Proceedings of the 7th International Conference of Transportation Research Group of India (CTRG 2023), Volume 3

This book presents select proceedings of the 7th Conference of Transportation Research Group of India (7th CTRG, 2023), provides an opportunity for discussion of state-of-the-art research and practice in the developing world for achieving equitable, efficient, and resilient infrastructure, and opens pathways to sustainable transportation. This book covers the solutions related to transportation challenges such as road user safety, traffic operation efficiency, economic and social development, non-motorized transport planning, environmental impact mitigation, energy consumption reduction, land-use, equity, freight transport planning, multimodal coordination, access for the diverse range of mobility needs, sustainable pavement construction, and emerging vehicle technologies. The information and data-driven inferences compiled in this book are therefore expected to be useful for practitioners, policymakers, educators, researchers, and individual learners interested in sustainable transportation and allied fields.

Includes discussions to improve the transportation systems specific to developing countries Shares sustainable practice-ready solutions to develop & maintain transportation infrastructure of developing economies Brings together top scholars on the much-debated issue of minimizing transportation-related externalities
