| Abstract | The Transport Operations Research Group (TORG) has a long track-record of collaboration with developing countries and strong links with Professor A K Sharma in the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi. This provides an ideal opportunity for the transfer of appropriate expertise from the developed to developing world context and the development of new thinking on what constitutes sustainable technologies for transport in a developing world environment. Furthermore, the opportunity exists to draw on emerging good practice in developing countries. The objective of this proposal is thus to refine and redefine progress towards the development of safe and sustainable transport systems in developing environments. The research will develop Guidelines for the Implementation of Sustainable Transport Technologies for the developing world, conduct a feasibility study of opportunities for establishing an on-going coherent programme of collaboration between international institutions, and develop course materials for MSc and CPD | |
