For many transportation projects, the Peak Hour Factor (PHF) is a crucial statistic for flow evaluation and traffic modeling. This study's goal was to assess the PHF's features for two mean-off days and mean workdays for one week. The volume of traffic has been quickly rising across the region. People are having a difficult time due to traffic problems, particularly during peak hours. One of the most serious problems in Baqubah, Iraq is the traffic congestion at main signalized intersections. The intersection is used to facilitate changes in the direction of the traffic flow. The peak hour factor describes changes in traffic flow that occur for the period of the busiest 15 minutes of the highest hour. The process of assessing rush-hour traffic flow circumstances, such as volume and Level of Service, uses this metric. This study has evaluated the current reality of the intersection of Hai Al-Mustafa intersection where the traffic volumes were collected for all approaches and for each movement (right, left, through) and on the bus of which the morning peak was found for the intersection. The Peak hour factor for all approaches was calculated in mean off and Mean Work Day ranging (from 0.80-0.917). The mean Off Day is lower than the Mean Work Day by 17% and the maximum peak period between (7:45-8:45 AM). © 2023, International Organization on 'Technical and Physical Problems of Engineering'.

Urban Growth Prediction by Land Suitability Index for Erbil City using Remote Sensing data, road networks and GIS Techniques

Using remote sensing data and Geographical Information System (GIS) methods, this study tries to anticipate the optimal urban expansion areas in Erbil city. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) concept was used to create a map of urban expansion. Several social, economic, environmental, utility and physical characteristics including land cover, roads, slope, aspect, elevation, soil texture, power lines, water and exclusion, were combined to construct a final land suitability index map. ASTER Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was also followed to derive slope and aspect variables. While organic growth is prominent, considerable growth is expected to occur around the outskirts of current settlements. This research highlights the use of modelbased prediction of urban sprawl in the development of the city’s master plan and road network plan. The findings of this study can help planners and policymakers adopt preventative or regulating measures in advance and make better informed strategic decisions.

Prediction of Urban Growth Using Remote Sensing and the SLEUTH Model in Erbil City, Iraq

This paper presents an urban growth prediction method based on the SLEUTH model for the evaluation of Erbil's urban expansion. The model simulated the city's urban growth in 2030, 2040, and 2050. The model was calibrated using historical remotely sensed data. The research area's land cover maps showed that the area is mostly covered by bare land with over 2000 km2. In 2010, the area witnessed a significant reduction in vegetation. The findings of revealed that organic growth is predominant in Erbil, implying that major growth would occur along the outskirts of existing settlement. The southern and northwestern parts of the city are experiencing sprawl. This could be attributed to industrialization. The findings also revealed that road growth is proportional to urban growth, with the north of the city having the highest road growth compared to the rest of the city. The east of the city saw the least amount of road growth. According to the data, both roads and urban areas experienced linear growth. In 2000, the city experienced greater road growth than urban areas. However, between 2010 and 2020, both roads and urban areas grew significantly. These findings emphasize the significance of sustainable urban design in the long run conservation of the Erbil city ecosystem
