“…Several studies highlight the promotion of sustainable transport systems for the sustainability of cities and the population's well-being (Gupta & Vagelin, 2016;Mundorf et al, 2018;Farzaneh et al, 2019). Accordingly, the energy matrix, control emissions, and fuel quality need to be modified, and transport has a fundamental role (Cruz & Katz-Gerro, 2016;Bakker et al, 2017;Franco & Tracey, 2019).…”

This paper aims to propose indicators to measure Brazilian transport systems' impact on meeting the 2030 Agenda and to analyze advances of Brazilian transport systems in terms of sustainable development over the last decade. The proposed indicators were based on a literature review and data availability. Time series data (2010-2019) were obtained to analyze the situation of Brazil. From 27 proposed indicators, only 12 showed some evolution based on the before-after method, relating to improvements in cleaner transport modes, such as railways and waterways, in exclusive lanes for public transport, and in improving active transport infrastructure. This scenario presents Brazil's challenges over the next ten years to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the 2030 Agenda. Results reinforce the importance of the transport sector to contribute to the world's sustainable development. Therefore, this paper contributes to improving the analysis hereafter of this thematic.

This paper reviews transportation sustainability from theoretical and experiential approaches collected from previous journal papers and books published on the latest ten years. Application of sustainable policies was faced many problems and limitations. This study assigns the available literature researches related to theoretical and applied sustainability in transportation and road construction fields in addition to self-organized steps. Also, the transport sustainability issues, aspects, visions, challenges, and benefits have been presented. Finally, it discusses the future theoretical and experiential research approaches that can connect the current long-winded literature on transportation sustainability which may generate a number of probable future research directions.

Through urban planning and municipal administration, a sustainable city seeks to solve issues of social, environmental, and economic effect. By integrating environmentally friendly options into local infrastructure, many sustainable efforts are made possible. Vehicle emissions from the road traffic have always been considered one of the most significant sources of global issues due to their harmful effects on the environment and human beings. Additionally, it is currently a concern for sustainability, especially in urban areas. This matter has inspired the researchers to simulate various systems to identify factors and provide solutions for the issue of emission. In this study, VISSIM software was utilised to develop a traffic simulation to estimate emissions level at Ayer Hitam’s signalised intersection in reference to the intersection type as an independent factor. The signalised intersection and a roundabout were chosen to represent controlled and uncontrolled intersections. It aimed to compare the difference in emissions level between the signalised intersection and roundabout. The results of this study show that roundabouts are more effective in enhancing traffic flow than signalised intersections in terms of travel time, delay, queueand have 48.59% lower for (CO), (NOx) and (VOC) emission. An improvement in vehicleemissions results from thisstudy indicates that roundabouts have the potential to contribute to a more sustainabletransportation system and sustainable city.
