 ABSTRACT

The City of Balanga is continuously undergoing in the process development.

Along with many investments and opportunities that attract many people in the city,

problems with regards to transportation was one of the effects experienced. Having the

traffic situation in the city, the researchers must provide information about the impact of

traffic volume on road congestion and possible measures that can be used in reducing

traffic. The study aims to analyze the traffic volume in Aguirre Street – Capitol Drive –

Kinatawan Road – Manahan Street – A. Banzon Street by studying the current traffic

situation of the roads and establishing possible solutions. Data collection was conducted

during the time when most of the classes in schools and universities were on break and

field surveys was done during 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm only. In this research manual

traffic counting on peak hours will be used and data will be solve using VCR then

possible solution will be made after gathering and comparing the results between the

resulting ratio. Policy interventions such as implementation of alternative routes for

tricycles, truck ban scheme and proposed parking area was then proposed. For future

studies, the researchers recommend the use of automatic counting machines for more

accurate data.

CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

Urbanization has been rapidly growing over the years and this have led the

economic condition to escalate quickly. Along with this is the development on various

aspect and sectors of urban life. As the society modernized, additional investments attract

people to migrate from one place to another causing over population to the area.

Morepeople mean more volume of vehicles, which is one of the reasons for the existing

of traffic.

City of Balanga is one of the most industrialized placesin Bataan. Rapidly

investment of government infrastructure in the city contributes in exchange, business,

administrations, lifelong learning, health and growing commercial center where it results

in productive operation in the economy,hospitals and school systems where it requires

people to work, go to school and have an errands at the same hour so they can interact

with each other. So, the need of commuters to travel between homes, establishment and

in 25 barangays in Balanga is the natural basis of life in the city. Therefore, the demand

for transportation services where it enables to trade between people increases.

Due to numerous private and public vehicle operating inside the city, traffic flow

has been affected. Roads in the city tend to be narrow and poorly built where it causes

traffic delays. Considering the behavior of the vehicles in an uncontrolled

roadway,volume of traffic expands and causes congestion. If this continues it will remain

a major problem in the future.

 Page |2

Traffic congestion mostly occurs in peak hour where it becomes an irritant to

many people because their personal schedules worsen. In addition, it contributes to

pollution and costs millions of pesos in wasted fuel, time and productivity. Although

capacity of vehicles on the road contribute to congestion, it is not possible to either

reduce the number of vehicles and to increase the amount of road space. Many

researchers focused on engineering-based solutions to minimize the congestion in the city

but it always returns to the previous level after some dry run. This research aims to

analyze the traffic congestion along Aguirre Street – Capitol Drive – KinatawanRoad –

Manahan Street – A. Banzon Street in Balanga City Bataan region 3.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Balanga City had been reinforcing economic growth where transformative

development is remarkable inbuilding infrastructures, commercial establishments and

lifelong learning hub. Leading us to further understand and learn how to solve pressing

problem like traffic congestion, wherein different roads in the city has been experiencing

delays, loss of fuel and productivity.

MAIN PROBLEM:

What is the current traffic situation of Aguirre Street – Capitol Drive –

KinatawanRoad – Manahan Street – A. Banzon Street in accordance to its traffic volume?

SPECIFIC PROBLEMS:

1.) What is the impact of traffic volume in road congestion?

2.) How does the road width affect the high traffic volume?
 Page |3

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY:

This research study can be beneficial to the following:

To the government that will conduct experimental schemes and enforce laws on

traffic management of the city, the research study can serve as a reference basis on

decision making with the help of the provided data and results to build a better

perspective of the actual situation in the roadway.

To the future researchers, this research study will provide knowledge and basis

in understanding in Analysis of Traffic Volume in Aguirre Street – Capitol Drive –

KinatawanRoad – Manahan Street – A. Banzon Street. The researchers can let relevant

information that can serve as reference to those who want to further understand the study

that may be related to the topic.

