This research describes opportunities to incorporate environmental, economic, and
social sustainability into- transportation decision-making throughout the use of
performance measures. That allows to quickly observe all effects on operation of
arterials in CBD sector at Hilla city. CBD sector (Sector 2) at Hilla city has arterials
network with 26 links and 9 nodes.
For calculating
CST (composite sustainability transport index), the data collected
consists of delay, noise, and observed accidents for both links and adjacent main nodes
within CBD and measuring all gases pollutants for main nodes only.
According to
CST values within Hilla CBD arterial network, the overall evaluation
of sustainability operation level is moderate for links and low for main adjacent nodes.
That means needing for better organization of traffic operation for link and
reorganization or implementation of new infrastructure projects for main nodes with
support public transport.
