THE PROBLEM DEFINED

• Increasing traffic congestion
• Evaluating and addressing traffic demands and
  problems
• Inadequacy of current modes of public transport

7
OBJECTIVES

• To apply the traditional urban transport planning
  process to the city of Cebu and its neighboring
  cities
• To make use of both primary and secondary data in
  the calibration process of road network flows as
  well as in the forecast of future traffic demand
• To determine the impact of proposed sustainable
  transport strategies on urban travel in Metro Cebu

8
SCOPE, LIMITATIONS, AND DELIMITATIONS

• Cebu City and outskirts
• Study is confined to major or significant roads
  due to lack of data
• Data obtained will be limited due to scope or
  size of the area of study

9
ASSUMPTIONS

• There are no pedicabs (or similar vehicles)
  considered in the vicinity.
• The public utility vehicles (PUVs) are merely
  passing through streets that are included on the
  street maps.
• The vehicle operating cost does not change
  throughout the period of the study.
• Total number of vehicles in the system is
  constant.
• Zone delineation would be patterned to the
  political boundaries.

10
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

• Improving of urban road conditions (travel time
  and congestion)
• Meeting the increasing traffic demand of the
  future (Sustainability)
• Favorable to the environment and health of the
  general population.
