Σύνοψη

The objective of this project was to perform a general study on traffic engineering and traffic analysis. From the theoretical point of view, a research was performed on the road traffic problems in urban areas (part I) and methods of traffic analysis were stated (Part II). The main problems analysed were those of congestion delay, capacity, levelof-service, parking, accidents and pollution. Some general solutions of those problems were also stated. As far it concerns the traffic analysis, different methods of traffic surveys and cencuses were explained. The methods of studies, were those that concern the problems mentioned before and are mainly applicable in built-up areas.
On the practical part (part III), an assigned case, that of the intersection at the traffic lights of Gavrielides had to be studied. At that particular intersection, at almost all the times of the day there is congestion. On top, there are a considerable number of accidents, which are mainly causing only damages. The purpose was to analyze the intersection and present possible corrective measures based on drawings, statistics, experience and study at the place of the intersection. The drawings were obtained from the Publics Works Department and the statistics from the Police Headquarters.
