Mehdipatnam, the study area, is a major suburb in Hyderabad. It has an APSRTC bus depot, making it a hub of many buses bound to all parts of the city. This has contributed to increase in levels of congestion on roads and junctions. There could be two approaches to solve this problem. First and the most obvious solution is to come up with infrastructure involving wider roads, flyovers, bypasses and expressways. But for developing countries like India, money and space are serious concerns. Second approach is to manage existing traffic, with the use of technology and by involving commuters in the process which is traffic management. Different traffic management measures have been implemented to solve these problems. A model has been developed using micro simulation software VISSIM and the deficiencies of the network have been found. The calibrated model was evaluated with the proposed traffic management measures and their effectiveness was quantified. The proposed measures are reorganization of bus terminal, banning of u turn, junction improvements and signalization of intersections. The problematic area was the bus terminal at Mehdipatnam which was found to be most benefited by the proposed measures. Separate evaluation has been done for accessing the performance of public transit. The reduced travel times, queue lengths and delays show that the proposed measures are effective. The number of stops encountered by vehicles and the stopped delay caused was also quantified. Other traffic management measures like rerouting and signal coordination have also been suggested for further improvement of the study area.","claims":[{"public_id":"cl_577591d95888b316f2d2467828e0dcb7","status":"active","text":"A VISSIM microscopic simulation model was developed for the Mehdipatnam traffic network and used to
