Abstract:

Urban land redevelopment is an important component of city evolution and has a great impact on transportation systems. The current traffic impact analysis (TIA) is lack of a comprehensive component for non-motorized transportation under redevelopment, which is especially critical in China where non-motorized mode share is extremely high. For a better guidance of land redevelopment and non-motorized transportation planning, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of redevelopment on non-motorized traffic before the project is approved and the construction starts. The objective of this study is to fill the gap in the transportation impact analysis (TIA) system and promote the sustainable development of the non-motorized transportation. In this paper, the authors emphasize the importance of the urban redevelopment impact evaluation on non-motorized traffic, and focus on providing an evaluation framework for the impact analysis.They use the systematic analysis method to organize the procedures and objects of redevelopment impact evaluation on non-motorized traffic, and propose the corresponding evaluation indicators to analyze the impact qualitatively and quantitatively. A case study of Shanghai, China is discussed as an application. The results indicate that the redevelopments such as a residential land redeveloped into a mixed commercial land have a significant impact on non-motorized traffic, and reasonable improvements in the internal design are effective to avoid the potential negative impact. The framework and process can be integrated into the general motorized traffic impact analysis.
