Governance traffic final
The key principles of governance that have helped Singapore manage its traffic are:
- Targeted measures - Singapore implemented specific measures like ERP, COE, etc. to target road usage and car ownership rather than broad measures. This makes governance more effective.
- Evidence-based policymaking - Measures like ALS were discontinued when proven ineffective and replaced by better alternatives like ERP supported by data on traffic flows.
- Adaptability to changes - As population and traffic grew, Singapore kept adapting its governance approach with new measures and technologies rather than sticking to old solutions.
- Multi-pronged approach - Singapore uses a combination of demand management, infrastructure expansion and behavioral changes rather than relying on only one approach. This comprehensive

This document discusses solutions to parking problems through public-private partnerships (PPPs) for automated parking systems. It provides an overview of MPSystem, a leading provider of automated parking technologies, and their delivery techniques. Risk allocation is discussed, with private sectors taking on design, construction, finance, operation, marketing and technology risks, while public sectors take on land allocation, licensing, and stakeholder risks. Examples of MPSystem projects in Korea, Turkey, Egypt and other countries are presented. Benefits of automated parking systems include increased parking capacity, reduced construction and operation costs, minimized vehicle retrieval times, and reduced emissions.
The Future of Gauteng's Traffic and How We Can Change It
The Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) company invited the media to a tour of its facility in Midrand, Johannesburg, in October 2018, at which ETC CEO Coenie Vermaak presented this information.
Measures To Control The Flow Of Traffic
Singapore implemented several measures in the 1970s and 1990s to manage increasing traffic volumes and car ownership. The Area Licensing Scheme (ALS) required motorists to pay to use certain roads and reduced car numbers. While initially unpopular, ALS was successful. It was later replaced by Electronic Road Pricing (ERP), which used improved technology. The Park-and-Ride scheme encouraged parking outside the city center and taking public transit but was not widely used. The Vehicle Quota System set a monthly limit on new vehicle registrations through a Certificate of Entitlement bidding process, which is still used today to control the car population.
IT and Transportation Systems
Improvements in information technology related technologies are encouraging and enabling greater use of public transportation and they are enabling new forms of transportation systems that have lower carbon emissions and use less resources. Improvements in information-related technologies such as mobile phones and GPS encourage greater use of public buses, bicycle sharing systems, and trains. These same improvements are making autonomous vehicles economically feasible and roads dedicated to them. Roads dedicated to them can reduce congestion, increase fuel efficiency, and reduce accidents and costs related to them. In combination with public transportation, autonomous vehicles can reduce the need for private vehicles and thus parking spaces. Similar types of improvements in power electronics are reducing the cost and improving the performance of charging stations and thus enable more rapid recharging with a denser number of charging stations. This rapid and more frequent recharging can overcome the existing bottleneck of lower battery storage densities and slow improvements in these storage densities. Overall, improvements in information technology are making possible new forms of sustainable systems that have a much higher chance of becoming economically feasible than more commonly discussed solutions such as hybrid vehicles and wind turbines.

A tool to enable cities embrasse Smart Mobility
Smart Cities are emerging everywhere, each city is trying to become the first smart city in the world. A smart city is one of the many concepts of cities of tomorrow, you have other concept such as green cities or cities as a service. A smart city is a data driven city where a wide array of smart and connected infrastructure delivers sustainable and prosperous future for its citizens.
The concept of Smart City revolves around the concept of Smart mobility. “Smart mobility” can be defined as a way to move people and goods using new technology that is faster, cleaner, protected, secure, connected, intelligent, more accessible and less expensive than traditional options. Smart mobility revolves around the Electric Vehicle and is about striving toward frictionless, automated and personalized mobility.
Scientific and Economic Observers expect that electric vehicle will represent 35% of all new vehicles sales by 2022 and that it will represent 41 millions of sales per year by 2040. This evolution won’t be without consequences: A predictable outcome would be an increase in both the number and the size of Electric car batteries. However, the principal components of these batteries are projected to disappear.
To be able to have the brilliant utopian future described earlier, this problem needs to be solved.
Public Partner Partnership for mobility in Mexico
This proposal suggests implementing a smart parking/mobility mobile app that allows users to detect available parking near their destination and pay electronically to reserve spots. Justification is provided that 40% of driving time is spent searching for parking. Public-private partnerships are recommended, with the city providing permissions and private sector providing investment, to develop the system in a way that shares risks and increases overall investment for a positive social return.
Electric Vehicle and Electricity Demand in the GCC
The document discusses electric vehicles (EVs) and electricity demand in the GCC region, using Europe and the UAE as case studies. It finds that while EVs currently represent a small portion of total electricity consumption, their share is projected to grow significantly by 2050. This will require additional electricity generation and infrastructure like charging stations. Challenges to EV adoption in the GCC include a lack of public awareness, charging infrastructure, and incentives. Opportunities lie in expanding EV models, incentives for purchases, and improving public-private collaboration on infrastructure.
Econs tutorial 22 n2005 q4b slides draft2
The Singapore government currently adopts several appropriate policies to overcome market failures from vehicle usage. These include (1) the vehicle quota system and certificate of entitlement that limit vehicle growth rates, (2) electronic road pricing that charges motorists during peak hours to reduce congestion, and (3) improvements to public transportation through increased frequency, expanded networks, and amenities that encourage people to switch from driving. However, policies also have limitations such as moving traffic elsewhere or placing strain on government budgets.