To the motorists of Balanga City, people who composing the community and

which apparently serve as the drivers, commuters and passengers and passers-by which

are directly affected by the current occurring in the development in the field of

transportation.

OBJECTIVES

The primary purpose of the study is to analyze the current traffic situation in

Aguirre Street – Capitol Drive – Kinatawan Road – Manahan Street – A. Banzon Street.

Specifically, the study aims to:

1.) Assess the traffic volume of the roads.

2.) Established possible routes and different traffic solutions that can help the drivers,

pedestrians, and other community members in their everyday travel routine.

 Page |4

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

This research study will only calculate the volume capacity ratio ofAguirre Street

– Capitol Drive – KinatawanRoad – Manahan Street – A. Banzon Street, not including

the VCR of the proposed alternative routes.

Due to the limited time, the study was conducted during off-peak season making

the subject in manual counting be reduced. Elementary, high school and other college

students aren’t present because of the summer break.

The study only focuses during peak hours relying to the time 7am-9am and 4pm-

6pm given by Mr. Florante Caguioaof Balanga City Public Safety Office.

The researchers did not consider the behavior of the motorists while conducting

the manual count.

The researchers assumed that the alternative routes are not congested.

In improving the road construction and road widening the power of Eminent

Domain is considered.

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter focuses on the presentation of the theoretical framework which the

researchers have constructed based on various studies of related literature they reviewed.

The theories presented will serve as a foundation in providing solutions to the problems

that they encounter.

According to the Joint Transport Research Centre of the Organization for

Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the European Conference of

Ministers of Transport (ECMT), “Cities and traffic have developed hand-in-hand since

the earliest large human settlements. The same forces that draw inhabitants to

congregate in large urban areas also lead to sometimes intolerable levels of traffic

congestion on urban streets and thoroughfares” (ECMT 2007:5). This captures the

relationships between urban cities and traffic congestion as well as the world-wide

dimension of the problem of traffic congestion in urban cities.

As demand approaches the capacity of a road (or of the intersections along the

road), extreme traffic congestion sets in. Traffic congestion can lead to drivers becoming

frustrated and engaging in road rage. Mathematically, congestion is usually looked at as

the number of vehicles that pass through a point in a window of time, or a flow.

According to Adebiyi (2011), the congestion is caused partly by road users themselves.

2.1 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1.1 TRAFFIC CONGESTION

Majority of the first-class cities and municipalities are highly populated and are

confronted with serious transport problems. This is the result of inevitable growth of
 Page |6

different road transport wherein there is a yearly increase in the number of registered

motor vehicles. And according to a study of traffic congestion in Accra Central Market in

Ghana, the main causes of the traffic congestion are behaviors of the traders and the

drivers as well as narrow roads in the area. Additionally, poor road design and

pedestrians are contributing factors of congestion. (Agyapong and Ojo, 2018)

2.1.2 TRAFFIC VOLUME STUDIES

Traffic volume studies are conducted to determine the number, movements, and

classifications of roadway vehicles at a given location. These data can help identify

critical flow time periods, determine the influence of large vehicles or pedestrians on

vehicular traffic flow. These studies help in deciding the geometric design features and

traffic control for safe and efficient traffic movements.

2.1.3 MANUAL COUNTING

It is essential to know the magnitude of traffic data required or to be collected,

which will then determine its quality and type of vehicle classification to be adopted.

Traffic counting falls in two main categories, namely; manual counts and automatic

counts. There is no distinct difference between the two methods however; the economic

use or selection of an appropriate method of traffic counting is a function of the level of

traffic flow and the required data quality.

