Advanced OR and AI Methods in Transportation INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AND LAND USE POLICIES FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: RELOCATION OF RESIDENCES, ROAD PRICING AND TRANSIT SUBSIDY

چکیده
Incompatibilities between urban transport and land use are rapidly growing in developing countries. Due to this mismatch, vehicle ownership is increasing dreadfully causing urban areas for various problems including congestion and air pollution. This study attempts to investigate the household travel behaviour on vehicle ownership, mode choice and trip sharing aspects by developing a nested logit (NL) model as a basic step of the analysis. Then, the estimated NL model is used for integrated policy assessments based on relocation of residences, road pricing, and reduction of transit fares. The policy impacts are presented as the reductions of vehicle kilometres of travel and air pollution considering Bangkok Metropolitan Region as a case study.

The Mobility - Productivity Paradox Exploring The Negative Relationships Between Mobility and Economic Productivity
This paper explores a paradox: negative correlations between indicators of mobility (such as VMT) and productivity (such as GDP), and positive correlations between mobility constraints (higher road use prices or traffic congestion) and productivity. These relationships contradict common assumptions that policies and projects that increase vehicle travel (roadway expansions and lower road user p...
متن کاملTowards More Comprehensive and Multi-Modal Transport Evaluation
This report describes ways to make transportation planning evaluation more comprehensive and multi-modal. Conventional transport planning is mobility-based, it assumes that the planning objective is to maximize travel speed, and evaluates transport system performance based primarily on motor vehicle travel conditions. A new paradigm recognizes that the ultimate goal of most transport activity i...
متن کاملSingapore motorisation restraint and its implications on travel behaviour and urban sustainability
The example of Singapore shows that rapid urban and economic growth does not have to bring traffic congestion and pollution. Singapore has chosen to restrain car traffic demand due to its limited land supply. Transport policy based on balanced development of road and transit infrastructure and restraint of traffic has been consistently implemented for the past 30 years. Combined with land use p...

This report investigates the role that public transit can play in reducing traffic congestion. Investigates the role that public transit can play in reducing traffic congestion. This analysis indicates that high quality public transit tends to reduce congestion by attracting travelers who would otherwise drive. As public transit service improves on a corridor (including improved speed, convenie...
متن کاملToward More Comprehensive and Multi-modal Transport Evaluation
This report critically evaluates transport policy and project evaluation practices, and describes ways to make them more comprehensive and multi-modal. The conventional transport planning paradigm is mobility-based, it assumes that the planning objective is to maximize travel speed and distance, and evaluates transport system performance based primarily on automobile travel conditions. A new pa...
