Optimizing sustainable urban transportation with multimodal and intermodal networks at transit hubs

Abstract

This dissertation examines transportation, a fundamental pillar of urban organization, while emphasizing that current means of travel contribute significantly to environmental pollution. In order to reduce this impact, the adoption of sustainable means of transport is crucial. Thus, the construction of modern transport infrastructure in Algeria must be harmonious and equitably distributed throughout the territory, especially in cities such as Blida, which suffer from rural congestion. Contemporary cities compete to attract and retain users, using urban attractiveness as a lever to achieve this objective. The improvement and promotion of local development strongly influence user perception and attendance. As part of our final study project, the proposed multimodal station in Bouinan presents itself as an essential platform for the transport sector, contributing to the sustainability of a rapidly expanding society. This multimodal station, designed in accordance with technical standards and environmental considerations, will ensure sustainable and healthy travel in the new town of Bouinan, while organizing an urban centrality within one of its districts.
