sustainable transport

ITS can play an enabling role in the implementation of sustainable mobility interventions such as travel demand management, improved accessibility to public transit and safety assurance. In cities like London and Singapore, ITS has been considered as a traffic management and road charging measure to mitigate congestion. ITS initiatives implemented in cities such as Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Indore, Mysore, etc. primarily include traffic management and public transport operations (passenger information system, fare collection, traffic control centre, vehicle tracking).

The report aims to understand the policies governing app-based shared mobility (ASM) services currently, and prepare a roadmap to improve the services.

The public transport system in Bengaluru is hampered by the lack of seamless connectivity. This op-ed argues that Metro stations can be used as transit points for multimodal integration. 

The report explores the possibility of replacing cycle rickshaws with two-seater e-rickshaws for the welfare of the rickshaw-puller community in Patna, Bihar.
