SUSTAINABLE OPERATION INDEX OF ARTERIALS IN CBD SECTOR AT HILLA CITY

This research describes opportunities to incorporate environmental, economic, and social sustainability into- transportation decision-making throughout the use of performance measures. That allows to quickly observe all effects on operation of arterials in CBD sector at Hilla city. CBD sector (Sector 2) at Hilla city has arterials network with 26 links and 9 nodes. For calculating
CST (composite sustainability transport index), the data collected consists of delay, noise, and observed accidents for both links and adjacent main nodes within CBD and measuring all gases pollutants for main nodes only. According to
CST values within Hilla CBD arterial network, the overall evaluation of sustainability operation level is moderate for links and low for main adjacent nodes. That means needing for better organization of traffic operation for link and reorganization or implementation of new infrastructure projects for main nodes with support public transport.
