This project aimed to study the Gandhinagar Intersection design in Belgaum City, India, where the traffic is proliferating and causing congestion and safety issues for vehicle movement. The objective is to provide an alternate proposal to the inefficient intersection in Belgaum City that connects NH-48. This intersection caters to many vehicles, including commuters, commercial trucks, and public transportation. Over time, the existing intersection has experienced increasing congestion, leading to delays, reduced capacity, inefficient operation of the Intersection, and compromised safety for motorists and pedestrians. To address these challenges, an initiative for alternate proposals has been undertaken, focusing on geometric and traffic design elements. The alternative proposal aims to focus on improving the traffic flow, reducing congestion, and enhancing the safety of road users. To satisfy the above needs, a proper geometric design for smooth traffic movement needs to be planned. Based on the data analysis from the study, it is recommended to shift the existing pedestrian underpass to align it with the current crossroads for smooth vehicle and pedestrian movement. Also, it is recommended to provide a service road on the RHS of NH-48, with the required gradient, up to the Airport Road underpass to provide connectivity with NH-48.

摘要

This project aimed to study the Gandhinagar Intersection design in Belgaum City, India, where the traffic is proliferating and causing congestion and safety issues for vehicle movement. The objective is to provide an alternate proposal to the inefficient intersection in Belgaum City that connects NH-48. This intersection caters to many vehicles, including commuters, commercial trucks, and public transportation. Over time, the existing intersection has experienced increasing congestion, leading to delays, reduced capacity, inefficient operation of the Intersection, and compromised safety for motorists and pedestrians. To address these challenges, an initiative for alternate proposals has been undertaken, focusing on geometric and traffic design elements. The alternative proposal aims to focus on improving the traffic flow, reducing congestion, and enhancing the safety of road users. To satisfy the above needs, a proper geometric design for smooth traffic movement needs to be planned. Based on the data analysis from the study, it is recommended to shift the existing pedestrian underpass to align it with the current crossroads for smooth vehicle and pedestrian movement. Also, it is recommended to provide a service road on the RHS of NH-48, with the required gradient, up to the Airport Road underpass to provide connectivity with NH-48.
