Emerging Private Sector Roles in Urban Transport: A Case Study of an Innovative Telecom-GIS Solution in Bangalore

Sustainable Strategies for Transportation Development in Emerging Cities in China: A Simulation Approach

“…Therefore, the long-term impacts of transportation development strategies should be properly assessed before their implementation. The urbanization of emerging cities can provide job opportunities, which in turn attract people to migrate to those cities [11]. The increasing population stimulates the development of the local business, which further promotes people's movement and induces the demand for transportation infrastructure [44].…”

“…As the resident trip quantity of private cars, namely, car trip (CT) is assumed as a certain proportion of the total trips (TT) of residents, the quantitative relationship between TT and CT is shown as Equation (11).…”

“…Ownership of more private cars in emerging cities will prompt residents to use private transport. As CN is the main influencing factor of car share proportion (CSP), the quantitative relationship between CN and CSP is shown in Equation 10 As the resident trip quantity of private cars, namely, car trip (CT) is assumed as a certain proportion of the total trips (TT) of residents, the quantitative relationship between TT and CT is shown as Equation (11).…”

“…In the 1990s, this emerging city witnessed a tremendous rise in the number of motor vehicles, which caused serious transport congestion. As the local government could not formulate sustainable transportation strategies fast enough, urban congestion seriously affected local enterprises' productivity and many enterprises moved to other cities [11]. Among the many challenges encountered in emerging cities, the most serious ones include an exponential increase in population, the uncontrolled increase of private vehicles, and insufficient investment in transportation infrastructure, all of which leads to the unsustainable development of emerging cities, especially in Asia [5].…”

Geographic information technology usage in developing countries – A case study in Mozambique

“…Chen, Wu, and Tri (2012) point to problems related to communications with network coverage that have been solved with a GIS model to predict network coverage systems. Ma et al (2009) and Mahesh, Zellner, and Zielinski (2011) justify GIT use with the need to manage the highway network transportation system, which must respond to an increasing population and number of vehicles, and with urban sprawl; as well as with the safe transportation of dangerous freights in safe conditions (Batarlienė 2007).…”
