This presents several challenges for urban planners, who must plan for an environment that is suitable for residents, pedestrians, and vehicles, without compromising ease of mobility.<\/p>\n<p>A major challenge is the potential problems that arise from having a car-centered urban plan. By extension, commercial and residential development in the area will lead to an exponential increase in the number of residents and visitors.<\/p>\n<p>These issues will be magnified in the future by newly announced plans for a \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ura.gov.sg\/corporate\/planning\/Master-Plan\/Draft-Master-Plan-2025\/Long-Island\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Long Island<\/a>\u2019 in the area, which will see 800 hectares of land reclaimed for new coastal and reservoir parks and waterfront living.<\/p>\n<p>To address these issues, we completed a project that proposes a mobility corridor aligned with a car-lite vision. We focused on creating an efficient road network that encourages public and active transportation, thereby reducing reliance on private cars.<\/p>\n<p>This 2023 modelling project is part of a Masters Capstone Project for the National University of Singapore. It was headed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/chloe-tie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chloe Tie<\/a>, of Singapore-based consultancy <a href=\"https:\/\/surbanajurong.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Surbana Jurong<\/a>, and teammates Wan Weiqi, Feng Siqi, Mei Zihan, Wang Haowei and Zhou Zijin.<\/p>\n<p>Guided by Professors Xie Litian and Liu Yang, Chloe and her team utilized PTV Vissim software to propose the future of mobility in the East Coast Extension development in Singapore.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>A progressive mobility corridor<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Our team was inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/en\/city-and-mobility\/car-free-cities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the success of Barcelona<\/a>, which has grouped several city blocks (superblocks) together and restricted vehicular access. By closing internal streets to vehicles and restricting turns, these superblocks prioritize residents and pedestrians, fostering a sense of community and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the team&#8217;s design for the East Coast Extension included progressive scenarios that emphasized restricted turning movements and increased pedestrian space. The use of PTV Vissim was instrumental in modeling traffic projections to ensure the viability of the proposed mobility corridor.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22090&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_cta h2=&#8221;&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; btn_style=&#8221;flat&#8221; btn_shape=&#8221;square&#8221; btn_color=&#8221;white&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ptvgroup.com%2Fen%2Fapplication-areas%2Furban-mobility|title:Urban%20Mobility|target:_blank&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Solve multi-modal mobility challenges<\/h2>\n<p>Improve your urban mobility planning[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Enhancing public transport<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Navigating the challenges of transitioning from a car-centric to a car-lite development, this project addressed issues such as potential traffic congestion and the need for enhanced public transportation.<\/p>\n<p>PTV Vissim facilitated scenario testing, allowing the team to assess the impact of dedicated bus lanes, turning restrictions and lane reductions.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed solutions aimed to improve road safety, accessibility, and sustainability, setting the stage for a transformative urban environment[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22059&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>The results<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Using the PTV Vissim models, our team achieved these results:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traffic flow and congestion reduction: <\/strong>PTV Vissim&#8217;s traffic simulation capabilities showed a significant improvement in traffic flow, especially along the mobility corridor. The reduction of lanes resulted in a more streamlined and efficient movement of vehicles, with a noticeable reduction in congestion levels. Dedicated bus lanes and turning restrictions played a key role in reshaping traffic dynamics, in line with the overall goal of achieving a car-lite environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Public Transportation Reliability and Accessibility: <\/strong>The gradual transition from dedicated bus lanes to a long-term vision of a bus-only corridor showed a significant improvement in the level of service (LOS) for public buses. The corridor design focused on high-capacity transit, resulting in increased efficiency, reduced delays, and a reliable public transportation system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety: <\/strong>The reduction in travel lanes resulted in improved safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. With narrower roadways, shorter crossing distances, and designated bike lanes, the mobility corridor became a safer and more accessible space for active transportation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22067&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Watch the modeling<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Bus-only corridor<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ey4Vxgo-s7A&amp;list=PLA07EA44DD936DBD2&amp;index=3&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Restricted turning lane<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K0Ejf0xQ_LU&amp;list=PLA07EA44DD936DBD2&amp;index=1&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Dedicated bus lanes<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D4WlI7f5cpc&amp;list=PLA07EA44DD936DBD2&amp;index=2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The proposed mobility corridor for the East Coast Extension demonstrates the concrete results of data-driven planning and optimization through the application of PTV Vissim.<\/p>\n<p>This project serves as a demonstration of the practical implications of public transportation optimization for the community and commuters.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22075&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"card-text\">Fewer cars, more bicycles and pedestrians: Planners use PTV Vissim models to propose human-centered mobility in the developing East Coast Extension district [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"m-0\"><a class=\"btn btn-outline-secondary btn-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/en\/user-insights\/modeling-car-lite-district-singapore-ptv-vissim\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":26058,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8326,8322],"tags":[8377,8371],"ppma_author":[8291],"class_list":["post-22038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-modeling-planning","category-user-insights","tag-traffic-simulation","tag-urban-mobility"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.0 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Modeling Singapore&#039;s New Mobility Corridor with PTV Vissim | PTV Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"PTV Vissim: The mobility modeling software helping to plan Singapore&#039;s newest district.
