4. Reduce in regional economic health.
Delays resulting in lost business , personal losses
etc…(late arrivals).
Inability to forecast travel time accurately.
wasted fuel increases air pollution & co2 emission
which contribute
Global warming
Frequent repairs & replacements of vehicles.
Causing health problems in motorists….[stress,
frustration ].
Emergency vehicles may be blocked.
“ rat running”( affects the neighborhood amenity) .
5. Main solution for controlling traffic congestion is
Congestion pricing
Congestion pricing or congestion charge is a system
of surcharging users of transport network in periods
of peak
Demand to reduce traffic congestion……

7. Cordon area pricing: charges for passing the
cordon line around a city center.
Area wide pricing: charges for being inside
an area.
Toll ring pricing: Toll collection surrounding
the city.
Corridor pricing : Access to a lane is priced.
8. OBJECTIVE :To make users more aware of the
costs that they impose upon one another when
consuming during the peak demand, and that they
should pay for the additional congestion they create.
i.e. when demand exceeds supply…….
Congestion pricing is widely used by telephone and electric
utilities, metros,railways & auto bus services.
Critics maintain that congestion pricing is not equitable,
places an economic burden on neighboring communities, has
a negative effect on retail businesses and on economic
activity in general, and is just another tax.
10. Sreet markings and a sign (inset) with the white-on-red C
alert drivers to the congestion charge.
11. A system that enables settlement of parking fees without
parking tickets and cash.
IU-> in-vehicle unit.
CHU->charging unit.
More than 99% of vehicles in Singapore are equipped with IU’s.
Toll fee is collected into the IU’s using RF communication from IC cards.

19. Efforts in controlling Air pollution
Singapore Green plan 2012 (SGP 2012)
AIM: To reduce Green house gas emissions up to 5% by 2012.
By using :
New air pollution controlling equipments like Air filters ,
Gas& smoke analysis apparatus.
Solar panel technology as Energy provider.
Natural gas instead of fuels to generate electricity.
By installing catalytic converter in motor vehicles.
Alternate energy such as hydro-electric power or wind
power instead of fossil fuels.
Encouragement of more eco-friendly vehicle use through
“Green vehicle rebate.”
20. AIM: To make consumers more environmentally
friendly & to support clean
Emerging technologies.
GREEN VEHICLES are more fuel efficient &
emit less air pollutants.
GVR was first introduced in 2001.
