...Management Science Prof. Dennis Berino April 3, 2012 Case Study Southwestern University Traffic Problems Submitted by: Bullen, Nino Joseph Comandao, Isaac Donato, Anna Rica I. Background Southwestern University is experiencing an increased interest in its football program since it hired a big-name coach. As such, there have been increased sales in their season tickets. This increase in sales has also increased the traffic problem of the town which is also projected to get worst once the new stadium is build. To solve the problem, the Marty Starr the University’s president has asked the University Planning Committee to solve the problem. Based on the traffic projections that the University has made, it was concluded by Dr. Starr that the roads leading to the interstate highway from the stadium should have a sufficient capacity of 35,000 cars per hour. In order to solve the problem, the Planning Committee is looking at widening some of the current streets from the stadium to the interstate highway to increase its current capacity. II. Problem The main problem of the case is: How to maximize the traffic flow in order to accommodate 35,000 cars per hour from the stadium to the interstate highway? The sub-problems that needs to answered are: 1. What is the maximum number of cars that may actually travel from the stadium to the interstate per hour? Why is this number not equal to 33,000, as Dr. Lee suggested...

...is based on the most happening concern of Dhaka city- Traffic congestion. Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh is burdened with many different problems, namely housing problem, sanitation problem and problem related to water logging, etc. Yet, among many other problems, the city has been experiencing severe traffic-problem which is a common phenomenon in our daily life. Dhaka city situation is more alarming mainly due to vehicular movement and traffic jam. There are different types of vehicular namely, car, bus, jeep, truck, minibus, microbus, auto-rickshaw, tempo, mini-truck, motorcycles and innumerable numbers of rickshaws. There are many reasons behind traffic jam in Bangladesh. Among them some major factors are as follows: • Undisciplined traffic signal in the road. • Indiscipline among the road user. • Might is right, everybody are free to park their vehicle on Road. • No knowledge of traffic rules which encourage violating the rules. • Enforcement of rules by dishonest persons who are busy in collection of illegal money from traffic rules violators. • Heavy numbers of vehicle on roads. Time is the most valuable things in the twenty first centaury no doubt. And traffic jam is killing the most productive time of the people of Dhaka city. Time is going on and on and we are lagging behind. The world is becoming speedy where as we are becoming slower. To reduce traffic jam we can take steps such as: • Have a good public...

...8/9/2014 Prof. Karanja Week 10 Ch. 8 Ex. 5 An example of a good Six Sigma project would be discovering ways to improve traffic safety in my neighborhood. In the Ardwick-Ardmore district of Landover, Maryland, there are many problems with traffic patterns in the neighborhood. The main backbone, which is Ardwick-Ardmore Road is a constant strip of road with no deterrent traffic lights to delegate traffic flow. Turning onto this street from adjacent avenues can be risky due to the right of way that remains with participants traveling on Ardwick-Ardmore Road. By implementing a Six Sigma plan, traffic flow can be improved with changes in the grid plan. DEFINE: The problem at hand is the fact that the constant traffic flow on Ardwick-Ardmore Road can be dangerous to motorists traveling from adjacent roads. MEASURE: Data can be generated by using a survey for passing pedestrians based on their experiences on Ardwick-Ardmore road. Motorists can be selected at random to a timed trial of merging onto Ardwick-Ardmore road from their originated streets from which they traveled. Data results that include collisions, close-calls, and reckless driving will be accepted as valid entries. ANALYZE: Trends can be developed. There may be a possibility that traffic patterns increase during a specific timeframe, etc. IMPROVE: Implement new ideas to deter potential collisions and close-calls based off of the information collected. CONTROL: Continue to track the data input to validate assumptions...

...unlearn much of what he has learned in his own State and to learn a lot that is strange to him. This produces irritation – or worse - in the motor owner and motor driver, and tends to unnecessary costs of traffic administration (which the motorist usually has to pay for). It also adds to traffic dangers through ignorance or unfamiliarity with local conditions or practices on the part of drivers. Therefore, anything that can be done to lay down a national basis for motor traffic control must be of much practical value. Commonsense suggests that there should be uniformity instead of variety, and that the growing volume of interstate traffic requires a national instead of a local viewpoint in things common to traffic in all of the States. Were all motor vehicles kept within their own State boundaries, little disadvantage would arise from the present welter of confusing motor legislation, but when a system becomes national, a system (or lack of system) of arbitrarily fixed laws that differ substantially in matters in which there should be common agreement appears absurd, if not intolerable. I do not consider that it would be very difficult, once the groundwork had been prepared, to induce the various State Governments to agree to a national conference of traffic authorities and representatives of the recognised motoring organisations in the...

