OBSERVATIONS & INFERENCES

1. The hours of maximum traffic inflow & outflow corresponds with that of the

business as well as office hours hence it can be said that this road is majorly

used for work purposes.

2. The inflow of two wheelers is 13% more than the outflow whereas inflow of

car/jeep is % less than the outflow. Hence it can be said that this road is mostlyused by people having two wheelers for moving towards bazar and 4wheelers

for coming inside the city.

3. During the peak hours there is maximum inflow & outflow of volume share of

private & fast moving vehicles.

4. The outflow of traffic is less than the inflow in this road.

5. Goods vehicles has only 5% to 6% volume share as compared to the private

vehicles being about 90%, hence it can be said that this road is majorly used for

work purposes.6. Very high number of public transport movement can be observed on this road.

7. But with the increasing trend of trade and commercial activities observed in the

city this road can see increased traffic inflow as well as outflow which would

demand for wider road in the future.

TRIP BY MODE

HOUSEHOLD TRIP CHARACTERISTICS

Travel characteristic is the study of various

trip typologies which would enable us to

understand the pattern of movement &

hence help in further future

developments.It includes study of trip typologies

followed by the study of characteristics of

these typologies which includes mode of

travel & time of travel with some other

added attributes like income, sex

occupation, household status, driving

status & vehicle ownership. All these

leading to understanding the character ofmovement of people.

I have don this analysis based on the

survey done in the ward 12.
