| Abstract | Transportation, like land use, plays one of the most important
roles in urban planning. A transportation system is considered as the backbone of the new cities to be designed for the developing world. This research studies the development of a transportation
plan and transportation systems for a hypothetical megalopolitan
region of new cities located in Asia. Intracity and ·intercity demands for transportation services of the proposed new urban areas are predicted.
A supply model for evaluating various evolutionary and innovative transport technologies is presented.
Many candidate transport technologies for new cities
are described in some detail.
A transportation system with a combination of these transport
technologies to satisfy the predicted intracity and intercity travel demand in the proposed megalopolitan area is developed
transportation networks are included. Innovative Control systems for regulating traffic in the transportation networks are discussed. Also, the adaptiveness of the transportation system to the urban environment is investigated. |
