Sustainable Transportation Indicators for Urban Areas: A Systematic Review

Sustainable transportation is crucial for promoting long-term health, well-being, and economic prosperity of individuals, societies, and economies. Transportation is responsible for significant greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and environmental degradation. To identify sustainable transportation indicators in urban areas, this study conducted a systematic review of 23 published articles related to sustainable transportation indicators in urban areas, analyzing the articles thematically to identify five main themes: Accessibility, Environment, Infrastructure, Performance, and Economic. The most commonly mentioned subthemes were Gas Emissions, Energy Consumption, and Monthly Fuel Price. The findings also emphasize the importance of considering multiple indicators and subthemes for a coordinated approach to sustainable transportation that maximizes sustainability improvements in urban areas. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainable urban development and transportation planning by identifying and analyzing key indicators that can be used to measure sustainability in urban transportation systems.
