The road network constitutes the main part of the transport system for both passenger and freight traffic. Achieving a sustainable road transport system including multimodal terminals, autonomous vehicles, intelligent transport systems, infrastructure are considered to be important design areas. The efficient use of the transport system is essential in terms of economic, environmental and social sustainability. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods for optimizing the transportation process

The road transport system is closely linked to the land-use system. The road system connects territories at all spatial scale, on the other hand, passengers and freight travel behavior are strongly influenced both by land-use and the road transport system. Hence, research in the field of the interactions between land-use and the road transport system is still less, particular the influence of the economic crisis. This paper aims to find out if the statistical analysis of land use and mobility can help to answer the question of what happens during economic crisis on both land use and transport system, and unveiling key spatial relationships between them. The methodology for the analysis was developed accordingly with the data and resources available. First, an exploratory data analysis (EDA) is performed in order to identify the land use and mobility pattern during the last decade. This analysis focuses on six aspects, which are distribution of population and dwellings, employment and jobs, GDP, motorization and modal split. The second aspect consists on crossing the spatial patterns of the different aspects in order to find some explanatory relationships that indicate the presence of the key characteristics. The analysis is based on the case of Madrid Region. The land-use and transport data presented in this analysis are from 2004 to 2014, which are collected from the national statistical institute, the regional government database and two urban mobility surveys of Madrid. Through the exploration analysis, we find that there is close relationship between the land-use system and travel behavior in Madrid Region. With an increasing of new dwellings constructed in the outer periphery of Madrid Region, it leads longer trips distance and more travel cost particularly by car mode. Moreover, during the economic crisis, we also find the motorization level of Madrid keeps the same, as a result of the decreasing GDP and relatively decreasing household income.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3452

On Friday, 3 March 2017, at about 18:19 h, a metro track failed, prompting about 50% of Mexico City’s metro line-C to a halt. The track failure occurred at a peak hour when tens of thousands of commuters were heading to their homes. Given the interdependency among the modes of transportation in the capital city, the incident caused heavy disruption; it is believed that about 45,000 commuters were affected. A systemic safety management system (‘SSMS’) model has been used for the analysis. The results showed that: a) the model demonstrated its potential to the analysis of the transport system interdependency; it has been found that failure propagates vertically and horizontally; b) the model highlighted that failure propagation has to do with a coordination function; c) in relation to the case study, it has been found that the actions taken by the decision-makers during the emergency were less than adequate; d) the commuters traveling patterns should be considered when designing emergency plans; and, e) more generally, there is a need for the creation of a system to manage critical infrastructure protection in the context of Mexico. It is hoped that by conducting such analyses, we may gain a better understanding of the complexity of cities.

The article has a Yaroslavl region transport infrastructure study and evaluation. The authors regarded such transport infrastructure aspects, as the presence and composition of messages between the Yaroslavl region and neighboring regions, studied the availability, quality of roads of federal, regional and local importance, including road considered by category, traffic, etc parameters. The freight and passenger traffic on the railway and road transport volumes are presented as a comparison. The article has also the analysis of the cash rolling stock vehicles. As one of the transport security aspects is studied the road accidents and connected with it death dynamics. For Road Trips highways fitness evaluation had been taken an 11 Yaroslavl region companies pool on a range of issues, including the presence and transport infrastructure level and roadside service on the main tourist routes. In addition, were presented the federal highway M8 Holmogory from Moscow to Yaroslavl (of one or two ways directions) some audit service results. The article contents the research results, based on them, were concluded the main findings about the potentials and restrictions on the motor-car tourism as a most perspective one for the Central Federal District region. In general, the authors concluded the inadequate transport system developing in the Yaroslavl region. It is, of cause, the limiting factor. But, cause the transport system special program existing, the region authority is interesting in this tourism type developing.
