The document discusses transport issues and potential solutions in major Russian cities. It summarizes research on travel behavior in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Krasnodar, which found relatively low car usage but potential for large increases in vehicle ownership. It benchmarks these cities against transport systems in other C40 cities. Key challenges for Russian cities include accommodating population growth, reducing congestion, and addressing climate change. Solutions proposed include integrated land use and transport planning, prioritizing sustainable transport modes over private vehicles, and establishing authorities to coordinate long-term planning.
How can we make traffic flow better so fewer of us are sitting in traffic jams for shorter periods of time – if at all?
Researcher Lina Kattan looks at Intelligent Traffic Systems that optimize the operation, safety and costs of a city’s transportation network through sustainable traffic control and transportation management strategies. These systems are designed to manage traffic congestion, signal controls and prediction of bus and LRT arrivals.
Read on to learn about solutions that are working and how new developments will change the traffic jigsaw in the not-to-distant future.

Commission on Travel Demand Shared Mobility Inquiry: Evidence Session 3
Leeds, 18 June 2019
The Commission on Travel Demand (CTD) is an expert group initially established as part of the UK Research and Innovation funded ‘DEMAND’ Centre initiative to explore the how to reduce the energy and associated carbon emissions associated with transport. The Commission’s first report “All Change? The Future of Travel Demand and its implications for policy and planning” reviewed declining trends in per capita travel across the UK and the reasons for this.
The first topic will be shared mobility. This will be explored through a call for evidence and expert evidence sessions from April 2019 involving regular engagement from national, local and regional government, NGOs, business and academics from both the UK and overseas.

ABSTRACT
A pilot program in Austin, Texas, tested the practicality of integrating a real-time ridesharing application with a toll operator to process toll discounts for carpools. The toll discounts appeared on monthly toll transaction statements. The program lasted for almost a year on the 183A Toll Road and the US 290 Manor Expressway. Travelers used a smartphone application to track, record, and submit their trips for discounts. Two-person carpools that used the application received a 50 percent discount, and carpools of three or more people could travel toll-free. The program was a partnership between the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority, the local toll systems operator, and a private ridesharing vendor. Back-office processes matched trip data from the smartphone application to transactions recorded by the toll systems. A total of 95 unique drivers were provided toll rebates for 2,213 trips during the 10.5-month pilot period. Most trips during the pilot program were rebated for two-person carpools. Individual driver behavior varied considerably. A select few drivers had a high number of carpool trips, while others took a sporadic or infrequent trip. Drivers took a median of 7 trips during the pilot. Future rideshare programs should consider showing higher-dollar rebates that represent annual savings to incentivize behavior. Timely feedback was found to be an important factor for success. Additionally, program sponsors should provide positive customer service and engage users when problems exist that are not under their direct purview.

Ride Sharing, Congestion, and the Need for Real SharingJeffrey Funk
Current ride sharing services are not financially sustainable. Although they provide more convenience than do taxi services, they are experiencing massive losses because they have the same cost structure as do taxis and thus must compete through subsidies and lower wages. After all, they use the same vehicles, roads, and drivers, and only GPS algorithms and phones are new.
They also increase congestion. Just as more private vehicles or taxis on the road will increase congestion, more ride sharing vehicles also increase congestion.
These slides describe new ways to use the technologies of ride sharing to reduce congestion along with costs while at the same time keeping travel time low. This can be done through changing public transportation systems or allowing private companies to offer competing services. For instance, current bus services, whether they are private or public, need to use the algorithms, GPS, phones and other technologies of ride sharing to revise routes, schedules and the premises that currently underpin public transportation. There is no reason a bus should be certain size, stop every 200 meters, or follow the same route all day. Algorithms and phones enable new types of routes in which designers simultaneously minimize time travel and maximize number of passengers transported per vehicle.hour.

Parking management strategies are used to address a variety of community planning goals including socio-economic vitality, community livability, transit system sustainability, and economic vitality. Yet transportation planners are increasingly concerned about the connection between parking supply/demand management
and pricing strategies and congestion management outcomes (e.g., delay reduction, capacity utilization, travel time reliability, transit performance, and green-house gas emissions).
With Miami and Ft. Lauderdale as case studies, this session explored the best practices in parking supply, demand, pricing, and land development regulation to understand options available to
planners to manage congestion, increase parking revenues and facilitate multimodal transportation planning.

Urban health and community resilience in the Lagos metropolis ( A Presentatio...Dr. Ebele Mogo
A Presentation By Ebele Mogo, DrPH. By 2050, two-thirds of the global population will live in cities. Already, over half of the world’s population lives in urban centers. In line with Goal 11 of the Sustainable Development Goals (S.D.G.s), these urban centers need to be made sustainable. Healthy and resilient urban development prioritizes the physical and social environment of urban residents and safeguards their health in the face of future stresses. This mixed methods study sought to understand the extent to which health and resilience were integrated into the development of the Lagos metropolis. This study serves as a case study for other metropolises on how to integrate and considerations for integrating urban health and resilience into city planning processes.

49% workers predominantly park their car on-street, free of charge – this generates additional traffic
and congestion during peak periods;
paid car parking is rare (11%) – Wide availability of free car parking is likely to favour use of the
private car over alternative modes. (Scope to increase? Instrument for raising funds?)

– Requires skilled teams of planners and
transport engineers within the City
Authorities (e.g. DfTDTI Moscow)
– Understand the issues and needs
– Develop the appropriate planning tools
(e.g. transport modelling as a tool, not
a solution)
– Establish clear development and
transport planning policies, objectives
and guidelines for city (including
‘Transport Impact Assessment’)

18. A city for people, not cars
• If you plan for cars, the result will be
more cars. However, if you plan for
people, the result will be more people!
• In Moscow (as in many other cities), a
minority (20 – 25%) of daily
commuters creates major impacts for
the majority of the population, also
taking the majority of the public
space;
• Busy wide traffic corridors and lack
of pedestrian facilities create
severance, making it less attractive to
walk or use public transport;

20. Where do we go from here? – Expansion of PT Networks
Transport network integration mixture of;
• Carefully planned expansion of mass transit
networks
• Better use of surface transport modes (Bus,
LRT)
• Development of Public Transport Interchanges
• Use of ‘Park and Ride’

21. Where do we go from here? – the humble bus
• Bus networks will continue to have a significant role in city transport
solutions and future planning
• Strong drive to make the bus attractive again as a travel mode
– Bus Rapid Transit
– Reallocation of road space for priority

22. Make our streets attractive for walking and cycling
• Moscow has a low share of walking only trips to work (less than 10%) vs. Cities with comparable climate
(Warsaw 21%, Copenhagen 19%). Only 10- 15% of daily shopping trips are on foot;
• climatic conditions do have an influence in transport choice, but it is not a major consideration for more
than 40% commuters;
