Globally, traffic management is a daily concern during peak periods. The presence of this state of affairs observed daily has a negative impact on many areas such as economy, ecology, air and noise pollution, and contributes to the multiplication of certain diseases such as headaches, acute respiratory infections, lung cancer and travel-related stress. The use of technology and real-time analysis facilitates road traffic management. The constant is that traffic jams are often the result of poorly designed priorities, even though the number of vehicles and population density is constantly increasing. Moreover, the quality and quantity of urban infrastructure is not sufficient to help meet this challenge. Ultimately, it would be desirable for decision-makers to adopt a strategy based on the use of advanced technologies or to build new infrastructure including three bridges in the northern neighborhoods and two bridges in the southern neighborhoods of the city of Bujumbura to deal with traffic congestion.
