摘要
This paper presents a new perspective for engineers when planning, designing, and managing transportation systems-as well as for those restoring and replacing ageing infrastructure. It provides evidence on how taking a "human" approach to trans- port will enable engineers to find smarter ways to move people and goods across cities, countries, and continents. Human-cen- tered mobility puts the user directly at the heart of design and decision making. By adopting this approach, we can create effi- cient and resilient transport solutions that are mutually beneficial for both passengers and operators and which shape better cities and communities.
1.引言为满足人们日常生活、生产、娱乐的需要,在城市中建设了各种各样的基础设施,如商店、厂房、办公楼、住房、道路、管网等。城市人口的迅速增长和人们对美好生活的追求,导致了对公交、铁路、飞机、汽车和地铁的更大需求,生产、物流、运输和废物排放的更大规模,以及各种类型服务设施,如商场、银行、排污、通讯、数据中心、医疗和养老等设施的建立。于是,城市迅速扩张,城市物理系统变得愈加复杂。如果城市规划与管理不当,就必然会出现交通拥堵、环境污染。
