A TRIO MANAGEMENT PACKAGE FOR RELIEVING TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN CAIRO: TRAFFIC, TRAVEL DEMAND AND LAND-USE MANAGEMENT

This paper reviews and compares the main strategies adopted for relieving traffic congestion and in particular the various traffic demand management (TDM) policies and measures. It presents the results of an attitudinal questionnaire survey that was conducted with a sample of car-users in Cairo. The questionnaire was meant to recognize the work trip characteristics, patterns of parking of car users in Cairo and determinants affecting their mode choice to use the private car. The first main objective of the questionnaire was to expose car users to three main potential TDM alternatives, namely the introduction of a new premium bus transit service, an organised carpooling service, and the possibility for teleworking with the intention of identifying car users' acceptability of these measures and their perception towards possible modal shift and use of these services. The second main objective of the questionnaire was to assess the potentiality, in terms of acceptability, applicability and effectiveness, of a set of TDM, LUM (land use management) and TM&C (traffic management and control) related measures that are meant to relieve the traffic congestion problem in Cairo. For the covering abstract, see IRRD 898930.
