Background: Generally, Chennai is a hub of traffic congestion, where the major roads of the city are filled with vehicle. It gives the challenging situation to the road and traffic management officials to control and regulate the existing traffic with the existing facilities. Objectives: This paper deals with the microscopic simulation of existing road network model which helps in evaluating the performance of the Thirumangalam road intersection such as delay, queue length and also to evaluate and understand the pedestrian vehicle interaction at the intersection and to propose the improvements of signalized intersection in Thirumangalam at Chennai which is without basic facilities like pedestrian crossing time and it causes heavy congestion during peak hour which makes the management to operate the signals manually. Methods/Findings: PTV VISSIM software is used for evaluation and validation of the road network in order to choose the best alternative and optimization measures before implementation. This study helps to improve the existing junction by suggesting the improvement proposals by referring Indian road congress codes (IRC 106, 86, 103) and it also gives the new optimized signal design which is automated to regulate the traffic.
