Abstract - India is a developing country proper traffic volume study need to proper planning, design and maintaining roadway and intersection facilities. Traffic volume studies are conducted for the counting number of vehicles passing through particular section line in the selected location. Data were obtained from selected section at Delhi gate circle by video graphic survey and collected data were analyzed by different graphs. The Udaipur city is located in Rajasthan state of India. As per provisional reports of census India, population of Udaipur in 2011 is 4, 51,000 of which male and female are 2, 33,959 and 2, 17,141 respectively. Key Words: Traffic Volume, PCU-(Passenger car unit), Mixed traffic flow, Average daily traffic, Equivalent passenger cars (EPC).
region. Traffic volume survey at signalize intersection select at Delhi gate circle which located between Surajpol and Chetak circle. The study location chosen for the present study satisfy the following criteria:•Mixed traffic flow •Continuous traffic flow •Sufficient space for video recording of the pedestrian flow
1. INTRODUCTION Traffic engineering is the branch of engineering deals with planning, design and operation of transportation system the most important requirement is volume expressing the volume in terms of PCU (passenger car unit). Traffic volume is the number of vehicle passing a given section of road or traffic lane per unit time. The number of vehicles in a day will change from time to time. Heterogeneous traffic volume convert the different types of vehicles into equivalent passenger cars (EPC) and volume expressed in terms of (PCU) - Passenger car unit per hour. Intersection counts are taken for determine vehicle classifications, through movements, and turning movements at signalized intersections. These data are used mainly in determining cycle times and phase lengths for signalized intersections.
V.T Hamizh Arasan and Krishnamurthy (2008) provided an insight into the complexity of the vehicular interaction in heterogeneous traffic. The PCU estimates, made through microscopic of simulation, for the different types of vehicles of heterogeneous traffic, for a wide range traffic volume and roadway conditions indicate that the PCU value of a vehicle significantly changes with change in traffic volume and width of roadway.
4. METHODOLOGY:
Traffic volume are conducted to determine the number of vehicles and there movement according to class of vehicles at a selected locations. Two methods are used for conduction traffic volume count. a)Manual b) Video graphic survey method (a) Manual:
3. STUDY LOCATION Data collection has been carried out in Udaipur city of Rajasthan. It is also known as city of lakes. The study area for this research work in Udaipur city is governed by Municipal Corporation which comes under Udaipur metropolitan |

Manual counts are used when automated equipment is not available. Interval used for manual counting is 5, 10 & 15 minutes. This method is rarely used.
