Electrified vehicles (EVs) couple transportation and electrical infrastructures, impacting vehicle sustainability, transportation resiliency, and electrical grid stability. These impacts occur across timescales; grid stability at the millisecond scale, resiliency at the daily scale, and sustainability over years and decades. Integrated models of these systems must share data to explore timescal...

Parking spaces play a vital role in the transportation system. Parking policies ensure the efficient of the transportation system and the management of traffic demand. Illegal parking practice can hamper sustainability of transportation system. This paper attempts to analyze the illegal parking behavior in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia. Car parking in the city of Jeddah is largely uncontrolled and ...

land use planning is the main core of urban planning and one of the main components of an urban system. this element has close relation with transportation system of the city, so if their interaction becomes insufficient, deterioration and chaos would have an adverse impact on the urban system and would cause serious environmental issues. the integrated land use-transportation models seem to b...

This article develops a Sustainability Informatics Framework, a framework that connects Information Technology with sustainability and is based on the Belief-Action-Outcome and Energy Informatics frameworks. The triple-bottom line (People, Planet, and Profit) is adopted as a criterion for measuring sustainability and three sustainability indices are first formulated and then visualized using Su...

The legislation of ISTEA and CAAA in the early 1990s have significant impacts on the notion of sustainable transportation planning. Their provisions allow local communities to implement planning strategies towards the goals of sustainable development. Meanwhile, there has been increasing recognition of the need to establish instruments to evaluate the progress of the implementation of sustainab...

Two concepts are essential to a definition of a healthy community: social justice and ecological sustainability. These principles must be at the heart of creating healthy communities, cities, and regions. Children and young people are an integral part of socially just and ecologically sustainable communities. Transportation and land-use policies are critical tools for shaping healthy communitie...
