Abstract

Traffic simulation models have been widely used to evaluate design alternatives and to help decision-makers to select best design option for prevailing traffic conditions. This study focuses on application of microsimulation model to the performance assessment of Tight Urban Diamond Interchange (TUDI) located in a congested urban setting with population more than 9 million and current transport demand up to 13.5 million daily motorized trips. Geometric and operational data was collected by conducting multiple site visits. Traffic volume data showed the heterogeneous nature of traffic. Microsimulation model; VISSIM was applied and appropriateness of this model and the proposed methodology was assessed based on maximum queue length as Measure of Effectiveness (MOE).
