N-5 Traffic Analysis and Travel Time Savings

The document summarizes traffic analysis for two road stretches. For the first stretch, the hourly travel time profile is presented, showing travel times ranging from 4.1 to 9.9 minutes depending on the hour. For the second stretch, the capacity increased from 19,000 vehicles/hour to 19,000 vehicles/hour due to adding lanes. The travel time savings were estimated to be 3.9 minutes in the morning peak, with an annual vehicle travel time savings of Rs. 14.09 million.

Problem 1:

Solution:

Length of N-5 stretch = 4 miles

AADT (in 2005) = 160,500

Lanes = 8

Capacity = 1750 veh/hr/ln

Conversion factor (AADT to AWDT) = 1.12

TRAVEL TIME SAVINGS:

 Travel Time saving for morning peak from = Travel Time (2005) – Travel Time (2010)
8.00am – 9.00am

= 8.4min – 4.5min = 3.9min

Travel Time saving for morning peak from 8.00am – 9.00am = 0.065 hr

 Travel Time saving value in 2010 = Travel Time saving value in 2005 x CPI (2010)
CPI (2005)

Travel Time saving value in 2010 = Rs. 14.5 x 190.85 / 160.40

= Rs. 17.3 /person/hr

(Considering 20% traffic flowing in morning peak hour 8 to 9 am)

 Total Benefits for Travel Time savings = 0.2*160500*1.07*17.3*0.065


= Rs. 38,623 /day

 Total Benefits for Travel Time savings/year = Rs. 38,623 *365

 (Annual Vehicle Travel Time saving) = Rs. 14.09 million