This document summarizes a presentation on the Physical Internet concept. It discusses how current freight transport is inefficient, with little improvement in load factors and road efficiency over 10 years. It then outlines the EU vision for more sustainable freight by 2050, including reducing oil dependence and carbon emissions. The Physical Internet concept is presented as a way to improve efficiency by using standardized containers and open logistics networks, with potential to reduce costs and emissions through pooled resources. Key enablers include IT systems, collaboration between organizations, and standardized protocols. Overall the Physical Internet is framed as a way to optimize freight transport networks rather than a single solution.CK2018: Future of Mobility
The document discusses new mobility trends including shared mobility services like ride-hailing, shifting from private vehicle ownership to on-demand access, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and predictions about their impacts. It notes the growth of services like Uber and Didi in cities around the world, emerging models in India, ambitious electric vehicle sales targets announced by automakers, and predictions that autonomous vehicles could allow for reduced fleet sizes and changed street design. It raises questions about whether cities should first identify goals to guide adoption of new technologies or allow experimentation initially, and how to ensure access for lower income populations.

Road Pricing in Singapore
Singapore has used road pricing since 1975 to manage congestion. The road pricing scheme has evolved from a manual paper permit system during morning peak periods only, to the current electronic system that operates throughout most of the day. The electronic road pricing system uses in-vehicle units with smart cards for payment at gantry toll points. Charges vary based on vehicle type, location, and time of day. The system was expanded over time to include evening peak periods and to establish separate pricing zones. The goal is to reduce congestion and give drivers pricing incentives to choose less congested routes or times of travel. Public transportation is a key alternative to driving under the road pricing system.

ELECTRONIC TOLL SYSTEM
This presentation discusses electronic toll collection (ETC) systems. It begins with an introduction describing how manual toll collection is time-consuming and causes traffic congestion. It then explains that ETC systems use RFID technology to allow automatic toll payment without stopping. The key components of an ETC system include RFID tags attached to vehicles, RFID readers at toll plazas, and a back-end system to manage payments and account information. Benefits include reduced time, fuel costs, and pollution compared to manual tolls. Potential applications and limitations of ETC systems in India are also reviewed.
Uber
Uber's business model involves earning commissions from rides, typically 20% per ride. It determines pricing and surge pricing to adjust for supply and demand. Uber also earns through loans to drivers and leasing cars. Its app connects drivers to riders through GPS, using algorithms to provide pricing and match supply and demand. This simplified the taxi experience. Drivers benefit from more customers, while riders benefit from prepaid rides without tips.
Uber has proven resilient despite regulations and protests. Its diverse, dynamic workforce and equilibrium between flexible supply and demand have allowed it to adapt. However, surge pricing can burden customers, and Uber relies on incentives to maintain an adequate supply of drivers. It must balance prices to sustain growth.

Ch 3 Managing Healthcare
The document discusses healthcare systems in Singapore and Britain. It describes how Singapore implemented a national healthcare plan in the 1980s that emphasized individual responsibility through programs like Medisave, where part of workers' salaries go into healthcare accounts. Britain established its National Health Service after WWII to provide universal healthcare coverage, but it struggled to meet rising demand. Reforms attempted to improve efficiency while maintaining quality as costs increased.
ProSavana landgrab
The document discusses the ProSavana project in Mozambique, which involves the governments of Mozambique, Brazil, and Japan. The project would develop large-scale industrial farming in northern Mozambique's Nacala Corridor similar to farming models in Brazil. It may amount to one of the largest land grabs in Africa, involving millions of hectares of land. Local peasants in the target area met to discuss the project, expressing concern that the land is already used by small-scale farmers and no one has consulted them about the plans.
Who's behind the land grabs?
The document profiles individuals pursuing or supporting large-scale land acquisitions in developing countries. It examines Jean-Claude Gandur, owner of Addax Bioenergy, who acquired land in Sierra Leone for ethanol production, displacing local farmers. It also looks at Jose Minaya of TIAA-CREF who invested US teachers' retirement funds in Brazilian farmland converted to sugar cane plantations. Finally, it discusses Sai Ramakrishna Karuturi, founder of Karuturi Global Ltd., who aims to establish over 1 million hectares of agricultural land across Africa to produce crops like maize and rice.
Ch 2 governance
The document discusses governance in Singapore and its system of government. It defines governance as how the government manages resources to carry out its functions. Singapore practices a representative democracy where citizens vote every 5 years to elect Members of Parliament from different constituencies. The elected MPs then form the government, which comprises three branches - the Legislature that makes laws, the Executive that implements them, and the Judiciary that enforces them. The document also outlines four guiding principles of Singapore's governance: leadership, anticipating change, rewarding meritocracy, and creating opportunities for all.
Land grabbers: where are they now?
Several large-scale land grabbers from the late 2000s have since disappeared or had their projects halted:
Philippe Heilberg's 400,000 hectare Sudan land deal from 2009 is now considered invalid by South Sudan.
Muammar Gaddafi's 2008 agreement giving his company a 50-year lease to 100,000 hectares in Mali halted in 2011 when he was killed during the Libyan civil war.
Miguel Maria de Sá Pais do Amaral's concessions of nearly 170,000 hectares in Africa have been sold off or vanished as his companies disappeared without a trace in Angola and Sierra Leone.

Similar to Ch 2 Governance: Traffic Policy
Governance traffic final
The key principles of governance that come into play with regard to traffic management in Singapore are:
- Targeted approach: Measures target specific issues - road usage, car ownership, to effectively manage traffic flow.
- Adaptability: When ALS became inconvenient, ERP with modern technology was implemented. Schemes evolve based on effectiveness.
- Multi-pronged strategies: Combining road pricing, park-and-ride, vehicle quotas to comprehensively reduce traffic rather than a single solution.
- Data-driven: Traffic data is collected and analyzed to determine problem areas and measure impact of policies. Rates are adjusted based on monitoring.
- Participation: Motorists play a part through paying road usage fees
Governance traffic final
1. Targeting both road usage and car ownership helped control traffic flow more effectively than any single measure alone.
2. Electronic road pricing and the vehicle quota system use market-based approaches to manage demand for roads and cars.
3. Improving public transportation and increasing costs of driving encouraged behavioral changes that reduced traffic congestion.
business plan
The document proposes a mobile app that connects commuters to auto-rickshaws in Delhi using GPS. It would allow commuters to locate nearby auto-rickshaws and book a ride. Over 11,000 auto-rickshaws in Delhi already have government-mandated GPS installed. The app would link the auto GPS locations to user phones to coordinate rides. Revenue would come from app downloads and a 5% booking fee, estimated to generate $300 daily initially from thousands of commuters and auto-rickshaws. Legal agreements would address privacy and location sharing issues.
Transport & Population
The document discusses Singapore's population policies and challenges over time. It notes that Singapore experienced rapid population growth from the 1960s-1980s due to economic boom, but then growth slowed from the 1980s onward. This aging population trend will impact Singapore, requiring policies to fund retirees and meet elderly needs. Singapore's policies have shifted over time in response to these changing demographic situations.
Revision of parking code for IRC
UTTIPEC proposes revisions to Delhi's parking code to address issues of inequitable land use and induced car demand. The current parking situation does not reflect Delhi's modal share, with over 80% of trips by public transit and non-motorized transport. Personal vehicles dominate parking and road space despite accounting for only 15-20% of trips. This leads to wasteful use of scarce urban land and subsidizes car ownership over other modes. Stricter parking pricing and enforcement can encourage a shift to more sustainable modes and manage parking demand. New policies aim to prioritize parking for public transit, walking and cycling to support a shift away from private vehicle dominance.

Intelligent Transportation system
This document discusses using Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to solve traffic problems in Solapur City, India. It proposes using ITS applications like wireless traffic control, public transportation management using GPS for buses, electronic toll collection, and traffic accident prevention systems. The goals are to improve traffic flow, public transportation operations, revenue collection, and enhance public safety. ITS can integrate technologies like sensors, communication networks and computer systems to manage traffic and transportation more efficiently.
ITS in Intermediate Public Transport and Safety
This document summarizes key aspects of intermediate public transport (IPT) systems in Indian cities. It discusses the various private sector stakeholders in IPT, including vehicle owners, drivers, conductors, and finance companies. It also outlines challenges faced by IPT operators and users, such as overlapping routes, overcrowding, unregulated fares, and lack of infrastructure. The document proposes both incremental measures, like increasing enforcement of regulations, and a more comprehensive long-term approach, including developing an integrated transit plan, creating a unified transit authority, and providing options for private operators to upgrade services. It concludes that information and transportation systems can help formalize and improve informal IPT systems in India.

Automatic Electronic Toll Collection System for Transportation by using Passi...Associate Professor in VSB Coimbatore
Automated Toll Collection System used for collecting tax automatically from the moving vehicle. Here we do the identification with the help of radio
frequency. A vehicle will hold an RFID tag. This tag contains unique identification number. This unique identification number will be assigned by
RTO or traffic governing authority. Reader will be strategically placed at toll collection center. Whenever the vehicle passes the toll collection center,
the tax amount will be deducted automatically from his prepaid balance. New balance will be updated in his account. Incase if one has insufficient
balance, his updated balance will be negative one and the warning message will be send to the user. As vehicles don‟t have to stop in a queue, it
assures time saving, fuel conservation, avoid traffic congestions and also contributing in saving of money.Innovative system for autonomous charging of Road toll and parking fee.

Presentation on Open Toll & Toll Systems
A toll road, also known as a turnpike or toll way, is a public or private roadway for which a fee (or toll) is assessed for passage.
Presentation on Open Toll & Toll Systems
This presentation summarizes electronic toll collection (ETC) systems. ETC uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to automatically deduct toll payments from pre-paid accounts as vehicles pass through toll plazas without stopping. The key components of ETC systems are automated vehicle identification using RFID tags, automated vehicle classification using sensors, transaction processing, and violation enforcement. ETC provides advantages like reduced congestion, fuel savings, and transparency compared to manual toll collection systems. While start-up costs of RFID tags can be high, ETC improves traffic flow and is more efficient than traditional toll booths.
The electronic toll industry
Compsis is a company that develops electronic toll collection (ETC) systems to reduce congestion at toll plazas. Their ETC systems use RFID transponders and automated lanes to process toll payments faster than manual lanes. Compsis also develops other intelligent transportation systems, like advanced traffic management systems and vehicle monitoring systems using GPS. Their toll collection system, SICAT, has evolved over several versions to incorporate lessons learned and meet customer needs. Automating toll collection further can reduce manpower costs, traffic, and time spent at plazas.

In Colombo, Sri Lanka, buses carry 70% of people but use only 10% of road space, while cars carry 20% of people but use 80% of road space, leading to high congestion. To address this, authorities are developing a transport master plan and ITS master plan, and preparing an electronic fee collection system for buses initially and potentially other modes. Parking restrictions may also be introduced, with zones and pricing based on travel speed, informed through media, to be implemented with the new fee collection system.
IRJET- I-Parker-A New Smart Car Parking System
The document describes a new proposed smart car parking system called iParker. It aims to optimize parking resource allocation both dynamically and statically by introducing real-time and shared-time reservation concepts. Extensive simulations showed iParker can significantly reduce the total cost and time for all parkers and parking area owners compared to existing systems. A literature review covered previous work on parking guidance systems, effects of parking availability information, and strategies to address issues like cruising for parking. The proposed system combines location-based reservations with payment via e-wallet to provide a hassle-free automated parking solution.
