The poor connectivity from one mode of transportation to another results in discomfort, time delays, and an increase in transportation costs. This project aims to provide a comprehensive mobility plan based on land use maps and parametric data collection for the problem faced. In this paper, a proposal is presented for Integrated mobility planning in Parandur, Kanchipuram site selected by the government for construction of new airport, focusing on green spaces at roundabout intersections as integral parts of larger landscape systems, creating green infrastructure. The integrated mobility plan is developed using various software which is used for land use mapping, locating existing transportation systems, and developing plan. It will explore how integrated mobility planning can be improved through a holistic approach, considering the different modes of transport and their interconnections, and identifying ways to make integrated mobility planning more accessible and sustainable. As a result, the schematic integrated mobility for Parandur is developed by optimizing the problems faced by the commuters. This study can help the government and stakeholders with decision-making for implementing integrated mobility planning, to promote equitable access to commuters with better transportation services.

“…Analysis of the passenger transport sector already shows that the policy push for e-vehicles will only reduce GHG emissions if the electricity generated to power these vehicles is produced in a clean manner, i.e. the electricity generation mix needs to have a large share of renewables [ 88 ]. Fostering the replacement of traditional truck fleets with ETs and CATs through incentive schemes and tax reductions will significantly reduce the negative externalities of freight transport.…”

Freight traffic fulfils not only the business needs of a region to move goods between producers, manufacturers, and end consumers, but also creates a host of unintended environmental, social, and economic impacts. Despite its importance, freight traffic impacts and associated logistic inefficiencies are largely overlooked in the urban transport discussions in developing economies like India. This paper addresses this research gap by outlining the research progress related to freight transport in India and discusses the key problems related to freight system performance. The published literature in the last three decades (1990–2020), policy briefs and institutional reports are explored to summarize key findings and uncover thematic linkages. We categorize the inefficiencies in the freight system into four aspects: (i) long-haul trucking, (ii) last-mile logistics, (iii) freight distribution (inventory level), and (iv) policies and regulations. Apart from identifying the limitations in policy discourse, this paper also explores the possible solution concepts to improve efficiency in freight transport and mitigate the unintended negative externalities in urban areas. The overall conclusion is that increasing and improving infrastructure and equipment, technology and operations, and policy and regulations will go some way towards making freight more efficient in India and reducing congestion and emissions of air pollutants and GHG. The present paper can be expected to promote further freight research and effective policy instrument design in India.
