Abstract

The urban traffic congestion has become a global phenomenon. Rapid urbanization
and industrialization have caused drastically growth of vehicles all over the world but problem like
congestion, delay, energy consumption, environmental pollution, etc. still remain in question if
traffic signals are not coordinated. For coordination actual travel time prediction is necessary
between two signalized intersections. Generally, Space Mean Speed (SMS) observed by sampling
survey in the mid -block section. The total travel time on that link is calculated based on this SMS.
In reality, actual travel time is somewhat more or different than the travel time calculated by SMS
So, it is interesting to determine the relation between travel time by SMS and actual travel time taken
by vehicles to cross the link.
