Urban traffic models often struggle with rare and disruptive events because real-world data for such situations are limited. This article presents the SynTraffic project, which explores the use of synthetic traffic data to support more robust and resilient traffic modelling. The proposed approach combines real-world observations with artificially created traffic scenarios to expand the range of conditions available for model development. The methodology is demonstrated using the city of Žilina as a representative urban case with complex traffic patterns and long-term monitoring infrastructure. The article focuses on the theoretical background,...

Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with developing nations like Nigeria experiencing disproportionately high fatality rates. Despite the presence of a dedicated road safety agency, Nigeria's road traffic fatality rate remains one of the highest globally, with contributing factors including risky driving behavior, inadequate emergency response, and societal attitudes towards accident victims. This study aims to appraise drivers' attitudes toward assisting road accident victims in Nigeria. A survey research design was adopted, utilizing primary data collected through questionnaires administered...

The quick response of the police to emergency calls can save lives and property. However, one key factor that affects police emergency response time, with limited focus in the literature, is the effect of the poor condition of the road. Thus, this study aims to examine the effect of poor road conditions on the response of the Nigeria Police to emergency calls in Ijebu-North Local Government Area (INLGA), Ogun State, Nigeria. The study is based on the range concept of the Central Place Theory. Data on the locational coordinates of three (3) police stations, sixty-five (65) identified settlements, and road networks in INLGA were obtained from topographic...
Packages and Parcels Delivery by Inter-City Informal Transport Service Operators in Ogun State, Nigeria

The study investigates the impact of Person-to-Person (P2P) package and parcel delivery via informal public transportation in Nigeria, which dominates inter/intra-urban mobility in developing countries. A concerning trend is the unchecked dispatch of parcels through informal means, such as parks, without proper verification by drivers or their agents. To examine this, a multi-stage sampling approach was used: the population was first stratified into drivers and commuters, then snowball sampling identified those with relevant experiences, and purposive random sampling was employed for questionnaire distribution. Findings show that most drivers...
