| Abstract | Traffic congestion has become one of the most complicated issues in Bangladesh that is increasing in an alarming rate. Khulna, one of the largest cities of Bangladesh, is facing challenges due to the congestion. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of physical feature on traffic congestion under mixed traffic condition. To carry out the study a specific segment of Khulna-Jessore Highway (Rupsa to Shantidham) was taken as study route. A survey was conducted to assess the condition of physical features. Traffic volume was determined by manual method of volume survey with tally sheet. Finally, the volume of different mode of transport are converted in passenger car unit (PCU). Different indices (Lindley's Congestion Index and Capacity Adequacy Index) were used to measure the congestion rate at different segment of the study route showing a relation between the volumes of vehicles at design hour with the capacity of the road. A comparison among three intersection point on the study route was done to identify the most congested segment. And finally, Rupsa was found as the most congested area due to the poor condition of its physical features with narrow road width and lack of control system. |
