\label{table:philippine-motor-statistics}  \end{table}  \\  Several efforts were made to address the congestion problem by both the government and private sectors. The most common solution proposed is to create wider and sufficient roads to accommodate the growing number of vehicles. However, even rich cities like Los Angeles are unable to provide sufficient road space to eliminate heavy traffic on a freeway network \cite{Webber_2000}. Suggestions on restricting the use of cars are politically impossible unless it is a dictatorial state. Improvement of a safer and better public transportation is another, this is where developing countries adapt systems like the Light Rail Transit (LRT), Metro Rail Transit (MRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). Obeservation and data gathering are being improved to detect vehicular density and flow to create analysis for better traffic management through the use of sensors such as RF-Id tags, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET), Infrared System, Bluetooth, Zigbe, Multi-Agent Systems, Cameras, GPS and the use of mobile signals including 2G, 3G and LBS Systems \cite{Matthew_2014}.However, with numerous sensors, telemetry and telematics devices and other on-line traffic and mobility data collection tools utilized for monitoring traffic \cite{Matthew_2014}, \cite{lopes_bento_huang_antoniou_ben-akiva_2010},  most of them are more usable in developed countries. Recent applications were developed such as Waze that exercises fundamental routing methods through the use of information technology. \section{Research Objectives}  \label{sec:researchobjectives}
