Transportation is the backbone for any country. Efficient transportation plays a wide role in economy of any developing country like India. Especially in CBD areas of cities are facing the problems of traffic congestion. It is very important to study about the CBD traffic for the future planning. A statistical and modern approach to solve various traffic flow parameters (types of vehicles, flows, density, speed, friction) has been described in this report. A statistical analysis of queuing has been conducted on traffic flow data on ward area in Vadodara.
