This paper proposes basic concepts of comprehensive traffic and transportation system, which is a nonstop involving process. With the development of the society and improvement of science and technology, the industry of traffic and transportation is coming to the direction of using innovation technology in infrastructure design and transportation management. It is difficult to setup comprehensive and integrated multimodal transportation systems without a unified organization. In this paper, a new model is setup to assign the ratios of the sub-systems in the comprehensive traffic and transportation system, which lets the optimal coordination of the comprehensive systems.

Determination of Expansion Factors to Estimate Average Annual Daily Traffic for Arterials in Amman

January 2018 · Jordan Journal of Civil Engineering

Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) is an important traffic parameter used in transportation infrastructure planning, as well as in related research activities, such as air quality modeling or noise and vibration modeling. The main objective of this research is to provide expansion factors for arterials in Amman, including the Hourly Expansion Factor (HEF), Weekly Expansion Factor (WEF) and ... [Show full abstract] Monthly Expansion Factor (MEF), which can be used to provide an accurate estimate of AADT from available short-term traffic counts. The analysis was conducted on 8 arterials and 8 intersections in Amman. The obtained expansion factors were validated through random sampling of existing traffic data from permanent traffic counting stations in Amman. Finally, AADT was generated by applying the identified expansion factors and then comparing the values obtained with values described in literature and previous studies using comparable methods for similar roadways. The identified p-factors and expansion factors were found to be compatible to the factors obtained and described in literature.

November 2009

The study examines the causes, effects and possible ameliorative measures of road traffic congestion in some selected areas of Lagos State. Data were elicited with the aid of structured questionnaires which were administered on 125 motorists/drivers and 220 commuters using stratified random sampling technique. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that poor road condition, ... [Show full abstract] accident, inadequate road infrastructure, absence of integrated transport system, inadequate traffic planning and drivers' behaviour had significant contribution of about 70.7% on the traffic congestion in Lagos State.

Performance Measures for Multimodal Transportation Systems

January 1996 · Transportation Research Record Journal of the Transportation Research Board

Transportation systems analyses have been evolving as the decision context for improvement projects and programs has changed. The increased emphasis on the movement of persons and goods, and a recognition of the importance of system performance measures that address the needs and interests of the audiences for mobility information, will result in a very different set of procedures for evaluating ... [Show full abstract] transportation and land use infrastructure and policies. Some of the key underlying concerns of performance measurement for multimodal systems are presented. Definitions are included for congestion, mobility, and accessibility that are used to guide the development of performance measures. Travel time-based measures are seen as the most readily understandable quantities, and examples are used to show how mobility can be measured for locations, corridors, transit analyses, and regional networks.

Hirotada Kohno

This paper focuses on the derivation of the criteria to decide (i) where, (ii) how, and (iii) by what amount, public funds should be allocated to investment in transportation infrastructure such as railways, new trunk lines, highways, expressways, ports, airports etc. The methodology adopted is that of an extended interregional input-output programming model. This approach solves concurrently the ...

An Approach to Ground Transport Superstructure Costs for Istanbul

April 2010 · Teknik Dergi

In this study, superstructure construction and maintenance costs of highway and railway, the most important means of ground transport in urban passenger transportation in Istanbul were analyzed. In this research, only superstructure costs were taken into consideration, infrastructure costs were left out. For the research to be significant, first of all, superstructure construction and maintenance ... [Show full abstract] costs were calculated within the whole area these two systems cover. After that, the services which will be provided to passenger transportation by these systems, namely, expected traffic values in this period were determined. Consequently, the costs for a unit traffic and unit area were found out. The costs of highways were found higher than railway for m(2) and passenger.km except for superstructure construction costs. These results were examined by stating their causes and rates.

Intelligent Vehicle Highway System: Advanced Public Transportation Systems

August 1995 · Mathematical and Computer Modelling

A major program of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 [1] is the Intelligent Vehicle-Highway System (IVHS). This program seeks technological methods to increase the capacity of the existing transportation infrastructure. Although private automobiles are the major focus of the IVHS program, it also seeks improvements in the public transportation system. This paper ... [Show full abstract] addresses the public transportation component, known as the Advanced Public Transportation System (APTS). A future vision of an Advanced Public Transportation System is presented, providing a unifying framework for the proposed enhancements to user services. A “bus hub” structure is presented that increases the quality and attractiveness of the system for users, operators, and traffic managers. Also, the importance of APTS to the goals of the IVHS program are discussed.

Integrated Scheme for Olympic Village Traffic and Parking Arrangements

March 2009 · Journal of Infrastructure Systems

The present study deals with the development of an integrated transportation scheme serving the needs of guests at an Olympic Village during the 2004 Athens Olympics. The Olympic Village was located at the port of Piraeus docks (within the Athens greater area), and was designed to accommodate 13,500 guests. This integrated scheme comprised vehicle and pedestrian traffic arrangements as well as ... [Show full abstract] bus and passenger car parking arrangements. Based on the various transport and security needs of the Olympic guests, the related transportation parameters were estimated, leading to the design of the infrastructure and operation provisions of the various transportation subsystems, including secured areas, and control entrance and exit gates. The final implementation of the proposed integrated scheme together with the special transportation management measures resulted in a high level of service offered to the Olympic guests during the Athens 2004 Olympics, a successful case to be used as an example in other similar cases.

Vasilis Aidas

It was realized long ago that one of the main factors for steady groowing economic of the country is a properly working transport system in which new enough means of cargo transportation, so called intermodal transportation takes not the last place. First of all it raises problems related with the development and optimization of proper infrastructure - the network of roads and terminals which aim ... [Show full abstract] to carry out intermodal transportation. The article deals with one of possible ways of modelling the national intermodal freight transportation network. The basis for such model is the investigation of freight traffic during which we identifY the routes for intermodal freight transportation (as well as places where such freight is shifted from one mode of transport to another), extend the existing statistic date base on modal transport carriages and start to develop a new data base on intermodal freight carriages. With the help of the last one we can go further in modelling national intermodal freight transportation network and determine the steps for creating such network. The main steps should include: • - the integration of the particular modal networks into a general intermodal network; • - the optimization of the network defining optimal routes between possible origin and destination points; • - the estimation of terminal operations to get a more detailed and optimal view of the national intermodal cargo transportation network.
