This research paper is about the micro simulation modelling of an over saturated congested urban corridor in PTV Vissim in Indian heterogeneous traffic conditions. Most of the developing nations currently face the challenge of excessive traffic congestions, and competing vehicles on their poor capacity, ill planned urban road network. The streets having dense population development around them, have worse traffic conditions, as the multiple access points to street, create a road block for the through moving vehicles. The capacity of nearly all roads is exhausted and the travel time requirements for short distances also is getting huge. This paper, tries to evaluate and understand a similar urban corridor in the city of Bangalore and gauges the situation with help of micro simulation tool of PTV Vissim. A scenario analysis is also attempted herewith to understand the effect of increase in road width and signal free corridor on the travel time.
