In the recent past years Ratnagiri city has observed rapid increase in the traffic intensity and it has emerged as one of the major challenges. Traffic congestion is a severe problem which results not only in driver fatigue but also vehicular emissions, noise and pollutants into the environment. Controlling the situation of congestion in Ratnagiri is of vital importance. In this paper, we have applied DMAIC based methodology for improving traffic issues. The proposed methodology comprises of three steps. In Step 1, we conducted a survey study to collect traffic congestion data in the Ratnagiri. In 2nd step we applied DMAIC methodology to analyse the survey data collected from Step 1. Descriptive statistics, Pareto analysis, Cause–Effect Diagram, Factor Analysis, and Control Charts (Individual and Multivariate) are used to analyse the survey data. In the 3rd step, we have generated recommendations for reducing traffic congestion and enhancing transportation service quality in Ratnagiri based on results of Steps 1 and 2.
