Download or read book Multimodal Evaluation of Passenger Transportation written by G. Scott Rutherford and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1994 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to transportation planners, environmental analysts, and government officials at the federal, state, regional, and local levels. It describes the state of the practice with respect to the procedures and methodologies used by planning agencies at all levels to plan and evaluate alternative multimodal passenger transportation and to integrate these plans with related land use and environmental issues. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the federal studies and guidelines that are available and presents the findings of an extensive survey of state, regional, and local agencies to identify the evaluation methods that are being used in the practice. Selected case studies for five types of modal evaluation are presented: intercity corridor, regional study, regional screening, urban corridor, and regional programming.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increasingly multimodal transportation network and the advent of new mobility solutions means that jurisdictions should change their approaches in the planning, design, and performance monitoring of transportation systems. The work is divided into two main parts. The first section is an attempt to improve the understanding of effective multimodal transportation design processes and performance-based decision making through conducting a national-scale literature and document review. The conventional design approach of prioritizing automobiles has led to problems such as the deterioration of the environment and reduction in city quality of life. Therefore, multimodal design is becoming more widely adopted by jurisdictions through designing for multiple travel modes rather than cars only. However, as this is a relatively new field, the information available falls slightly short of the demand and there is not an ultimate source of guidance for effective multimodal design processes. This section aims to fill that gap by synthesizing "the state of the knowledge" via systematically reviewing the available academic literature, as well as "the state of the practice" by reviewing practical documents such as state guidebooks and design manuals. For this study, multimodal will include: active transportation (e.g., pedestrians and bicycles), freight, transit, and single-occupant vehicles. The work compares the current design processes across various jurisdictions and draws conclusions on what are the best practices, data sources, and performance measures for multimodal design. The second section of the thesis focuses on a new data-gathering tool and analysis framework that helps cities more effectively monitor the performance of micromobility services (i.e., shared e-scooters and e-bikes). As many of these services are nowadays dockless, the trips can be ended almost anywhere and not necessarily in a parking hub, which leads to these vehicles often getting mis-parked by the user, blocking sidewalks, or causing issues for people with disabilities. We developed an application for the purpose of crowdsourcing parking data from city residents to ensure that public servants get alarmed as soon as a parking infraction gets reported and to help as a long-term data solution. This tool can also be used for conducting data-driven parking audits of bikes and scooters, on a neighborhood or even a city level. We used the app to conduct two parking audits in the cities of Portland and Seattle. Summary statistics of these case studies are mentioned along with spatial analysis of the data. Several statistical models were also developed to seek for any links between parking violations and elements of the built environment and/or census tract socioeconomic factors and demographics. One of the models for the City of Seattle shows that the number of bike racks negatively correlates with the number of infractions on a census tract level. Even though the results may be biased due to low sample size, the tool itself along with the analysis piece can be used as a framework for other cities to conduct parking audits of micromobility companies.

This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 1204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-disciplinary approach to transportation planning fundamentals The Transportation Planning Handbook is a comprehensive, practice-oriented reference that presents the fundamental concepts of transportation planning alongside proven techniques. This new fourth edition is more strongly focused on serving the needs of all users, the role of safety in the planning process, and transportation planning in the context of societal concerns, including the development of more sustainable transportation solutions. The content structure has been redesigned with a new format that promotes a more functionally driven multimodal approach to planning, design, and implementation, including guidance toward the latest tools and technology. The material has been updated to reflect the latest changes to major transportation resources such as the HCM, MUTCD, HSM, and more, including the most current ADA accessibility regulations. Transportation planning has historically followed the rational planning model of defining objectives, identifying problems, generating and evaluating alternatives, and developing plans. Planners are increasingly expected to adopt a more multi-disciplinary approach, especially in light of the rising importance of sustainability and environmental concerns. This book presents the fundamentals of transportation planning in a multidisciplinary context, giving readers a practical reference for day-to-day answers. Serve the needs of all users Incorporate safety into the planning process Examine the latest transportation planning software packages Get up to date on the latest standards, recommendations, and codes Developed by The Institute of Transportation Engineers, this book is the culmination of over seventy years of transportation planning solutions, fully updated to reflect the needs of a changing society. For a comprehensive guide with practical answers, The Transportation Planning Handbook is an essential reference.
