“…The increasing population stimulates the development of the local business, which further promotes people's movement and induces the demand for transportation infrastructure [44]. The implementation of transportation projects brings with it an increase of investment in transportation infrastructure, which further stimulates economic growth [7,45]. It can be seen that there are complex causal relationships between social economic growth and transport supply and demand in an emerging city.…”

“…This is evidenced by insufficient transport facilities, inefficient transport systems, urban congestion, and tail gas and noise pollution. As this situation is more serious in emerging cities in China, it is a pressing issue for policy makers in such cities to develop appropriate urban transportation systems to ensure that the cities will be able to develop sustainably [7]. There are reports suggesting that emerging cities can only enjoy a few more years of booming times because of unsustainable transportation systems.…”

With the rapid development of emerging cities in China, policy makers are faced with the challenges involved in devising strategies for providing transportation systems to keep pace with development. These challenges are associated with the interactive effects among a number of sophisticated factors involved in transportation systems. This paper presents a system dynamics simulation approach to analyze and select transportation development strategies in order to achieve good sustainability performance once they are implemented. The simulation approach consists of three modules: a socioeconomic module, a demand module, and a supply module. The approach is validated through applying empirical data collected from the Shenzhen statistical bulletins. Three types of transport development strategies are selected for the city and examined for their applicability and effects through simulation. The strategies are helpful for reducing decision-making mistakes and achieving the goal of sustainable urban development in most emerging cities.

“…Under varying street layout rules, their procedure results in a novel mixture of regular and irregular (but orthogonal) grids to fill a specified space. Zhao et al (2015) focus on population's role in stimulating the growth of the road system. A new network is generated by solving a series of location problems.…”

The objective is to automate the design of residential layouts as an aid for planners dealing with complex situations. The algorithm COULD, applied to sites with various shapes, is guided by the goal of many mutually accessible residences and can be set to generate orthogonal or irregular road layouts. Using biological principles of genomic equivalence, conditional differentiation and induction, it grows from an embryonic 'adaptive cell' into a plan. Cells are 'genetically identical' with full development potential and can simultaneously lay roads and residential lots, using the gene set to change cell expression and adapt to local contexts. Cells can be seen as self-propagating agents that sort out their dependencies through local interactions. When COULD is set to grow a non-orthogonal layout, the plan has winding roads and irregular residential lots. Such a plan achieves the objective of relatively high residential density and accessibility, leading to walkable and coherent communities.

“…With the critical role of urban tra c networks in the urban economy, the characteristics and properties of urban tra c network topology have recently gained increasing attention [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Scholars have presented in-depth discussions of the process of tra c planning and design from the perspectives of network topology, tra c ow, tra c congestion, network evolution, cascade failure, and network optimization [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Previous urban traffic network-based studies have been based mostly on single-layer networks. Based on their shortcomings, starting from the perspective of a multilayer urban traffic network, this paper takes the different anticongestion abilities and network characteristics of various network structures under the condition of traffic congestion as the research object. Then, a comparative experiment is performed via simulation, and the optimal multilayer urban traffic network topology is obtained under different conditions. It is found that these scale-free related multilayer networks have relatively strong ability to support more traffic flows and have higher anticongestion abilities, regardless of whether it is a lower-layer or upper-layer network. The research results are helpful to deepen our understanding of the characteristics of traffic network structures, help scholars further cognize the structural properties of multilayer urban traffic networks, practically help urban traffic network planners to further optimize the urban traffic network, and broaden the study of multilayer traffic networks.
