Improving Mobility Toward Sustainability

Population growth will lead to increasing demand for an efficient transportation system. In response to this challenge, the environment must be adjusted to support the development of a larger transportation infrastructure. Additionally, the development of transportation systems must consider the concept of sustainability to minimize the negative impact on the environment and the mobility of future generations. As a tool to increase the sustainability of transportation systems, system dynamics is utilized to formulate models for policy analysis designs that can be applied to problems in complex social, managerial, economic, or ecological systems. A valid model's structure can be altered by including more feedback loops, introducing new parameters, and rearranging the feedback loop's components to see the effects on other variables. To create scenarios that increase the transportation system's sustainability, strategies and policies pertaining to boosting mobility are needed. In this analysis, we outlined a scenario that would begin in 2024 and would enhance the transportation system's infrastructure while offering tax exemptions for electric vehicles (EVs) and incentives and refunds for EV chargers. The percentage of public transportation, route length, and the ratio of supply to demand all affect how well public transportation performs in terms of mobility. The simulation results show that the proposed scenario can gradually increase sustainability over time, which shows an improvement from approximately 73% to 83 % by 2040. Relevant stakeholders could play a key role in achieving this by implementing improvements to transportation system infrastructure, electric vehicle (EV) tax exemptions, and incentives and rebates on EV chargers.
