This book aims to provide a good understanding of and perspective
on sustainable transport in Asia by focusing on economic,
environmental, and social sustainability. It is widely acknowledged
that the current situation and trends in transport are not always
sustainable in Asia, due in part to the fast-growing economy and
the astounding speed of urbanization as well as least-mature
governance. As essential research material, the book provides
strong support for policy makers and planners by comprehensively
covering three groups of strategies, characterized by the words
"avoid" (e.g., urban form design and control of car ownership),
"shift" (e.g., establishing comprehensive transportation systems
and increasing public transportation systems for both intracity and
intercity travel), and "improve" (e.g., redesign of paratransit
system, low-emission vehicles, intelligent transportation systems,
and eco-life). These are elaborated in the book alongside
consideration of the uncertainty of policy effects in the future.
The book is also valuable for scholars and scientists because of
the diverse methodologies presented and proposed herein. Among
those are the four-step model with full feedback mechanisms, the
bi-level programming model with sustainability goals, data
envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis approaches,
structural equation models, discrete and/or continuous choice
models, copula-based models, survival models, and driving risk
models with short-term memory. Using data collected from more than
ten Asian cities, including those in both developed and developing
nations, the pathway to sustainable transport in Asia gradually
becomes clear.
