Abstract
With the increasing demand for transportation and alarming levels of emissions witnessed today, the future of the transport sector is at a critical juncture. The challenge lies in satisfying the demand of increasing population and simultaneously reducing the emission level for sustainable future development. This study dealt with the problem of increasing demand and desired a reduction in emission level for the transport sector by finding an optimal modal split for passenger transportation, putting a constraint on emissions and minimizing the cost of investment. We applied the techniques of pinch analysis to derive the optimum mix. Various scenarios were developed having different emission levels as constraints, and results were compared based on the contribution of different modes of transport that might aid the policymakers to introduce policies to achieve emission reduction targets. It is evident from the estimated models that substantial reduction is possible with the introduction of newer technologies, adept transportation planning strategies.
