This study investigates the optimization of platoon size to enhance traffic flow efficiency on signalized road networks in Chandigarh. The research addresses the critical role of vehicle platoons, which are bunches of vehicles traveling together between intersections. The core problem arises when platoons are too large to clear the intersection within the given green light phase or clear too early, leading to delays. This occurs because traffic volume can fluctuate due to connections with other arterial roads. The proposed solution is to maximize platoon size for given intersections to allow more vehicles to pass per signal cycle, thereby reducing congestion and improving road safety for both vehicles and pedestrians.

The study focuses on a specific, technical aspect of traffic management: platoon size optimization. The methodology likely involves data collection from Chandigarh's V2 roads and the application of engineering principles to model traffic flow. The expected outcome is a set of recommendations for traffic authorities aimed at improving efficiency and reducing congestion. The research appears to be a practical application of transportation engineering concepts to address urban traffic challenges.
