Challenges and future of Smart cities and its impact on traffic models in the...Kevin Sam MCIHT
The growing competition for smart cities is one of the major areas of investment by developing and developed economies. Whether the investment is in human capital, social capital and/or ICT infrastructure, the basic concept of a smart city is to create a sustainable balance between economic development and high quality of life by excelling in multiple key areas; economy, mobility, environment, people, living, and government.
There are number of views for an ideal Smart City, however the presentation aims to highlight the common challenges the cities in the Middle East face and potential next steps. The main areas of focus will be as follows:
• Importance of clear implementation strategy – In absence of a set or pre-defined road map for a Smart City, the necessary steps depend on basics of cities' clear vision, determination, dedicated resources and delegation of responsibilities.
• Stakeholders’ alignment – Involvement of right stakeholders and most importantly alignment of their priorities makes a major difference.
• Synergy between sectors - Although the intention to cooperate is there, other interests are often given priority in practice. How to have a synergetic approach?
• Function of ICT - Nearly everyone agrees that technology is not the problem on the road to smarter cities. Still, there are some technical challenges, like linking data across domains, implementation and control.
• Behavioural change - Human behaviour is far more difficult to understand and to change than technology. It is important to understand the social context first.
• Traditional Transport models –Would the standard 4-step models fit in practice within a Smart City context? Or should there be a shift towards intelligent and more real-time mobility models?

It provides input for other reports and allows local authorities to assess developer contributions to road improvements.
2018 GIS in Government: Prioritization Modeling Lancaster County PA TIP Proje...GIS in the Rockies
To assist the Lancaster County PA Planning Commission with its Transportation Improvement Program (developed cooperatively between the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), PennDOT, and South Central Transit Authority), a GIS prioritization model was developed to score, rank and prioritize various regionally-significant and federally-funded transportation projects throughout the county. The prioritization modeling and scoring, based on 25 weight-based selection criteria, evaluates over one hundred potential TIP project locations throughout the county using a series of environmental, social, economic, geographic, and safety factors throughout the region resulting in a prioritized ranking of TIP projects. Testing the limits of ESRIs Model Builder, the toolset and its graphical interface can be used by multiple staff to investigate planning alternatives and meet changing needs on an ongoing basis.
The document discusses Virginia's rural transportation planning program and the development of rural long-range transportation plans (RLRPs). It provides background on the program and funding for rural planning districts. It outlines the objectives, process, benefits and keys to success of developing RLRPs.
