“…Most of this funding is being invested in developing the country's infrastructure, including the building of a new airport and port, new rail and metro lines, and a state-of-the-art road network. The transformation of Qatar into a modern country is also a part of Qatar Vision 2030, which has the long-term goal of creating a sustainable, state-of-the-art country, raising the standard of living, and achieving increased economic growth by using the country's human and natural resources [ [33] , [34] ]. The infrastructure investment includes mega-transport projects, coupled with the expansion of the tourism sector and real estate new-builds, to diversify the economy.…”

“…Based on research (Purba et al, 2020), income and expenses on transportation attributes are the factors that most significantly influence route selection by road users when deciding to travel on toll roads. (Abulibdeh, 2022) examined the effect of the average WTP of respondents on the frequency of trips and travel destinations of the most widely used toll roads. As a result, there is no significant difference in respondents' WTP when experiencing congestion at the same fare on the four main toll roads in the city.…”

The Indonesian government has attempted to reduce traffic congestion on toll roads by implementing a non-cash toll transaction system that has been valid on all Indonesian toll roads since October 2017. However, heavy traffic that causes traffic congestion on toll roads in urban areas often occurs. This study aimed to find out the factors that affect the development of the toll transaction system and the extent to which vehicles will be distributed through the preferences of road users to choose to enter the toll road or not. This research method used a quantitative descriptive approach with online and offline surveys through Stated Preference. Respondents were class I – V vehicle users who crossed Prof. Dr. Ir. Soedijatmo Toll Road with the direction of travel from the Jakarta Intra Urban Toll Road. The results of the study indicated that the implementation of contactless cashless toll transactions (Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)) can reduce the interest of road users to enter toll roads if fines are imposed, but on the other hand road users are still highly interested in entering toll road because there is a toll transaction time cut service. In the congestion pricing scenario, there was an increase in the distribution of traffic volume because the number of vehicles decreased along with the reduced interest of road users to enter the toll road due to the higher toll rate increase.

“…As a result, experts consider public acceptance to be a necessary precondition for the successful implementation of such strategies. Cities such as New York, Manchester, and Edinburgh have reported a lack of public support for congestion pricing policies (Abulibdeh, 2022).…”

This research investigated various factors related to different mobility improvements based on individual socioeconomic variables. In this study, two sustainable mobility scenarios have been suggested to be implemented in the Central Business District (CBD) area, in which the traffic situation is severely congested. These new mobility improvements are vehicle-free zones and congestion pricing. The two options have been studied and investigated using the binary decision tree method. The main aim of the study is to identify which mobility options are preferred by different groups of people in the city. This will reveal public opinion about the future change in mobility in the city. With the help of the Python programming language and the idea of machine-learning represented by the Decision Tree method, several trials were carried out to get the desired and accurate outcome from the public participation. The study findings showed that the "age" and "gender" variables are significant decision-making factors, whereas the number of trips and mode of transport have no effect on the choice set
