Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze a traffic management measure for Kasetsart University during “Kaset fair”. Due to a large number of officials, students and people driving within university, traffic congestion is a problem especially at the vicinity of the university gates. This study used CORSIM simulation software. The model was constructed and calibrated using traffic volume and delay. We analyzed the alternatives for improvement. It was found that no parking along all the main streets in the university can improve average speed of 10% and decrease delay of 6%. The results provided the guidance to the university on the traffic condition and the traffic measures affected.
