In countries like India we generally can find a mixed traffic i.e. a traffic flow consisting of all types of vehicles like cycle, rickshaw, car, bus etc. In Indian cities the share of non motorized vehicles at peak hours is too high. In every public transport, mode of transport involves access trips by non motorised vehicles at each end. Non-motorised vehicles provide door to door service in congested parts of cities. Thus, non-motorized mode of traffic plays a very important role in meeting travel demand in countries like India. To design a traffic facility it is necessary to understand the behaviour of the traffic stream. Understanding the behaviour of a traffic stream with mixed traffic is quite complex. In this work an attempt has been made to study the effect of non-motorized vehicles on mixed traffic movement. Traffic volume data was collected from Majri Crossing and Zirakpur-Patiala Crossing for 30 minutes. This data was then analysed with the help of fundamental diagrams. It was seen that with an increase in the percentage of non-motorised vehicles the flow, density and speed are adversely affected. Density decreases at a particular flow rate when the percentage of non- motorised vehicles increases. It was seen that with increased non-motorised vehicles adversely affects the capacity of the road. Along with this, a study on the pattern of vehicular occupancy of non motorised vehicles and motorised vehicles was done.
