    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTSince it is compulsory that people and goods move from one part of the country to the other or within particular defined regional area, the facilities used for this purpose need to be well planned, designed and constructed. Inadequate and unplanned traffic control constitute a lot of problems resulting in delay, congestion, immobility to uneasy access to transport etc. This project is to determine the headway and average travel speed of vehicles (Case study of post office- Kwara State Polytechnic permanent site car park road). In order to determine the time taken, distance, speed of a ... Continue Reading

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER ONE 1.0    INTRODUCTIONThe determination of headway and average travel speed on a road network cannot be over emphasized as concerns the transportation. Headway and average travel speed are among the imperative parameters to be mentioned in the consideration of traffic flow. The efficient evaluation of headway and average travel speed is important for their contribution to the effectiveness of road network functionality therefore adequate management practices are needed.Headway is a measurement of the minimum possible distance or time between vehicles in a transit system. It is comm ... Continue Reading

It is usually express in seconds or second per vehicle delay information is recorded when the traffic flow is stopped or greatly impeded. The duration of traffic is measured units of time long with notation of the corresponding location, ... Continue Reading

      CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVECONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION5.1    CONCLUSION In the analysis of the result, having considered the Headway and Average time taken for vehicle to cover the distance of post office to Kwara state polytechnic permanent site road. It can be infer that the headway between different commercial vehicles traversing the road is steady due to the time interval of parking analyzed in the table. When there is high influx of people e.g students, the headway between two vehicles tends to be minimal as they move just after each other and so also the speed of travel because when cars move at i ...
