Book Synopsis The Local (Public) Transport Plan as an Approach to optimize Urban Public Transport Planning in Iran by : Arndt, Wulf-Holger
Download or read book The Local (Public) Transport Plan as an Approach to optimize Urban Public Transport Planning in Iran written by Arndt, Wulf-Holger and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many countries, the exclusive concentration on a simple extension of the road based transportation network led to growing individual car traffic hence to additional demand for roads and striking external effects of transport. All issues have a severe negative impact on the living and working conditions within many urban centers. In the last decade, especially in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, municipalities tried to restrict continuous growth of car traffic and intensified their efforts in supporting alternative concepts with focus on environmentally-friendly mobility approaches. However, many of these approaches were quite ambitious and innovative but often rather implemented in a disintegrated way. The transport research activities that have been conducted during the project runtime of the Young Cities in Iran project within in the BMBF (German Federal Ministry of Research and Education) funded Megacities program investigated the urban transport sector of the MENA region in general and the one of Iran in detail. The researchers revealed that the Iranian urban public transport planning system is lacking coordination between the level of the Urban Transportation Masterplan and the level of public transport operators. This publication analyses the tool of the Local (Public) Transport Plan which is already used in many agglomerations worldwide to define fixed quality and service standards for urban public transport. It, moreover, investigates the Iranian urban transport planning system and suggests a way how to adapt the tool to fit with Iranian conditions. In vielen Städten weltweit hat die alleinige Ausrichtung der Verkehrsplanung auf die Erweiterung der straßenbasierten Verkehrsinfrastruktur zu einem weiteren Anstieg des motorisierten Individualverkehrs geführt. Die wachsenden externen Effekte des motorisierten Individualverkehrs haben sich zunehmend negativ auf die Lebens- und Arbeitsbedingungen in vielen urban Zentren ausgewirkt und diese nachhaltig beeinträchtigt. In der vergangenen Dekade haben zahlreiche Stadtverwaltungen, insbesondere jene der MENA (Mittlerer Osten, Nord Afrika) - Region dem Wachstum des motorisierten Individualverkehrs Einhalt zu gebieten. In diesem Zusammenhang wurden vor allem Anstrengungen unternommen die Umsetzung alternativer Planungskonzepte mit Fokus auf umweltverträglicheren Verkehrsträgern zu befördern. Viele dieser Ansätze waren sehr ambitioniert und innovativ wurden jedoch häufig nur in einer sehr desintegrierten Weise umgesetzt. Die Verkehrsforschungsaktivitäten die während der Projektlaufzeit des vom BMBF geförderten Young Cities Projektes unternommen wurden, konzentrierten sich vornehmlich auf die Verkehrsentwicklung der Städte in der MENA Region im Allgemeinen und die des Iran im Besonderen. Eine Erkenntnis dieser Aktivitäten war dass es dem iranischen Planungssystem an Koordination zwischen der Ebene des Verkehrsentwicklungsplans und den semi-privaten Unternehmen öffentlichen Verkehrsunternehmen mangelt. Diese Publikation analysiert das Werkzeug des in vielen Städten weltweit angewandten „Local Transport Plan“ dahingehend ob es geeignet wäre diese Koordinierungslücke zu füllen und verbindliche Standards für Qualität und Angebot im öffentlichen Nahverkehr iranischer Städte zu setzen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auch das iranische städtische Verkehrsplanungssystem genauer beleuchtet und es werden Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt dieses Werkzeug in das iranische Planungssystem zu integrieren.

