Investigating Sustainability Indicators for Urban Road Network — A Methodical Review Literature

Abstract

Transportation that is both socially and environmentally responsible is an important factor in climate change. However, urban sustainable mobility schemes have no universally accepted success criteria. Sustainability evaluation lacks a common language. This document groups sustainable mobility strategies to establish critical transport performance measures. Sustainable transportation trumps targets, criteria, and indicators. The following are the top priorities for urban multimodal sustainable transportation, in descending order: There are 13 social, 11 economic, and 9 environmental criteria. Each of the three basic criteria used most often in the study specifically addresses the environment. Since the literature’s attribution of criteria to sustainability elements is complex, it’s recommended to analyze their interrelationships. As previously demonstrated, small and medium-sized cities have a high sustainability value of in terms of population and urban area, but large cities can improve their sustainability by controlling urban sprawl and managing urban transportation demand with adequate public transportation. It is proposed that in the future, the interrelationships between the criteria be evaluated, as their allocation to the aspects of sustainability is ambiguous in the available literature. This article can assist mobility executives in making decisions about urban transportation concepts and project management. Making transportation more environmentally friendly is crucial to reducing climate change’s negative impacts.
