Adelaide’s transport Twenty minute city | Biocity StudioBiocity Studio
Adelaide's transport system is facing increasing congestion, with morning traffic up 30% since 1997-98 and rush hour delays of 44 seconds per kilometer traveled. Currently over 80% of Adelaide residents use private vehicles to commute, contributing to air pollution and emissions. Solutions proposed include increasing public transportation through new buses, trams, and upgraded infrastructure, as well as policies to encourage greater public transit use and cycling. Bus rapid transit systems, which can carry as many passengers as 170 cars, may also help alleviate road congestion.
The document presents scenarios for transportation in Hanoi, Vietnam out to the year 2020 that illustrate the impacts of different policies on vehicle use, emissions, and urban development. Reasonable estimates for vehicle growth, travel distances, and emissions factors are used to model the effects of stronger pollution standards, improved fuel efficiency, and policies promoting public transit, walking, and biking. The scenarios show that acting now to shift toward more sustainable transportation options is important as Hanoi is already highly motorized and millions more residents are expected by 2020, so current decisions will largely determine the future shape and feel of the city.

Electric Vehicle and Electricity Demand in the GCCAhmed Elbermbali
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.
Urban mobility faces challenges such as high numbers of traffic fatalities including of children, and vehicles searching for parking taking up city traffic. Cooperative intelligent transport systems and services could help cities address these issues through ideas like comParking, which provides parking availability and guidance; comBus&Train, which provides public transit information and flexible scheduling; and comTraffic, which enables cooperative traffic control and vehicle priority to improve traffic flow. Partnerships are needed to realize the vision of a mobile city with cooperative mobility systems and services.

Electric vehicles are growing rapidly but still make up a small fraction of vehicles globally. In 2016 there were over 2 million electric vehicles sold, with China and the US making up 60% of sales. Several automakers have announced ambitious targets to increase electric vehicle production in the coming years. Factors like falling battery prices, increasing battery energy density and renewable energy use have driven more interest in electric vehicles. Countries provide various financial incentives like tax exemptions and subsidies to promote electric vehicle adoption. Researchers in India are calling for a long term roadmap including policy support, charging infrastructure development and boosting local electric vehicle manufacturing through duty changes and investment in battery and component production.
This document discusses issues with transport funding, project selection, and project delivery in Australia. It argues that transport funding levels have increased but are still below long-term averages. Project selection is too influenced by politics and ideology, prioritizing roads over rail and rural over urban. Many projects experience delays and cost overruns due to changing political priorities between governments. Project delivery is inefficient, with most recent toll road PPPs going bankrupt and megaprojects routinely exceeding costs. The document calls for independent decision making on infrastructure, more transparency, and national policies to bring more consistency and effectiveness to transport planning.

This document summarizes the history and models of business carsharing. It discusses how business carsharing has evolved since 1995 to reduce corporate vehicle fleets. A 2015 global study found that 54.5% of carsharing programs are neighborhood-based, while 31.8% focus on the business market. The document also summarizes case studies on business carsharing programs in Britain and by Zipcar, finding they provide an alternative to rental cars and taxis for business travel.
The European Green Capital Award was created in 2006 by 15 European cities to recognize and reward cities leading in environmentally friendly urban living. It is awarded annually by the European Commission to a city demonstrating high environmental standards, commitment to future goals, and role modeling for other cities. Hamburg received the award in 2011 for achievements like reducing CO2 emissions, excellent waste management, low water leakage, and extensive public transport and green spaces. The award brings prestige for cities and benefits like increased tourism, investment, and learning opportunities to improve environmental performance based on evaluation criteria.
This document discusses the potential impacts of autonomous vehicles on cities. It notes that AVs could significantly improve safety by removing human error, increase road capacity, and provide new mobility options. However, it also raises challenges around planning, legislation, public acceptance, and generational issues. A key point is that the price of accessing AVs will influence traffic volumes, public transport use, car ownership patterns, and urban structure. If prices are low it could lead to sprawl, but higher prices may concentrate development and constrain vehicle miles traveled. The document argues cities must carefully consider these impacts to shape a sustainable vision for autonomous vehicles.
This document discusses collaborative models for public and on-demand bus transport in India. It summarizes the landscape of bus aggregator companies in India and provides a case study on the environmental impacts of Shuttl operations in Delhi-NCR. The key findings are that Shuttl avoided 14,022 tons of CO2 emissions in 2017 and removed 4,312 passenger car units from the road per day. However, Shuttl customers tend to be educated professionals, indicating it currently caters to a niche market. The document raises questions about impacts in other cities and opportunities for public transit agencies and private operators to collaborate better.
This document discusses a decision support system developed to optimize collaborative freight transportation between a large parcel delivery company and a cargo bike courier in Turin, Italy. The system uses optimization algorithms and data from an ERP and database to plan efficient routes balancing loads between trucks and bikes. Testing found lower emissions, shorter distances, and more deliveries per hour when bikes handled parcels under 5kg. The system provides operational and environmental benefits while reducing costs for the collaborating companies.