The most common method of collecting traffic flow data is the manual method

which consists of assigning a person to record traffic as it passes. This method of data

collection can be expensive in terms of manpower, but it is nonetheless necessary in most

cases where vehicles are to be classified with a number of movements recorded

separately. The examples of traffic tally sheet they have used are as follows:
 Page |7

2.1.4 VEHICLE CLASSIFICATIONS

According to Department of Public Works and Highways as to Traffic Capacity

Standards, vehicles have to be recorded according to the basic vehicle types described

under the Passenger Car Equivalent Factor. To help with identification, a Vehicle

Classification Sheet is attached on (See Table 2.2)

2.1.5 PEAK HOUR VOLUME

According to the Trip Generation Manual published by the Institute of

Transportation Engineers, capacity and other traffic analyses focus on the peak hour of

traffic volume, because it represents the most critical period for operations and has the

highest capacity requirements. The peak hour volume, however, is not a constant value

from day to day or from season to season.

To find the peak hour volume, finding the volume count of traffic is required.

This can be estimated using two different methods such as manual counting and

automatic method.

 AM Peak Hour representing the morning peak period for traffic analysis between

7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. with the greatest sum of traffic volumes on a roadway

segment or passing through the area of a transportation improvement project.

 PM Peak Hour represents the afternoon peak period for traffic analysis between

4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. with the greatest sum of traffic volumes on a roadway

segment or passing through the area of a transportation improvement project.

2.1.6 VOLUME CAPACITY RATIO

In the Glossary of Terms by City of Goodyear, Arizona states volume capacity

ratio as a measure of the capacity of a roadway or intersection, in terms of the number of

vehicles passing through, divided by the number of vehicles that theoretically could pass

through when the roadway or intersection is operating at its designed capacity.

Abbreviated as VCR.

As to Traffic Capacity Standards from Department of Public Works and

Highways, one of the important parameters in the VCR is road capacity, which according
 P a g e | 10

to the Highway Capacity Manual, Highway Research Board, Washington D.C., 1965

(subsequent editions still use the essence of that generic definition), is defined as follows:

capacity is the maximum number of vehicles, which have a reasonable expectation of

passing over a given section of a lane or a roadway in one direction or in both directions

during one hour under prevailing road and traffic conditions

Traffic Volume

Volume = ΣPHV x PCE

Where:

 PHV = Peak Hour Volume

 PCE = Passenger Car Equivalent

Road Capacity

Capacity = BHC
Capacity Factor %

Where:

 BHC = Basic Hourly Capacity

 Capacity Factor % = 8%

Volume Capacity Ratio

VCR = Volume
Capacity

2.1.7 PASSENGER CAR EQUIVALENT FACTORS (PCEF)

The term “Passenger car equivalent” was first introduced in HCM 1965 to define

the effect of trucks and buses in the traffic stream. It was defined as “the number of

passenger cars displaced in the traffic flow by a truck or a bus, under the prevailing

roadway and traffic conditions”. Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 1950 used a single
 P a g e | 11

factor of 2.0 to account for the impact of heavy vehicles on multi-lane highways.

However, the most recent definition of PCE is in Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2000

and which is defined as “the number of passenger cars that are displaced by a single

heavy vehicle of a particular type under prevailing roadway, traffic and control

conditions” (Al-Kaisy et. al., 2005). Passenger Car Equivalents (PCEs) have important

used in freeway design and operations analysis.

 Tricycle (0.8)

 Motorcycle (0.5)

 Passenger Car/Van/AUV (1.0)

 Public Utility Jeepney (1.5)

 Public Utility Bus (2.2)

 Medium Truck (2.0)

 Large Truck (2.5)

2.2 REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES

2.2.1 REROUTING

This study evaluates the current situation and therefore no consideration is taken

to increased traffic flows in the future. Neither spontaneous rerouting is considered,

which means that the road users chose other routes by them self. It is assumed that

spontaneous rerouting is more common in cities where there are more alternative routes,

while this study is carried out where the rerouting alternatives are limited. Neither

decreased traffic low to the incident road due to traffic information has been considered.

The situation will stop in both directions at the same time is not included in this thesis
 P a g e | 12

since the only rerouting alternative for this scenario is to redirect the traffic to another

road.

