- Abstract
Traffic congestion is one of the most pressing challenges in urban transportation systems, especially in rapidly developing regions. This study focuses on traffic planning and management using Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies, with a case study conducted in the Majiwada area of Thane, Maharashtra. A comprehensive literature review of over 50 scholarly articles was undertaken to establish a foundation for the study. Majiwada was selected based on high vehicular density and its significance as a transportation node. A detailed traffic volume survey revealed that approximately 95% of the road capacity is currently in use, indicating a critically congested network. The peak hour factor was calculated to identify the most congested timeframes. QGIS software was employed to geospatially analyze and visualize traffic infrastructure. The base map was georeferenced, and various transportation features were digitized, including signal locations (point features), metro corridors (line features), road intersections (line features), and Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) boundaries (polygon features). Additionally, alternate bypass routes for heavy vehicles were identified, and route optimization for two-wheelers and four wheeler was performed using network analysis tools. The integration of GIS techniques in traffic planning demonstrates a powerful approach to mitigating congestion and improving overall traffic flow in urban environments.
