Abstract
Abstract
The demand for transportation in Cairo is increasing rapidly since the region is attractive for immigration from rural and other urban areas as well into the Greater Cairo region. In addition, the area of new urban areas and communities is being expanded with new developments such as New Cairo, New 6 October, Badr City, Sheikh Zayed City, etc. The current motorized trips in Greater Cairo (GCMA) (i.e., the demand on different motorized transport modes) in terms of the number of personal trips are estimated as about 25 million trips in 2018, (JICA 2001- CAPMAS 2018). This research aims to assess the impact of constructing a new corridor connecting between new Cairo and CBD on the traffic conditions. Thus, a transport model was developed to be used in estimating the demand within the designated study area. Then, the key performance indicators are calculated, such as total travel time and total travel distance. The transport model is first calibrated and validated for existing traffic conditions, and it is then used to predict the future traffic conditions in the study area. It further comprises an assessment of the impact of planning data changes, including any proposed developments. First, a study area was determined; then, a transport model was developed as a tool for the estimating the demand on the corridor at the opening and future modeling years. The data available for developing the model are limited. The data consist primarily of traffic counts at selected locations during normal peak periods. Other data, such as socio-economic data and origin-destination studies, were not readily available. To overcome such challenges, an alternative approach was developed and employed in developing the transport model. This research proposes an advanced modeling methodology that attempts to make best use of available data achieving the target accuracy. Moreover, it presents an evaluation of the impact of the proposed axis on traffic pattern and on the level of service on the road network and streets within the study area.
