Travel Time and Delay Studies on the Sunyani Road in the Kumasi Metropolis.pdf

Traffic congestion is a common issue in urban areas, especially on major roads in the Kumasi Metropolis. This study looks at congestion on Sunyani Road, a key arterial route divided into six segments, running from Cambridge International to the Y-junction. Using both the Moving Vehicle Technique and the Floating Car Method, data were collected from 14 trips during peak hours. The results showed severe congestion, with speeds dropping to 11.25 km/h in the morning and 7.25 km/h in the afternoon. Some segments had travel times as high as 788 and 1080 seconds, and vehicle density and flow were also significantly high. Data from the Mytracks GPS app closely matched that from the traditional method, confirming its reliability for measuring travel times and delays.
