Traffic Management Research Paper

Viewing all the data the researchers have gathered, the solutions to cure the illness with regards to transportation & traffic problems and poor waste management in the three biggest cities in Metropolitan Manila and the MMDA shows no clear positive results. The officials of MMDA themselves are not certain that these projects being implemented or that will be implemented will mend the holes in both transportation and waste management. Traffic congestions and traffic discipline are the two foremost reasons of traffic problems in Metro Manila.
As a proposal to solve the problem in Transportation and Traffic Management, the researchers recommend that:
• The Widening of Roads. The root of Traffic congestion starts when the number of vehicles

An example of which is the system of the Universal Traffic Management System (UTMS) of Japan, wherein vehicles, mostly in Tokyo and Nagoya, are mandated to have an installed upgraded version of their Toll Collection System (TCS), an equivalent of the Philippines’ Radio Frequency Identification (RDFI) . However, the UTMS is also accessed by radio frequency satellites attached to street posts or traffic lights together with the Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) Cameras so that traffic enforcers can charge penalties from a violated traffic rule without interrupting any traffic flow. This is a wise system of charging violators because no exchange of cash or “suhol” can be done to excuse anyone from a traffic

Landfills are places where wastes and garbage are either being thrown or buried. Aside from the danger it will bring to the residential area close to it, Landfills also brings catastrophic effect to the environment. One of the recommendations of the researchers is the shift from the utilization of Landfills to proper waste segregation. If wastes are properly segregated to those biodegradable and non-biodegradable, landfills will no longer be necessary since wastes will both be recycled and reused, buried as a fertilizer, or may be truned into fuels.
• Information Dissemination on Proper Waste Disposal and Development of Waste Programs. Different Local Government Units in Metro Manila are already aware of proper solid waste management and therefore teach their residents about proper segregation however, they must continue to develop programs in order for every citizen to join and be knowledgeable about waste segregation. The researchers highly recommend the development of programs with rewards and punishment system. This follows one of the aims of Reengineering which is “Rewards are given for the achievement of results, not simply for activity” and the trend of New Public Management which is “Developing Competition and Choice”. All the barangays may participate in the waste program of the Local Government. All of them will compete with each other.