Book Synopsis Non-Motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa by : Winnie V. Mitullah
Download or read book Non-Motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa written by Winnie V. Mitullah and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What challenges do pedestrians and cyclists face in cities of the developing world? What opportunities do these cities have to provide for walking and cycling? Based on in-depth research conducted in Cape Town (South Africa), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Nairobi (Kenya), this book explores these questions by presenting work on walking and cycling travel behaviour, the status of road safety in these cities, as well as an analysis of the infrastructure for walking and cycling, and the workings of the institutions responsible for planning for these modes. The book also presents case studies relating to particular opportunities and challenges, such as the development and evaluation of ‘walking bus’ interventions, and the opportunities micro-simulation of pedestrian interventions offers within a data-scarce environment. Non-motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa demonstrates that transport and urban planning remains situated in a logic of automobile-dependent transport planning and global city development. This logic of practice does not pay adequate attention to walking and cycling. It argues that a significant shift in both policy as well as political commitment is needed so as to prioritize walking and cycling as strategies for sustainable transport policy in urban Africa. This book will be a key text for practitioners and policy makers working in planning, transport policy and urban development in Africa, as well as students and scholars of African studies, development studies, urban geography, transport studies and sustainable development.
Book Synopsis Public Transport Planning and Management in Developing Countries by : Ashish Verma
Download or read book Public Transport Planning and Management in Developing Countries written by Ashish Verma and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing Countries Have Different Transportation Issues and Requirements Than Developed Countries An efficient transportation system is critical for a country’s development. Yet cities in developing countries are typically characterized by high-density urban areas and poor public transport, as well as lack of proper roads, parking facilities, road user discipline, and control of land use, resulting in pollution, congestion, accidents, and a host of other transportation problems. Public Transport Planning and Management in Developing Countries examines the status of urban transport in India and other developing countries. It explains the principles of public transport planning and management that are relevant and suitable for developing countries, addresses current transportation system inefficiencies, explores the relationship between mobility and accessibility, and analyzes the results for future use. Considers Socioeconomic and Demographic Characteristics It’s projected that by 2030, developing nations will have more vehicles than developed nations, and automated guided transit (AGT) and other transport systems will soon be available in India. This text compares five cities using specific indicators—urbanization, population growth, vehicle ownership, and usage. It determines demographic and economic changes in India, and examines how these changes have impacted transportation demand and supply, transport policy and regulations, and aspects of economics and finance related to public transport. The authors emphasize preserving and improving existing modes, efficient use of the public transport management infrastructure, implementing proper planning measures, and encouraging a shift towards sustainable modes. They also discuss sustainability in terms of environment, energy, economic, and land use perspectives and consider the trends of motorization, vehicle growth, modal share, effects on mobility and environment, and transport energy consumption and emissions. Public Transport Planning and Management in Developing Countries addresses the growing resource needs and economics of public transport in developing countries, explains various aspects of public transport planning and management, and provides readers with a basic understanding of both urban and rural public transport planning and management in developing countries.
Download or read book Sustainable Transport written by R Tolley and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cycling and walking are both essential components in sustainable transport strategy and are becoming an ever more important part of urban planning. There is now a wealth of international experience of how well sustainable planning works in practice and how it can be improved. With a wide range of contributions from America, Australia, Europe as well as the UK, Sustainable transport sums up many of the lessons learnt and how they can be applied in improved planning. Non-motorised transport planning depends on combining improvements to infrastructure with education.There are chapters examining both national strategies and local initiatives in cities around the world, including such topics as changes to existing road infrastructure and the integration of cycling and walking with public transport. Since education is a critical element in sustainable transport planning, contributors also consider such topics as developing healthier travel habits and ways of promoting cycling and walking as alternatives to the car.With its blend of practical experience and suggestions for improvement, Sustainable transport is essential reading for urban planners, environmental groups and those researching transport issues. - Comprehensive handbook covering sustainable transport initiatives world wide - Focuses on walking and cycling as alternatives to motorised transport systems - Presents practical advice on how to encourage sustainable transport schemes
Book Synopsis Public Transport Planning by : B I Singal
Download or read book Public Transport Planning written by B I Singal and published by Copal Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-07-07 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congestion, lack of mobility and rising air pollution in our cities are becoming areas of serious concern for all stakeholders: authorities, operators and commuters alike. It is also widely accepted that augmentation of public transport (PT) both in quality and quantity will provide relief. A critical issue in this context is the choice of a particular PT mode for a city. Comprehensive information on various modes, aspects of planning a city‐wide PT network and choice of mode is not easily available at one place to students, planners and city officials. This book is an attempt to bridge this gap. This book is based on author’s direct experience in planning, design and implementation of urban transport projects particularly public transport projects in India and abroad, in the overall context of urban mobility. The content of the book is largely at a conceptual level and brings out the finer points in planning. The book is divided into five parts, i.e. modes of public transport, planning a citywide public transport network, planning road‐based modes, planning rail transit and other planning issues.

Download or read book Transportation, Land Use and Integration written by I.M. Schoeman and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years the integration of the location of land use and activities in spatial systems, as well as the provision of transport in movement of goods, services and people, has been recognized as a challenge amongst various specialists, including: engineers, transportation planners, economists, environmentalists, urban and regional planners and developers. The purpose of this book is to address transportation modelling in terms of technology, techniques and methodology application in context to the interface between transportation systems, land use planning, and environmental challenges and application. The methodology of transportation modelling is applied to international practices and application based on specific case studies, inclusive of public transportation projects; transportation modelling techniques in practice; international research agenda; network design and channel strategies; strategic planning; application of technology in traffic surveys and interpretation; emissions from transportation systems; application of mathematical models and the interface between environment, land use and development in terms of location in space and the resulting activities. Of value to both theorists and practitioners, this book references the integration of transportation modelling techniques within an interdisciplinary environment inside all spatial systems.

Book Synopsis Transport, Demand Management and Social Inclusion by : Fiona Rajé
Download or read book Transport, Demand Management and Social Inclusion written by Fiona Rajé and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social inclusion/exclusion has only recently emerged in transport-related discourse. Despite the apparent absence of a transport policy framework for social inclusion/exclusion, there has been some movement towards a greater understanding of the social aspects of transport in the research sphere. This book brings together some of this research, focusing on ethnicity - an area that has, so far, had little discussion in the traditional transport literature, thereby contributing to the exploration of the interface between transport and social exclusion. In particular, it examines the contribution that demand management measures can make to the reduction of the negative impacts of road-based transport. It questions whether methods such as road user charging and work place parking can be used as instruments for social inclusion, and analyses the potential negative impacts of these schemes if sufficient attention is not paid to ethnicity issues.
Book Synopsis Land Use Management and Transportation Planning by : C.B. Schoeman
Download or read book Land Use Management and Transportation Planning written by C.B. Schoeman and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interface between land use management and transportation planning represents probably the most important spatial impact in sustainable land use, mobility and transportation development. Prior to this book, only limited attempts have been made to integrate these topics as to enhance smart growth and sustainable development principles within spatial systems. The approach followed differs internationally and specifically between different planning and transportation authorities. The spatial impacts of land use and transportation serve as the main catalyst in urban form, development and its associated problems. These impacts represent severe consequences from a built and environmental development perspective. All of these are covered in the book and its supporting chapters. The focus of the book is the application of best practice principles in managing the interface between land use management and transportation planning. Internationally the practice is the promotion of more sustainable urban and rural forms supported by improved levels of accessibility through the application of smart growth and sustainability principles. The focus however remains to successfully optimise land use and transportation integration. The structuring used within each of the chapters provide the reader with the basic and applicable theory and practical knowledge to attain system wide integration and sustainability within the dynamics of spatial and transportation systems. The inclusion of specific theme related case studies endorses the relevancy of this book’s topic.
