Estimation of the Environmental Load Caused by Introducing Light Rail Transit Using an Urban Transportation Simulator

Abstract:

A modal shift from automobiles is imperative in the transportation field for realizing a low-carbon society. We have developed a simulator that can quantitatively assess the effect of a modal shift by simulating track-based public transportation, such as LRT (Light Rail Transit), and automobile transportation. This paper presents an example in which we used the simulator to calculate the effect in a case where track-based transportation is implemented.