Rerouting on other road is when the traffic is directed past the incident site on a

suitable road in the surrounding road network(Vickberg, 2011). The rerouting begins inan

intersection where the rerouting road connects to the main road and ends where the traffic

in a suitable intersection can return to the main road.

In uncomplicated traffic situations with a short rerouting route it is better to

reroute the traffic than letting it wait. The best rerouting alternative is generally to keep

one lane in each direction open while rerouting on another road is a good option if few

vehicles are trapped.

2.2.2 TRUCK BAN

According to the study on the impact and effectiveness of the truck ban scheme in

Metro Manila by Castro Kuse and Hyodo (2003), restriction of large trucks that is often

slow moving in road space is one of the alternative ways in reducing traffic congestion.

Apparently trucking companies have shifted to using small trucks not covered by the ban

resulting to increase of small freight vehicles thus worsening the congestion during peak

hours. The studies suggested that the truck ban must be designed to shift traffic out of the

congested peak periods to the less congested day time or night time of peak periods.

There isa presently truck ban introduced in Metro Manila, the peak hour truck ban

which prohibits trucks from using ten major thoroughfares along the city from 6am to

9am and 5pm to 9pm except Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays. Alternative routes are

also presented where the large truck can have short path and lessen their fuel
 P a g e | 13

consumption. Also, introducing traffic assignment on large trucks is the most favorable

way in improving the traffic environment.

2.2.3 PARKING CONTROL

A study team for Road Development Plan in Maputo City has implemented a plan

for urban traffic management in the City’s central business district. The role of this plan

is to show that future traffic congestion in the year 2020 will be dissolved drastically. The

plan will be basically continued until the year 2020.

Their basic policy for the On-street Parking often causes to reduce the traffic

capacity. On the other hand, the road space also meets for public and commercial parking

demand. Therefore, the adequate measure for car parks shall be established according to

the road use condition and demands. Basic policy of parking control in the CBD is as

follows:

• In the commercial area, roadside parking on trunk roads shall be allowed at the present.

However, it should be prohibited or charging in near future and shifted to the off-street

parking.

• In the industrial area, roadside parking for unloading will be free.

• In the residential area, roadside parking for residents will be allowed, expect on the

collector roads due to secure road width for public and emergency vehicles.

The following parking control shall be introduced due to secure traffic capacity.

These should be enforced priory on the trunk roads and collector roads.

Prohibition on the main Collector Roads. Due to secure the road width for public and

emergency vehicle traffic, roadside parking should be prohibited on the main collector

road. Accordingly, road marking and regulatory signs should be established.

 P a g e | 14

FIGURE 2.1
Improvement of Car Parks in Maputo City

Widening of Car Parks. To shorten blocking the carriageway by parking manoeuvre,

roadside parking strip should be widened around the commercial facilities where the

parking demand is much. Besides, regulatory signs and markings should also be

established as well as introduction of parking charge system by new private enterprises.

Elimination of On-street Parking. As for in the type of the parking facilities, the multi-

storied parking is recommended from the view point of the construction cost and land

acquisition through comparison with 3 plans of the underground, surface and multi-

storied parking. For the off-street parking facilities, the dilapidated buildings along the

trunk road are recommendable.

 P a g e | 15

These parking garages would function more effectively if higher parking fee is

charged on roadside parking nearby area.Considering existing substandard buildings and

future chronic shortage of parking spaces with auto parking infringing on road traffic and

pedestrian ways, it will be necessary new attachment of Parking Code to the Building

Codes for the preservation of individual properties, especially in the CBD. The size of the

parking spaces within each property should be carefully determined depending upon the

total space and the propose of each building.

2.3 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK`

In this phase, the researchers will conduct manual traffic counting on the focus

study in Balanga City along the road (Aguirre St.,Capitol Drive, Kinatawan Road, and

Manahan St. to A. Banzon St.) and then the data gathered will be analyzed and solved

using VCR. The output will be the assessed traffic volume of the areas in-consideration.

The factor is volume of traffic during peak hours which can be determined by counting

the vehicles passing through the road and the response is traffic congestion which can be

measure by leveling of traffic flow.

