METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS AND APPRAISAL OF TRANSPORT SYSTEMS IN URBAN AREAS

METOD FOER ANALYS OCH BEDOEMNING AV TRANSPORTSYSTEM I TAETORTER

Model studies will be made to provide data for the appraisal of future traffic solutions. The planning model should have the structure, problem analysis, goal formulation, proposal of solutions and evaluation of these. In all model towns, a study will be made of the present situation, three alternative long-term changes in the traffic situation, and short-term changes. Assessment of different traffic solutions is to be based on expected effects; many of these depend on expected traffic flows. These are dependent on the assumptions made concerning division into modes, traffic regulation measures, financial measures. Effects may be direct and indirect ones. The most important effects are accessibility, traffic safety, cost, and noise levels. Data for evaluation must be presented in a clear manner. The method recommended is graphical presentation in a factor profile. Some effects can probably be presented in combination which will make for clarity. The factor profiles must be seen from the standpoint of different population groups based on age, employment and health; assessment must also be made from the standpoint of the state, the municipality, public transport undertakings and the business sector. /TRRL/
