abstract="The study is intended to investigate the effect of traffic composition and the use of a paved emergency lane on capacity. Ahmedabad-Vadodara four-lane divided intercity expressway (Mahatma Gandhi expressway, designated as NE-1) which has an emergency lane on either side is taken as a case study. For modeling traffic flow on expressway, a microscopic simulation technique is employed in this study. The simulation model was developed, calibrated, and validated for rendering as well as replicating the real traffic conditions. <br><br>RESULTS of the study show that the capacity is greatly influenced by emergency lanes and traffic composition. The result of the present study is expected to highlight the ongoing national-level efforts of developing guidelines for Indo-Highway Capacity Manual.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