METHODOLOGY

The researchers carefully analyze the problem of this study and they come up

with the methodology where they can apply some of their learning in the university.

Steps in methodology are as follows.

3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN

The study aims to analyze the traffic volume capacity on Aguirre St. - Capitol

Drive - Kinatawan Road - Manahan St. - A. Banzon St.and help the local government

unit in improving the traffic situation in the area. The study will be based upon the

volume capacity ratio through the data of vehicular count accumulated from the standard

manual traffic counting conducted by the researchers. Through the use of traffic

standards from Department of Public Works and Highways, traffic volume has been

analyzed using factors of passenger car equivalent and basic hourly car capacity.

Table 3.2 : Basic Hourly Car Capacity

According to the Highway Capacity Manual 2000, Volume Capacity Ratio (VCR)

is a measure of the level of congestion on a road given the traffic volume and road

capacity. When the VCR reaches 1, this indicates that the road is operating at 100%

capacity.

3.2 DATA GATHERING

The researchers will gather traffic volume count through the use of manual traffic

counting in their assigned stations.The respective locations are:Aguirre St. –Capitol Drive

– Kinatawan Rd. – Manahan St – A. Banzon St. (See Figure 4.1)

The researchers manually count the number of vehicles considering its vehicular

classification such as Motorcycle, Motorized Tricycle, Four Wheels, Bus, and Trucks.

The manual counting was conducted for the duration of 7days, 4hours a day from 7 am to

9am and from 4pm to 6pm of April 23-29, 2019.

The evaluators write down the number of vehicles in their tally sheets under its

classification.
 P a g e | 19

In order to determine the road width of the area, the researchers conduct in-situ

survey of the road.

3.3 DATA ANALYSIS

The data gathered will then be analyzed and summarized to determine the current

traffic situation in the area. According to the traffic standards from Department of Public

Works and Highways, when calculating VCR, the first step is to determine the Passenger

Car Equivalent Factors (PCEF), which here are related to the basic vehicle types' PCEF

in the absence of quality data on such features as shoulder width, gradients and their

lengths, lateral obstructions along the roadway and roadside friction, all of which have a

constraining influence on basic capacity. The traffic volume by type multiplied by the

respective PCEF constitutes the passenger car units (PCU), which in this context are not

speed related.

PROCEDURE:

1. Determining the Traffic Volume

PROPOSED POLICY INTERVENTIONS

ALTERNATIVE ROUTES FOR TRICYCLE

SITUATION 1

For the tricycleswhich is the most contributor of traffic in the study area, alternate

routes are proposed to be constructed for them to be accessed and to lessen the traffic

volume in the area.

PROPOSED ROUTES: If the vehicle will access the proposed construction of

alternative routes going along sides of the study area, it will lessen the volume of vehicles

travelling on Aguirre Street – Capitol Drive – Kinatawan Road – Manahan Street – A.

Banzon Street.

As an example, vehicles coming from anywhere in Capitol compound will access

the proposed routes going to different points along A. Banzon St., then traffic volume

will be lessened in Manahan St. – Kinatawan Road and Capitol Drive – Aguirre St.

andvice versa.

PROPOSED ROAD CONSTRUCTION ANDROAD WIDENING

Note that the proposed road construction along Sampaguita St. is directed to

proposed road widening along Palmera St. The road along the Narra St. is also subjected

to proposal for road widening. (See figure 5.2)

TRUCK BAN

Trucks are banned everyday along Aguirre Street – Capitol Drive – Kinatawan

Road – Manahan Street – A. Banzon Street. Truck ban hours shall be from 7:00 AM-9:00

AM and 4:00 PM- 6:00 PM.

SITUATION 2

The researchers proposed alternative routes for different types of truck for them to

access their destinations even with truck banning during peak hours.

