Abstract

This study performed a gap analysis of data for urban transport planning in two countries, one developing, and one developed with a view to conducting a gap analysis in the two countries and then comparing the results. The study commenced with an exploration of the background study of the research area by highlighting the importance of data collection and the types of data that are collected for urban transport planning. The specific types of data that are identified as collected were listed in order to enable the contextualisation of the work to be carried out in the subsequent sections of the study. Furthermore, the identified data collection methods in transport planning were identified and discussed, the key methods were highlighted, and the future directions identified in the background area were discussed. Thereafter, the activities directed towards the collection of data and the actual collection of data for public transport planning in the UK and KSA were discussed. The gap analysis showed that the UK has a robust framework for the collection of data for urban transport planning which the KSA does not, and in fact it was discovered that the most importance concern of the KSA government is how to reduce the number of private motor vehicles on its roads and increase the number of buses, and thereby reduce greenhouse gas emissions with a currently a serious cause for concern. The UK also needs to concentrate more on the collection of data for the management of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), and Mobility as a Service (MaaS), in preparation for the deployment of both forms of transport.

发展中国家城市交通规划数据差距分析:联合王国(UK)和沙特阿拉伯王国(KSA)比较研究

本研究对两个国家的城市交通规划数据进行了差距分析，一个是发展中国家，另一个是发达国家，目的是在两个国家进行差距分析，然后比较结果。这项研究首先探讨了研究领域的背景研究，强调了数据收集的重要性和为城市交通规划收集的数据类型。列出了确定为收集的特定类型的数据，以便在研究的后续部分中进行工作的背景化。在此基础上，对交通规划中常用的数据收集方法进行了识别和讨论，重点介绍了其中的关键方法，并对背景区确定的未来发展方向进行了讨论。此后，讨论了针对英国和沙特阿拉伯公共交通规划的数据收集和实际数据收集的活动。差距分析表明，英国有一个强大的框架来收集城市交通规划的数据，而KSA没有，事实上，它被发现，KSA政府最重要的关注是如何减少其道路上的私人机动车辆的数量，增加公共汽车的数量，从而减少温室气体排放，目前一个严重的问题。英国还需要更多地关注联网和自动驾驶汽车(cav)以及移动即服务(MaaS)管理的数据收集，为这两种交通方式的部署做准备。

期刊介绍： With ICT pervading everyday objects and infrastructures, the ‘Future Internet’ is envisioned to undergo a radical transformation from how we know it today (a mere communication highway) into a vast hybrid network seamlessly integrating knowledge, people and machines into techno-social ecosystems whose behaviour transcends the boundaries of today’s engineering science. As the internet of things continues to grow, billions and trillions of data bytes need to be moved, stored and shared. The energy thus consumed and the climate impact of data centers are increasing dramatically, thereby becoming significant contributors to global warming and climate change. As reported recently, the combined electricity consumption of the world’s data centers has already exceeded that of some of the world''s top ten economies. In the ensuing process of integrating traditional and renewable energy, monitoring and managing various energy sources, and processing and transferring technological information through various channels, IT will undoubtedly play an ever-increasing and central role. Several technologies are currently racing to production to meet this challenge, from ‘smart dust’ to hybrid networks capable of controlling the emergence of dependable and reliable green and energy-efficient ecosystems – which we generically term the ‘energy web’ – calling for major paradigm shifts highly disruptive of the ways the energy sector functions today. The EAI Transactions on Energy Web are positioned at the forefront of these efforts and provide a forum for the most forward-looking, state-of-the-art research bringing together the cross section of IT and Energy communities. The journal will publish original works reporting on prominent advances that challenge traditional thinking.
