Abstract/Summary
Estrada Street is used as a major access road to three major educational institutions, namely: De La Salle University (DLSU), De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde (CSB), and St. Scholastica's College Manila. Due to a lack of traffic enforcement and visible traffic signs, there is a great number of traffic violations which lead to traffic congestion along Estrada Street.
The Department of Science and Technology (DOST), in partnership with the Civil Engineering Department of DLSU, plans to implement a traffic discipline zone (TDZ) along Estrada Street. Within the TDZ, new traffic management schemes, such as the installation of CCTV cameras and painting of road markings, will be done in the effort to address the traffic congestion caused by violations in the study area.
The volume and violation counts were obtained from video footage collected from two cameras placed along the study area. From the video footage, the main cause of queueing was said to be the stopping of PUVs and jeepneys.
With this in mind, the group then used DYNAMEQ, a mesoscopic simulation modeling software, to model various scenarious of traffic management schemes and their effect on the flow of traffic along Estrada. From the simulations, the shared pedicab lane was the best option.
