Transportation System Issues
and Challenges1. Traffic congestion
When demand > supply (capacity) To mitigate:
Network expansion
Proper traffic control and management strategies
2. Traffic safety Road accidents increasing, fatality rates Motorcyclist accidents To mitigate:
Public awareness through campaign Stricter traffic regulations and enforcement
Engineering design: geometric and skid resistancepavement
ABS lock system and helmet
44/18
Transportation System Issuesand Challenges (contd)
3. Transportation equity Road pricing issue
Transportation for disabled
To mitigate: Wheel chair lift on the bus
Disabled person parking lots
4. Environment issue Noise pollution
Vehicle emission and air pollution
To mitigate:
Noise barrier
Filter
Stricter regulations; Clean Air Act

Transportation System Issues
and Challenges (contd)
5. New technology
Better integration, coordination and management
of traffic and transportation
Examples:
Variable message signs for traffic informationdissemination
GPS for vehicle location detection
Touch-n-go for easy payment at toll booth
Sensors and ABS lock system to improve safety
Weigh-in-motion machine for trucks weightmeasurement

Performance measures forsystem evaluation
To evaluate a design, access the impact ofproposed alternatives: Density of traffic (vehicle per km)
Average speed and maximum velocity (km/hr) LOS airport (person per meter square)
Noise and air pollution (decibels, g/m3)
Operational capacity (vehicle per hour)
