Analysis and Design of Rotary Intersection at Yanam

Abstract

This project involves Analysis and design of Rotary Intersection at Yanam for smooth flow of traffic and also to avoid conflicts at the intersection. In recent years, the intense growth of vehicles has caused heavier traffic congestions on the roads and intersections, which are even worse during the peak traffic time. An intersection which is not proper designed as per IRC guidelines, will increase the travel time of the vehicles cause delays and also cause more traffic accidents or conflicts. Traffic volume is incrementing at an alarming rate, so it becomes extremely difficult for traffic police to control the traffic manually at the intersections. For proper management of traffic stream at the Yanam intersection and to reduce the accidents at the crossing, there seems to be an urgent need to design a rotary intersection at the junction.
