ABSTRACT

Road transportation being very important network system for any country. Facing manifold problems due to increase in population and so vehicle expansion. As the vehicular growth in urban area is fact so the facility to transportation should be adequate for road users but there is limitation to expansion further road due to less availability of extra land. In that kind of condition the traffic management can be done by reversible traffic lane. The study involves of an implementation of reversible lane as a method by which traffic flow carrying capacity is increased and traffic jam density is decreased. For that various type of data are needed which are as: Traffic volume, Delay time, Accidents survey, Spot speed study, Traffic conflicts, Fuel consumption & Environment factor too are needed to study about it. Reversible roadways most commonly are used for accommodating the directionally imbalanced traffic associated with daily commuter periods. Reversible lanes also have been used regularly in construction work zones, during major events and, more recently, for the evacuation of major metropolitan regions threatened by hurricanes. The history of reversible lane systems (RLS) dates back more than 75 years and includes applications on all roadway classifications, from local city streets to freeways. By applying the reversible traffic flow lanes resulted in a significant saving in travel time in the peak-hour time period. Easy traffic flow is maintained and due to that the traffic congestion is reduce. By reducing the congestion vehicle user going to get smooth traffic flow hence the fuel cost and environment can be save. The city is facing problems of traffic, Parking and Pedestrians” safety on certain stretches of roads scope of the study includes the literature review and applying the tidal flow technique to overcome this situation.
