The document presents a traffic volume analysis conducted by students for a specific roadway, focusing on defining traffic volume, density, and passenger car units (PCU). It includes an objective to calculate total PCU values for mixed traffic data and details of vehicle classifications along with their respective PCU values. The study examines various factors affecting traffic capacity and provides data on vehicle counts across different road segments.

2. Basic Terminology :-
Traffic
Volume
• It is defined as the no. of
vehicles moving in a
specified direction on a
given lane or roadway
that pass a given point or
cross-section during
specified unit of time.
• It is expressed as vehicles
per hour or vehicles per
day.

3. Traffic
Density
• It is defined as the no. of
vehicles occupying a unit
length of lane of roadway
at a given instant .
• It is expressed as vehicles
per Km.
• It is the product of traffic
volume and traffic speed.

4. OBJECTIVE:•To Calculate the total PCU valve for Mixed traffic Data
•To analysi the traffic volume using the PCU method

5. STUDY AREA
• Name of the roadBalewadi – MITCON Road
• Connecting Pune Banglore
National Highway.
• Two lane road

10. Passenger Car unit (PCU) :It is a common practice to consider the passenger
car as the standard vehicle unit to convert the
other vehicle classes and this unit is called
Passenger car unit or PCU.
Thus in mixed traffic flow, the traffic volume &
capacity are generally expressed as PCU per hour
or PCU/lane/hour & the traffic density as PCU per
kilometer length of lane.
