“Link In Park”, Exploring the Possibilities of Adapting the Park Connector Model of Singapore in DHVSU - SM Pampanga route: A Correlational Study between Road Condition and Traffic Experience

Abstract

Traffic is a significant problem in the field of transportation. As a developing province in the north, Pampanga experiences dilemmas in traffic congestion along highways and intersections. The Municipality of Bacolor, and The City of San Fernando, the capital of Pampanga, are urbanized areas with colossal traffic volume observed daily. This study aimed to explore the factors of an individual’s perception and experience in commuting for consideration of active transport and propose a possible route according to the data gathered by adapting the Singapore Park Connector Network. Using the results of a survey questionnaire administered to 385 students of DHVSU Main Campus Bacolor, Pampanga, the collected data were analyzed to examine the correlation between traffic experience and road conditions, and evaluated the consideration of active transport. Models were generated using ArcGIS, AutoCAD, SketchUp. Local Government Unit, and other secondary data were also gathered in performing this study. Features and other public-necessities are also included to help smoothen the experience of commuters.