...consequences. Another reason for this issue is traffic congestion. It is obviously apparent that drivers stuck in crowded roads and annoying noises for hours will be easily crazy. Those causes will definitely result in negative effects to both individual and society. One of them is road accidents. There are numerous serious accidents caused by drivers or motorists when they are in pressure and tiredness. The second impact should be mentioned is the increasing of violence. When drivers make collision, they would handle problem by a hit instead of solving it by talking peacefully with each other. There are several actions that government should do to prevent road rage from becoming popular . Firsly, there is a really effective solution to handle this issue – enhancing road infrastructure which is one of the most important factor affect mainly congestion. For instance, if the road is too narrow, then street would be definitly stuck because of being oveload in the number of people and vehicles shifting in prime time…. Another effective solution make drivers stop being angry on the road that government should do is enacting new appropriate law to require citizen to obey. 1-Traffic congestion- Stop and go traffic is maddening and can cause a loss of patience. We can’t control the traffic, but we can control our reactions to it. 2- Aggressive driving- Cutting off other drivers, tail gating, unsafe lane changes and swerving in and out of traffic are signs of an...

...Analysis 1 – Road Rage Road Rage has become a widespread hazard on the nation’s congested, fast-paced roads, especially on highways. In fact, Road Rage is a serious national problem. Do you curse and honk your horn if a driver tries to cut you off, or slam on your brakes to annoy someone who’s tailgating? Aggressive driving, better known as “Road Rage”, occurs when furious motorists lose their temper over traffic disturbances. Almost every day you hear of another incident involving an aggressive driver. Speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, following too closely, yelling and gesturing are actions that characterize the aggressive driver. Psychologists believe that anger is the root of Road Rage. They describe four major traffic situations that trigger road rage: (1) feeling endangered, such as being cut off, (2) being closed in by other drivers who are going slow, (3) watching other drivers breaking the rules of the road and (4) feeling the need to retaliate. Also, if a driver gets in the vehicle already angry due to a prior incident, that anger can trigger even greater Road Rage responses. Angry drivers on the road merit great attention. Road Rage causes health problems. Driving under stress is a serious health risk. Does your blood boil when you’re cruising along the highway and some slowpoke is driving in the passing lane? With everyone over worked and having less free time, stress plays a key role. Most people do not have a lot of patience...

...ROAD SAFETY IN BANGLADESH Introduction: Deaths and injuries as a result of road traffic accidents are recognized as global health issue. It is estimated that road crashes kill 1.2 million people and injure 20-50 million annually (daily road tolls more than 3000 i.e. nearly 140 deaths per hour). Transport is an extremely important part of the Bangladesh economy. Some 12% of GDP and 20% of the annual development budget is spent on transport, and 9.4% of the national employment is in the transport industry. Bangladesh has about 0.7 million motorized vehicle and 1.5 million non-motorized vehicles. But in Bangladesh, road accident problem grew over time and has been regarded as a massive outbreak of a fatal disease. Road fatalities are said to be correlated with a number of factors – number of population and its increasing numbers, length of roads, weather conditions, and mechanical condition of vehicles, drivers’ consideration of traffic laws, commuter safety skills and more. Road Accidents – this epidemic is related to faults of the drivers and the pedestrians and then our road infrastructures, social commitments, mechanical faults of vehicles, behavioral factors and more. Current Situation: Total Reported Road Accidents: According to police statistics, Road accidents in Bangladesh claim, on average 4000 lives and injure another 5000 a year. In Current prices, road accident in Bangladesh is costing community at least Tk. 5,000 crore /US$ 850 million per...

...to work or even being stuck in traffic for the tremendous hours that you always spend in traffic cause by a car crash or a police officer pull over some car so everybody is just slowing down. There's been too many car crashes or people getting pull over and getting citations. If only people will actually wake up earlier they wouldn’t be in a hurry to work. (Why police officers or the county police Station haven’t got aggressive in giving out citations.) There's been a lot of Car Crashes in all the streets of each city and every day. That sometimes causes to people get late to their destination and people sometimes actually get frustrated behind the steering wheel without the traffic moving as fast as usual. What causes that is people start getting frustrated start cutting off people from another lane the other person gets mad, and now that car is probably going to try and cut off that same car that cut her off. It just gets worse and worse sometimes people are in one lane and they have to get off in one specifically and their on the last lane, and the people won’t let her pass so she can take that exit, even if you have your signal lights on, people will actually ignore you or even just throw you their vehicle. Of course to not hit that car you have to stay in that particular lane and try and try and get off the next exit. There not many ways how to solve the problem or even that lets keep it this way, there’s No way you can solve this problem. You can only lower the percentage...

