Abstract

Traffic in Metro Manila costs an estimated 2.4 billion Pesos every day. With Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, or EDSA, being one of the main thoroughfares, a reduction of traffic would benefit the whole National Capital Region. This paper would study the possible effect of better propagation of instantaneous traffic data for EDSA, allowing drivers to make better informed decisions regarding what route to take, and if that route should include EDSA.  Traffic updates, including EDSA are available online and through radio, but this paper will consider the addition of additional information dissemination techniques such as electronic signage along EDSA and the adjoining roads.
