Multi-modal Transportation system

Associated the automated vehicle innovation will change the manner of the way individuals move around. In 1940, walking, bicycling and open travel was perceived as vital travel modes in any case (Todd Litman 2017). Human mobility has been inside of urban zone area that always uses a multi-modal transport network. For many reasons, people often use more than one mode of transportation to reach their destination. Today, Canberra has prepared a multi-modal transportation network within the bus, cycling/walking and light train. In an estimation released less than 10 kilometres and 40 % of Canberran has been part of a trip to working and effortlessly cycled (ACT Government 2012). However, the demand for travelling by private car is still existing surrounding citizen. Some people assume that travel times and the route by a multi-modal system is an ineffective way to involve in their activities. To reduce those issues, firstly government should improve the public transit and route networks, the frequency of bus/ light rail especially in rush hours and lastly, combine-mode trips have been extended (Fu 2014). Therefore, route and mode choice behaviours in multi-modal network consider by travel time reliability has become an important issue to attract people. Multi-modal transportation can reduce the traffic and vehicle emission the outcomes is the city become more livable.
