Abstract:- Udaipur is famous around the world as the City Of Lakes or the Venice of the East. The knowledge of traffic volume is an important basic input required for planning, analysis and operation of roadway systems. A significant effort has been made in order to study the Traffic Volume of Surajpole & Sevashram Road in Udaipur. The M.B. College Chauraha is an important road, connecting major institutional area with Sewashram. The stretch is flanked by institutional land use on one side and mixed land use on the other, combining a Gurudwara at Surajpole road, commercial and residential space. The area is highly trafficked therefore the cause much delay to the vehicles and travellers due to the passing of goods & passengers. Therefore the problem is quit critical. The problem of measuring volume of such heterogeneous traffic has been addressed by converting the different types of vehicles into equivalent passenger cars and expressing the volume in terms of Passenger Car Unit (PCU) per hour Keywords: PCU, Venice, 1. Introduction The traffic volume study is carried out to get following useful information: Magnitudes, classifications and the time and directional split of vehicular flows. Magnitude is represented by volume of traffic. Vehicles are classified into some predefined classes based on vehicle size and capacity. In a two-way road, vehicles moving towards two directions are counted separately to get the proportion. Time and directional split is useful to identify tidal flow. Proportions of vehicles in traffic stream. Proportion of vehicles indicates whether public or private transport dominates the traffic system. It also indicates the choice of road users. Hourly, daily, yearly and seasonal variation of vehicular flows. These variations are needed to establish expansion factors for future use. 2. Review of literature Main problem is the speed flow relationship. The vehicle all types produce different impedance which is varied to the static & dynamic characteristics. Hence by simply adding the vehicle does not give the accurate or authentic speed flow relationship. So, to come out from this situation passenger car is adopted as a standard vehicle and term is used a passenger car unit (PCU). Before finding out the traffic volume we have to traffic survey of particular given place the purpose of traffic survey is, traffic monitoring management, model calibration & traffic control, etc. 3. Needs of Study To find out the traffic volume at Surajpole & Sevashram Road in Udaipur. It is necessary to fulfil the following purpose: 1) The ultimate aim of travel 2) The future rate of growth of traffic is made possible. 3) To determine the traffic volume passing in and out to the given area. 4) Traffic monitoring and traffic control. 4. Objectives The main objective of the traffic study is as follow ďƒ˜
To find out the PCU values with various traffic volume on selected section on Surajpole & Sevashram Road in Udaipur.