...say that it is still not worthy. The administration is still lacking in terms of programs and actions. Pay once said that during his reign, there will be a “Wang-Wang” ban and road reconstructions for better and easier travel, but the MMDA office is still experiencing traffics, transportation problems and road failures. Employees get late for work, students wake up earlier to prevent the traffic, business produce low profit and a lot experience headache and frustration. The Aquino Administration is fighting corruption, they uphold programs and services for funds and other financial matters, but why is it that DepEd is having problems in finances for the teachers’ salary and for school renovations? There are low number of teachers, low number of school facilities, but high number of students. It is not balanced and proportional. These situations may lead to students’ lacking knowledge just like in the latest news saying that a lot of pupils are asking why Apolinario Mabini is sitting in the whole movie of “Heneral Luna” considering he is one of the country’s heroes. In terms of poverty matters, it is said that the rate from the start of his reign up until now lessen, but it is not transparent and is still a problem in the country. The President gave a percentage, but that percentage is a very small amount when compared to the number of beggars, misfortunates and all. The Aquino Administration once gave hope to many Filipino citizens in overcoming corruption, but a lot also lost...

...Bus and Life What are the common transportations nowadays? Obviously bus nowadays has become one of the most common means of transport. Commuters and students choose bus as they found many advantages of this transportation. Across all income levels, the average number of trips made by bus per year is sixty six. Also, one bus can reduce seventeen times pollution than cars if the users switch from private vehicles to public transport. But the increase in bus fares recently stops people from riding the bus around. Evidently the rise in bus fares doesn’t only put an impact on people, it also creates lots of difficulties to reduce traffic jams and global warming. Therefore, we should not increase the price of bus fares in order to save the benefits of all the people and protect the environment. First, the increase in bus fares has a disproportionate effect to all the people especially low income families. For instance, people with a low income make three times as many bus trips as others with a higher income. Definitely the increase in bus fares most likely to hit the poor people who cannot afford it. The commuters who are willing take the bus to work also get hit from this issue. Why do people have to take buses instead of driving their cars to work which likely costs them the same amount of money? Of course nobody wants to give up their time and money sitting on the bus, which costs them the same price of driving cars. Also, as well as meeting the...

...Small road capacity is the main cause of the traffic jam. When a volume of traffic or modal split generates demand for space greater than the available road capacity, traffic congestion occurs. So, too many vehicles, too old or narrow roads, and any other immature road infrastructure will lead to traffic jam. For example, in Sao Paulo City, Brazil, almost 1000 new cars are bought every day, while the capacity of public transport is quite limited: subway has only 38 miles of lines, and many roads are old and in bad condition. As a result, citizens spend 3 to 4 hours behind the wheel every day, making Sao Paulo the city with worst traffic jam in the world. Traffic accident is another problem leads to traffic jam. Some of them are caused by road works and weather events, but for most of the time, this situation attributes to lax traffic rules and people’s disregard of them. Though there are some problems leading to traffic jam, they can be solved by some actions. Solutions to small road capacity should be the improvement of road condition. More and wider roads, even underground railways and tunnels should be laid down to relieve traffic congestion. At the same time, better public transportation systems are also needed, including bus, MRT, LRT and many others. To reduce traffic accidents, stricter traffic laws and regulations should be issued. Governments should also raise the public awareness of traffic rules through education. Solutions like using stricter laws and regulations...

...laws governing transport and traffic policing. Our insatiable appetite for vehicles in this country, has led to an exponential increase in the number of road traffic accidents and incidents on our roads and streets. It is the increase of fatal accidents that is of great concern to us as citizens. Statistics have shown that, more than 95% of these accidents happened as a direct result of a road traffic offence. In order to curb this carnage on our roads, we need to effectively combat the occurrence of traffic offences. Statistics from the World Health Organization 2007 Report have shown the following:- ➢ Worldwide, about 1.2 million persons are killed in road traffic accidents every year ➢ 20 million to 50 million people are injured or disabled in these crashes ➢ Road traffic injuries account for 2.1% of global mortality and 23% of all deaths worldwide ➢ Road traffic injuries are predicted to rise from tenth place in 2002 to eight place in 2030 as a cause of death. Here in Trinidad and Tobago, over the last few years, with the ever increasing traffic volumes becoming a reality of life, traffic policing has become the scapegoat for the ill of every-day traffic congestion and mayhem on our roads. While traffic policing is a priority of traffic management, it is the severe breakdown of discipline on the roads which leads to unsafe conditions for motorists and pedestrians a like. Under the Motor Vehicle and Road Traffic Act, chapter 48:50, there...

...and students. There are many people to be found on Lark Lane that have lived there all their lives, that still go the same public house they went to forty years ago. The infrastructure to Lark Lane is very different to City Road. For instance the length of Lark Lane is approximately 500 metres in length; it is used throughout the day as a through road to the park as it links up one major road to another. Which like City Road does become very busy and congested this is especially so during the night time when people are visiting the restaurants and pubs. People Double Park along the lane which can make it difficult to drive along, it has no road markings or traffic signals this can be seen as having no real order. Again this is unlike City road as it is a ‘main road’ and is well managed and well controlled with traffic lights, bollards and road markings. Lark Lane there is a feeling of safety whilst walking along at night. We all need order to help things run smoothly as seen in (‘Ordered lives’ 2009 scene 5) bouncers play a key role whilst at night along Lark Lane...
