GIS-Based Traffic Prediction and Traffic Management of Ganga Expressway, Uttar Pradesh, India

Authors(2) :-Sangam Dwivedi, Prof. A.K. Singh

“Ganga Expressway Project” is an important project for Uttar Pradesh. This project will provide direct connectivity from Meerut to Prayagraj. Traffic prediction is the study the of numbers and types of vehicles that will use this expressway in the future. It is essential to know traffic load up to design period planning and design of an expressway. It also helps to maintain the level of service, estimate funds required in the present and future, and also the management of pavement health. In this paper, to establish the traffic growth rate up to 2060, the registration vehicles data and moving vehicles data were collected from the “Annual Report for the year 2021-22 of Uttar Pradesh Transport Department. The Ganga Expressway influences major districts of Uttar Pradesh. So, it is assumed that the growth rate of vehicles in Uttar Pradesh is similar to the proposed expressway. The traffic growth rate is calculated based on past data trends according to IRC 108 1996, and the elastic model is based on Per- Capita Income, NGDP, and Population of Uttar Pradesh as per IRC 108 2015. With the fluctuation of the developing economy, the Traffic Growth Estimation compared with nearby expressways and growth cars car, LCV and truck increased by 2%. After finding out the traffic growth rate, traffic is predicted and the required number of lanes is calculated for traffic management.
