Research Framework Focusing Transportation Accessibility Planning, Computer Based Modeling and Transportation Policy Outlines for Remote Regions of Developing World
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: The main objective of this proposed research study is the formulation of a regional transportation policy plan which can mitigate the problems of data storage, rural individual accessibility and unavailability of transportation policy guidelines for sustainable development. Land Transportation is considered as a backbone for rural regions. Rural areas of the developing world get depressed and struggled to meet with the ever increasing household and other basic needs without road connectivity. Sustainable transportation planning approaches can assist the rural population in accessing various socioeconomic activities. Rural accessibility is closely related to the physical and socioeconomic problems of the rural population. Authentic data availability seems impossible in rural regions due to their remoteness and carelessness of concerned agencies. Regional transportation plan can be developed to counter the problems of rural inaccessibility, un-availability of quality data and its easy retrieval and unavailability of general transportation policy for rural regions. The purpose of this study is to address and remedy such problems within the limited available resources. The proposed study can definitely open up the new ideas for planning agencies and can assist in achieving regional socioeconomic development targets.
