  • MMARAS Annual Report 2006
    MMARAS Metro Manila Accident Reporting and Analysis System Annual Report January to December 2006 Produced by the Road Safety Unit (RSU) Traffic Operations Center (TOC) Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) 1 Introduction The Metro Manila Accident Reporting and Analysis System (MMARAS) is operated by the Road Safety Unit (RSU) of the MMDA-Traffic Operations Center (TOC), with the cooperation and assistance of the Traffic Enforcement Group under National Capital Regional Police Office (TEG-NCRPO) Philippine National Police (PNP). The objective is to compile and maintain an ongoing database of „Fatal‟ and „Non Fatal‟ including the „Damage to Property‟ road accidents, which can indicate areas where safety improvements need to be made. The system will also allow the impact of improvement measures to be monitored. This report is intended to be an annual analysis of „Fatal‟, “Non Fatal‟ and „Damage to Property‟ road accidents that have been recorded by the PNP Traffic Accident Investigators for the year 2006. The information is presented in graphical and tabular form, which provides a readily identifiable pattern of accident locations and causation patterns. Annual comparisons of traffic accident statistics are also included in this report. The Road Safety Unit currently has 9 data researchers who gather traffic accident data from different traffic offices and stations of the Traffic Enforcement Group (TEG-NCRPO) within Metro Manila. Previously, only those incidences involving Fatal and Non Fatal are gathered and encoded at the MMARAS database. But for the year 2005 up to present, we included the Damage to Property incidence so that we can see the significance and the real picture of what really is happening in our roads and also it gives us additional information in analyzing the causes of accident.

  • A Study on Travel Time and Delay Survey and Traffic Data Analysis and Visualization Methodology
    Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.8, 2011 A Study on Travel Time and Delay Survey and Traffic Data Analysis and Visualization Methodology Reigna Jewel Ritz M. MACABABBAD Jose Regin F. REGIDOR Graduate Student Associate Professor Institute of Civil Engineering, Institute of Civil Engineering University of the Philippines College of Engineering Diliman, Quezon City University of the Philippines 1101 Philippines Diliman, Quezon City E-mail: [email protected] 1101 Philippines E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Travel time and delay studies are used to evaluate traffic conditions, determine levels of service and to plan for improvements. Transportation planners and engineers of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) still employ the manual or stop watch method using a test car in obtaining travel time and delay data. Thus, it is necessary to develop and demonstrate an efficient method using tools for assessment of road traffic conditions. This paper presents a Geographical Positioning System or GPS based travel time and delay survey and data analysis methodology. It presents the development and application of a methodological framework and also data analysis and presentation through the use of digital maps. The use of GPS in this research provides fundamental inputs towards the development of a probe car system for use in travel time and delay studies in the Philippine cities. Key Words: GPS, travel time, delay, methodology 1. INTRODUCTION Travel time, a fundamental measure in transportation, is the total elapsed time necessary for a vehicle to travel from one point to another over a specified route under existing traffic conditions.

  • Spatial Characterization of Black Carbon Mass Concentration in the Atmosphere of a Southeast Asian Megacity: an Air Quality Case Study for Metro Manila, Philippines

Such is the case in megacities of developing and emerging countries in Southeast Asia, in which rapid urbanization, vehicles of obsolete technology, outdated air quality legislations, and crumbling infrastructure lead to poor air quality. However, since measurements of BC are generally not mandatory, its spatial and temporal characteristics, especially in developing megacities, are poorly understood. To raise awareness on the urgency of monitoring and mitigating the air quality crises in megacities, we present the results of the first intensive characterization experiment in Metro Manila, Philippines, focusing on the spatial and diurnal variability of equivalent BC (eBC).

  • 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.
