Title:Estimation Of Headway Patterns On Urban Roads In Hyderabad City – A Case Study
Author Name:Nimbagal Abhinav, A.Ramesh and Kumar Molugaram 
Synopsis:
Heterogeneous traffic flow conditions in India are affected by various traffic characteristics such as driver behavior and prevailing conditions of road geometrics etc. In the present paper, an attempt is made to study the headway behavior of different vehicular composition in the traffic stream. The average speeds were calculated using headways of various vehicle combinations. Headways were determined in traffic stream by video image recording. The video was divided into image frames and analyzed for calculation of headways. To understand heterogeneity, statistical tests have been performed. Longitudinal gaps and vehicle to vehicle distance are measured in AutoCAD. Traffic violations in the study area are studied from available videographic data.
