Traffic congestion is caused due to an imbalance of transportation demand and supply.
Traffic congestion is not only responsible for harming our health but also for not gaining full
potential in our economic sector. Traffic congestion is an obstacle to the development of any
country as it creates a huge amount of economic costs, discomfort cost, and alike. In the current
scenario Indore city also prevails such a condition, some intersections of the city are badly affected
by traffic congestion which causes potential hazard and delays so traffic congestion study is much
needed at some potential road intersections. Several parameters like segmental delay, delay ratio,
and relative delay ratio have been used to effectively measure traffic congestion at some potential
sections taken for 6 locations. A model developed for segmental delay (Vehicle-second),
segmental delay (person-second), delay rate, and relative delay Rate.
