Abstract
This chapter introduces five main subjects in transport supply and demand management namely TDM development in Singapore and Hong Kong; effects of congestion pricing at the Namsan Tunnels and bus system restructuring in Seoul; managing the use of motorcycles in Taiwan; and challenging Sustainable Urban Logistics.
It is significant to adopt an integrated comprehensive city-wide land use and transportation planning at the initial stage of city development for both passenger and freight transport. Various Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures, such as increasing tunnel tolls and car tax to a large extent will effectively solve the problem of city traffic congestion. On the other hand congestion pricing is generally considered to be the most effective scheme to control auto-use while the bus system construction plays a very important role in establishing a sustainable passenger traffic system. Moreover, the motorcycle usage provides a new method for solving congestion. On the other hand, an effective logistic system is also critical for the sustainable development of the city transport system.
