Abstract:

Urbanization coupled with industrial and commercial boom has brought many challenges giving rise to heterogeneous traffic flow. Heavy vehicles result in congestion and speed drop with an ultimate increase in travel time and fuel wastage. The characterization of congestion is of vital importance to understand and manage heterogeneous traffic flow operations. To gauge the effect of bottlenecks compared with heavy vehicles on the speed and travel time of vehicles, a study has been undertaken. The different traffic scenarios were considered to answer the research question. Results showed that bottlenecks and heavy vehicles affect the average speed and travel time of the vehicles

Keywords:
