Sustainable Operation of a Transport System in Cities

Article Preview

Abstract:

The research presented in this paper was to investigate a transport system in cities for the purposes of enhancing sustainability, by modelling the traffic in the city’s transport network. Four parameters, i.e. time of the day, distance, duration of the travel and type of the means of transport are particularly investigated. The transport system’s impact on the environment is presented using the results related to the parameters.
