Based on data collected from around ten Asian cities, including both developed and developing cities, this book presents a pathway to sustainable transport on the continent with a focus on economic and environmental sustainability.
This book aims to provide a good understanding of and perspective on sustainable transport in Asia by focusing on economic, environmental, and social sustainability. It is widely acknowledged that the current situation and trends in transport are not always sustainable in Asia, due in part to the fast-growing economy and the astounding speed of urbanization as well as least-mature governance. As essential research material, the book provides strong support for policy makers and planners by comprehensively covering three groups of strategies, characterized by the words "avoid" (e. g. , urban form design and control of car ownership), "shift" (e. g. , establishing comprehensive transportation systems and increasing public transportation systems for both intracity and intercity travel), and "improve" (e. g. , redesign of paratransit system, low-emission vehicles, intelligent transportation systems, and eco-life). These are elaborated in the book alongside consideration of the uncertainty of policy effects in the future. The book is also valuable for scholars and scientists because of the diverse methodologies presented and proposed herein. Among those are the four-step model with full feedback mechanisms, the bi-level programming model with sustainability goals, data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis approaches, structural equation models, discrete and/or continuous choice models, copula-based models, survival models, and driving risk models with short-term memory. Using data collected from more than ten Asian cities, including those in both developed and developing nations, the pathway to sustainable transport in Asia gradually becomes clear.

Pressestimmen

Sustainable Transport Studies in Asia, edited by Akimasa Fujiwara and Jungyi Zhang offers an insightful overview of the themes considered in the book, emphasising the application of a range of models designed to understand the development of sustainable urban transport systems. this book provides a useful for reference point for researchers across a range of transport and other specialisms, emphasising here the mathematical modelling focus of the book.
