    Abstract : Transitions away from car-dominance is one of the key debates in urban research, policy and practice today. Car-free public space, cycling and convenient public transport services are widely seen as desirable, yet the reconfiguration of our streets and transport networks has been incremental. READ MORE

    Abstract : Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. READ MORE

  5. 3. New Opportunities in Urban Transport Data : Methodologies and Applications

    Author : Masoud Fadaei Oshyani; Anders Karlström; Oded Cats; Marcus Sundberg; Kari Edison Watkin; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : The deployment of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is growing in transportation which may contribute to a more efficient and effective service. The data acquired from ICT based systems could be used for many purposes such as statistical analysis and behavior learning and inference. READ MORE

  6. 4. Public Transportation in a Systems Perspective A Conceptual Model and an Analytical Framework for Design and Evaluation

    Author : Stig Franzén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

    Abstract : Today urban areas are faced with problems like traffic congestion, air pollution, and limited accessibility and transport policy issues are focused on the "sustainable city of the future". For decision-makers the crucial question is how, with limited financial resources, a system for public transportation should be designed and developed to provide attractive travel and transport services.

    Abstract : There has been a recent surge in interest in waterborne public transportation (WPT). Publictransport providers (PTP) are seeing its potential in complementing the existing transportnetwork and alleviating urban traffic congestion and pollution. But the adoption of WPTtoday is challenging due to a series of technical and implementation challenges. READ MORE
