About the Cover

Accurate traffic flow prediction is one of the various ways of decongesting vehicular activities associated with urbanization. As a growing city, Akure south Local Government Area (LGA) metropolis is faced with the challenge of increasing vehicular movement. In this paper an attempt is made in predicting traffic flow using scaled conjugate gradient neural networks to model the traffic data. The traffic data was collected November 2018 to April 2019 (a period of six months) in the selected corridors by using manual traffic count and video camera. The data was processed using Matlab R2015a toolbox. The predicted data were increased by 2% and the corresponding output analyzed. Scaled conjugate gradient neural network gave encouraging results in predicting the traffic flow in the selected areas of interest. (Ref: Ituabhor Odesanya, Joseph Femi Odesanya.