Entrance of trucks coming from Roman Expressway going to their respective

locations inside Balanga City, Bataan should be prohibited in accessing Aguirre Street –

Capitol Drive – KinatawanRoad – Manahan Street – A. Banzon Street conforming to the

 P a g e | 88

Truck Ban Hours. As an alternative, they can access through the roads in Fiscal

Camacho St. – Market Rd. – Gen. Capinpin St.- Hugo Banzon St. and vice versa.

Figure 5.3
SITUATION 2

Note: It is advisable that trucks will go to the area before or after the time that the

ban is ongoing. Other roads will not be accessible because of the ban and especially the

ones that are through Manahan Street.

PARKING

Based on the field observation and analysis of the researchers, the open area

located at the left corner of Narra Street along Capitol Driveis the best possible parking

space because of its availability and accessibility. On street parking will be lessen as well

as the congestion along Capitol Drive.

The following are the images of on-street parking on the roads of the study area:

PROPOSED PARKING AREA

This portion of land along Capitol Drive can be used as a parking area for the on-

street vehicle that occupies the roadway. If this land is not owned by the government, it

can be lease by the land owner or be completely sold to the government.

CHAPTER V

5.1 SUMMARY

Balanga is one of the cities in Bataan that undergo rapid growth in economic

condition and urbanization. As itcontinues to bemodernized, people are encouraged to

migrate in 25 barangays where infrastructure,establishments and commercial center have

been built. Over population occurs in the area means more volume of vehicles thus

results for the existing of traffic. The current situation in the city worsen which have

resulted in the proposal of policy intervention where possible measures will be studied

involving the impact of traffic flow and road width that affect the road congestion. This

research study will be beneficial to the government where it can be used as a basis in

decision making and enforcing the laws about the traffic,to the researchers where it can

be a reference to those who want to further study the related traffic and especially to the

citizens of Balanga which are directly affected by the development of transportation.

This study is design to analyze the traffic volume in Aguirre Street – Capitol

Drive – Kinatawan Road – Manahan Street – A. Banzon Street where it only calculates

the volume capacity ratio of the roads disregarding the vcr of the alternative routes and

focuses only on peak hours due to availability of the researchers. The study includes

gathering of related literatures about traffic volume studies, manual counting, traffic

congestion, vehicle classification, peak hour volume etc. which can be a help on fully

understanding the research presented. Some of related studies have been introduced to

get reference and basis on how to proposed a proper solution with relevant data. The

researchers will conduct manual traffic counting on the study area in Balanga City then,

data will be collected and solved using vcr. After the problem has been analyzed and
 P a g e | 92

data has been set up, policy interventions like alternative routes for tricycles which give

the drivers better accessways, truck ban which prohibit trucks to access the Aguirre

Street – Capitol Drive – Kinatawan Road – Manahan Street – A. Banzon Street during

peak hours and car parking has been proposed upon interpreting the analyzed situation

of the use of volume capacity ratio and standard manual traffic counting wherein the

total capacity of the road is obtain by dividing the hourly car capacity in the capacity

factor. The summation of peak hour volume multiplied to the passenger car equivalent

factor which indicates the total volume. And for future studies, the use of automatic

counting machines and coordination with the local government is recommended for a

more precise data that can help the researchers in formulating better solutions.

5.2 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Considering the number/values accumulated/gathered in the manual traffic count,

tricycles are the major cause or mostly composes the traffic volume in the area of

consideration.

The use of automatic counting machine is highly recommended for a more

accurate data of vehicle traffic count. By acquiring data easily and faster, the future

researchers will have an advantage to focus more on their mitigating solutions.

As the study was conducted during summer vacation of other schools and

universities in Balanga City, the number of participants in the study was drastically

reduced. Also, longer time for collecting the vehicle count can affect the results.

Formulation of stronger mitigating techniques can be acquired if these factors are present.

Coordination with the local government will greatly affect the effectiveness of the

proposed solutions. Implementation of policies and guidance with regards to the

 P a g e | 93

accessible areas will help the researchers in formulation other traffic reduction

techniques.
