Fleet size and traffic flow rate dimensions of the University of Port Harcourt mass transit system

The University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria is rapidly developing and expanding in spatial size, thus, leading to upsurge population staff, students, business owners visitors. Consequently, there the growing concern that with current state perennial buildup traffic along main entry exit routes campus; occurrence major mobility crises, especially during peak-hours only a matter time. To make for better understanding appreciation conditions, precariousness near future recommend appropriate measures towards arresting situation, this study became necessary. paper evaluates characteristics area using such temporal parameters as volume, on/off peak periods flow rate 5 work-days week. For rate, revealed high volume within 1.5 kilometers network. This gave average values 8.8, 8.5, 8.2, 6.8 8.1 vehicles per minute 5-day count, morning peak-hour, between 8 9am. Similarly, evening peak-hour (4-5 pm) 5.8, 5.4, 5.1, 4.9 6.2 minute. Fleet size was an 245 day. geometric features road networks, fleet invariably contribute gridlock at peak-hours. Values were obtained through Gordon line survey carried out on five week, consecutively.
