The role of sustainable transport in eliminating traffic bottlenecks Muthanna province

الملخص EN

The research aims to evaluate the current transportation system in Al-Muthanna Governorate, according to the concept, indicators and determinants of the sustainable transport system.

It aims to develop a vision for the development of the current transportation system in the region towards sustainability and direct the various interventions in this system according to the principles and requirements of sustainability.

The research relies on the descriptive and analytical approach in monitoring the current status of the transport network in the governorate, in monitoring the policies followed for developing transport networks, and then presenting a vision for developing transport networks towards sustainable transport.

The importance of research comes from the lack of a clear understanding of the development of transport systems in the province to achieve easy access, in a manner consistent with the actual need for transportation in a sustainable manner that meets social, economic and environmental requirements.

Many cities have developed plans to address traffic congestion in a thoughtful manner, so the importance of the research stems from of the importance of sustainable transportation systems and the extent of their impact on the city’s planning to meet the need for transportation easily and in a way that improves the social, economic and environmental aspects.

As for the research hypothesis based on that sustainable transport applications provide effective solutions to the current traffic congestion in the study area and addresses the challenges posed by the current transportation system to the governorate.

Based on partial treatments, which do not take into account the negative repercussions on the transport system and the ecosystem, which is currently being planned, in a way that adopts sustainable systems in the 2030 Vision.

The research arrives at the conclusion that the road density for the population was low compared to the global level, while the per capita share of the road was low.

By analyzing the degree of correlation using the beta indicator, it was proved that there is more than one interconnected transport network, while the use of the gamma index indicated the existence of interconnectedness.

The average in the network of the transport system, as for ETA, indicates the deficiency of the transport network in the study area and the current obstacles that must be addressed to achieve sustainable transport.

The research concluded accordingly to developing a vision to improve the transport network in the governorate based on a set of principles that take into account sustainable transport tools and global and regional experiences in this field.
