INVESTIGATION OF TRAFFIC PARAMETERS: SPOT SPEED AND TRAVEL SPEED ON TIBET TO LOVE ROAD OF DHAKA CITY, BANGLADESH

Abstract

The application of technical tools and practices to ensure that people and products move safely and promptly on roads is known as traffic engineering. Because of traffic flow, which is linked to traffic features, it is critical for people and products to move safely and promptly. When considering a traffic flow, the three important elements to consider are its volume, speed, and density. City planning and traffic management are not done well enough for the city's roads to be able to meet future needs. People and automobiles have been walking and driving much more in the last decade as middle-class families' incomes have improved. Aside from that, people have long been concerned about speed, which is why the current study examines traffic speed in Dhaka at one of the city's most crucial junctions. The gathering of traffic speed data was given special emphasis in this study, and the data was analyzed using main traffic flow surveys in Dhaka. To study traffic flow, manual methods are used. A traffic survey is conducted to have a better understanding of how traffic flows at the intersection. Data collection was utilized to try to figure out how people used the roadways at different times. Traffic control at that intersection is also depending on how the traffic moves. As a result, the findings of this study can be utilized to regulate traffic at the intersection as well as to recommend some strategies to improve traffic safety in the area, which is why they are significant. Based on the results of the work, there are solutions to fix things like enlarging the road, making it six lanes wide, or increasing public transportation.
