Speed-flow-density study of two different Indian roads and their comparisons

Abstract

In this work speed -flow-density study of an Indian road has been conducted. Data has been collected using video camera and later decoded in computer. This data is very essential to estimate capacity of an Indian road. Since the collected data is of a narrow density domain, capacity prediction from this data is not promising. One of the data is collected in Chennai and another data is from Rourkela .Both the data’s were compared statistically. For both the data’s Z-value is calculated and it is compared with Z-critical to define whether both the data’s are same or different.
