This paper aims to identify commuters’ perceptions towards the metro-bus service system considering various social constraints, mobility incentives and restrictions, and personal norms. A questionnaire survey was designed, which consisted of the personal information of respondents, travel properties, and preferences with the metro-bus system. This survey was conducted in Lahore city, and a total of 333 samples were obtained. The findings of the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) revealed that the social constraints in traveling, public transport incentives, and specific parking restrictions have a significant influence on commuters’ moral obligations to reduce traffic congestion, mitigate environmental menaces, and protect natural resources. The ANOVA and SEM analysis showed that significant differences exist among low-, middle-, and high-income commuters in terms of their behavioral intentions towards the metro-bus service. These findings implicate that specific incentives on the use of public transport modes and parking restrictions are useful in changing the behavioral intentions of travelers towards transit modes such as the metro-bus service.

“…However, due to a lack of proper planning, the least involvement of the stakeholders, politically motivated decisions, poor infrastructure designs and lack of technological advancements [10], developing countries are finding it difficult to devise feasible infrastructure designs where fewer resources are allocated and no major design revision is considered at the later stages [11]. Improving the traffic signal timings and operation types can have a good impact on traffic delay and smoothen the traffic flow [12]. Ali et al [13] investigated that providing a roundabout in signalized corridors can improve the traffic flow and reduce delay time, thus improving the LOS.…”

Implementation of Different Traffic Management Strategies on Major Roads for the Improvement of Traffic Flow in Lahore City

Traffic congestion causes many socio-economic problems in developing nations. One of the main causes of traffic congestion can be attributed to poor design practices. In the last few years, Lahore city has expanded haphazardly where the allocation of resources was done based on political will instead of feasible design practices. This haphazard growth coupled with a poor design resulted in traffic congestion on the main roads of the city. In this study, simulations using different traffic management design strategies were carried out on major roads to check if traffic delays and Level of Service (LOS) can be improved. The most feasible designs based on the simulated results were proposed for the improvement of the existing infrastructure designs. These findings suggested that Akbar Chowk and Jinnah Hospital Intersection have greatly reduced the traffic delay time by 92.97% and 92.67%, respectively. Policymakers can utilize these simulated results for future design guidelines to accommodate the future growth of traffic on these arterial roads.

“…Transportation planners and policymakers have long been proponents of different ways and tactic to cope with a still rising mobility challenge in order to provide comfortable and rapid access to the center of the city without waiting in line for a road space. These measures depend on local mobility characteristics, but generally include the decentralization of public and business areas, the reduction of private car use and the development of public transportation system, the construction and reconstruction of new streets and roads, the development and application of traffic and parking management policy and optimization of access control to city centers for different user groups [5,6]. Currently, Moscow agglomeration is characterized by good mobility potential in public transport, which at the moment is one of the main transportation modes of the population.…”

A statistical analysis of energy and power demand for the tractive purposes of an electric vehicle in urban traffic -an analysis of a short and long observation period G Slaski and B Ohde -Managing smart-city transportation planning of " Park-and- Abstract. Large cities, whereby people use private transport, are facing the same challenges related to traffic congestion, reliability of public transportation and parking demand. Managing urban traffic and transport has become the most relevant police in transport planning. The article deals with the potential for further implementation in Russian Federation of «Park-andRide» recognized as an essential part of the overall transport and parking offer and successful planning tool to reducing congestion for any urban area around the world. The studies have been carried out in Moscow acknowledged as the city core of Moscow agglomeration -the largest and most populous in Russia. The research aims to support for the development of «Park-and-Ride» system applying the methodical approach adapted by the authors for the study to make it relevant for cities. A three-steps access control is offered to reduce private cars use in the city center. The results of the studies shows that such traffic management tool can help successfully in balancing the traffic demand and supply and, consequently, in resolving transport congestion and the number of coherent social, urban and economic challenges addressed to the sustainable development of urban areas.
