 ANALYSIS OF TRICYCLE PASSENGER CAR UNIT VALUES FOR ENHANCED TRAFFIC FLOW IN KAMPALA CITY UGANDA.
REFNo: SIR629ES

i. To determine static Passenger Car Unit (PCU) values for passenger and cargo tricycles at selected Kampala intersections, targeting a precision of ±0.1 PCU. ii. To compare the derived tricycle PCU values against local values for motorcycles (boda-bodas) and passenger cars to quantify their relative impact on saturation flow. iii. To model the influence of dynamic factors specifically congestion level (V/C ratio), time of day, and wet/dry pavement conditions on tricycle PCU estimates.
