TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE AND DRIVING PATTERNS ON HIGHWAYS

Abstract

ABSTRACT This project involves a detailed study of traffic performance and driving patterns on highways, Minna as a case study. During this study, various methods were taken. This includes moving with motorcycles and cars on main route of Minna to enable me to get the existing details. It also enables me to study the behavior of drivers and their pattern of driving on this route. The congestion of traffic and accident on highways has increased considerably due to the driving pattern of drivers. Influence of driving pattern on highways is a tool to identify potential risk on our highways and manage it accordingly with proper rules and regulations on driver's behaviours and speed limit. Possible solutions were mentioned and recommended which can be used to improve road user's behaviours as to know the appropriate driving pattern on the highways. ix
