“Traffic Congestion Triangle” Based on More than One-Month Real Traffic Big Data Analysis in India

摘要

This research describes new traffic congestion analysis method “Traffic Congestion Triangle” based on more than one month real traffic big data analysis in India. The location of the research is one of typical economical growing cities Ahmedabad in Gujarat state of India. The traffic congestion becomes more serious issues in most developing countries and the congestion causes so called negative impact of environment destruction, un-necessity fuel consumption, health problem, economical loss and fatality by traffic accidents. Therefore there are lots of challenges for transportation under many projects focused on “smart city” development. The traffic analysis and theory have been developed after 1950s and it has helped many countries. However there are still lot of unknown condition in traffic analysis of developing countries. This research started from 2015 and it enables to get real traffic flow data. This manuscript is described not only the typical traffic flow characteristics such as daily traffic volume but also introduces unique traffic congestion characteristics by using “occupancy” which has triangle shape characteristics as traffic congestion daily trend.