Imagine a world in which people and goods can move with minimum impact on the local environment and climate. Imagine an intelligent transport system with smart infrastructure and smart, connected vehicles powered predominantly by renewable energy, and with enlightened end-users: private individuals and enterprises. Imagine a system that is actually based on user demand. That is what we would like to see.
To put mobility and transport on the track to sustainability, we have to improve energy efficiency, switch to renewable energy and more efficient modes of mobility, and, most importantly, increase smartness at all levels of the system. In practice, the last point means smart and efficient mobility services, cooperative systems, and intelligent vehicles and infrastructure.
VTT has a toolbox and the expertise to tackle all the key challenges of smart low-carbon mobility. And, to really make an impact, we are cooperating with all the key stakeholders in the field. Let us re-invent mobility and co-create a better future together!
Modelling Urban Transports in a City Energy System ModelIEA-ETSAP
This document discusses modelling urban transport systems in a city energy model using TIMES. It begins by outlining the characteristics of urban transport including high frequency, low speeds, and short distances. It then discusses learning from existing transport models to better represent factors like trip purposes and commodity groups that influence demand. The document proposes modelling passenger and freight transport in Malmo using TIMES, disaggregating demand based on mode, location, and trip purpose. It generates illustrative scenarios with different climate and air quality targets to explore policy impacts and tradeoffs between emission reductions. In the end, it emphasizes making underlying assumptions transparent through a city interface and optimizing for both CO2 and air quality.
Cycling Without Age aims to combat loneliness and social isolation among elderly and less mobile individuals. Volunteers provide free rides on special tricycles to allow passengers to feel like an active part of their community. Passengers sit in a front two-seater cab and experience the thrill of cycling. The initiative focuses on generosity, slowness, storytelling, relationships, and enabling people to age without limitations on participation in community. Benefits include improved physical and emotional well-being, social interaction, and memories. The local chapter seeks to expand by purchasing more tricycles, training more pilots, and organizing more rides.
The document outlines a manifesto called "City4kids" which aims to make Newcastle more accommodating for families traveling with children. It notes that currently, the city's transport system and roads are polluting, fast, and hostile, discouraging families from cycling or walking. The manifesto calls on officials to take action by forming an implementation group, appointing an urban design expert, seeking support from civic groups, and ensuring child-friendly infrastructure is developed, in order to create a city where parents and children feel safe and comfortable traveling independently of cars.
This document discusses cycling equity and barriers to cycling participation. It analyzes data from cycling surveys in England to show inequalities in cycling based on gender, age, ethnicity, disability status, education level, and car ownership. While some areas have higher overall cycling rates, inequalities tend to remain. Barriers can be both general, affecting some groups more than others, and specific. The document argues for removing barriers and redressing exclusion so that people of all backgrounds can benefit from cycling. Equity requires addressing direct and indirect discrimination through infrastructure, policies, attitudes and other factors.
Newcycling is a cycling campaign in Newcastle that aims to promote cycling in the city. Their vision is for Newcastle to have a cycling network and infrastructure like Copenhagen and Amsterdam that makes cycling safe, inclusive, and accessible for all. In 2017/18, Newcycling will campaign for the city council to adopt a mapped out cycling network plan and implement high quality infrastructure based on Sustainable Safety principles used in the Netherlands. They encourage residents to get involved by joining the campaign, donating, contacting councillors, and spreading awareness of their priorities to improve cycling conditions in Newcastle.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
