An unsignalised intersection is the confluence of two major paths or a major path along with a minor path without any traffic signals or signboards. This study emphasizes to propose the Passenger Car Unit (PCU) Model for the weak lane discipline that occurs under mixed traffic conditions in the capital city of the Indian state of Jharkhand. PCU estimation is vital for signal design, traffic capacity analysis and other applicable scenarios too. To carry out the proposed study, different stretches of unsingnalised intersection are identified either on National Highways or in major suburbs of a city. The data were collected through a videography technique using High- Definition Camera. The data collected were of the peak hours of traffic flow mainly during morning and evening time. The sites were selected considering the importance of intersections where traffic flow is extreme, and it needs to be analyzed for swift movement of vehicles. The model was developed by interpreting and analyzing the collected data in which PCU is estimated on the basis of effective area, speed of the vehicle and lagging headway. The estimated PCU values are compared with the existing Indo-HCM recommended values that are currently being used.
