Sustainability of the Urban Transport System under Changes in Weather and Road Conditions Affecting Vehicle Operation

Abstract

The paper suggests a methodological approach for assessing the sustainability of the urban transport system. Parameters were selected for assessing the sustainability of the transport system and significant factors affecting sustainability were determined. Parameters of the sustainability of the system when changes in the weather and road conditions affect vehicle operation were estimated on the basis of the simulation modeling. An integral indicator of sustainability was introduced to evaluate the sustainability of the transport flow management subsystem and the methodological approach to its calculation was substantiated. The results from changing the parameters of the traffic flow were demonstrated in the case of a significant amount of precipitation and the constraints put on the movement of vehicles on the road infrastructure unit due to snow-removal operations and road traffic accidents. Also, the parameters of road traffic under the reconstruction of the main street of regulated traffic into a street of uninterrupted traffic were presented.

The Complexity of Space Utilization and Environmental Pollution Control in the Main Corridor of Makassar City, South Sulawesi, Indonesia

“…The quantitative approach in this study emphasizes measuring results objectively and uses measurement data in the field. Furthermore, quantitative methods are used to collect a dataset in order to generalize and explain the phenomena developing in the field [57][58][59]. The measurement scale used is ordinal and interval.…”

The competition was won by the Institute of Territorial Planning "Grad" (Omsk).…”

Forecasting the Accident Frequency and Risk Factors: A Case Study of Erzurum, Turkey

“…Road geometry, traffic flow and seatbelt wearing behavior, for instance, have been identified as the main reasons for accidents [3,4]. However, extensive literature [5][6][7][8] is available concerning accident prediction techniques depending on independent road and traffic features, while the mix factors including time, geometry, traffic flow and weather conditions are still rarely ever taken into consideration.…”
