Abstract:
Transportation network has share of 1551714 PKR million in GDP of Pakistan
for fiscal year 2017. Traffic contributes about 13.27% in GDP of Pakistan for
2017 whereas fuel consumed by traffic is 35% of total energy resources. WHO
2017 has ranked Rawalpindi 2nd most air polluted city of Pakistan and
according to a world bank report over 2 million population of Rawalpindi
inhales contaminated air regularly.
Present effort aims to identify traffic congestion problems of Rawalpindi
Saddar(GPO-Kacheri),coordinating the signals using pre-timed protected
phasing(ITS).Longer delays at intersection and slow traffic speed on links are
damaging the environment of Rawalpindi.
Suggestions include suitable economic efficient solution for relieving traffic
congestion and to reduce travel time, fuel consumption and environmental costs.
