This document contains information about Ravindra Yadav, a first year mechanical engineering student. It discusses traffic engineering, factors affecting traffic such as road users, vehicles, roadways and environment. It covers traffic characteristics, studies, operation, planning, design, management and administration. Specific topics discussed include road user characteristics, vehicular characteristics, density, capacity, time headway and space headway. The document also discusses traffic regulation through devices like licenses, vehicle registration, transport authorities, speed limits and control devices. It describes different types of traffic signs used for regulation, warning and providing information.
Road and traffic control
- 2. NAME – RAVINDRA YADAV BRANCH - MECHANICAL-A SEM. – 1 ROLL NO. – 32 ENROLLMENT NO. - 140860119123 ACADAMIC YEAR – 2014-2015
- 3. INTRODUCTION TRAFFIC ENGINEERING:- The branch of engineering which deals with planning and geometric design of street ,highways abutting lands and operation traffic system to achieve safe ,economical, convinient & efficient movement of person and goods….
- 4. FACTORS AFFECTING TRAFFIC : 1} The RoadUser 2} The vehicle 3} The Roadway 4} The Environment
- 5. Drivers of various types of vehicles and pedestrians are known as road user. Vehicles are classified as: 1. Motorised 2. Non Motorised The Roadways type , riding quality, maintenance , surface , texure ,light reflection , friction , drainage etc are inflencing the traffic. The environment considered for temperature , heat , cold, fog, mist, rainfall etc
- 6. o Traffic charaterstics o Traffic studies and analysis o Traffic Operation – control and regulation o Planning and analysis o Geometric design o Management and Administration
- 7. 1 Roaduser Characteristics 2 Vehicular Characterstics
- 10. Density is the number of vehicles occupying a unit length of lane roadway at a given instant . Traffic Capacity is the ability of a roadway to accomodate traffics volume. The Time interval between the passenger of successive vehicles moving in the same lane and measured from head as they pass on the road is known as time headway. The traffic distance between successive vehicles moving on the same line measured from head at any instance is known as space headway.
- 11. TRAFFIC OPERATION Traffic regulation should cover all aspects of control of vehicles, drivers ,pedestrians, flow accidents etc . 1 Traffic Regulation 2 Traffic control devices
- 12. TRAFFIC REGULATION o Issue driving licenses- by checking age and conducting test drive. oRegistration of vehicles oTransfer of ownership oDistinction between private and public vehicles. oTransport Authorities. oSpeed Limit oLimit Of Weight oParking and halting Places oInsurance Fees oPunishment of violations and offences oProvision of Control devices
- 14. TRAFFIC SIGNS A. REGULATORY SIGNS Regulatory or mandatory signs are Ments to inform the road user of certain laws, regulations and prohibition. o Stop and Give way o Prohibitory o No Parking o Speed Limits o Restriction End Signs o Compulsory Direction And Signs
- 16. B) Warning Signs: Warning or cautionary sings are used to warn the road user of certain hazardous condition that exist on adjacent to the road way. C) Information Signs: These sign are use to guide the road user along rules , inform them destination and provide with information to make travel easier, safe and pleasant.
- 17. TRAFFIC SIGNS Traffic signals are control devices which could alternately direct the traffic to stop and proceed at intersection using red and green traffic light signals automatically
