Abstract

Road Traffic is raising with very rapid rate, therefore the traffic amount and volume on the road is very high. The current road network is essential to improve to contain the future traffic and to provide the excellent riding quality. INDORE - KHANDWA road is proposed to be revamped from 2-lane to 4-lane (state highway 27) starting from INDORE (Bhawarkuan) and terminates at KHANDWA being its 135 km. This road passes through IIT INDORE (Simrol campus) a leading institute of technology and connecting two districts Indore and Khandwa. The total length of the road used for widening is up to 21km length. The Traffic volume survey was conducted on this road. The investigation of traffic volume data was done by projection up to 15 years. The necessity for widening of road from two lanes to four lanes is necessary as per the capacity of road. Based on the data collection toll fixation rates should be adopted for the improvement of the road in future. A method was adopted (Cost-Benefit ratio method) which concludes that the road is cost-effectively feasible for the proposed up gradation and improvements.
