Abstract |
Traffic delays are not wholly new and are a well‐known problem that impacts many of
the world’s populations through disruptions and pollution. The rising urbanization and quantity of
powered road vehicles necessitate a greater traffic control demand to maintain flow and avoid jams.
In order to understand the notion of sustainable transportation, this study first examined sustainable
transportation systems. This research then assessed Pakistan’s present transportation infrastructure
and urban transportation to find the most reasonable and sustainable alternative to reduce
congestion. The Taxila intersection was utilized as a pilot study area because of its vicinity to Pakistan’s
leading economic hubs (i.e., industrial estates and the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi).
The study used multi‐criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques, including the fuzzy
AHP, TOPSIS, VIKOR, and traffic simulation software, to determine the optimal solution for a more
sustainable transportation syste
