Abstract
The article describes sustainable transport principles and guides that can lead cities towards a more efficient transportation network. The authors also show good practice used in different urban areas, such as London and Copenhagen. Furthermore, Vilnius was analyzed for its sustainable transport rules and mobility. The authors took into consideration components such as public transport indicators, car use and the number of trips made by bicycle and by pedestrians. Additionally, solutions such as shared space, developing cycle routes and public transportation networks, dividing different transport modes, reducing distance and the need to travel, policy shifts and technological innovation are proposed. Moreover, already taken actions are also verified. The article, additionally, shows guidance for Vilnius, so it could be possible to develop a sustainable traffic network in the city. All analyses and guidance were based on using geographic information system (GIS) tools which allowed the authors to obtain the most reliable results. The artefacts are presented by means of a combination of graph theory algorithms in order to obtain sustainable transport using the example of a part of Vilnius City.
Highlights
Designed transportation systems should meet mobility and people requirements and provide safety and eco-friendly vehicles [1]
According to the World Commission on Environment and Development, mankind should strive for sustainable development to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability in order to meet the requirements of future generations [2,3]
An important role in the sustainable development of space is played by the transport system
Summary
Designed transportation systems should meet mobility and people requirements and provide safety and eco-friendly vehicles [1]. An important role in the sustainable development of space is played by the transport system It plays a role in the sustainable development of space, because transport provides access to economic and social opportunities for all communities [4]. People living in the individual areas shall aim to develop sustainable transport systems, in particular road networks, which will enable them to achieve appropriate level of growth both in the economic, social and environmental spheres [5,6]. The way the transport looks in a specific city depends on the efficiency of local government units [12,13]. This form of city planning practice can lead to sustainable transport
