Platoon Size and Headway for Indian Traffic Condition: A New Approach

Abstract

A microscopic study has been carried out to investigate the relationship between platoon size and headway of vehicle under mixed traffic condition on different road sections of Delhi. Since size of the platoon mainly depends on headway and traffic densities, so the statistical model has been developed to under understand easily about the minimum number of required vehicles for platoon formation and end process. This study helps to understand the various problems associated with Indian traffic and find the solution for uninterrupted and smooth traffic flow.
