Patel 2Zarana Hitesh Gandhi 3Bhasker Vijaykumar Bhatt 1PG Student (M. E. - Town & Country Planning) 2Ad-hoc Assistant Professor 3Assistance Professor and PG In-charge 1,2,3Department of Civil Engineering 1,2,3Sarvajanik Collage of Engineering & Technology, Surat, Gujarat, India Abstract Manufacture and use of cars are increasing day by day. This is creating environmental, social and aesthetic issues that we never imagined in last few decades. These problems force urban planners to think and design the cities which will work without cars. The transformation of existing towns and outskirts to car-free model is possible by providing better and faster public transport, better biking and by increasing density and reducing street width. Car-free development will help in reduction of traffic generation and parking problems, improvements to the urban environment and economy of government. This paper defines Car- free related terms. After describing the problems caused by the Cars, this document discusses alternative means to resolve those problems regarding replacement of cars by introducing the rapid economic, public transport. Design standards are also explored to make a city, Car-free. In a later section of paper, its major focus is on the methods of conversion of existing cities into the Car- free model. Four Indian cities viz. Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore have already taken initiatives to promote the Car- free movements by various means.

Ways to increase sustainability of the city transportation system and, particularly, measures to promote safe public transport and non- motorized means of transport are considered in the article. Analysis of the existing positive experience shows that complex decisions for a sustainable development of the city transportation system are necessary. Technical and organizational ways to increase the transportation system’s sustainability and safety are studied. The results of solution of separate tasks, aimed at completing the goal, are presented: defining transport preferences of the citizens of Naberezhnye Chelny, perspective model of bus route network, a model of an adaptive smart-bicycle. It is shown that the proposed solutions for strategic and operational management will help to enhance efficiency and safety of transportation system. 1 Introduction During the debates about sustainable development the participants of the United Nations Conference on sustainable development (Conference "Rio+20" [1]) noted that transportation and mobility are central to sustainable development as means to improve social equity, health, resilience of cities, urban-rural linkages and productivity of rural areas. They recognized the need to promote an integrated approach to policymaking at the national, regional and local levels for transport services and systems to promote sustainable development. Sustainable transport systems development is one of the Global Goals for Sustainable Development [2] and is the priority area of work of the Pan-European Program on Transport, Environment and Health (the PEP).

This model was employed to approximate the effects of transit-based carsharing (short-term vehicle access linked to transit), real-time transit information services, and carfree housing (residential developments designed with limited parking provisions) in the Sacramento region.
