In recent decades, rapid urbanization has resulted in an increase in vehicle population, causing traffic congestion, longer travel times and lower average vehicle speeds. Intersections are important parts of the road network because they cause traffic congestion and higher speed fluctuations. To understand driving characteristics related to speed variation at the intersection, the driving cycle is an important concept used for many years. The study focuses on the analysis of driving cycle parameters for an urban intersection. The major driving parameters evaluated for demonstrating the speed characteristics of vehicles are acceleration, deceleration, idle and cruise states at the influence zone of the intersection. The result shows that more than 90% of the time is spent on acceleration and deceleration states, whereas approximately 5% of the time is spent on idle state depending upon the signal operation. To achieve microscopic speed analysis, an influence zone is created in VISSIM to mimic the exact traffic scenario.
