One of the measures to achieve sustainability in urban transportation is to encourage bus transit by assigning priority to it through provision of exclusive bus lanes. The subject matter of this book is about formulating an appropriate methodology to study and quantify the possible impact of provision of exclusive bus lane under heterogeneous traffic conditions. The impact of introduction of exclusive bus lane is measured in terms of increase in speed of bus due to provision of exclusive lane and change (reduction) in speed of other categories of motor vehicles, due to the consequent...

Information on traffic volume is an important basic input required for planning, design, operation and management of roadway systems. Expressing traffic volume as number of vehicles passing a given section of road per unit time will be inappropriate when several types of vehicles with widely varying static and dynamic characteristics are present in the road traffic. The problem of measuring volume of such heterogeneous traffic has been addressed by converting the different types of vehicles into equivalent passenger cars and expressing the volume as Passenger Car Unit (PCU) per hour.
