Abstract

This project investigates traffic congestion within North Campus, Delhi University (DU), using continuous time simulations implemented in UXSim to model vehicle movement and interaction. The study focuses on several key intersections, identifies recurring congestion points, and evaluates the effectiveness of conventional traffic management measures. Implementing signal timing optimization and modest intersection reconfiguration resulted in measurable improvements in simulated traffic flow. The results provide practical insights for local traffic management and illustrate the value of continuous time simulation methods for informing short-term interventions and longer-term planning.
