    GRD Journals | Global Research and Development Journal for Engineering | Recent Advances in Civil Engineering for Global Sustainability | March 2016 e-ISSN: 2455-5703 A Detailed Study on Car-Free City and Conversion of Existing Cities and Suburbs to the Car-Free Model 1Priyank P. 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.

We are the global leader in funding, producing and synthesising high-quality evidence of what works, for whom, why and at what cost. We believe that better and policy-relevant evidence will help make development more effective and improve people’s lives. 3ie supports theory-based impact evaluations that use a counterfactual to examine the full causal chain of the programme and answer questions about what works, for whom, why and at what cost. These designs use mixed methods to address evaluation questions along the causal chain. 3ie also funds and produces maps, systematic reviews and other syntheses of evidence in priority development sectors or themes.

  • Ensuring Sustainability of the City Transportation System: Problems and Solutions (ICSC)
    E3 S Web of Conferences6, 02004 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/ e3 sconf /20160602004 ICSC 2016 Ensuring sustainability of the city transportation system: problems and solutions (ICSC) Irina Makarova1, Rifat Khabibullin1, Ksenia Shubenkova1a, and Aleksey Boyko1 1“Service of Transport Systems” Department, Kazan federal university, 423810, Naberezhnye Chelny, Russia Abstract. 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).

  • Design and Implementation of Access Control Schemes for Tourist Coaches
    DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION OF ACCESS CONTROL SCHEMES FOR TOURIST COACHES Deliverable of the measure 6.2 of Success Project Editors: : Dominique BREUIL (EIGSI) David BLACKLEDGE (TTR) Version February 2010 FOREWORD Jean YATES, Emil CALOTA, Denis LEROY As senior political representatives of the SUCCESS cities we have been personally involved in the project from its beginnings as a Proposal submitted to the CIVITAS Programme in 2004. We have been honoured to take part in the second phase of CIVITAS and we have been pleased to see how well the plans have been implemented in our cities and how our citizens have benefited. The rich cooperation that has been the hallmark of SUCCESS, both between the cities and between local partners in each city, has resulted in greater understanding and mutual respect between different organisations and different cultures. This will have long-lasting effects that will benefit all who have been involved in the project. We have been pleased to cooperate with the European Commission and the wider CIVITAS family, and have contributed to the CIVITAS Political Advisory Committee. We trust that this document will provide useful lessons for others considering the adoption of measures similar to those that we implemented in the SUCCESS project.

    [HUMAN POWERED INDIVIDUAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS] Jack Robinson Human Powered individual transport systems Feasibility Report Project 3a (64ET6918_1213_9) By Jack Robinson 10298859 1 Contacts: | MMU [HUMAN POWERED INDIVIDUAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS] Jack Robinson 0.0 Summary The following report aims to address the key issues surrounding human powered vehicles and analyse them in such a way as to outline the existing benefits, flaws and bring focus to potential improvements. Using the past as a spring-board, this report will critically analyse the growth and evolution of this mode of transport. Then moving forward, it will assess and criticise current options available finally looking at the potential for future growth and evolution. The further stages of this project will revolve around velomobiles; a great deal of primary and secondary research has been conducted to give the reader a full understanding of their construction and purpose. Great care has been taken to ensure that I have feedback and responses from the market that velomobiles appeal to by using specific cycling forums and contacts. Taking a critical standpoint this report utilises mistakes from the past to influence and redesign the future. 2 Contacts: | MMU [HUMAN POWERED INDIVIDUAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS] Jack Robinson 0.1 Acknowledgements Contacts: Undercover Cycling – Go-one - [email protected] Ymte Sijbrandij – Owner of Velomobiel.nl Rollin Nothwehr – recumbent bicycle designer and manufacturer Dr Graham Sparey-Taylor – British Human Powered Forums Shimano bicycles – Bicycle and fishing company British Human Power forum - users Bentrider online forum – users The recumbent bike forums – Users Surveymonkey 3 Contacts: | MMU [HUMAN POWERED INDIVIDUAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS] Jack Robinson Contents Table of Contents Contacts: ...................................................................................................................................
