Urban Transport XX (WIT Transactions on the Built Environment)

Urban Transport XX contains the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment. Transportation in urban areas, with its related environmental and social impacts, is a topic of significant concern for policymakers in both municipal and central government and for urban citizens, who need effective and efficient transportation systems. Urban transportation systems require considerable studies to devise and then safeguard their operational use, maintenance and operational safety. Transportation systems produce significant environmental impacts and can enhance or degrade the quality of life in urban centers. Clearly the challenge of providing effective and efficient transportation systems in urban settings remains an acute challenge, with financial, political and environmental constraints limiting the ability of transportation system planners and operators to deliver the high quality outcomes expected by the public. Topics covered include: Environmental impact; Environmentally friendly transportation modes; Transportation strategies; Public transportation systems; Transportation modelling; Urban transportation simulation; Transportation safety and security; Infrastructure; Land use and transportation integration; Transportation policy and regulations; Experiences from emerging countries; Non-motorized transportation models; Intelligent transportation systems.
