Defining Level of Service Criteria of Urban Streets Using Neural Gas Clustering

Abstract: The traffic flow condition in India is highly heterogeneous. This study aims at defining the Level of Service (LOS) categories for highly heterogeneous traffic condition for urban streets in Indian context. Global Positioning System (GPS) is used as a powerful tool for collecting speed data at every one second interval. For this study Free Flow Speed (FFS) data and average travel speed data are collected on five corridors of Mumbai city. These speed data are analyzed using neural gas clustering method. The opt… Show more

“…The study also suggested that selection of an appropriate method of PCU estimation can significantly improve the accuracy of delay calculations. (Das et al, 2013) conducted a st udy for defining LOS categories for highly heterogeneous traffic condition for urban streets using Neural Gas clustering technique and confirmed that the free f low speed ranges for different urban street classes and speed ranges for different LOS categories were found to be lower than that suggested by (HCM, 2010).…”

“…Defining LOS criteria is a classification problem, and from the literature it was determined that cluster analysis is the most suitable technique for solving this kind of problem (Bhuyan and Rao 2010, Mohapatra et al 2012, Das andBhuyan 2014). Fuzzy C-Means clustering (FCM), developed by Dunn in 1973 and improved by Bezdek in 1981, is a cluster analysis method derived from fuzzy logic (Bezdek et al 1984) that allows a dataset to be grouped into C clusters, with every data point in the dataset belonging to every cluster to a certain degree, which makes the cluster result of FCM closer to reality (Bezdek et al 1984).…”

“…Bhuyan and Rao (2010), Mohapatra et al (2012), Das and Bhuyan (2014) addressed LOS criteria for highly heterogeneous traffic flow on urban streets in India using a clustering algorithm and found that speed thresholds for LOS criteria in India are lower than those mentioned in HCM. Historically, HCM has used a single performance measure as the basis for defining LOS.…”
