Focus on the mobility for every individual with in the particular boundary of a focus area.
Movement of people and goods is the main component of every settlement either small or lager. This movement often called as “movement of Live”. There are many cities in the history of world that are abandoned due to many reason. The main concern of here is to understand the system that makes this movement alive. A good transportation system is the indicator of strong and
“An efficient transportation system
is the indicator of heathy economy”
Types of trip need to facilitate by transportation system:
To get a whole picture of mobility system it better we understand the basic need of it. Numbers of activities are performed by individuals on daily basis that could be for education, work and other purposes. Some of these trips are short and some of them are long distance. For example the trip that is only performing to purchase the grocery item form nearby shop it ends in minutes. If you go for a regular medical check-up then it ends in hours. Usually work and school trips have fixed long term timing on the daily basis. Some other trips are made for shopping, social gathering and many more which counts under leisure and recreational trips. Those entire trip are based on biking, cycling, hiking, fishing, camping and etc. are also comes under recreational trip.
Transportation system in nut shell:
A well manage and properly organised mobility system must have the ability to under pin all such trips. To accommodate every trip based on different activity it is necessary that the system provides plenty of option for the user to choose accordingly. Mobility option is also term as the modes traveling available for different type of movement.
For Example:
If a person wants to travel for grocery nearby home may use walking and cycling for this trip so the transportation system provides them both options in safe and proper manner. Similarly for longer trip it may have option to either take BRTs/Bus or LRT/Metros.
Majorly the system includes Bus rapid transportation system (BRTS), Buses, Light Rail transit system (LRTS), Roads and traffic Infrastructures that work together to facilitate the every movement of the city. In last three decades the concern about safety increases. This was happened when WHO declare the traffic accident is among top 10 causes of human deaths. Considering this many developing countries are establish the zero vision that leads towards zero fatality due to transportation. Since when the ozone layer starts depleting the authorities are much concern about the use of fossil fuels. Apparently form numbers of research transportation system are the main consumer of fossil fuels. For this reason the private vehicle ownership is discourage by many transportation system of the developed countries.
