Modelling a Passenger Car System Based on the Principles of Sustainable Mobility in Vilnius City

Abstract

The growing rate of motorization and the use of passenger cars have a worsening effect on traffic conditions in the streets of Vilnius City. Moreover, adverse urbanisation processes (i.e. migration to suburban areas) make a huge effect on the behaviour of travelling. A deeper analysis of these processes requires large data amounts and techniques for analysing transportation. The study is aimed at preparing and assessing the scenarios of developing passenger car transport through the prism of sustainability indicators. A plan for case study-based hypothetical mobility management explores a series of future scenarios improving transportation diversity and changes in modes for travellers. These scenarios are developed with respect to developments anticipated in the Master Plan of the City of Vilnius and aims at identifying the effect of a new public transport network on the motorized transport system during the morning peak in the hypothetical year 2025. Mobility management through transportation diversity increases travelling options, encourages travellers to choose the most efficient mode and tends to eliminate car dependency that otherwise occurs in urban areas. The development of a public transport route network in Vilnius City creates real preconditions for implementing a sustainable transport system thus giving a priority to the development of a new and fast transport mode. The planned routes of the new transport mode allows significantly reducing the necessity for the use of private motorized transport and influencing the total structure of travels thus making it possible for a large number of people to reach destination by public transport.

An Empirical Activity Sequence Approach for Travel Behavior Analysis in Vilnius City

“…The main approach that helps in seeking the sustainability of transportation systems is Travel Demand Management (also known as Mobility Management), which aims at promoting sustainable transportation by changing traveler behavior [27][28][29].…”

The Influence of Jogjakarta Outer Ring Road Development Plan on the National Roads in DIY

“…There were some research using PTV VISUM as the traffic modeling in some areas such as at Banda Aceh (Hendra, 2017), at Samarinda City (Praditya, 2016), at Bangka island (Yunus, 2018), at Palembang city (Fuady, 2015 andArliansyah, 2017) and at Yogyakarta to predict the effect of airport relocation to the surrounds road network at Ypgyakarta (Fitrada, Munawar, and Dewanti 2019). Also, modelling the flows of the traffic with some scenarios, especially the changes of road network or pattern, also held in order to reach better performance (Grigonis, 2014, Taplin, 1999, and Yatski, 2007. Therefore, in order to identify the transformation pattern that occurs along with the construction of JORR, a study on the performance of existing roads is an urgency, which is referred to V/C ratio of national roads as by modeled PTV VISUM.…”

The Impact of Cost-Benefit Analysis on Decision Making Concerning the Development of the Urban Transport System: Case of Kaunas City

“…Multi-criteria analysis is an acknowledged technique for assessing sustainability at the neighbourhood level. Cost-benefit analysis is mainly used for infrastructure and large transformation projects (Beria et al 2012;Grigonis et al 2014;Grigonis, Paliulis 2007;Gühnemann et al 2012).…”
