摘要：	The "Highway Capacity Manual" (HCM, 1985) has defined level of service mostly for developed countries which have a predominant contribution of motorized vehicles. There are much fewer models to simulate the urban heterogeneous traffic flow having a significant proportion of non-motorized vehicles. These types of flows are mostly observed in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. The flow of heterogeneous traffic on urban roads is highly complex and the existing analytical models cannot be used to predict the flow behavior on urban corridors. A traffic simulation model, which can replicate the movement of heterogeneous traffic, has been developed to analyze the various environments of the road system. Traffic studies have been conducted on different roads of Kanpur metropolis. These studies include parameter estimation of different sub-models of the simulation system and traffic and driver behavior modeling. After development of the traffic simulation model, the model has been successfully calibrated and validated for the urban heterogeneous traffic flow conditions on the Kanpur roads. The simulation model has been further applied for experiments under different road, traffic, and operating conditions. Analysis of the simulation results is used to estimate the level of service under different operating conditions. The level of service criteria developed in this study may also help to identify the deficiencies of an urban road system and to plan for alternative improvements to attain a desired level of service.
