Travel time is important in traffic flow in order to estimate the time durations required to move from one point to other point. People traveling are interested in knowing how long it will take them to reach their destinations, particularly under congested conditions. This study effort mainly deals with the causes of delay within the study area. There are many techniques to conduct this study in order to gained the travel time and delay data. Hence, in this study the travel time and delay are measured in industrial area along Shah Alam road networks in order to identify the causes of delay along the route. There are 6 sections which involved along the industrial area road networks which are Section 16, Section 21, Section 22, Section 23, Section 26 and Section 27. Therefore, it is believed that the majority factors of delay are caused by the traffic signal, congestion at roundabout, bus passenger loading or unloading and vehicle turn left or turn right.
