The theme of the presentation was: "Sustainable Integrated Transport".
Presentation tries to portray the context, necessity, role and importance of transportation in the urban context, issues faced by cities in rationalizing transport and options which can be leveraged in making transportation sustainable - which inter alia includes; making cities compact, planning for people, promoting accessibility, limiting mobility, re-ordering the priority for mobility, leveraging mass transportation, technology etc. Presentation stresses the role an d importance of shape and size of the city in making transportation sustainable. Need for changing the approach to urban planning has also been emphasized.
Abstract
Most of the urban metropolitan cities are facing traffic problems due delay and overcrowding. Recently the growth of population
increased unusually because of the development and employment in metropolitan cities. Generally, road transportation is the
major approach of convey which connects the villages, towns, cities, metropolitan regions, states and whole country in to the
system establishing an innovative communiqué. It improves the entire nation development, environment surroundings and socio
economic customs developments. Additionally the special advantages of the highway transport individual have been facing
unusual troubles owing to the need of its suitable organization, refurbish & preservation. With the unusual predicament of road
transport, traffic delay and overcrowding are the rising troubles in the urban region. Various authentic problems and solutions of
traffic delay and overcrowding have been discussed in this paper.

Based on the mandate given in SDG 11, calling for promoting an affordable and sustainable transport, globally all nations are trying to come out with an agenda and a vision for achieving carbon neutrality. Nations must make commitment to promote emissions-free mobility as a fundamental human right; doing the best things for humanity and society to lead towards a better and sustainable future and proactively promoting a paradigm shift towards electrification and creating a hydrogen based society for bringing sustainability. Sustainable transport is known for its distinct and numerous social and economic benefits for the communities, cities, environment and ecology. Studies made and analysis carried out has concluded that; Sustainable transport can help create large number of jobs; improve commuter safety through investment in bicycle lanes; reduce use of fossil fuel ; minimize pollution and congestion, making cities walkable; and making access to employment and social opportunities more affordable and efficient besides decarbonizing cities and making urban settlements more livable and sustainable. Sustainable transportation offers a practical opportunity and simple method of saving people's time, improving people’s health increasing household income and making cities great places for happy, healthy and more productive living besides making investment in sustainable transport, a 'win-win' option and opportunity for all stake holders.’ Decarbonizing, Carbon Neutrality and Zero-Carbon must remain the prime agenda to redefine, promote and achieve the sustainable transportation in urban areas and to achieve the mandate/goals given in SDG11. Planet earth looks at how nations can minimize travel and make it sustainable for making human settlements more peaceful and livable.

As the pressure of Big Data collides with the reality of daily operations, many organizations are trying to solve the challenge of meeting new requirements without disrupting the flow of business. One solution focuses on the data layer itself, by combining the well known functionality of relational database technology with the scale-out capabilities of Hadoop.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear from veteran Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor as he outlines the critical components of a business-ready data layer. He’ll be briefed by John Leach and Rich Reimer of Splice Machine who will explain how their solution delivers the best of both data worlds: the trusted capabilities of relational with the infinite scalability of Hadoop. They will also discuss how Hadoop has transformed from a batch-oriented workhorse into a scale-out layer capable of supporting real-time applications and operational analytics using traditional SQL.
