Abstract:- Signalized junctions are critical places in any road network system, where saturation traffic and latency are significant metrics for evaluating signalised intersections, which also impacts signal timing design. To predict vehicle delay at signalised junctions, several approaches have been utilised. There have been very few studies to assess delay at signalised crossings with mixed traffic. The current study's goal is to create a model for delay in mixed traffic situations. The current research will focus on three four-legged signalised junctions in Calicut. Saturation flow is calculated in PCU/hr by dividing the number of vehicles during the saturation green phase by the length of the saturated green time. Both licence plate and object matching approaches are used to predict delay. In the current work, a non-linear model is created to estimate the delay. The link between delay and several factors is established, and it is discovered that delay grows exponentially with flow, logarithmically with degree of saturation, and linearly with proportion of heavy vehicles.
