| description abstract | A unified methodology has been proposed for the quantification of congestion, incorporating the volume and operational characteristics of traffic movement. The level of congestion has been modeled to relate to the causal influences of traffic movement. Modeling congestion has provided a quantitative basis for understanding the contribution of different vehicle types in overall congestion, and it is useful for evolving the policy for congestion mitigation. Quantified congestion level has been used as a logical and improved measure of effectiveness to account for the conceptual definition of level of service in a quantitative manner. Based on the congestion level, 10 levels of service have been proposed, with 9 in a stable flow zone (presently designated as | |
