Traffic-restriction in Ramallah (Palestine): Participatory sustainability assessment of pedestrian scenarios using a simplified transport model

摘要: Assigning specific infrastructure per transport mode addresses discrepancies between mobility and land-use developments. This paper elaborates on pedestrian scenarios for central Ramallah, a major urban developing area in Palestine. The sustainability of the four alternative is assessed according to participatory multi-actor multi-criteria analysis, which integrates stakeholder objectives evaluation scenarios. To determine impact each scenario traffic flow, an origin–destination matrix estimated by means counts, Furness distribution algorithm maximising-entropy approach. Results forward medium Al-Zhara as compromising governmental, operator local business groups, it instigates less congestion, pollutant gas greenhouse emissions. Detour routes subjected parking constraints are proposed optimise reduced flow.
