Need for an Integrated Modelling Approach for Mixed Traffic Flow Phenomena
Abstract: Traffic flow modelling can be in general categorised into three broad categories.Macroscopic models are generally based on aggregate level of traffic flow; whereasmicroscopic tools are more disaggregated and dynamic in nature. Benefiting from thesteadily increasing availability of affordable computing power, these more detailedmodels have become the tool of choice for operational studies, commonly in the form ofmicroscopic simulators. Among other dynamic models, mesoscopic ones are acompromise between the macro and …

Headway Compression during Queue Discharge at Signalized Intersections under Mixed Traffic Condition
Abstract: The evaluation of capacity at signalized intersection is an important component in the planning, design, operation and management of transportation system. Presently, the methodologies available for the estimation of capacity of signalized intersections are based on the concept of saturation flow(s). Saturation flow is the steady maximum queue discharge rate after the green onset. According to the U.S. Highway Capacity Manual, this steady maximum rate is generally achieved after the …

Computer Programming Tool for the Design of Concrete Mixes for Pavement Quality Concrete Roads in India
Abstract: Basically concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregates and water. These constituents bonds together and hardens with time and give strength to structure. The proportioning of concrete mixes consists of determining relative quantities of materials to be used. Thus to calculate proportions of various components of concrete several mix calculations are required to be performed. Consequently, it is not possible to select at once the exact mix proportion required …
