Abstract
Improving the public transportation problems should rely on integrated multidimensional transport policies which can soften the demand of infrastructure investment. However, it would be very difficult to fully consider the multi-dimensional transport polices in planning framework because there would be too many possible policy combinations to be evaluated. So, this study attempts to develop an analytic framework for evaluating urban integrated transport policies comprehensively, including strategies of investment, pricing, management and regulation. To deal with the difficulty of too many policy combinations, genetic algorithms will be used to search for the optimal strategy combination for integrated transport strategy. Finally, the relationship between quantified objectives, policy combinations, and assessment performances would be analyzed using the proposed model.
Highlights
To develop sustainable transport in cities, the integrated transport policy should be fully considered in conjunction with land-use, socioeconomy, environmental impact, finance and sustainability rather than restricting it to only a single policy element (Taleghani, 2006)
Genetic algorithm (GA) approach has been proposed to search for the optimal strategy combination for integrated transport policy
We modified the framework and applied genetic algorithm (GA) optimization heuristic to deal with above shortcomings and tried to find out more quantitative and specific integrated transport policy alternatives in this modified evaluation framework.The modified framework is illustrated in Figure1 and starts with the vision of the urban area (Step1)
Summary
To develop sustainable transport in cities, the integrated transport policy should be fully considered in conjunction with land-use, socioeconomy, environmental impact, finance and sustainability rather than restricting it to only a single policy element (Taleghani, 2006). This study attempts to develop an analytic framework for evaluating urban integrated transport policies comprehensively, including strategies of investment, pricing, management and regulation.
