I am a Ph.D student of Transportation Geography at University of Lagos,
Nigeria. My proposed thesis title is COMMUTERS PERCEPTION OF ROAD
TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN
METROPOLITAN LAGOS,NIGERIA. My primary aim is to show the need for
consideration of human perception/understanding as well as coping
strategies in traffic congestion, with a view to recommending a
planning solution to this problem from human being perspective; and not
only from technical point of view which has been the statusquo up till
this moment. Thus I intend modelling this problem by considering
these variables: The CITY POPULATION TREND;CAR/VEHICLE OWNERSHIP
TREND;TRAVEL DEMAND TREND/LAND USE EXPANSION;COMMUTERS ASSESSMENT OF
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
REGULATION AND ENFORCEMENT. I want to argue, base on the result of my
questionaire analysis that if this variable should continue to grow, the
way they are now in the study area, definitely congestion will
persist,also the health and economic implication will aggravate in the
nearest future. I will be grateful, if you can send me useful modelling
materials/website. I shall be very grateful to hear from you.
Best regards,
JOSHUA ODELEYE.
