    COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE

    NAME: Ron Zeikenu C. Anasario


    SUBJECT: Traffic Management & Accident Investigation with Driving
    SECTION: BSCRIM 22M2
    PROF: Jeferson Saño

    WEEK 1
    1. Meaning of Traffic Management
    -Traffic management is the organization, arrangement, guidance and control of
    both stationary and moving traffic, including pedestrians, bicyclists and all types
    of vehicles.

    2. Areas of Traffic Management


    • Traffic Signal Control
    • Speed Management
    • Emergency Vehicles
    • Green light Management
    • Confined Intersections
    • Predictive Light Control

    When traffic signals are appropriately installed, they may be beneficial in increasing the
    capacity of traffic handling on the road and help in the reduction of road accidents.
    Furthermore, they are useful in improving the safety and efficiency of both the
    pedestrian and the vehicular traffic.

    3. What are the 5’s of Traffic Management


    • Education- Due to the role of human factor in the occurrence of accidents, traffic
    safety education programs are needed to be implemented. The public needs to
    become aware that the issues of traffic and traffic accidents are vital to their
    health and safety.

    • Encouragement- When traffic signals are appropriately installed, they may be


    beneficial in increasing the capacity of traffic handling on the road and help in the
    reduction of road accidents. Furthermore, they are useful in improving the safety
    and efficiency of both the pedestrian and the vehicular traffic.

    • Enforcement- Although the situation may vary between different jurisdictions, the
    enforcement of traffic regulations often becomes relevant to the operations of the
    network. To ensure a smooth network flow, road users are expected to comply
    with regulations. Unless those regulations are self-enforcing (for example speed
    control through traffic calming measures) there needs to be a way to enforce the
    regulations.

    • Evaluation

    1) Highlights The traffic of an arterial road near a new ballpark was


    investigated.

    2) Traffic management strategies for sporting events were evaluated over


    five years.

    3) Traffic data were collected from loop detectors and Bluetooth sensors.

    4) Signal retiming was effective for traffic entering games but not after
    games.

    5) Real-time travel time can be reported on variable message signs to


    improve traffic.
    • Engineering- Traffic engineering is a branch of civil engineering that uses
    engineering techniques to achieve the safe and efficient movement of people and
    goods.
