Abstract :

Modern society depends on transportation systems as an integral part of daily activities.According to Statistics Canada, within the “2010 Commuting to Work” report, traffic slowdownsand capacity problems in road systems are serious issues that result in commuters’dissatisfaction, in addition to delaying deliveries and reducing business productivity. Moreover, traffic congestion contributes to urban smog and pollution that diminish environmental qualityand jeopardize public health.
