“…The traffic congestion phenomenon is a reflection of the people who prefer to use private cars as an essential mode of transport to destination [3], which is noted in Baghdad city as large numbers of individuals prefer the private auto and lately, it mostly becomes the main mode used. Also, the public transport service suffers from a lack of infrastructure, which in turn leads to increase travel time and the cost of operating vehicles, and many other adverse effects which all lead to a decrease the accessibility in the city [4]. A study in London showed that the accessibility by using private autos is the least cost mode, however, the other planned public transport modes can effectively reduce the cost and provide more sustainable transport alternatives [5].…”

Baghdad city depended on the private auto in transport and this led to great problems with increasing congestion and traffic problems. Existing public transport suffers from poor accessibility to opportunities which is considered the main existing problem. The local agency decided to construct Baghdad Elevated Train as one of the keys to solve this problem and decrease congestion. This study aims to discuss the changes that the installing of the planned train line could make, by using the Geographical Information System (GIS) to model the transportation networks (sidewalks, public transport network, and the planned elevated train) for two scenarios, first for the current public transport network and second for the long-term situation of the adding of the planned train, furthermore, to find the coverage area for each station and determine the population can be served for each station depending on the census of the zones for the year 2020. The modeled network databases were used to create the closest facility between the centroid of the 43 zones and the selected facilities (Commercial, Educational, Governmental, and Hospitals). The results revealed that the additional service of the train reduced the travel time between Al-Sadr City to four destinations selected for the mentioned facilities by the following percentages (62%, 40%, 46%, and 65%) respectively. Moreover, the population coverage stated that stations 8, 9, and 10 are the most populated.

“…The rapid developments with low or inefficient planning produce high disadvantages that affect the city's urban morphology, city economies, transportation networks, and even private investments. The number of car owners has increased dramatically in recent decades globally, and Iraq in particular [1]. Ignoring the provision of suitable parking demand spaces for different land uses types would be led to a set number of parking spaces arbitrarily.…”

Parking demand rates are one of the essential keys to urban city planning around the world. Most cities produced the most suitable parking rates, and models relied on their local conditions, regulations, and people’s habits. In Iraq, there is a lack of parking studies, and therefore, there is a lot of missing information which if be found, will be very valuable for better enhancing and managing the transportation network system. Institutional land use or Government Ministries are the land use type in which this research tries to find its parking generation rates. The goal is to produce models and rates for parking generation by using certain independent variables according to the characteristics of the land-use type. The research study area is the urban areas outside Baghdad CBD. Several sites were selected located in different parts of Baghdad. The number of study sites is three. The collected data about sites are the total number of site employees, site gross floor area, and maximum parked vehicles at each site for an Am and Pm period. Each site has a clear parking lot; besides, the sites were selected relied on particular criteria. The field survey was done at each site for defining days and times. The final stage is a data analysis and producing parking generation rates and models to determine the required parking demand for this land-use type. Statistical analysis of data, model generation, was done by the computer program (SPSS). It concluded that the institutional land use produced 0.94 spaces per 100 m2 of GFA and 0.1 spaces per employee.

“…Understanding the assembly pattern of the truck's trip ends (production and attractions) can aid in the optimal placement of such facilities in space [1]. In recent years, Baghdad's car ownership rate has risen by 5.5 percent since 2003, before stabilizing at 3.5 percent in 2006 [2]. The rapid rise of private vehicles contrasts with the rapid growth of truckers, which is worsening the situation in Baghdad's general province [3].…”

In determining the economy of the region, freight transportation plays a major role. Usually, efficient freight distribution networks take care of reducing the cost of transporting goods to and from transportation facilities. The purpose of this analysis is to find an alternative route for the Jisr Diyala entrance, using aggregate freight data and Spatial Analysis techniques from GIS, in particular, to analyze the travel pattern of intercity truck traffic. Shipping data is obtained through roadside surveys and interviews which represent the primary source of data for this study. The study concludes by determining the best route for trucks, which reflects the current path in fact, and proposing a path to split trucks from small vehicles to avoid the current problem, as the questionnaires revealed that the largest amount of goods type was for construction materials by 32%, with the majority of commercial areas intended for users. The path and the study of the paths that link them. Using GIS techniques, various assessments of freight demand are made, and producing this analysis is helpful for decision-makers to apply the right decisions.
