Abstract

This research is an examining overview of traffic congestions in Duhok city, particularly in university of Duhok as case study area. The study deals with different modes of congestion control standards and systems, calculations utilized within normal programming usage.Thisresearch additionally depicts exactly of the more basic proposals formed based on the data and statistics that has been measured by researchers, through taking time (economic) and social factors in consideration. The statistics involved measurement of private cars in university particularly at the gates at morning time. Different measurements and gathered data was analyzed, then the research focused on finding out appropriate alternative plan to control congestion of traffic in University Campus. Those issues, consider managing, congestion should evaluate the tests over public transportation arranging and improvement, to expand social, environmental and economic benefits to all. After identifications and studying various applied experiences regionally and internationally, the research, studied the linkage of private and public modes of transport in University of Duhok,and ended with some recommendations, to encourage and enhance the public travel and non-motorized transportation.
