Measurement and Analysis of Noise at Signalised Intersections
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of the cities of developing countries are facing serious noise pollution problem, due to the concentration of motor vehicles and human population within the limited urban areas. The study presents the status of noise pollution at selected signalized intersections of Nashik city, Maharashtra, India. The study is conducted using sound level meter and simultaneously classified traffic volume data is collected manually. The study shows that, the noise levels at selected locations, exceeded permissible noise level prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board. The present study is useful for planning of road alignment, intersection, flyover, deciding signal timings, traffic management, land use planning and to control noise pollution.

متن کاملModification of Webster’s delay formula under non-lane based heterogeneous road traffic condition
Delay is one of the most important performance measures of signalised intersections. Various models including Webster’s classical delay formula have been developed in countries with car dominated traffic stream to estimate average delay per vehicle at signalised intersections. Webster’s classical delay formula has been formulated under UK situation where the road traffic condition is homogeneou...
متن کاملA Review of Gap-Acceptance Capacity Models
Gap-acceptance capacity models apply to the analysis of minor movements at two-way stop and give-way (yield) sign-controlled intersections, entry streams at roundabouts and opposed (permitted) turns at signalised intersections. The same modelling principles apply to all these cases with different model parameters representing the intersection geometry, control and driver behaviour at different ...

In this paper, different traffic light control structures over communication links, including the decentralised, quasi-decentralised, distributed and hierarchical networked structures, are considered. These structures used for coordinating multiple intersections, which could be a great application of networked control problem control for the signalised traffic light intersections that will help...
متن کاملImproving Pedestrian LOS at Traffic Signals
Christchurch City Council commissioned an investigation into ways of improving pedestrian level of service (LOS) at traffic signals in the central city. In 2009, Gehl Architects prepared a study entitled Public Space Public Life (2010) that considered how people use public spaces and streets in central Christchurch. This precedent study resulted in Christchurch City Council’s adoption of A City...
