Sustainable Cities: Methods of Measurement Sustainable Transport
Topics Journey of the Future in a Smart City International Perspective and benchmarking Development of PuT Hierarchy Review networks and plans Develop the Public Transport Services First and Last Mile Solutions Motorised / Non Motorised solutions Challenges
Always start with your clients clients – the end users. Today it is all about scenario planning for total journey connectivity
International Perspective and Innovation Benchmarking - an intelligence-based data gathering process used to identify “gaps” or gain insight on best practices in PuT organisations visions and mission No one size fits all. The emphasis will be on taking the most innovative and latest technological and automation, developments, human behaviors studies implemented in the chosen PuT systems and applying them in the ME context. So how do you go about resolving Smart City Transport issues?
Review Network and Plans • Market Analysis inc land use / travel patterns / current supply and demand / user groups • Identification of current issues • Existing bus, taxi, marine route and network evaluation and private transport • Use existing Transport Masterplans to: −
Analyse the current supply and demand
−
Assess and compare main PuT
−
Forecast future PuT demand
−
Forecast future fleet and infrastructure requirement and configuration
−
Inform CAPEX and OPEX
• This process is being undertake today for the 2020, 2025 and 2030 timeframes in the UAE
Development of Transport Backbone and Feeder Services Consideration must be given to the following during the development of Sustainable Transport Solutions − Not removing but limiting the use of private motorised transport – in the future this will be partially AV based − Current Rail, Metro, LRT and bus services, coverage, scheduling and fleet composition − Rationalisation and integration of current services − Feeder service − Integrated facilities to provided easy transfer − Investigate opportunities to attract car users onto public transport
Development of First / Last Mile Solutions Dubai has a stated aim to have 25% of all journeys being made to be “driverless: by 2030. Masdar is developing the next phase of the driverless vehicle transit network service Masdar City Autonomous Transit Systems (ATS) provide transport on demand or at a high frequency. Referred to as “Last / First mile” transport solutions they are capable of moving up to 3 000 people per hour over distances up to 5km. Ideally suited as feeder systems to and from public transport nodes and parking facilities.
Development of Automotive / Non Motorised Scenarios Traditional transport modelling is not generally conducive to accurately capture taxi, limo, car sharing, ride sharing and non-motorised Human trips The nature of these types of trips are more “obscure” than traditional trips Human non-motorised mobility in a city combines social interactions, daily constraints and random explorations. Data that captures high-fidelity human movements (on non-motorised modes) helps us design ‘intelligent’ mobility systems The presence of new information and communication technologies provide big data sources that are allowing novel research and applications related to human mobility

Revenue Generation.
Some of the Challenges • Achieving desired modal shift to Public Transport • Modal integration (Metro, BRT, P&R, First / Last Mile, Motorised / Non-Motorised) • Full journey connectivity • Urban insertion / integration • Expanded use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) • Improve “Branding” and “Communication” of the service • Improve overall customer experience • Produce a sustainable, financially viable Public Transport system
