“…The reason for and the effort to develop 'sustainable transport' is also discussed by Goldman and Gorham (2006). They state that projects and discussions in this area tend to fall into two categories: those that envision sustainable transport as a pathway, and those that envision it as an end state.…”

“…The problem with both the adopted definition from the European Commission and the Goldman and Gorham (2006) discussion are that, they fail to show the actors involved and the causes for the consequences of unsustainable urban transport. They also fail to show the role of the actors' performance in the causal chain-linking actors' performance with the impacts.…”

This paper presents a definition of sustainable urban freight transport (SUFT), based on the existing theories and concepts, and develops an indicator set that describes SUFT. The definition of SUFT makes a categorisation of actions possible which enables actors to select effective strategies towards SUFT. The indicator set consists of two levels: impact indicators Á which describe how the urban freight transport violates the principles of sustainability; and performance indicators Á which describe different categories determining the characteristics and performance of the urban transport system. A literature study analyses the characteristics determining the performance of actors in the urban freight transport chain. Knowing the current state and improvement potential of the urban freight transport system are prerequisites for defining successful strategies and implementing effective actions.

“…Here stakeholders have to collaborate to implement its principles in the cities [16]. The concept of sustainable development led to new concepts, including: sustainable transport [28], sustainable urban transport [16], environmentally sustainable transport [29], sustainable low carbon transport [30], sustainable cities [31], and co-benefits [32].…”

“…Several concepts of global climate change and local air pollution control have received increased attention in academic literature, e.g., sustainable urban transportation [15,16]. Another approach, which deals simultaneously with both the global and the local problems, is the so-called co-benefits approach [17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Incorporating Air Quality Improvement at a Local Level into Climate Policy in the Transport Sector: A Case Study in Bandung City, Indonesia

Abstract:Climate policy has a strong influence on policy processes at national levels in Indonesia, while other policies with a focus on air quality improvement are being implemented at local levels. Indonesia as a developing country has committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 29 percent by the year 2030. This calls into question the extent to which cities and local governments can cope with the challenges of climate change mitigation. The purpose of the research is to find out the extent to which local air pollution reduction policies can contribute to the climate change mitigation program. The research design involved an empirical case study on governance and policy relevant to climate change efforts to lower GHG in Bandung City, Indonesia. The study evaluated the air quality improvement and the climate change mitigation programs using the actor-based framework of the Contextual Interaction Theory (CIT). The governance and stakeholder characteristic of climate change mitigation were also analysed using the structural context part of the CIT framework. The result shows that air quality improvement policy is implemented separately from climate policy; the latter operates at the national level and the former at the local level. By looking at the actor interaction analysis, the study concludes that a more holistic environmental policy approach would be more efficient at reducing local air pollution and contributing to the mitigation of climate change.

“…Furthermore, ITS will not solve all of our transportation problems and might exacerbate some, especially environmental costs (Goldman and Gorham 2006). Consequently, an overall transportation policy mix that addresses both system and economic-social inefficiencies must be comprehensively thought (Kanninen 1996, pp.…”

Identification of new added value services on intelligent transportation systems

The evolution of electronics and the growing capabilities of in-vehicle and public infrastructure equipment make feasible the development of new value-added services in the field of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). However, initiatives in this sense frequently failed due to the lack of agreement or coordination among service providers, public authorities and final users. This article proposes a scientific method based on concept mapping techniques to extract these value-added services. The main benefit of the proposed methodology is its ability to take into account the different points of view of the main actors involved in the transportation field. Obtained results will provide the general guidelines for future ITS services.
