UPV undertakes surveys on traffic situation in Iloilo City
A traffic information survey is now going on in Iloilo City aimed to identify management problems and acquire traffic data for traffic control simulation.
The survey is part of the project called "Multi-Stakeholder Transport Planning and Traffic Management Improvement in Metro Iloilo-Guimaras."
The inter-agency undertaking hopes to solve traffic problems and provide temporary employment opportunities to residents of Iloilo.
A communication from the Information and Publication Office of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas (UPV) cited that the survey is composed of three phases to include surveys on intersection volume and in public terminals; origin-destination, traffic speed, traffic jam and cordon and pedestrian survey.
The survey was sub-contracted by the project consultant Katahira and Engineers International (KEI).
Meanwhile, the UPV is seeking the support of the community and their understanding for the inconveniences the surveys may cause them. (PNA)
