SIMULATION OF PEDESTRIAN AT INTERSECTION IN URBAN CONGESTED AREA

At present, with limitation of land space lots of dense urban area facing pressure and problem related to traffic congestion. Vehicles and pedestrian are the prime road occupant in traffic. Walking is a sustainable mode of travel, and most journeys involve a walking component, whether the main portion of the trip is made by foot, car, or using public transport. People always tend to solve problem related to vehicular traffic, so there is need to simulate pedestrian also. For a proper simulation of urban traffic scenarios, besides cars other road users, namely pedestrians, have to be modeled. We will investigate to what extent it is possible to capture traffic effects imposed by simulated pedestrians by providing Skywalk and then perform without simulations that is real situation. As a developing State, mixed flow of the Ahmedabad urban road traffic is most obvious characteristic at pedestrian crossing where conflicts between the pedestrians and motor vehicle occur frequently. In the pedestrian crossing, pedestrians coming from both sides and the motor vehicles coming from different direction may have conflicts, so delay or accidents occur sometimes. Conflicts between the pedestrians and vehicles have negative effect on the traffic efficiency of the urban road network and the service level of the traffic. This work presents a real scenario at Intersection for pedestrian without indulging Pedestrians movement in the main traffic by using computer application (i.e.-VISSIM software), comparing the real field data with the simulated one. Therefore no delay will occur t
