| Popis: | Urban roads in India operate under mixed traffic conditions. They are subjected to side friction factors such as slow-moving vehicles, interference of buses, pedestrian traffic, trading activities, frequent side roads, vehicles parked along the carriage way, entry and exit through approach road. But the side friction factors are not considered while designing roads as per IRC guidelines. Hence, the present work aims to determine the effect of side friction parameters on speed reduction. A road side friction index (RSFI) has been developed to quantify side frictions. Percentage speed reduction (PSR) from free flow speed was analysed to study impact of road side friction on speed. Level of service (LOS) is determined from the data collected. {"references":["Munawar, A. (2011). Speed and capacity for urban roads, Indonesian experience.
