APPLICATION OF QUEUEING THEORY TO SIGNALS SYSTEM AT TWO BUSY CROSS SECTIONS OF CITY HYDERABAD: A SIMULATION APPROACH

Abstract

This paper attempts to analysis a traffic system and adjustment of signal timings at Thund Sarak, Hyderabad and then it suggest a signal timing at another cross section of rond (next to it) situated at National Highway and Wadhoo Wah rond intersection near Rani Bagh. A program in GPSS is developed in order to simulate a queuing system depicting signal timings during rush hours, Each simulation run is essentially an experiment on the system. The advantage of simulation in that these experiments can be completely controlled and completely observed. Effective signal timings are suggested to reduce queue length (traffic congestion).
