Heavy vehicle thus influence other traffic in different behavior than other smaller dimension vehicles, which causes different levels of traffic instability. Increasing number and quantity of heavy vehicles in the traffic stream day to day may results in quite different traffic flow characteristics. This paper researches how heavy vehicle affect different traffic parameter in congested heterogeneous traffic conditions. This research specially focuses on the presence of heavy vehicle in general traffic and their interaction with other vehicles. Several factors that are consideration as determinants of this result were considered in this research. This research paper describes the existence of heavy vehicles in the traffic stream affects number of factors such as traffic parameter (Speed, travel time), capacity, lane changing maneoeure and congestion …show more content…
OBJECTIVES AND STUDY SCOPE
The objective of current research is to investigate the effects of heavy vehicles on traffic flow during peak hour. The impact of heavy vehicle on different traffic parameter (i.e. speed, travel time),effect of heavy vehicles on capacity of lane and the influence of heavy vehicle on lane- changing decisions of passenger cars. This investigation is mainly concerned with urban highway segments where the presence of heavy vehicles at peak hour typically has serious impacts on traffic maneuvers. Some factors that are thought of as important determinants of this effect are investigated in this study.
