Study transportation management guidelines Chaiyaphum Rajabhat University toward green university

Abstract

The aims of this research were threefold: (1) to conduct a survey and gather data on transportation infrastructure systems, (2) to analyze traffic conditions and assess the current transportation system's potential within the university, and (3) to develop a transportation management model tailored to the university's context, aligning with the goal of transitioning to a green university. The study targeted students and staff at Chaiyaphum Rajabhat University, involving a week-long survey from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to capture data on travel to and from the university. Data on transportation were collected using surveys on travel behavior and questionnaires. Analysis of the gathered data employed descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that the university's infrastructure and transportation information were relatively limited and adaptable. Subsequently, through expert analysis and brainstorming, guidelines were formulated to develop an environmentally friendly transportation system for the university. These guidelines encompass measures to control travel demand, including mandatory initiatives encouraging alternative modes of transportation to reduce car usage. Additionally, supportive measures were proposed, involving enhancements to pedestrian and bicycle routes, ensuring they are inclusive and safe for all individuals. The physical development measures aim to create an environment conducive to safe pedestrian and bicycle travel, with incentives provided to encourage a shift towards non-motorized vehicles in the future.
