EFFECT OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON MENTAL HEALTH

Introduction: Bangalore is one of the most popular cities in the country, the IT industry has grown rapidly and employment opportunities are also increasing, resulting in an increase in the automobile population to about 5 million people, annual growth rate It will be 7 to 10%. It is known that traffic congestion confuses emotions and leads to frustration and absence. Therefore, this research aims to understand the stress, anxiety, and depression of urban bus drivers and to compare the results in a similar work environment with non-drivers. Purpose: To measure the stress, anxiety, depression of the bus driver of the city bus. Also, compare the results with non-driving factors of similar work environment. METHODS: Parallel research was conducted using 30 male city bus drivers as a case and 30 men bus conductor was a control, and the age group was 20 to 60 years old. Working hours of the research group were consistent with socioeconomic status. Exclude appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria and take informed consent. All subjects received 42 questionnaires to evaluate depression, anxiety and stress, depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS). Results: Editing and Statistical Analysis Drivers were more stressful and statistically significant (p <0.01) than non-drivers, scores of anxiety and depression showed a similar trend but were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The result shows that urban bus drivers are more stressful than non-drivers driving in the same environment. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize stress control.

By effectively introducing the Intelligent Transportation System, a sustainable transportation solution is born. Implementing ITS correctly can improve traffic efficiency, alleviate congestion, improve driver's safety, and improve energy efficiency. Other means that need to be taken include developing and improving public transport networks, improving traffic infrastructure, improving traffic safety, improving traffic rules and safety awareness, and developing cost effective public transport facilities. The effectiveness of these measures also depends on the people of Delhi and appropriate laws.

Population growth and the rapid development of Lagos are putting great pressure on the public transportation system in the city. Traffic congestion is a major problem in Lagos, but in the past we tried to alleviate this problem by improving public transportation and road networks, but it can take several kilometers in just a few hours. The population of Lagos is over 21 million. The population of Lagos is growing faster than the population of London and New York, with growth rates of 9 and 10 per hour. In the beginning of 2015, London reached the record of 6 million inhabitants, in the same year Lagos had a population of over 20 million people.

Traffic is the result of decisions made by millions of individuals. These decisions are heavily influenced by traffic conditions. If traffic jam is too big, it is a very effective regulatory mechanism that encourages you to use the subway, ride a bicycle, change the travel time. However, in the future, as companies become increasingly responsible for traffic creation, their motivation to solve traffic jams may no longer be our collective support. Amazon does not mind if its own sales truck can not move due to traffic congestion. In fact, from the point of view of energy usage and charging, it may be even more beneficial.
