Abstract: The growth of motorization on highways in India has so far been of 2-wheeler and 3-wheeler variety, imposing negative impacts on both bus and car transport. It has also resulted in highly heterogeneous traffic conditions with varying static and dynamic characteristics of different types of vehicles. Since system is too complex and analyses needs microscopic simulation model. Stochastic models have better quality than deterministic and microscopic nature of traffic simulation delivers psycho-physical behavior of vehicular interaction. Present work signifies the applicability of VANET Traffic simulator VISSM. Therefore, present study makes the use of traffic simulation to understand the nature of mixed traffic by discrete, stochastic and time-step based analysis
