Conclusion

Causes and effects of congestion along with various performance measures and with many other counter measures are discussed in detail considering the actual or technical definition of congestion. The congestion performance measures described are generalized measures. There are several other performance measures and indices. Advanced study on congestion can include improved measurement schemes and the combined travel demand modeling and route choice under congested conditions. With the implementation of all the counter measures traffic congestion, the most pronouncing problem of transportation may be reduced or controlled to certain extent. The principle and process of congestion pricing was also discussed with the help of certain graphs..
