Abstract

"The area of transportation planning deals with transportation facilities (usually streets, roads, walkways, bike lanes, and public transit lines)." It is vital to assess the present state of traffic volume and anticipate the future state of traffic volume in this field traffic volume survey. The purpose of traffic volume studies is to determine the number, movement, and categories of highway vehicles in a given region. An attempt was made to grasp traffic patterns throughout various time periods using data collection. The characteristics of the traffic flow at that crossroads also have an impact on traffic control. As a consequence, the study's findings are valuable in controlling traffic at the intersection and giving some corrective measures to improve traffic safety in the region. Based on the findings, corrective actions such as road widening or enhanced public transit may be recommended.
