An Effective Mathematical Model for the Control of Road Traffic Gridlock: a Case Study of the Benin City/onitsha Headbridge Road

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This research develops a mathematical modeling approach to mitigate road traffic gridlock on the Benin/Onitsha Headbridge Road. The time-dependent model accounts for variations in vehicle arrivals during high and low traffic periods. It incorporates traffic flow dynamics, vehicle density, and speed. Vehicular data were collected from selected road sections and fitted using a technical computing software. The resulting empirical model, based on a sum of sinusoidal functions, effectively predicts road traffic congestion in the area of study.
