Abstract

India has the second largest road network in the world with a stretch of more than 5.5 million km. These roads carry a huge volume of traffic, more than 40% of the total traffic is carried by national highway having length less than 2% of total road length in India. Thus the national highways contribute to carrying a great proportion of traffic density. With the great significance of national highways, existing checkpoints in Indian road like toll plaza, intersection, cause a halt in the vehicular movement. Further, the ever increases traffic volume causes delay in journey time and hence result in extra fuel consumption
