CONCLUSIONS
PEAK HOUR VOLUME IS HIGH AT SR NAGAR Jn & SR NAGAR ESI MID BLOCK DELAY AT SR NAGAR IS HIGH & LESS AT SRINAGAR SR NAGAR ESI HAVE HIGHEST CAPACITY AMEERPET MYTHRIVANAM HAVE LESS CAPACITY KUKATPALLY ERRAGADDA HAVE MORE DELAY ESI SR NAGAR HAVE LESS DELAY 4 BOTTLENECKS IDENTIFIED WITH 2 ON EITHER SIDE
