Abstract

The urban transport system is a heterogeneous system and is in serious trouble. Traffic congestion has become a major socio-economic problem in both urban and rural areas. Traffic congestion is managed through signage, interchanges, and road widening. Traffic analysis remains a difficult task, especially in countries like India where the number of vehicles is constantly increasing and the roads are increasingly busy, because it is difficult to generate alternatives. Traffic simulation systems such as PTV VISSIM are tools dedicated to the analysis of traffic problems. VISSIM is a simulation software that is widely used to create simulations in dynamic traffic situations before evaluating traffic conditions and creating a realistic plan. Dynamic simulation of traffic flow using VISSIM and appropriate techniques to reduce traffic congestion. The main objective is to examine the study area and prepare a sample for it to find out the root causes of the traffic problem and give the necessary suggestions to solve the problem.
