    Comparative Study

    This document outlines three civil engineering student projects that propose designs to address heavy traffic congestion at the Vitaliano Agan Avenue Intersection in Zamboanga City, Philippines. The first project compares the efficiency of designing a four-phased traffic signal system versus a roundabout. The second focuses on designing a four-phased traffic signal specifically. The third proposes an effective geometric design of a roundabout using traffic simulation software to reduce delays and improve traffic flow, especially during peak hours. The goals are to promote continuous traffic flow and reduce the number and severity of conflict points.

    Proposed Title

    Comparative Design of Four Phased Signal System and Roundabout in


    Vitaliano Agan Avenue Intersection

    Bea Claudel S. Opaon, Jdulia Claire Ruiz, John Lloyd Juano


    CE 152 (CE PROJECT 1)

    1. Problem:
    Heavy traffic and there is no existing proper traffic signal to reduce traffic
    congestion.
    2. Objective
    Generally, the aim of this study is to design a Rotary Intersection (Roundabout)
    and Traffic Signal System in Vitaliano Agan Avenue Intersection, Zamboanga City to
    compare which design is more efficient.
    Specifically, this study aimed:
    1.To determine the traffic volume.
    2.To determine which design is the most efficient in Vitaliano Agan Avenue
    Intersection, Zamboanga City.
    3. To reduce the delay and enhance the level of service (LOS) of the
    intersection, especially during peak hours.
    3. Significance

    The significance of the study is to focus on the two geometric design: Four Phased
    Signal System and Geometric Design of Roundabout, to compare which design is more
    efficient in Vitaliano Agan intersection. The study promotes a design of continuous flow
    of vehicles that can reduce delays and reducing the number and severity of conflict points.

    CE 152 (CE PROJECT 1)

    1. Problem:
    Heavy traffic and there is no existing proper traffic signal to reduce traffic
    congestion.

    2. Objective
    Generally, the aim of this study is to provide a proper signal system in Vitaliano
    Agan Avenue Intersection, to reduce traffic congestion using highway capacity
    manual, traffic signal manual and highway safety design standard manual (DPWH).
    Specifically, this study aimed:
    1. To determine the traffic volume
    2. To create a proper traffic flow of moving vehicles during peak hour.

    Effective Geometric Design of Roundabout

    in Vitaliano Agan Avenue Intersection, Zamboanga City using PTV Vissim

    Bea Claudel S. Opaon, Jdulia Claire Ruiz, John Lloyd Juano


    CE 152 (CE PROJECT 1)

    1. Objective
    Generally, the aim of this study is to geometrically design a Rotary Intersection
    (Roundabout) in Vitaliano Agan Avenue Intersection, Zamboanga City to reduce traffic
    congestion.
    Specifically, this study aimed:
    1. To reduce the delay and enhance the level of service (LOS) of the
    intersection, especially during peak hours.
    2. To determine the influence of the designed roundabout to nearby
    intersections (Gov. Camins and Sta. Cruz Flea Market intersection).
    3. To carry out a model using PTV Vissim that will be used to present the flow
    of traffic at designed roundabout and nearby intersections during peak hours.
    2. Significance

    The results of this study will be beneficial to the traffic flow through an intersection
    more quickly, and with less congestion on approaching roads. Also, building a roundabout
    is less expensive than using a traffic signal where long term costs and maintenance are
    considered. Our proposed geometric model provides a solution to collisions and
    congestions, especially during peak hours; promotes a continuous flow of vehicles that
    can reduce delays and reducing the number and severity of conflict points.
