lane, 6-lane roads are 0.9966, 0.8111 & 0.8023 respectively.
