TRAVEL TIME ANALYSIS OF GIDAN-KWANO-KPAKUNGU BOSSO PAVEMENT USING INTEGRATED GPS

Abstract

The economic and population growth of the university community and Minna metropolis at large has led to an increase in the demand for an Advanced Travelers Information System. This demand has led to the study of the need to determine the travel time considering the congestion, accidents and delays among others from origin to destination along the Gidan Kwano – Kpakungu - Bosso pavement for the new level of road users in order to provide an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) using data collected by the use of GPS. This information will help a traffic manager on how to estimate travel time. The study was conducted for public transport vehicles navigating this route to serve as an improvement on the Advanced Travelers Information System (ATIS).
