EVALUATION OF PASSENGER CAR UNIT

Abstract

PCU are used to this quote describes almost everything about the importance of transportation, Is carrying
civilization to a brighter future. The road traffic system, travel patterns and other traffic characteristic are different for each
various type of roads in India due to difference in geometric patterns, Amount of funds available for the development of road and
so on. Simultaneously many relocations and factors used in one stretch may not be suited for another stretch therefore an issue
comes up to determine the different traffic engineering parameters which are appropriate to local transportation system
characteristics . One such idea is to determine the PCU. find out the elects of varying mixed vehicle type on traffic stream , the
traffic volume study data is prime for analysis of network planning, designing of road system. Highway in India is different from
other road of the country. Traffic on India road consists of a mix characteristic type of vehicles. There vehicles in the highway
have different static and dynamic characteristic.
