SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY DIAGNOSIS: APPLICABILITY OF A COMPOSITE INDEX

Persuasive Technologies for Sustainable Urban Mobility

In recent years, the persuasive interventions for inducing sustainable urban mobility behaviours has become a very active research field. This review paper systematically analyses existing approaches and prototype systems and describes and classifies the persuasive strategies used for changing behaviour in the domain of transport. It also studies the results and recommendations derived from pil...

Sustainable Intersection Control Accommodating Urban Freight Mobility

15. Supplementary Notes Supported by a Grant From the U.S. Department of Transportation, University Transportation Centers Program 16. Abstract In this research, we studied green extension of a two-phased vehicle−actuated signal at an isolated intersection between two one-way streets.

Cybercars for Sustainable Urban Mobility - A European Collaborative Approach

We know that the existing urban transport systems based on the private vehicle (necessarily relying mostly on fossil fuels) are not sustainable in terms of energy and land needs. On the other hand, public transportation systems are also not very efficient and do not provide a good service anywhere and anytime. Over the last twenty years, a new concept has emerged through strong cooperation betw...

Benchmarking Urban Sustainability - a Composite Index for Mumbai and Bangalore

The study investigates whether the present pattern of urban development in India in the creation of mega cities is sustainable and what it can learn from the global megacities. This has been done by comparing the two Indian cities Mumbai and Bangalore with selected mega cities of the worlds representing different stages of development (Shanghai, London, and Singapore) using an indicator-based a...
