STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF NEW TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS ON URBAN TRANSPORTATION AND ENVIRONMENT BY COMPUTER SIMULATION

This paper deals with computer simulation program and the results of computation for the case of three new transportation systems, that is, PRT (Personal Rapid Transit), E/V (Electric Vehicle), ERGS (Electronic Route Guidance System) being introduced for twenty years in a certain city (542 thousand population, 46 zones) which has rapid transit and bus already. The result of computations are given in the form of annual change of 8 indices indicating qualities of urban transportation, for the case without any new introduction, with a single new transportation system, and with simultaneous introduction of several new systems.
