“…Motorization rate consequently grew by more than 30% in East Berlin within a year and a half, while public transport ridership declined significantly until 1994, with subsequent urban sprawl becoming manifest (Bertaud, 2006;Wolf, 1994). By the beginning of the 21st century, Berlin, due to its dynamic spatial distribution of jobs and residential areas, had lost around 270,000 inhabitants to the suburbs and its hinterland (Miyamoto et al, 2004).…”

This paper concentrates explicitly on examining the structural and functional transformations occurring within the metropolitan area of Bucharest, resulting from sustained economic growth during the past quarter century, by conducting a time analysis, spanning the entire period since the fall of the communist regime in late 1989.Cities in developed countries of Western Europe and Asia experienced rapid economic growth during the second half of the 20th century and exhibited novel patterns of evolution in terms of urban form and associated functional characteristics. Lately, these patterns have become manifest in Bucharest as well. However, transformations in human, social, residential, and transportation supply capital are difficult to observe directly. Hence, our methodology concentrates on studying interactions between several proxies connected to economic development within the metropolitan area of Bucharest. This paper should be read as an exploratory study that buttresses the assumption that improved economic well-being, when accompanied by the transition between a centrally planned economy to a market economy, increases motorization rates, while at the same time triggering a sharp decline in the use of public transport and contributing to aggressive urban sprawl processes. Moreover, hopefully it will guide future research dedicated to forecasting urban expansion paths and their determinants. Hopefully, it also informs policy design intended to promote sustainable urban mobility and accessibility.

“…Studies that focus on the effects of TDM policy mixes represent a limited though expanding area of research, as shown in Table 2. Combined with building more public transport infrastructure in Berlin, the information provision policies further increase the attractiveness of public transport (Miyamoto et al, 2004). Bueno 's (2017) study discovers that subsidies for private cars have a significant negative impact on the use of public transportation or cycling.…”

“…A recent study in rush hour traffic congestion concluded that globally, Mexico City is the second worst city for rush hour traffic after Bangkok, Thailand. Likewise, it has been approximated that, in the chaotic Aztec capital, a journey during the rush hour may take more than 58 minutes, instead of an average 30 minutes travel time respecting the speed limit [16,17]. Accidents and other disruptions can further affect the travel time between relatively close locations.…”

Background: Organ transportation between hospitals has many challenges since the harvested organ needs to be transplanted to the recipient within an optimal time frame. It is important to transfer the organ from the donor to the recipient site quickly and professionally. Aim: The aim of this research is to investigate whether the transportation of donated hearts by drones is more efficient than transportation using road-bound vehicles. Methods: A simulation using MatLab software was performed to calculate the heart transportation time between three different hospitals in Mexico City by road-bound vehicles and by drones. This simulation was performed to demonstrate how congestion and traffic in Mexico City prevent healthy hearts from being transplanted to patients on time. The 24-hour period was divided into four 5-hour periods and these were chosen to be: Period 1 (22:00-03:00), Period 2 (04:00-09:00), Period 3 (10:00-15:00) and Period 4 (16:00-21:00). Results: The time it took to travel between the hospitals by car within each of the 5-hour periods was calculated. It was observed that, in period 2, a high volume of traffic was present causing road-bound vehicles to take a longer time to deliver hearts to hospitals. All hospitals were within reach of each other if the hearts were to be transported by drone and the delivery time by drone in all cases was less than 1.88 hours, which is the optimum time for the harvested heart to be transported without risk from the donor to the recipient. Conclusion: Using drones will increase the safety of transplants, reduce the heart transplantation waiting list and eventually, heart transplantation may be possible in different areas of the city at rush hour times.
