Study Notes
- The lecture is the second in a series, focusing on urban transportation planning.
Transportation Planning and Modeling
- It can significantly affect mobility, economic development, environmental quality, government finance and the quality of life.
- Wise planning is needed to create high quality transportation facilities and services at a reasonable cost, and with minimal environmental impact, enhancing economic activity.
- Failure to plan can lead to severe traffic congestion, dangerous travel patterns, slow economic growth, adverse environmental impact, and wasteful use of money and resources.
Vehicle Ownership Growth
- It is related to congestion, pollution, and accidents.
- Suggested solutions for these include building new roads, improving bus services, and using telecommunications as an alternative to travel.
- Many of these solutions are expensive, may not be effective, and may introduce new problems.
Urban Transport Planning
- It aims to understand related problems and formulate safe and sustainable efficient solutions.
- It manages transportation systems to provide adequate systems involving broad interaction with many other disciplines.
- Urban Transport Planning (UTP) is especially important for developing countries.
- It requires developing strategies for operating, managing, maintaining, and financing area transportation systems to advance long-term goals.
Urban Transportation Aims
- Understanding mobility patterns in urban areas.
- Understanding causal factors that influence the level and pattern of mobility.
- Developing relationships between the level of mobility and the causal factors.
- Using these relationships to predict future mobility patterns in urban areas.
- Understanding future transportation infrastructure requirements to meet the demand for transportation.
The Purpose of Transportation
- Providing efficient access to various activities that satisfy human needs.
- The general goal of transportation planning is to accommodate the need for mobility.
Transportation Systems
- Key modes in the system are highways, railways, waterways, airways, ropeways, conveyors and pipelines.
- System components include the way, the vehicle, the terminal, and the control mechanisms.
- System development includes planning, evaluation, design, construction, operation and maintenance.
