the following indexes: CO2 Emission Index, Computer Time Index, Time Exp. Index, and Inefficiency Index. A number of things, including the presence of a thriving economy in a certain area, are indicated by traffic congestion.
Where there are abundant economic opportunities, people prefer to swarm in large numbers, which makes overpopulation a serious problem.
Traffic congestion is one of the repercussions of population growth, particularly when a sizable portion of the populace is earning a sizable amount each month. There are sometimes far too many automobiles on the road at any given moment, which leads to terrible traffic congestion when a sizeable portion of the population can afford cars while also growing bored of public transportation.
The Inefficiency Index is a term coined by Serbian crowd-sourced worldwide database Numbeo to describe this effect. The Inefficiency Index, according to Numbeo, estimates traffic inefficiencies. Long commutes or those who drive instead of taking public transportation are typically to blame for high inefficiency.
The global database also considers other factors, such as Time Index, an average one-way time needed to transport, in minutes, Time Exp. Index, an estimation of dissatisfaction due to long commute times, and CO2 Emission Index, an estimation of CO2 consumption due to traffic time, to come up with its Traffic Index, which Numbeo describes as time consumed in traffic due to job commute.
Of course, there are other variables as well, such as defective road systems, inadequate infrastructure, negligent driving, the presence of construction projects, and more.Yet, based on Numbeo’s chosen indicators, these are the five African nations with the worst levels of traffic congestion. These indices are computed by the database platform using a carefully thought-out methodology.
