Despite the physical barriers that can hamper overall transport development in the country, the Philippines has found ways to create and integrate an extensive transportation system that connects the over 7,000 islands that surround the archipelago, and it has shown that through the Filipinos' ingenuity and creativity, they have created several transport forms that are unique to the country.

The robustness of a road network against such attack is crucial to be studied because it may cripple its connectivity by simply shutting down these hubs. We show the important hubs in a road network based on network structure and propose a model for robustness analysis. By identifying important hubs in a road network, possible preparation schemes may be done earlier to mitigate random terrorist attacks, including defense reinforcement and transportation security. A case study of the Metro Manila road network is also presented. The case study shows that the most important hubs in the Metro Manila road network are near airports, piers, major highways and expressways. Keywords: PageRank, Terrorist Attack, Robustness 1.

  • Battling Congestion in Manila: the Edsa Problem
    Transport and Communications Bulletin for Asia and the Pacific No. 82, 2013 BATTLING CONGESTION IN MANILA: THE EDSA PROBLEM Yves Boquet ABSTRACT The urban density of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is one the highest of the world and the rate of motorization far exceeds the street capacity to handle traffic. The setting of the city between Manila Bay to the West and Laguna de Bay to the South limits the opportunities to spread traffic from the south on many axes of circulation. Built in the 1940’s, the circumferential highway EDSA, named after historian Epifanio de los Santos, seems permanently clogged by traffic, even if the newer C-5 beltway tries to provide some relief. Among the causes of EDSA perennial difficulties, one of the major factors is the concentration of major shopping malls and business districts alongside its course. A second major problem is the high number of bus terminals, particularly in the Cubao area, which provide interregional service from the capital area but add to the volume of traffic. While authorities have banned jeepneys and trisikel from using most of EDSA, this has meant that there is a concentration of these vehicles on side streets, blocking the smooth exit of cars. The current paper explores some of the policy options which may be considered to tackle congestion on EDSA . INTRODUCTION Manila1 is one of the Asian megacities suffering from the many ills of excessive street traffic. In the last three decades, these cities have experienced an extraordinary increase in the number of vehicles plying their streets, while at the same time they have sprawled into adjacent areas forming vast megalopolises, with their skyline pushed upwards with the construction of many high-rises.

  • NORTH LUZON, PHILIPPINES Case Study (Transportation)
    NORTH LUZON, PHILIPPINES Case Study (Transportation) Project Summary: The Republic of the Philippines is an archipelagic nation in Southeast Asia comprised of 7,107 islands. The Philippines is home to over 91 million people, living on approximately 300,000 square kilometers. About half the population lives on the island of Luzon, where the capital, Manila, is located. Congestion in and around the capital is an area of concern for the Philippine government. The North Luzon Expressway is the main transport corridor from the Manila metropolitan area to central and north Luzon; there is no viable alternative for travelers. Built between 1975 and 1977 by the Department of Public Works and Highways, the expressway operated as a toll road. Originally, the expressway was franchised to a private company; however, this was later taken over by the government and renamed the Philippine National Construction Corporation PNCC). Under PNCC’s management, the expressway was not adequately maintained. In addition, growing traffic volume meant that the expressway’s capacity could no longer meet commuter needs. By the mid-1990s, about 160,000 vehicles traveled on the expressway each day, but with narrow lanes and heavy traffic, congestion became a major problem. The expressway also experienced a large number of avoidable accidents and deaths over the years. In the early 1990s, the Philippine government passed legislation that promoted and regulated the use of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in repairing existing infrastructure and building new projects. The Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Law of 1993 (as amended in 1994) provided the opportunity to utilize a BOT-type approach to modernizing the North Luzon Expressway.

  • Current Bus Service Operating Characteristics Along EDSA, Metro
    “Transportation for A Better Life: Towards Better ASEAN Connectivity and Safety” August 22, 2014 Bangkok Thailand Current Bus Service Operating Characteristics Along EDSA, Metro Manila, Philippines Paper Identification number: AYRF14-043 Krister Ian Daniel ROQUEL1, Alexis FILLONE2 1Graduate Student, Civil Engineering Department De La Salle University - Manila Telephone: (02) 524 4611, Fax: (02) 521 9094 E-mail: [email protected] 2Associate Professor, Civil Engineering Department De La Salle University - Manila Telephone: (02) 524 4611, Fax: (02) 521 9094 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) has been the focal point of many transportation studies over the past decade, aiming towards the improvement of traffic conditions across Metro Manila. Countless researches have tested, suggested and reviewed proposed improvements on the traffic condition. This paper focuses on investigating the overall effects of the operational and administrative changes in the study area over the past couple of years, from the introduction of the Mass Rail Transit (MRT) in the year 2000 to the present (2014), to the service operating characteristics of buses plying the EDSA route. It was found that there are no significant changes in the average travel and running speeds for buses running Southbound, while there is a noticeable improvement for those going Northbound. As for passenger-kilometers carried, only minor changes were found. The journey time composition percentages did not show significant changes over the two time frames as well. For the factors contributing to passenger-related time, the presence of air-conditioning and the direction of travel were found to contribute as well, aside from the number of embarking and/or disembarking passengers and number of standing passengers.
