SUTRA ObjectivesSUTRA Objectivesto develop a consistent and comprehensive

approach and planning methodology for the analysis of urban transportation problems to design strategies for sustainable cities.

This includes the integration of:– socio-economic – environmental and – technological concepts – multi-criteria assessment – policy level decision support.

6 Final Review

SUTRA methodology:SUTRA methodology:1. Indicator based approach2. Scenario analysis3. Simulation modeling, linking

– Techno-economic model– Transportation model– Emission model– Air quality models (street canyon, city level,

regional)4. Multi-criteria assessment:

– Economics, environment, public health

7 Final Review

SUTRA methodology:SUTRA methodology:In other words:

SUTRA builds a MODEL SYSTEM that processes a SCENARIO of urban transportation into a set of POLICY LEVEL INDICATORS – but with all the underlying technical detail in a consistent and quantitative manner.
