Modelling risk factors for red light violation in the Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana.
Red light running places the violator and other road users at risk of road traffic crash. The aim of this research was to undertake a baseline study to establish the current rate of red light running in the Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana and to determine the associated risk factors. -
Understanding demographics of Ride-sourcing and the factors that underlie its use among young people
App-based ride-hailing, as an alternative to traditional taxis, has attracted a lot of interest recently. Ride-sourcing has changed the local passenger transport industry and is seen as a threat to traditional taxis which are mostly, station based or obtained by outstretched arm on the street -
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Topographical Mapping of Inaccessible Land Areas in Ghana: A Cost-Effective Approach
The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for remote data acquisition has rapidly evolved in recent years. The integration of UAV with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques have reduced time and cost in acquiring data for inaccessible land areas -
The Ghana Highway Code as a Teaching and Learning Material
The Ghana Highway Code is the official state-recognised traffic teaching and learning material widely used in traffic schools and by motorists in Ghana. -
Investigating Awareness and Usage of Electronic Resources by Research Scientists in Ghana

The physico-mechanical influence of dehydroxylized activated local kaolin: A supplementary cementitious material for construction applications
This work presents the effect of partially replacing metakaolin with Portland limestone cement to produce mortars for construction. Teleku Bokazo kaolin was explored as a SCM in the production of mortars. -
Signalization options to improve capacity and delay at roundabouts through microsimulation approach: A case study on arterial roadways in Ghana.
Roundabouts are very useful when flows are balanced but can have operational challenges when flows increase. Most roundabouts on arterial roadways in Ghana experience recurring congestion during peak traffic. The four roundabouts between Ejisu Municipality and Asokwa Municipality on the N6 highway are typical of the situation found on arterials countrywide.
