Traffic Operational Analysis of Continuous Flow Urban Interchange Using Micro Simulation Modeling Technique : A Case Study of Dat Daruni School , Chachoengsao

Abstract

At present, the problem about the traffic jam at the intersection is one of the most important that need to be solve immediately, by applying the new combination of the Continuous Flow Intersection (CFI) with Single-Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) and it is also called as Continuous Flow Urban Intersection (CFUI). This technique is very effective in solving the problem of traffic jam and it is even better than building only Single-Point Urban Interchange. This research is for resolve and improving the traffic at the intersection near the Dat Daruni school because in that area is a Single-Point Urban Interchange and now there is a problem about the traffic jam in the urgent time. So they will renovate to combine between Continuous Flow Intersection(CFI) and Single - Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) and this technique call Continuous Flow Urban Intersection (CFUI) to compare the traffic before and after renovating at the intersection of queue, delay ,speed and travel time by using micro - simulation (VISSIM). This design is does not only reduce the problem of the traffic jam but also reduce the conflict at the main intersection. The result of study show that, applying this system can adjust the problem of traffic jam at the intersection and increase the efficiency of the intersection in the future.
