This article provides an overview of the influences of motorization trends on urban residents’ travel patterns in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area (JMA) in the last decade. The performance of the first year of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system implementation, as a way to suppress motorization in JMA, is also described. It is found that the trend of motorization has already become a critical issue...

Inner-city transportation looms large in big cities the so-called Global South due to rapid population and urban growth. To tackle this challenge, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system was implemented Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) 2016. This paper reports on results of pilot study impacts BRT city development livelihoods Dar. Our study, which is part collaborative research project LIPSINDAR (Linking Part...

Abstract Bus rapid transit (BRT) vehicles are common microenvironments in urban areas. In some cities, these BRT diesel-powered, which makes them highly pollutant. Recent studies report high levels and exposure risk to particulate matter vehicles. Nevertheless, extensive research has yet be published, including gaseous pollutants (e.g., CO). CO) not been published. This aims evaluate the self-p...

Bus rapid transit (BRT) is characterized by higher speed, comfort level, and larger capacity than conventional bus service. Although many cities worldwide have adopted BRT in recent years, there an absence of scientific quantitative approach for network planning. The problem planning existing transportation very complex with constraints road geometrics, regulations, right way, travel demand, ve...

The unbalanced nature of passenger demand and the uncertainty delay at intersections are considered critical factors in efficiency public transportation operations. Considering controllable characteristics bus rapid transit system (BRT), an integrated optimization model that includes multi-mode scheduling signal timing is proposed. robust copes with fluctuations operation. A non-linear programm...

Introduction Due both its increasing emissions inventory and lack of effective environmental policies, Bogota, Colombia’s capital and largest city, has become one of the most air polluted cities in Latin America. During the last 10 years, annual concentration of PM10 has exceeded the standard in several parts of the city. The decline in the city’s air quality is explained by technological and p...

The bus system in a high-speed public transportation systems are equipped with modern technology that due to accuracy, speed and flexibility have been considered as one of the improvement solutions in Tehran's public transport system. In this article the performance of BRT line three of Tehran has been evaluated based on the established standard in 2013, developed by the Institute for Developme...

Fast growing economies are paralleled with extensive sprawl and an increasing trend in auto-mobilization. Hence there is a direct effect on the travel demand on transport systems. Cities are confronted by challenges to achieve sustainable alternatives to the benign effects of the private motorcar. The move from an auto-oriented city towards a lesser car reliant city is of dire need. The ways in...
