Experimental Analysis and Recommendations For Traffic Congestion Approach in Haryana

Author Name : Puneet Sahni, Mr. V. K. Ahuja,

ABSTRACT: This experimental work attempts to identify short, medium and long term traffic congestion approaches and strategies for the State of Haryana using the National Policies and Survey Reports as a guideline. However, all existing and planned projects of Haryana have also been addressed. In these cases, thoughts that complement/ supplement the current thinking have also been listed. In the present work, five traffic congestion mitigation strategies have been examined ranging from expanding roadway capacity to using toll-ways, to determine which ones are most and least cost effective. Using quantitative regression analysis, interviews with transportation policy and decision makers, and criteria alternative matrix analysis, I ranked each traffic congestion mitigation strategy from least to most cost effective, based on three cost criteria.
