Managing Traffic Intensity With Queuing Theory

Abstract

The objective of road transport policies is multifaceted, encompassing the mitigation of traffic congestion and the reduction of road accidents, particularly in urban areas. These policies also emphasize sustainable development through efficient resource utilization and the promotion of alternative transportation modes.By integrating these goals, road transport policies seek to foster a balanced and resilient transportation system that addresses societal needs while promoting environmental sustainability and equitable mobility.This paper seeks to predict road traffic intensity in various locations within Lagos State, Nigeria, using queuing theory as its analytical tool.
