Hello fellow nairalanders am a student of Lautech ogbomosho, oyo state. we were recently given a project topic to work on , so i would need your contributions please if you are Abuja based.

The topic is " The socio-economic cost of traffic congestion in Abuja Nigeria"

Please kindly drop your contributions thanks.....

i believe you need someone on ground in to administer questionnaires and obtain responses from car owners on their experiences during traffic.

I could design a simple mathematical model to justify the inclusion of basic variables that measure the socio-economic costs of traffic, with traffic measured by the perceived amount of time spent on the road stationary.

The model will be based on simple constraint optimization and a system of equations can be designed.

The questionnaire sample can be designed and administered in certain regions of Abuja (by my hired personel on ground) and an analysis of the data can be conducted to quantify the socio-economic costs of traffic.

Though i am not resident in Abuja, i have people there who can administer the questionaire on my behalf and send the coded data in .xlsx format over to me for analysis with either Eviews 7 or SPSS!
