Optimizing and Predicting Traffic Flow on Mantagbac Bridge: A Microscopic Simulation Approach

This research attempts to solve the problem of traffic congestion at Bridge 3 Daet, Camarines Norte due to the constantly expanding percent of vehicles and poor traffic control. In proposing the development of a microscopic simulation model with VISSIM, the study seeks to simulate convergence and interaction between vehicles and infrastructure to detect traffic congestion, design efficient signalization periods, and design empirical algorithms for traffic flow. Possible impact of this study include; enhanced traffic flow knowledge, transport solutions and advisories on optimal management of traffic congestion. The combination of the qualitative surveys and the quantitative analysis of VISSIM simulation results offers a clear picture of the present day traffic problems and the remedial measures.
