The Significant and Acceptable Features of Urban Public Vehicles for Travellers in Terms of Urbanization

Abstract:

Good decisions about transportation investments and policies require accurate information to the characteristic of transportation system alternatives that are acceptable to individual and social are most important and necessary to identification and consideration. The primary aims of this research are to clarify the relationships between urban vehicle’s traits that are acceptable for individual and social from urban planning perspective. The study finds that are acceptable vehicle’s characteristics and do effects on individual or traveller include travel time, travel costs, safety and security, convenience, available and assurances. It is worth mentioning factors such as climate, geographic location, cultural factors and economic status are factors that will be affecting on the urban transportation traits from individual and society perspective. Methodology of this research is on based of field study (field observation, data collection, take photo and some interview) and library study (literature review, study about title and else). The study wants to do discuss via analytically and descriptively methods. The aims here are to gain a better understanding of the variables that effect on the acceptable urban vehicle traits for individual. Therefore, research will focus on identification and consideration of most important traits of the urban vehicles that is acceptable for the passenger or individual perspective. This is not only solving way to global problems about urban vehicle's traits from individual and society perspective because of various factors with different traits will become in order to play.
