From the analysis of traffic volume study, estimated Average Daily Traffic (ADT) and Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) traffic composition was obtained. It shows the estimated percentage of traffic over a week from 2nd September 2023 to 8th September 2023 are represented in the following pie chart. Vehicle composition of Cars, jeep are 86.09%, Buses are 4.31%, Trucks are 9.60%
The following graph represent Peek hour traffic based on hourly variation it obtained from the above mentioned data for Peek hour traffic. It is observed that during the time period of 10am – 11am there is maximum movement of vehicle.
From traffic forecasting using linear regression method, estimated Annual Average Daily traffic (AADT) of car for the present year 2023 is 23697 with the estimated GDP of 77000 crores and estimated traffic for the year 2035 is 54580 with GDP of 92600 crores. With the approximate traffic growth rate of 6.7% over the year similarly for the buses and trucks the approximate traffic growth rate is 6.7% over the year of 2023 to 2035.
The estimated Value of time (VOT) for Bengaluru – Mysuru expressway (NH-275), for car is obtained per hour of travel time saved was estimated at 186 rupees/hour, for bus it is 673 rupees/hour, for mini bus it is 297 rupees/hour, for Light commercial vehicle (LCV) it is 301 rupees/hour and for truck it is 789 rupees/hour.
The Vehicle Operating cost (VOC) for Bengaluru – Mysuru expressway (NH-275), depends on fuel consumption cost, tires usage cost, engine oil cost, maintenance cost and depreciation cost was estimated, VOC of all vehicle are presented as follows
