Contribution to the Modeling of the Urban Space with a View to Its Development Oriented towards a Better Management and a Decongestion of Traffic in Antananarivo

摘要

Traffic jam is a main issue for Antananarivo citizens. Modeling this urban space helps both to understand the subject and find out adequate solutions. It is a part and parcel of a research including at least 5 models. One of them is the vocation-use model; this paper describes its main characteristics. Its confusion matrix is used to check if the actual uses of the various infrastructures match up to their vocations. Results obtained with a typical road section in this City assess the present K Cohen kappa coefficient value to be 0.62.
