In Pekanbaru City, students' trips to and from school tend use private vehicles, be it motorbikes or those delivered by parents, so the available urban transportation is less attractive. Almost 75% of students motorbikes, this situation can certainly affect student safety. This seen number accidents in 2017 which placed profession as a victim 2nd position. Therefore, necessary plan safe, comfor...

This research work takes a different approach in the discussion of urban form impacts on transport planning and auto dependency. Concentrated density represented by effective density explains auto dependency better than the conventional density and it is proved to be a realistic density representative for the urban transportation analysis. Model analysis reveals that effective density is influe...

In the ever-growing travel demand, traffic congestion on freeways and expressways recurs more frequently at a higher number of locations and for longer durations with added severity. This becomes especially true in large metropolitan areas. Particular to the urban areas, excessive crowdedness caused by inefficient traffic control also results in urban street networks operating in near or over-s...

Just before a hurricane is predicted to strike an urban area, millions of people evacuate from impact zones to safer regions. This paper provides a mass-evacuation strategy using public transportation before the strike of a hurricane. The assumptions made are that the evacuation zones, shelter locations, and the time of strike of the hurricane are pre-determined. The evacuation operations comme...

Singapore is the third largest oil-refining centre in the world, with a large petrochemical hub located at Jurong Island. In view of the increasing concern for transportation security, there is an urgent need to improve the way trucks carrying hazardous materials (HAZMATs) are being routed on urban and suburban road networks. Routing of such vehicles should not only ensure the safety of travele...

This paper introduces a special kind of multi-depot pickup and delivery problem. In contrast to the general pickup and delivery problem (GPDP, see e.g. [19, 31]) all requests have to be picked up at or delivered to one central location which has the function of a hub or consolidation point. In hub transportation networks routes between customers and the hub are often short, i.e. involve only on...

Many transportation agencies take part in the freeway incident management (IM) process by deploying safety service patrols (SSPs), typically on highly congested, urban roadways. SSPs are a countermeasure to freeway operations problems, and their implementation can improve safety and mitigate congestion. They are typically deployed in areas that have high traffic volumes (e.g., urban freeways) a...

Anthropogenic noise is debatably one of the most common threats to national parks' resources. Park visitors and workers generally suffer from adverse effects of noise from on- and off-road vehicles. The parks, studied here, are located in strictly urban areas, surrounded by streets with intense vehicle traffic. This study assesses the soundscape of urban parks in two cities of Odisha State, on ...

This paper presents a dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) model for urban multi-modal transportation network by constructing a mesoscopic simulation model. Several traffic means such as private car, subway, bus and bicycle are considered in the network. The mesoscopic simulator consists of a mesoscopic supply simulator based on MesoTS model and a time-dependent demand simulator. The mode choice is...
